To those who loved the first one and expect movies to ‘take it up a notch’ your in luck!
We continue the relationship of Sherlock and Dr. Watson, but we saw the beginning of the separation that is occurring as Dr. Watson’s wedding is approaching.
Why not one last adventure before the wedding?
The characters take the action to more fighting, explosions and fighting among themselves.
For those who follow the Sherlock Holmes novels we watch the recreation of the most famous scene between Professor Moriarty the villain and hero Holmes.
No spoiler alerts, but it involves falling.
I bought this on Blu-Ray and now know that there is no other way one could watch it because your in the action from moment one.
The first movie was the introduction to the characters and this one is certainly all about the interaction that revolve around each other while on a case and in life.

The Muppets (PG)
I first like to thank Jason Segel for co-writing and bringing the Muppets back after nearly a 12 year vacation.
Then I’d like to say if you remember anything from your childhood that involved Jim Henson’s Muppets you’ll be able to relive a memory that one rarely make in ones adult life.
The movie involves that later years after the Muppets went off their separate ways and must reunite to save the studio they once loved.
The flashback clips of the more famous scenes of the show are included and so are the main cast of characters.
Wait until it comes down to $10 bucks and then add this to your collection. For the kids in your life, which includes the one that is still inside you.

50/50 (Rated R)
Indie dramedy "50/50" is a movie about a Friendship that is tested when one is diagnosed with Cancer.
We watch the story of a young man, named Adam, who just learned he has a rare cancer involving the spinal column and watch on how his life changes.
The loss of his girlfriend, an already under stressed mother, who is handling her husband’s Alzheimer’s disease tries to connect with her son, and her Friendship with his best Friend Kyle and a new relationship with a therapist and fellow Cancer patients.
As you watch you believe Kyle is only interested in the fact that he can use his Friends ‘Cancer’ as a hook to get women and use municipal marijuana. Near the end we see that’s not completely true. Hint: Book.
If you don’t cry at least once, especially right before the risky surgery happens and everyone is saying ‘you’ll be okay’ lines then you have no crying abilities.
Will he survive the surgery? No spoils here!
I would have given this real life story 5 out of 5 stars, but we never got to peek at the additional stress of how he was exactly going to pay for all his treatments or how his work was effected by his Cancer. So it only gets a 4 ½ stars.

Thor (PG-13)
At first I thought ‘Not another comic come to life’ movie and then I watched Thor. Watched it 3 times.
First was for the fact that Chris Hemsworth is a hot piece of manly meat.
Second time was the story itself. We watch as the almighty and arrogant Thor ~ son of Odin tries to take hold an entire kingdom before learning a lesson that he works for his people and not the other way around. There is more than battles and not compromise.
All awhile we have his brother who has Issues of his own and tries to screw with big brothers head as he is banished to Earth with no Super Powers to play with, but being human.
Then we have a battle scene and wa-la the hard love scene never transpires, thank goodness, and Thor learns his lesson, defeats brother (kind of ~ clip at end of credits), and reunited with his home.
Third time was to both find the cameo by Stan Lee (comic creator) and what is wrong with the movie compared to the comic book.
Trust me the “problems” were so minor that you won’t complain much as you watch the story unfold.
Rent @ $9.99 ✓

The A-Team (Unrated Extended Cut)
This movie is based on the 80’s hit TV show with the same name. It was a show about how 4 Special Forces men were wrongly convicted of a crime and now use their military skills to help others in need.
In the movie for all the action and slim story line, which includes trying to clear their names there are a few flaws as you can assume (correctly) what is to happen in a particular scene.
However, if you love the TV show or even know the basics of the characters and back story it wasn’t ½ bad so RENT.

Zodiac (Rated R)
If your going to watch this movie for 21/2 hours then make sure you take a bathroom break first.
The movie draws on in slow-mo fashion to display all the evidence that were gathered and we watch as a young man’s obsession takes over his life.
Jake Gyllenhaal plays a cartoonist at a newspaper that falls into the trap of trying to uncover the Zodiac killer.
The movie gives great details of the span of time that his reign of terror endured and if you’ve ever need something to keep you company on a night you can’t sleep--get this movie.
The movie itself is fantastic on details and events on the times of the case, but way too long.
However, if you really get involved in the young man’s plight trying to assist the police it will be all worth it.
The other thing that I didn’t care for the movie is what most movies have in them. The ending has text you must read and because it was so tiny (even on a big screen) I had to rewind, get off the couch, and then read the follow-up details.
Rent.

Zebra Lounge (Rated R)
Zebra Lounge is a movie thriller of the life of swingers.
When a regular couple tries to excite their sex lives they enter the world of swingers.
Sure they try the lifestyle with a couple they believe is "safe", but soon find out how twisted they really are.
Stephan Baldwin plays a nice looney tune and the on screen sex is mildly erotic.
This is a story of "the grass always seems greener on the other side" and "careful what you wish for" type story.
This is another $5 movie, but I'd skip it.
