Did you hear about the Morgans reminds me of a 80s movie, plot wise the Morgans witness a murder and are put into witness protection in the country... but Oh no they are from New York how will they cope?! Their marriage is kind of in trouble as they have separated but Hugh Grants character is really sorry for sleeping around and wants to get back with his wife. Sometimes you wonder how a film gets made because the script is so bad and once finished it even makes the cinema rather than going straight to DVD. It isn't that the acting is bad... it's the script and plot... it was never going to be good without major re-writes. I think Hugh Grant and SJP were just thinking about the money when they took this job. I don't see anyone under the age for 65 liking this film. 1 Star.

With
Sherlock Holmes my expectations were middling to high. I'm a fan of
Robert Downey Jr. (since
Iron Man I guess), dislike
Jude Law (in anything) and like
Guy Ritchie as a director most of the time but he has been hit (
Snatch) and miss (
Swept Away). One of the biggest flaws with this movie is that the funniest bits & big special effects had all be shown previously in the trailers... this wasn't necessary they didn't need to show so much before hand... it's a good movie word would have go around, so where I should have been laughing I'd seen it before. Also it felt abit like Moriarty had been shoved into the film for the sole purpose of having a sequel, making the film feel slightly incomplete. 3 1/2 Stars.
