Blu-Ray Review: Marvelous Release For Mediocre ‘Sherlock Holmes’
Submitted by BrianTT on April 1, 2010 - 3:06pmCHICAGO – Guy Ritchie’s wildly successful “Sherlock Holmes” looks and sounds amazing on Blu-ray but the flaws of the blockbuster film remain.

At the peak of his directorial abilities, one of the best filmmakers of the ’80s and ’90s turned his lens on the way we turn evil people into tabloid heroes and he did it with such vibrant style that “NBK” has just as much resonance as it did fifteen years ago.
Blu-Ray Review: ‘The Soloist’ Wastes Powerful Story, Great Actors
Submitted by BrianTT on August 11, 2009 - 12:22pmCHICAGO – Stars Jamie Foxx and Robert Downey Jr. do absolutely nothing wrong in Joe Wright’s “The Soloist,” now on Blu-Ray and DVD, and there’s more than enough inherent power in the story of a musical genius lost to mental illness and the horrible way we treat the homeless in this country for a quality drama, but this cinematic solo misses too many notes to have the impact that it should have with this much talent involved.
