Law & Order: UK - still really good, Castle still really brilliant.
Really not good: Ivanhoe. Dear god, what a bunch of dull, pseudo-butch, misogynistic, antisemitic drivel. Now I'm scared of Robin Hood. (I realize that the nineteenth century version of an action movie for teenage boys is not going to be politically correct, but merciful heavens, that was very very bad. And no, pointing out from time to time that rape is not very nice and Jews actually have feelings does not make up for 400 pages of explicit hate and implicit LOL GIRLS.)
I don't get it. Okay, so I'm the one person who can't stand Brett's Holmes, but apart from that, I always have fun with Holmes movies (well, disregarding that Buffoon!Watson makes me want to hurt people). I mean, I even like the Matt Frewer movies and the cartoon show. Hell, my favourite Holmes is Ronald Howard! And while I don't like Jude Law (he scares me, don't ask), I love the way he looks as Watson. I like RDJ. I was worried about the shitty old Holmes/Adler thingy, but they seem to work it well. The Holmes/Watson stuff sounds good. So why do I cringe every time I see anything about this movie? I want to enjoy it. I usually enjoy Holmes movies. But for some reason I feel resigned to hate this one. Maybe it's the "OMG we're totally reinventing the story" stuff. Yeah. That's like saying you have this awesome new horror movie idea about some people coming back from the dead with a yearning for human flesh.
