Day 25: "See No Evil, Hear No Evil"

And I shal speak no evil in this review. This is a classic comedy film from 1989. The era of no shame comedies like "Plains, trains, and automobiles", "Tootsie", and "Airplain 2".

I can hear the board room pitch meeting. "Ok, a blind guy and a deaf guy are framed in a murder, and they have to clear their name." "Will there be jokes about being blind and deaf?" "Most definately. Infact we can make the blind one black, so he doesnt know he's black." "Make the movie!"

This is a solid 3 star movie. I liked it and I reccomend it to you. And if you havent seen it, WATCH IT!

Day 14: "SHERLOCK: The Blind Banker"

Sherlock and Watson versus Ninjas. Yeah it's cool. It advances the story with new characters and love interest for Watson.

This is part two of the mini series. (See day 12 for part 1) As per my rules (see "first post") this mini series is NOT disappointing. Really loving this updated Sherlock Holmes. Now i do love the Robert Downey Jr.'s rendition but this NEEDS to be a regular series.

I am going to say 3 stars but I'm waiting for Part 3 for a final Score.

Day 9: "Lenny" Experiment in Dusty

Lenny Bruce was the first smart, edgy comic. From working as an MC in burlesque shows to top bill at some of the best clubs in america to  being a pioneer for the first amendment.

Now, as all good burlesque MC's, drugs and easy women were the norm. Having both in his life did not make his journey easy. From a drug addicted wife to booting heroin before a show.

Dustin Hoffman plays Lenny, damn near perfect. I have been a fan of Lenny for the past 10 years. I LOVED Dustin's performance.

The movie is directed by Bob Fosse, director of "All that Jazz" and "Cabaret". He knew what he was doing when he made "Lenny". It starts slow and a little like a soft core porn (there a lot of boobs and sex) and Dustin's performance really pulls you in. Half way in you are hooked.

With my Ratings system I Liked this movie and I recommend it, although it is not for everyone.
3 stars of 5.
