I don’t have much to say about “Sherlock Holmes.” I’ve never read any of the works by Conan Doyle (tho’ i think i’ve read versions for kids when i was in school) and i’m not even sure i’ve seen a full episode of any previous versions of Sherlock Holmes. I have picked up enough about Holmes from popular culture to be fascinated by the character, but i’ll admit that i was really only interested in seeing this version because i was interested to see what Ritchie would do with such a fascinating character. Also, Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law are pretty.

“Komaneko” came out in 2006 in Japan. I got to see it last november at The Grand Illusion Cinema, and this year Andy got it for me as one of my birthday presents.
I think Andy and i have been borrowing this DVD from a co-worker for almost 2 years now. I don’t now why it’s taken me so long to watch it.
We wanted to watch a Kurosawa, but i didn’t want one of his evening-eating epics. Hence “The Men Who Tread on the Tiger’s Tail,” which clocks in at a brisk 58 minutes.
Years ago we used to get together with friends to watch anime. During one get-together we watched “Whisper of the Heart.” Since “The Cat Returns” is something of a follow-up to “Whisper of the Heart,” Andy and i subsequently rented “The Cat Returns” to watch on our own.
This was one of the few Miyazaki films we didn’t own. But i’ve seen it and i love Miyazaki, and so i’ve always intended to pick it up. Then Randy got to talking about it, so i thought it was time for a purchase and re-watch.
