An American Holmes?????
1 of 1 found this helpful I usually write about movies that are exceptional in nature with exceptional actors. The movies I endorse have exceptional qualities which give you the reader a chance to see a well crafted movie. This time I must warn the reader of a particularly poor attempt at a Sherlock Holmes movie.
For Sherlock Holmes enthusiasts, Avoid This Movie! Charlton Heston always does a good job at any part he plays, but in this movie he was dreadfully mis-cast. He did a good job with what he was given, but the script was a composite from many of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's stories. It was like you were flipping channels from one story to another for about 90 minutes. The script writer should be shot.
For people who don't read and know nothing about Sherlock Holmes, you may find this an entertaining movie.
Beware Charlton Heston fans. This is not his best performance. This comes close to being one of his worst, if not THE worst. He may have the profile for it, but lacks the sharp, detail oriented, obsessive personality which the part requires and is dreadfully lacking in this film.
The non-entity that played Dr. John Watson, gives a brilliant performance, but stands out so memorably because of poor acting throughout.
This movie gets an average rating from me because I can stand back and put my love of and expertise in the writings of Sir Arthur aside and weigh this movie on its own merits. I have seen much worse and I have seen much better.
It strikes me that in the beginning Charlton Heston attempts a British accent of sorts and quickly loses it. Heston as Holmes? It's like Johnny Depp playing Shakespeare. It not only shouldn't happen, but doesn't work.

Pimsleur Albanian by Pimsleur (2006)
This is my first exposure to Pimsleur, but not to Language study. This is an EXCELLENT introduction to a foreign language. By the time of completion, you have a basic understanding of the language (in this case Albanian). The main strengths of this program are conversational skills and inter-personal skills. The vocabulary should be substantial enough to be able to communicate with native speakers WITH a DICTIONARY in hand. Without the dictionary, it would be easy to get lost and confused. The weak point of this system is the lack of focus on the written language. It is true that you learn the language quickly by listening to the cd's and repeating after them. The learning would be accelerated by incorporating reading and writing it as well. I purchased this product because my wife and I are looking to adopt an Albanian orphan in the future and they require a one month stay in Albania before they allow you to take the child out of the country. Learning the language is essential. I think that this course should suit my purposes very well. Mirupafshim! (Goodbye)
