Review: ‘Sherlock Holmes’ on Blu-ray

Review: ‘Sherlock Holmes’ on Blu-ray

[[[Sherlock Holmes]]] has been indelibly etched in the mass consciousness of pop culture consumers thanks to a steady stream of adaptations and homages of Arthur Conan Doyle’s stories almost since they were first published. As a result, you say Holmes and a certain set of images come to mind beginning with the deerstalker hat and the cloak. Watson is always seen as comic relief, more bumbling aid than professional doctor.

As a result, Guy Ritchie’s take on the duo in 2009’s Sherlock Holmes was cause for debate. Some felt he was being blasphemous; others applauded how much more closely this interpretation hewed to the source material. The film opened to mixed reviews, skewing more positive than not but it also failed to ignite the box office. Still, earlier this month, the sequel went into pre-production and today, Warner Home Video releases the movie in a combo pack complete with Blu-ray, standard and digital discs.

The tale of Holmes and Watson dealing with the occult-minded Lord Blackwell is larger than most any other story, certainly larger in scope and menace than any of the original stories. Story writer/producer Lionel Wigram explains in the extras how he wanted to touch on the occult, then a popular subject in English society but without turning Holmes into a horror story. Instead, the clever Blackwell has spent months planning what is essentially a coup only to cross paths with Holmes, out to stop him.

Holmes and Watson are playing catch up, constantly finding new clues and adding them on the fly as the hunt for Blackwell continues. Meantime, complications arise as Watson is in the process of moving out of 221B Baker Street and preparing to marry Mary while Irene Adler, the one woman in his life, returns unexpectedly. The intertwining sub-plots are intended to flesh out the characters and relationships along with making it certain Holmes doesn’t catch Blackwell too quickly.

The problem is, Ritchie made a somewhat lifeless movie. His previous works are filled with memorable characters and inspired performances; here, everyone is fine and solid, not spectacular. Robert Downey Jr. is a fine Holmes, mumbling and wide-eyed as befits the constantly distracted character and his pairing with Jude Law’s Watson works well on the buddy level. Law, though, seems to lack the inner strength to do what is necessary, always having a weary look as he constantly comes back to Holmes’ side to finish the case. Similarly, Mark Strong is cool and evil, but flat as Blackwell and Rachel McAdams can’t make Irene sparkle, not enough to convince us she’s really the woman of Holmes’ dreams.

What had some diehard fans in an uproar was the action quotient. After all, Holmes is a cerebral detective, seeing everything and making deductions that stagger the imagination. Seeing him in numerous fights was the largest change from previous adaptations and Ritchie is a good action director. But, here things were too large and there was at least one fight too many. The entire sequence at the shipyards could have been excised since it doesn’t fit the rest of the film and was overlong and overdone.

The most effective thing in the film may be the production design which largely relies on CGI to transform modern day England into its earlier 1891 incarnation. The city lives and breathes and feels right. Hans Zimmer’s score helps as well.

Overall, the movie looks great on Blu-ray with solid visuals and fine 5.1 Dolby sound. The Blu-ray also offers us the film in the Maximum Movie Mode, wherein Ritchie appears throughout the film and discusses how things were shot or why decisions were made. The split screens and pausing for explanation are interesting with some nifty tidbits tossed in. This version runs just three minutes longer and is an interesting way to see it a second time. There are 31 minutes of assorted behind-the-scenes featurettes discussing how the source material and era informed the film. An additional 14 minutes has Ritchie and Downey discuss Sherlock Holmes: Reinvented. Surprisingly, there are no deleted scenes offered.

This is a perfectly serviceable adaptation of Holmes but as a film experience, it is lacking in the qualities one has come to expect from Ritchie.

Review: ‘On the Odd Hours’

Review: ‘On the Odd Hours’

On the Odd Hours (Louvre Collection)

By Eric Liberge
NBM Comics Lit, 72 pages, $14.95

Art is in the eye of the beholder, we’ve been taught. But it’s also a matter of the soul so some works move people while others are bored silly by the same piece. Apparently, there’s far more to the paintings and sculptures than one might imagine if you buy into Eric Liberge’s graphic novel [[[On the Odd Hours]]].

The third in an imaginative series of graphic novels co-published by NBM with the Louvre Museum, this book tells of Bastien, a deaf mute who has had an internship arranged for him by his loving girlfriend. Instead, he winds up missing his appointment and being recruited by a deaf guard to join him on the nightly rounds.

The night guards are charged with looking after the souls of the artwork, sounding percussion instruments in order to let them free and roam a bit before returning to their usual positions for the daylight patrons. Bastien is being recruited because the guard is old and sick and the legacy must continue.

The premise is certainly an interesting one but Liberge fails to make Bastien an interesting character, robbing the entire story of its power. The plight of the deaf mute is a difficult one, but we’re told he’s been difficult from birth, refusing to train himself to operate in the world. We have no clue what his girlfriend sees in him or why we should care for someone with contempt for the rest of the world. Had we seen some redeeming feature, his frustration with the haring world would have worked a lot better.

His mentor, Fu Zhi, delights in slowly revealing the museum’s true self to Bastien but with his illness, one would have expected him to explain more and prepare Bastien for his new role. Instead, Fu dies and Bastien winds up being fired from his job.

The entire final section of the book is Bastien’s immature attempt to regain his work and to protect the Louvre’s treasures. By the end, I am left deeply dissatisfied with the story.

Liberge’s artwork is attractive and works in a muted palette, making everything, even the classic works, feel drained of life. He’s ill-served by the small format of the book, 6.5” x 9”, so everything feels cramped. His balloon and caption placement is also dreadful and could have used a helping hand from his editor for greater clarity. 

Where he excels is in depicting how the deaf communicate and you gain a greater appreciation for their situation in a world built for oral and audio communication. A little less successful is how he shows the sonics freeing the souls of the artwork, especially as he frees most of them for the daylight climax.

Many will no doubt judge this as an artistic success for Liberge, who has graduated from fanzines to a fine career as a French graphic artist but for this patron, the work left much to be desired.

Review: ‘Fantastic Mr. Fox’ on Blu-ray

Review: ‘Fantastic Mr. Fox’ on Blu-ray

Roald Dahl’s imagination is to be celebrated. His books never repeat themselves and offer readers a vivid variety of ideas and images, memorable characters and incredible situations. Thankfully, technology today allows the works to be adapted with an eye towards retaining as much of his creations as is possible. The latest such adaptation is Fantastic Mr. Fox, another stop-motion production.

Available this week through 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment,  the fall 2009 movie is available in the combo package of Blu-ray, standard DVD and digital copy. Directed by Wes Anderson, making his first animated foray, the movie is a largely satisfying and entertaining production.

With an all-star vocal cast including George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Jason Schwartzman, and Bill Murray it tells the story of Mr. and Mrs. Fox (Clooney and Streep), who live a poor but happy life with their eccentric son Ash (Schwartzman) and visiting nephew Kristopherson (Eric Chase Anderson).  That is until Mr. Fox slips into his sneaky, old ways and plots the greatest heist the animal world has ever seen.  When mean old farmers Boggis, Bunce and Bean  (Michael Gambon, Robin Hurlstone, and Hugo Guinness) join forces to surround Mr. Fox and his family, they don’t realize they are not dealing with any old fox.

Anderson, who says Dahl was a personal hero, added the opening and closing scenes to frame the novel and they have the right feel, giving the film a nice resolution. Co-writer Noah Baumbach nails the voices of the characters and retains their inventive personalities.

The stop motion work is fluid and attractive, with a nicely selected color palette to make the story feel, well, fantastic. Credit goes to not only Anderson, but to Henry Selick, who collaborated with him on The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. When Revolution Studios folded, Selick left to make the equally engaging Coraline while Anderson kept the Dahl book and cut a deal with 20th. The voices were recorded in a variety of settings for a different tonal quality but it’s so subtle as to be effectively pointless. But the performances themselves are terrific all the way through the cast.

The Blu-ray comes packed with a variety of extras to accompany the 89-minute feature. Making Mr. Fox Fantastic is a six-part featurette including the visual look, adapting the script to the stop-motion film, the puppet makers, the puppet animation, the vocal cast and Bill and his Badger (only the 7-minute from script to screen segment can be found on the standard disc). A Beginner’s Guide To Whack-Bat is a fanciful newsreel about the sport played throughout the film; while Fantastic Mr. Fox: The World of Roald Dahl celebrates the author as is appropriate.

Read your children the book then let them revel in this film, which will stand up to repeated viewings.

Review: ‘Red Cliff’ on Blu-ray

Review: ‘Red Cliff’ on Blu-ray

The history of the world is rich with stories of personal triumph and epic events. In fact, so many stories remain to be told to modern day audiences, you would never need to leave the non-fiction section to find stories to tell. In school, we’re given such a surface review of global history that we’re constantly amazed to find out what really went on.

Take China for example. The country is our partner and rival in modern day affairs but what do we know of a land that can trace its culture back thousands of years? Sure, we were taught they were largely xenophobic and measured their rulers by dynasties but little else. But, to those growing up in the Pacific Rim, the stories of great warriors outnumber those we can tell about out forefathers.

This point is brought home in the release this week of the stunning [[[Red Cliff]]]. Director John Woo has wanted to tell this story about the fall of the Han Dynasty since childhood and spent years researching it, more years to craft a script and then months to film the story.

In 208 A.D., the Han Dynasty Emperor grants permission to the greedy General Cao Cao to form a movement that will pulverize two warlords who stand in his way.  The warlords, Liu Bei and Sun Quan, are sworn enemies but know their only hope for survival is to band together and counter the attack. Although outnumbered by Cao Cao’s vast and fast approaching army, the warlords put their rivalry behind them and end up surprising all those who doubted their small brigade. 

History, as we know, is written by the victors so most accounts make Cao Cao out to be evil incarnate but Woo wisely sourced most of the facts and character descriptions from the more level-headed Records of Three Kingdoms. This certainly makes all the players far from cardboard caricatures.

The story was so epic in scope, akin to [[[Lord of the Rings]]], that he shot a four hour film that was released internationally in two parts. A 148-minute edited version came to America last year, garnering excellent reviews although it didn’t perform well at the box office. The movie has been released by Magnolia Home Entertainment in a variety  of formats such as the two-disc Blu-ray International Edition with the complete film or the single disc with the shortened version. Both come packed with extras galore.

In watching the 148 domestic version, I thought I had seen enough. The problem for me was that too many of the key players were not developed as characters with Woo’s emphasis on his trademark action sequences which were larger and more involved than ever. As a result, Cao Cao is not the standard movie villain but also remains enigmatic, his true goals and desires absent. Similarly, Liu Bei and Sun Quan’s enmity is left mentioned and unexplored so their alliance is missing the significance it should otherwise posses.

Review: ‘Arizona Dream’

Review: ‘Arizona Dream’

There’s only one reason for Warner Home Video to release the 1993 disaster of a film, Arizona Dream: Johnny Depp. Anything with him in it is virtually a license to print money so the movie is released this week as a part of their Archive Collection. The DVD comes with the movie and nothing else as in keeping with the line designed for collectors.

While Depp was still at the beginning of his film career, the cast includes veterans who should have known better, including Faye Dunaway and Jerry Lewis. That’s right, Jerry Lewis playing a straight role.  The film also has veteran character performer Michael J. Pollard in a cameo and relative newcomers Lily Taylor and Paulina Porizkova.

The movie was shot in 1991, released in Europe only two years later and didn’t come to America until 1994. The original cut ran for 142 minutes while the television and home video cuts are at 119, including this release. From what I’ve seen, that’s more than enough and the director’s cut can stay in the vault.

David Atkins wrote what is politely called a romantic fantasy about Axel (Depp), a young man trying to make it on his own in New York City when his cousin Paul (Vincent Gallo), essentially kidnaps him for a trip to Arizona for Uncle Leo’s (Lewis) wedding to the much younger Porizkova. Depp, with his vivid dreams about Eskimos, is coaxed by Uncle Leo to stay and join the family car dealership. When Axel tries, he falls for Elaine (Dunaway), a woman who dreams of flying. Her stepdaughter Grace (Taylor) has her own dream: suicide and reincarnation as a turtle. Axel and Paul vie for Elaine’s affections while Uncle Leo is convinced he’s dying and wants to leave the family together.

The script, though, under-develops every character and there may be some comedic elements, but there’s little to hold things together. Why does Leo want to marry the younger woman and what does she see in him? How did Elaine get to be so daft and what demons drive Grace towards her own death? There’s a morbid tone to everything and despite the desert setting, the film feels dark and forbidding.

There’s a lot of talk of death from all the characters but there’s no rational behind any of it and interestingly enough, only two actually die. And let’s not even discuss the final scene.

Directed by Emir Kusturica (who cowrote the story) has some terrific performers to work with but doesn’t let any of them shine. Lewis is wasted in a nothing part and you wonder why the extremely selective performer agreed to be in such a minor role. Depp’s characterization tries too hard and at times feels like he’s in an entirely different film.

Review: ‘Toy Story’ & ‘Toy Story 2’ on Blu-ray

Review: ‘Toy Story’ & ‘Toy Story 2’ on Blu-ray

I think it’s fairly safe to begin talking about Toy Story and Toy Story 2 by stipulating that they’re amazing. Most, if not all, of  you have no doubt seen these Pixar films in the movie theaters if not on cable or DVD.

Pixar burst into the public consciousness with [[[Toy Story]]], which was fresh, charming and original. It was the first family friendly film to entertain all generations with character-based humor and sly winks to the Baby Boomers who were in attendance with their children or grandchildren. It spoke to everyone and coupled with fabulous CGI animation and a memorable Randy Newman soundtrack, the film put Disney and its competitors to shame.

Wisely, they proved they were not a one-trick pony by rushing out a sequel but instead offered up other originals first. But Buzz Lightyear and Woody were too good to let go and they returned for the sequel. At one point, when it looked like Pixar and Disney were headed for a messy divorce, the House of the Mouse put a third film into development without John Lasseter and Andrew Stanton’s involvement.

Fortunately, cooler heads prevailed and the two entities became one. Out of that notion, though, a third visit to Andy and his toys seemed inevitable. In June, the 3-D third and final film in the series (we presume) will arrive. To celebrate and promote that fact, Walt Disney Home Entertainment is releasing this week Blu-ray special editions of the first two films.

Review: ‘The Princess and the Frog’ on DVD

Review: ‘The Princess and the Frog’ on DVD

There’s a documentary about to open, [[[Waking Sleeping Beauty]]], focusing on the decade that saw Walt Disney Studios regain their mojo and produce a new generation of wonderful animated films beginning with [[[The Little Mermaid]]].  I’m really looking forward to seeing how that happened but we all know how it ends. Pixar’s CGI efforts arrived with [[[Toy Story]]] and suddenly 2-D movies looked like something from a fairy tale, old and tired. Disney shuttered the animation department.

When Pixar and Disney merged, the best thing to come from that was John Lasseter coming home and declaring that hand-drawn animation was far from dead. That statement became a fact last November when The Princess and The Frog
was released. Now on home video from Walt Disney Home Entertainment, it is a worthy addition to the family library.

John Musker and Ron Clement, who will get their due in the documentary, return as co-directors and it feels like they have not missed a beat. The movie follows what has become a standard template for a Disney film but they wisely spice things up much like the gumbo seen in the movie itself. Rather than adapt the tale and setting it in Europe, they felt a new venue was in order. New Orleans in the 1920s was an inspired choice, allowing them to feature people of color, along with the attendant dialects and influences.

The latest princess is not the first of color, a designation that more properly belongs to Princess Jasmine from Aladdin but having a largely African-American cast was long overdue. Fortunately, New Orleans has always been a real gumbo, mixing a little bit of everything and everyone so it’s the first truly multi-racial cast.

The story is entertaining with lessons learned and laughs to be enjoyed. The power of love proves more magical than anything conjured up by the malevolent Doctor Facilier. Also magical is the music from Randy Newman. While none of the numbers seem to be breakout hits, they do serve storytelling purposes and does give a number of performers, including the great Doctor John a chance to reach a wider audience.

Disney also uses a nice diverse vocal cast and the standout is Anika Noni Rose as Tiana. Everyone else is fine and well cast.

The movie is available in the now-standard combo pack so you get the Blu-ray, standard and digital disc in one nice package. Visually, the animation is bold and bright and eve more colorful on Blu-ray. The look and sound are ideal in this format.

The extras are a mixed bunch with solid commentary from co-directors Musker and Clement, along with producer Peter Del Vecho. For interested fans, there are a series of deleted scenes that never got beyond the pencil test and there’s interesting discussion as to why each moment wound up excised. Magic in the Bayou: The Making of a Princess is a nice 22 minute making of featurette.  After that, though, the others are shorter and far less engaging, including The Return to Hand Drawn Animation, The Disney Legacy (which references the Nine Old Men but doesn’t name them all), Disney’s Newest Princess, The Princess and the Animator, Conjuring the Villain, and A Return to the Animated Musical. The exception being Bringing Animation to Life, where Clements and Musker delve deeper into the process.

The Blu-ray is rounded out with Art Galleries and an interactive game, What do you See? for the younger crowd.

Review: ‘Cold Souls’ on DVD

Review: ‘Cold Souls’ on DVD

Much has been written about the human soul, what makes it so special and unique. How some souls can be twisted or damaged or how they could be sold to the Devil. It has been the inspiration for poetry, prose, and much philosophical thought. But the very idea that it is too heavy to carry around and therefore could be stored to lighten the burden…well, that’s unusual.

It’s the very premise of the little film Cold Souls
, which was written and directed by Sophie Barthes. The movie opened to fairly positive reviews last year but was largely overlooked despite the strong cast and intriguing premise. A work of sophisticated science fiction, it’s also a dark comedy in some ways. The film was released this month on DVD from 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment.

Paul Giamatti portrays an actor named Paul Giamatti, who is struggling with his role in a production of [[[Uncle Vanya]]]. Worried about losing his job and feeling terribly burdened by life, he considers storing his soul after reading an article on this new business.

Imagine his surprise to see his soul is small, the size of a chick pea and bright in color compared the more voluminous and grayer souls on display. At first he feels freed but fairly quickly he also recognizes the emptiness in his life. His performance has gotten no better and now he’s lacking in basic emotion such as empathy.

At much the same time, we discover the logical outgrowth of a business that deals with souls. They can be bought and sold legitimately, but also trafficked illegally as seen with a Russian mule operation led by Nina (Dina Korzun), who has smuggled souls imprinted in her until she arrives in America and delivers them to the same firm, run by Dr. Flintstein (David Strathairn).

Paul is unhappy so Flintstein quietly suggests he tries one of the imported souls. What neither realizes is that to make quota, the Russians are indiscriminately relabeling souls so he wants an artist but gets something else. When he finally decides to get his soul back, he learns it has been shipped to Russia, to Sveta (Katheryn Winnick), a model turned actress who just happens to be married to the head of the smuggling operation. On a trip to Russia to retrieve it, all the threads come together.

This is a terrific subject for a story and by keeping the focus largely on Paul, Barthes allows the audience to understand the daily complications of first having no soul then having the wrong soul.  She claims the idea for the film came to her from a dream and there’s an ethereal quality to some of the scenes so she has fully realized her concept.

Giamatti and Korzun are front and center in the story and both give solid, understated performances. Wasted in small roles, given too little to do are Emily Watson as Paul’s wife Claire and Lauren Ambrose as Stephanie, the lab assistant.

The disc comes complete with a short piece on the making of the soul extractor and several deleted scenes, one of which at least gave Watson more to do.

If only there were more movies that explored such engaging ideas without a lot of pyrotechnics, movies that could spark debate and better yet, thought.

Review: ‘Where the Wild Things Are’ on DVD

Review: ‘Where the Wild Things Are’ on DVD

Loneliness is a universal theme and one immediately can feel empathy for poor Max, who, despite a sister and mother, feels alone and isolated in his home. The only place where he appears happy is in his imagination, an ever-changing place where anything can happen.

When the fantasy becomes reality, though, his life changes. This simple little adjustment to Maurice Sendak’s classic children’s tale [[[Where the Wild Things Are]]] breathes fresh life into the story. Spike Jonze did what feel even attempted, which was to adapt the slight but fanciful book into a feature film for the entire family.

The movie, on sale now from Warner Home Video, takes us from Max’s home to a world where the Wild Things live. His imagination helps him tremendously when he first is exposed to these oversized creatures so he quickly convinces these guileless beings that he is an experienced king. He is quickly adopted and made their king and as he gets to know them, bonds with them in interesting ways.

His blossoming friendship with Carol is the most fascinating of the plot lines, especially as he decides on a whim to turn her own fantasies into a reality by ordering construction of a fabulous castle. Along the way, though, others suspect his nobility and what happens when the truth is revealed is telling. Unlike he nameless beings in the book, writer David Eggers wisely named them.

The population of this land are large and potentially fierce-looking but are little more than overgrown children themselves, complete with shifting alliances, friendships, and exposed vulnerabilities. The parallels to what has happened back in Max’s world are subtle and nicely woven in, expanding Sendak’s world just a bit.

Jonze wisely decided to forego the shinier CGI approach and put his performers in oversized costumes, from Jim Henson’s Creature Shop that works in the world he created. Max (Max Records), wearing a wolf costume, fits right in so nothing looks out of place. The voice casting, with familiar names such as James Gandolfini, Catherine O’Hara, Chris Cooper, and Lauren Ambrose, is excellent.

The world of the Wild Things is nicely realized with a muted color palette to set it apart from Max’s real reality. Overall, you can’t, ahem, imagine a better adaptation of the source material.

The standard DVD looks and sounds just fine. Unlike the Blu-ray, the extras are limited to a series of shorts by Lance Bangs which includes The Absurd Difficulty of Filming a Dog Running and Barking At the Same Time (5:32), The Big Prank (3:32), Vampire Attack (:51), and lastly The Kids Take Over the Picture (4:57).

Clearly, if you have children, this movie belongs in your library.

Review: Kirby Krackle – ‘E for Everyone’

Review: Kirby Krackle – ‘E for Everyone’

I first became acquainted with Kirby Krackle‘s music at New York Comic Con 2009, where no less than Joe Quesada himself told me to check out their self-titled first album. (Okay, it was a Twitter post to all his followers, but still.) It turns out the man knew what he was talking about, because I fell in love with KK’s self-described comic book rock on first listen – and before I knew it, I was a full-fledged Kracklehead. It turns out I had been wanting to hear a rock ode to Benjamin J. Grimm my whole life and didn’t even know it.

Today, Kirby Krackle’s much-anticipated sophomore effort, appropriately titled, E For Everyone, was released. I admit, I was afraid it was going to leave me in want of a retcon, but at the end of the last track I queued it right back up to listen again, and again, and again. Comprised as it is of a comic book shop owner and an accomplished indie-rock musician, KK’s biggest strength has always been its dedication to rock-solid musicianship and catchy hooks first and geeky subject matter second. I sang along to album closer Going Home at my desk twice before I realized it was a song about the band’s love for comic conventions, and that only served to enhance my enjoyment of an already great tune.

Their subject matter weaves in and out of different fandoms – E For Everyone opens with “Vault 101,” a pop-rock song about the video game Fallout 3 so catchy it should be regulated by the FDA, and it’s followed up immediately by “On and On,” a ballad that does more to demonstrate why we should care about Wolverine in three-odd minutes than his solo series has done in three-odd years. That’s the secret behind Kirby Krackle’s appeal: like geek-rock progenitor Jonathan Coulton, KK delivers songs by nerds, for nerds, that never pander and only rarely hew close to deserving the dreaded “comedy song” moniker. 

It’s not perfect, though, especially if you listened to their previous album as much as I did. No individual song is as grating on repeated listen as “Naked Wii,” but E for Everyone doesn’t hit the peak of brilliance as often, either. It makes for a more even listening experience but slightly lessens the album overall. Moreover, they repeat a few of their old tricks: “Henchman” covers the same ground as the earlier, better “Villain Song,” and “Roll Over” – a song about a ménage-å-every-female character-from-an-80’s-Saturday-morning-cartoon – takes over from “Marvelous Girls” in the “vaguely misogynist but still rockin’ party song” department.

Bottom line: If you’re reading ComicMix and you’ve listened to the first album, you probably love Kirby Krackle as much as I do, and this will scratch the itch for more you’ve had for a year. If [[[E For Everyone]]] is your first exposure to the band, then there’s plenty here to understand what all the hubbub is about. It suffers a little from more-of-the-same syndrome, but when the same rocks this hard, it’s difficult to care overmuch, and I can’t wait to see what the duo does next.

Kirby Krackle is very active on Twitter, so in their honor and in the honor of the man they’re named for, the final word in 140 characters or less: Don’t ask, just buy it!
