Friday B-Movie Pick: Sherlock Holmes

Friday, April 2nd, 2010

Sherlock Holmes

Not the big budget Hollywood version that was just released on DVD/Blu-Ray, but a deliciously bad version by the same people who brought you uber-low budget Princess of Mars. I would guess that this one was done on an even lower production budget and was probably shot in about the same amount of time. The draw for SciFi geeks is Dominic Keating (best known for Star Trek: Enterprise) and Gareth David-Lloyd (who just finished up three seasons of really good SciFi in the BBC’s Torchwood). David-Lloyd played Dr. Watson and Keating played yet another brother of Sherlock Holmes. We knew about Mycroft Holmes (a founding member of the Diogenes Club) and his younger brother Sigerson. This film introduces yet another brother who’s name I can’t even remember from seeing this a few weeks ago. Even IMDB doesn’t list it. Ben Syder, in is first film role, was actually not bad as Sherlock Holmes, but again, this film isn’t high art. It’s B-Movie making at its low budget best.

What ever happened to Cindy Sheehan?

Friday, April 2nd, 2010

You remember Cindy Sheehan, the left’s “ultimate moral authority” when protesting the policies of former President George W. Bush.  Well, she hasn’t been in the news much lately.  Not since her campaign van had its tires slashed when she was running against Nancy Pelosi.

Well, it appears she made the news a couple of weeks ago, but not the same level of coverage she used to get from the fawning left leaning MSM outlets that she got protesting President George W. Bush.

She was arrested outside the White House, were she was protesting the policies of our Dear Leader. She was quote as yelling “Arrest that war criminal!” in reference to Mr. Obama.

You don’t remember seeing this on the evening news? Neither do I. No mention of it on CNN’s site either. It seems that Ms. Sheehan’s passion no longer fits the MSM’s narrative.
