BEN STILLER & BILL PULLMAN...STRANGE FLICK SO FAR.

[–] HarlemEagle42 (18415) 21 days ago

Sounds interesting.

It’s a really good movie. Sherlock Holmes (Pullman) in Century City. With Ryan O’Neal.

In many ways it's a modern retelling of the classic Sherlock Holmes story "A Scandal in Bohemia."

We said the same thing and at the same time.

Indeed!

I WANTED TO LIKE THIS ONE...BUT CAME AWAY WITH THE DISTINCT FEELING OF...MEH...STILLER AND PULLMAN ARE EXCELLENT BUT THE STORY AND IT'S TONE IS SLOW AND KIND OF BORING.

I like Pullman when he’s twisted. Like this one and Last Seduction. Ryan was good this. Also, twisted. This was a creative adaptation of the Sherlock Holmes story. And it was after all 25 years ago.
