    Mr. Holmes is the latest film adaptation of Sherlock Holmes, based on the 2005 novel A Slight Trick of the Mind by Mitch Cullin. The film is directed by Bill Condon (The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Parts 1-2, Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh). Rather than being a continuing adventure of the famed English detective in the late 19th century, the film takes place in 1947, with Sir Ian McKellen (Magneto in the X-Men series, Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings series) playing 95-year-old Holmes. This is gonna be one depressing film. Mr. Holmes premieres in the UK on June 19 and in the U.S. on July 17. Mr. Holmes @ IMDb

    But most of Nicolas Cage's films are already comedy.

    No Jason Statham, not a Transporter movie.

    Personally, I enjoy Tron more than Tron: Legacy, not just for nostalgic reasons, but because it's the overall superior finished product. Back in 1982, CGI effects were still in their infancy, so what you got in Tron was way ahead of its time. Even after 33 years, the light cycle scenes still look intense. The characters and storyline keep you attached to the film from beginning to end. And the music by Wendy Carlos, along with Journey, add to the digital environment. Tron: Legacy, on the other hand, feels phoned in. Given that computer technology has advanced over the past three decades, the producers attempted to create a more realistic looking Grid while catering to today's video game generation. Sure, the neon lights and vehicle designs look spectacular, but the action scenes just feel too predictable and slow-paced compared to the first film (and I'm not talking about the abuse of slow motion cinematography). The characters are uninteresting and Quorra is just there for eye candy. The storyline attempts to parallel geopolitics into a virtual world, but ends up being flat and overall uninteresting. If there is anything worth saving in this film, it's Daft Punk's outstanding soundtrack score, which mixes their techno flavor with sci-fi, action, and even spaghetti western orchestral music. I'm hoping that Disney brings the upcoming installment back to the roots of the first film while retaining the audio magic of Daft Punk.

    Coming to theaters on July 24 is Pixels, a sci-fi comedy remake of the 2010 French short film of the same name. Directed by Chris Columbus (Home Alone, Bicentennial Man), the film is about an alien invasion in the form of '80s video game icons such as Pac-Man and Donkey Kong. Unfortunately, it also stars Adam Sandler, which means this film will be a likely entry on the Worst Science Fiction Film of All Time thread. Pixels @ IMDb

    I was really hoping he would Dogshit this movie, but yeah - that Jedi throwdown on Geonosis just barely saved it from that rating. Still, it's the worst of the entire series; only an inch higher than the Christmas Special.

    It's already a given that everybody wants Clarkson to stay in Top Gear, but it's a question of how much BBC will pay to keep him in the show. If he decides to call it quits, where will he go? Fifth Gear? Hah! That'll be the day!

    By all means, the Star Winning Gundam is not the worst in the HGBF/SDBF line. That title goes to the SxDxG Gundam. The anime portrays Snibal-Drago-Gira as a huge, menacing dragon mecha, but the actual kit is a disappointing clusterf*ck that's not gonna intimidate anyone. Worse is that you actually have to buy three of this kit for that gimmick. SDBF SxDxG Gundam Review by Schizophonic9
