17 Again (2009)
Efron is surprisingly tolerable, and Mann is always money. Perry, who never really made it and is getting older, is OK with this bit part?

Sherlock Holmes (2009)
Ritchie’s film is definitely polished, and Downey’s got some charisma, but it’s all kind of blah story-wise. It’s just not engaging. Holmes’ ramblings are well-researched and impressive, but they’d be a lot more fun if I gave a damn about his struggle.

The Ten Commandments (1956)
Interesting story, and Moses is an interesting person. I wonder how much of this Old Testament story is real. Interesting that neither DeMille nor Heston were Jewish. Heston’s performance is good. Brynner’s also pretty good, though his coloring and accent distinguish him from the rest of the Egyptians. A little…
