One cannot really compare these two movies, however one can say that these were probably two of the three most enjoyable movies I have seen this year. The first being Avatar, which was absolutely awesome and I will be writing a separate review on.

Here are some reviews I have received from my blog readers:

DRAG ME TO HELL

“We went to Ocean Basket afterwards & hired ‘Drag me to Hell,’ which I thoroughly enjoyed. I let out 3 screams, they got me good, but I thought the wrong envelope that was supposed to have the cursed button in it was very lame as we all knew it was the wrong envelope. The girl at the Video shop said she was disappointed with it, but I thought it was excellent, following the rule that in a true horror movie there is no happy ending.” Lyn C (3rd February 2010).

“I also thoroughly enjoyed the movie but was dissappointed that there weren’t any twists and turns with regards to the plot. However, no movie has ever made me jump that much before so it was really worth it.” Daniel C (4th February 2010).

“I walked out of the movie in the theatre soon after I saw the part where the fly goes up the woman’s nose.” Sbo T (October 2009).

“I thought it was an awesome movie and it wasn’t your average horror movie, it was more of a thriller as it would go through periods of extreme calm which would build up into something quite scary – Especially the part where the old ladie’s Handkerchief floats and then turns into a very scary depiction of the old ladies face.” Rob V (October 2009 – I watched it three times)

SHERLOCK HOLMES

“I hear the new Sherlock Holmes movie is not good for people who like Sherlock being the master of deduction. Apparently they’ve made him a super hero instead. We don’t like Robert Downing or Downey, so will give it a miss.” Lyn Carr (3rd February 2010).

“Anyone who says that about the movie has never read any of the Sherlock Holmes books or isn’t a fan of Robert Downey who actually takes on the role of Sherlock Holmes very well. Having read a few of the Sherlock Holmes’ books, I can say that the movie at the theatre was actually an accurate depiction of the Sherlock Holmes character. In his books there are often references to him being a regular cocaine user and both the Watson and Holmes characters were habitual smokers of tobacco. In his books he is an expert at chemistry, he discovers how to detect blood in one of his books using some sort of iodine concoction. He is also an expert at martial arts and fist-fighting. All in all, I thought it was a good movie – most definitely worth a watch as it integrates most of his books into one movie.” Rob V (3rd February 2010).
