DVD Reviews of The Hound of the Baskervilles
DVD Review: I adore Pete and Dud but....
Summary: 1 Stars
Peter Cook was the funniest person in the 20th century beyond a doubt. And Dudley Moore was one of the reasons that Peter was so hysterical. I waited for years to see this movie, bought it when it was first released on VHS. I can't even begin to articulate how awful this movie is. Even Peter's brilliance couldn't overcome the deadly direction of Paul Morrissey. DVD Review: Sophomoric and Stupid
Summary: 1 Stars
A gag a minute. Obvious, slapstick, unimaginative, silly, sophomoric and stupid. I feel stupid for buying it.DVD Review: Light-hearted and chock full of laughs
Summary: 5 Stars
In this 1980 movie, veteran British funnymen Peter Cook and Dudley Moore turn Arthur Conan Doyle's famous mystery any which way but loose! Peter Cook takes on the role of a strange and lazy Holmes, while Moore produces a gormless but energetic Dr. Watson - not to mention numerous other roles he takes throughout the movie, including Holmes's feisty mother, Ada! The laughs are unceasing, as you go from quirky scene to quirky scene. Don't take this movie too seriously, heaven knows that the nobody involved in making it did!
I am a fan of British comedies, and I must say that I found this movie to be quite good. I loved the interchange of Cook and Moore, as did many others, which is why they were teamed up on so many projects. I also liked seeing other stars that I recognized from other projects, including Denholm Elliott (Dr. Brody from the Indiana Jones movies), Joan Greenwood (from Miss Marple: At Bertram's Hotel and many others), Terry-Thomas (from It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World and too many others to count), Kenneth Williams (from the Carry On movies), Roy Kinnear (Henry Salt from Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory), Penelope Keith (from far too many to count), and...well, you get the point.
This is a fun movie, light-hearted and chock full of laughs. My family and I love this movie, and we give it out heartfelt recommendations. If you like British comedies, then you will love this movie!
DVD Review: Sausage investigation sausage
Summary: 5 Stars
Ahh, they don't make em like this anymore, not that I'd know. This is one of the funniest blinking movies I've seen in ages.DVD Review: A Very Silly Spoof of Sherlock Holmes/Gothic Mysteries
Summary: 4 Stars
I remember seeing this movie on television one afternoon when I was about ten. I never forgot it, because it had that same fun feeling as Monty Python's Flying Circus, and Mel Brooks films.
The humor is broad, and Dudley Moore is just terrific in three roles. You may recognize a few of the other Brits in the film.
The only thing that really dates this movie is a blatant parody of a scene from The Exorcist.
"The Hound of the Baskervilles" goes on the shelf with other silly flicks like Private Eyes (Don Knotts/Tim Conway), Foul Play, Murder By Death, Young Frankenstein, and Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
"She left some cold lamb on the side for you...."
