Jeremy Brett is too sexy!

A video that always makes me smile, if not laugh, is this one, done to Right Said Fred’s “I’m Too Sexy”

Jeremy Brett and Rowan Atkinson

On the theme of funny videos, there’s this one that is short clips of the Granada series with Jeremy Brett doing something, and then a clip of Rowan Atkinson’s Mr. Bean character doing something similar.  When I first saw the title of this video, I thought it was both of them performing together (that would have been a hoot!).

Sherlock Holmes- Stagnation

We now go to the darker side.  This video is made by givemeanimeanyday, the same person who made the excellent “Fix You” video that I posted before.  The song is The Precipice by Mogwai.  Deals with Holmes’ darker moods and habits.

Holmes and Watson at Reichenbach Falls

A great edited video using just two episodes: The Final Problem and Empty House. I’ll quote creator lyerlyreddwarf:

“My goal was to show in real time Watson rushing back to Holmes, after he has realized he has been tricked into leaving him to battle Professor Moriarty — only to find that he is too late. I also wanted to exemplify the emotions of Holmes and Watson — Watson’s sadness at the (erroneous) realization that his friend has died, and Holmes’ difficulty at not reveling himself when he sees his companion’s distress.”

Unless you have seen both episodes, it’s hard to notice which clips are from which episode. Wonderfully done, both editing and choice of music! Song is the Violin Concerto, 2nd movement by Philip Glass. After hearing this song, I became a fan of Mr. Glass

That’s it… for the moment

Holmes & Watson- Fix You

I got a little choked up when I watched the Read My Mind fanvid, but this one really got me choked up. The below one is done to ColdPlay’s [...]]]> Wouldn’t you know it? The next day after my post about my favorite Holmes fanvids, I found another really good one…

Holmes & Watson- Fix You

I got a little choked up when I watched the Read My Mind fanvid, but this one really got me choked up. The below one is done to ColdPlay’s “Fix You”, also featuring clips from the Granada series. As with Read My Mind, the editing done in time with the song is top notch.

Sherlock Holmes – Safety Dance

This one is a bit repetitive, but fun. Men Without Hats classic 80s song, “Safety Dance”. More Granada clips (are you getting the impression that the Granada series was/is that popular among fans? )

Sherlock can do anything

One that made me laugh was this one done to Elvis Presley’s “Blue Sueade Shoes”. And no need to adjust your computer, it is double speed.

I love how Holmes throws paper around the room. Poor Mrs. Hudson!

These (especially “Read My Mind” and “Fix You”) have got me thinking about putting together a fan video of my own. I already have a couple songs in my head, and have been working out what parts could go where. Maybe one day I’ll finally make it

Starring the composer, Hans Zimmer, along with Guy Ritchie, Robert Downey Jr (doing crazy antics. DANCE!…. but no Jude Law! Bummer!), Davey Johnstone [...]]]> As I mentioned in my review for Sherlock Holmes, I loved the soundtrack. LOVED IT!  Hans Zimmer is a genius!  And a week ago an official music was released:

Starring the composer, Hans Zimmer, along with Guy Ritchie, Robert Downey Jr (doing crazy antics. DANCE!…. but no Jude Law! Bummer!), Davey Johnstone (banjo), Anne-Marie Calhoun (violin), Tina Guo (cello), Lorne Balfe (co-wrote music), Aleksey Igudesman (another violin… the dude on the elephant), Satnam Singh Ramgotra (guy with full beard and the stand up big wide drum) Diego Stacco (crazy but awesome looking & sounding violin/viola/cello instrument), Atli Örvarsson, Bob Badami (don’t know exactly which one they are…maybe on the boat? or drumsticks?).

I wondered about the crazy locations and found the answer at Igudesman’s YouTube channel where he also has the video:

“Hans asked the musicians who participated on the soundtrack to video themselves, wherever they are in order to make this little video. Aleksey happened to be on an elephant in Thailand…”

What the video also pointed out to me was the different nationalities: British, German, Russian, American, Italian, Canadian…

Another thing I noticed: this is one of the few videos for a soundtrack where there are absolutely no clips of the film, just the cover for the CD.

And this weekend are the Oscars, and I sure hope that the soundtrack wins for best score. It should!

DVD/BluRay to be released….

According to Amazon, the movie is to be released later this month, March 30. The BluRay is where a lot of the extra features are at… bummer. I am hoping to get a digital copy so I can put it on my Creative Zen
