狄仁杰之彼岸奇花

　　Sir Charles Baskerville dies at the entrance of his manor, and Doctor Mortimer says he died of natural causes. However, when telling Sherlock Holmes of the case, he feels Sir Charles' death was a result of a centuries old curse that runs in the Baskerville family, which Dr. Mortimer feels will strike at Sir Charles nephew, Sir Henry, who is arriving to claim the Baskerville estate. Holmes sends Dr. Watson in his place, along with Dr. Mortimer and Sir Henry, to the manor and for Watson to keep an eye out for any suspicious actions. Immediately after arriving, Watson notices the queer occurrences at the estate and surrounding moors, and sends Holmes reports of what is going on concerning the life of Sir Henry. Will Holmes arrive in time to unravel the mystery, and who is responsible for Sir Charles' death and the attempted murder of Sir Henry? Is it Dr. Mortimer, neighbor Stapleton, butler Barryman, harmless old Frankland, a mysterious wild man, or is there a curse on the Baskerville family? Very good opening entry in the Rathbone-Bruce Holmes series (even though this film lacks qualities of any ongoing entries.) The film could have been a bit more darker and foreboding (the film does have a movie studio set feel) and have an ending with a little more confrontation to it, but it does provide for much fun. The romantic scenes with Greene and Barrie have little spark, but there are very good red herring performances by the cast, which is a plus for this movie. Rating, 8.

　　上个世纪70年代，杜兰是拳击界最可怕的人物。野性的眼神、黑色的头发、凶恶的战斗作风，使得杜兰在轻量级比赛中是个让对方感到恐怖的人物。从1972 年到1979年，杜兰在拳坛上势不可挡。他在至少三个级别的比赛中获得过冠军。这位巴拿马拳手是世界上唯一一位跨越五个不同十年还在战斗的拳手。杜兰2002年退休时已经51岁了。本片围绕杜兰与另外一位著名拳手舒格·雷·伦纳德（Sugar Ray Leonard）的一场传奇之战展开。1980年11月25日，这两位拳手在路易斯安那州第二次相逢，而在此7个月前两人的第一次比赛中，杜兰险胜伦纳德，尽管那场比赛很悬，但是场外裁判一致判定杜兰胜出。在第二场对峙中，本来结局会大不一样，但是杜兰在第八轮比赛中队裁判说出“放弃”，让伦纳德获得了本场比赛的胜利。从此，杜兰在本土成为最不受欢迎的拳手，此后他花了很多年时间来重建自己的声誉。
