When a massive explosion tears a hole in a 747 over Hawaii, nine passengers strapped to their seats are sucked out of the cabin. With two engines on fire, the flight crew somehow manages to turn the crippled plane around to land in Honolulu. And though investigators immediately suspect an act of terrorism is to blame, the search for answers ultimately leads to a deadly short circuit.
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.
“People have a tendency to move on,” says Lynsey Addario. “It’s my job to get people to continue paying attention.” Love+War profiles the Pulitzer Prize–winning photojournalist as she risks her life for that mission. We follow her on several trips to Ukraine in recent years and trace her past two decades in the war zones of Afghanistan, Iraq, Sierra Leone, and Libya — where she was kidnapped by Muammar Gaddafi’s troops — among others.

本片根据威廉福克纳的原着改编。故事描述在美国南方的密州小镇,一个腐朽且死气沉沉的富户,因为一名强悍的年轻佃农闯入他的生活而引致情况发生了整个变化。本片是一部文学艺术十分浓厚的电影,导演马丁.瑞特对气氛的营造非常成功,对几位主角的性格刻画也非常深入有力,可惜结局有点泄气之感,此外,本片的剧本和原着小说有很大的出入。
