The Hound of the Baskervilles

Sherlock Saturday takes us back to the first (and what is widely regarded as the best) of 14 films starring Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. The most adapted of any Holmes story, The Hound of the Baskervilles takes place mostly on the moors of Devonshire which has seen the death of Sir Charles Baskerville (Ian Maclaren) and may soon see a similar fate to his heir Sir Henry Baskerville (Richard Greene). Set during the Victorian Era, the film is notable for the look and tone of the foggy moors which provide the backdrop for the dastardly plan of murder.

Upgraded

Upgraded is one of those films that makes you pity those involved in the production who will have to wear the stain of being a part of the film on the career resume like a scarlet letter until the end of time.
