Don’t worry, we’re still around here at the whodunnit blog - we’ve just been working
on a mystery the likes of which you won’t believe! So check back soon!

Currently in the works and slated for a 2009 release, the Sherlock Holmes movie is being filmed by Guy Ritchie (recent divorcee from pop superstar Madonna). This film adaptation is based closely on the novels of the same name, and stars Robert Downey Jr. as Sherlock Holmes himself. Dr. John Watkins will be played by Jude Law, and there are several other big names that will be making appearances in this movie, as well. Stay on the lookout for this highly anticipated film in 2009; it’s definitely going to be one you don’t want to miss. And you’ll be able to read a full review on the film once it has been released right here on the whodunnit blog.

It isn’t until the next day when you see the morning news that you figure out exactly what happened. It seems the player who tackled Watkins was the assassin – according to the news reports, the rival player for the Detroit Lions was carrying a gun in the waist band of his uniform pants and as soon as he had the chance, he fired a single shot directly into the heart of Watkins at point blank range, killing him instantly. The assassin then quickly took off his helmet and ran off the field. He was caught before leaving Lambeau Field, however, and is now in police custody.

THE END

With a police officer knocking at the driver’s side window, your father simply isn’t able to keep up his front any longer – at least not if he doesn’t want to seem suspicious to the officer. He explains the officer everything, including how scared and panicked he was. The officer heads back to his cruiser with all of your father’s information (driver’s license, insurance and registration), and after nearly half an hour sitting on the side of the road, the officer finally comes back with the documentation and lets you all go. Needless to say, it is a very long and quiet ride home.

Finally you make it to the car – your father quickly unlocks all of the doors and you all jump in. He starts the car and puts into drive as fast as possible, squealing the tires on the family car as he pulls off leaving a trail of smoke. A police officer makes an attempt to wave your father down and stop the car, but he just floors the gas pedal and speeds out of the parking lot; he’s obviously just as scared as anybody else is, though he of course maintains a strong front in front of you and your mother. As expected, however, the cops quickly pull over the family car.

A long fifteen minutes passes of fans screaming and people pushing their way past you in fear – eventually however, you reach the exit and hurry into the parking lot.

The parking lot is a chaotic scene as well, however, filled with police cars, ambulances and of course, more panicked fans. Hastily you all make your way to the family car; unsure however if you will even be able to even leave the stadium’s parking lot once you do find it. There happens to be a lot of cars that resemble your fathers – but eventually your mom spots it in the distance.

Panic-stricken fans run throughout the stands and the corridors of Lambeau Field, trying to reach the exit. Police men and security guards are trying to keep the peace, while at the same time trying to get to the bottom of what exactly just happened. At the same time your father is trying to calm and comfort your mother and try to make sure you stay safe as well. Battling to reach one of the stadium exits, your family takes it place behind a mob of people, waiting as calmly as possible for a chance to get out of the exit as soon as possible.

As your father runs up the stairs, you look back and notice the tall, skinny man with long black hair, dressed in a long trench coat from before – he doesn’t seem to be panic-stricken at all; in fact, he is still peering through his binoculars, and still checking out the game from his seat. In the midst of all this chaos, he hasn’t even budged an inch.

By now you hear the announcement over the loudspeaker, informing everybody that there is an armed shooter in the stadium, and the voice urges the crowd to remain calm. This of course, doesn’t go over so well with the crowd.

In 1999, the full-length, real life film Inspector Gadget was released in an homage to the popular cartoon series of the 1980’s. And while the film’s success was limited, Inspector Gadget 2 was released in the year 2003. Both films are obviously meant for children with their G rating, and they do a great job of catering to the younger crowd, and bringing back the original feel of the cartoon. For adults who are looking to relive our past however, Inspector Gadget 1 & 2 definitely disappoints. If you have children, you’ve probably already seen the movies – if not, they’re at least worth a rental. If you don’t have any children though, I say don’t even waste your time or money – there is plenty of nostalgic value to be found in other movies out there.

Both O.J. Simpson and his cohort, C.J. Stewart were found guilty on all 12 counts against them on Friday, for their roles in a Las Vegas hotel hold-up where they attempted to get some of Simpson’s personal sports memorabilia. Both men have been sentenced to 15 – 30 years in prison, and neither will even be eligible for parole until they have served at least 7 of those years. Simpson was found innocent in the murder trial of Nicole Brown-Simpson several years ago, and some people believe that justice has finally been served – though it has indeed been a long time coming.
