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.

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.

This is the official 100^th post here at the whodunnit blog, and I would just like to thank all of the loyal readers and fans of the site.

The original Inspector Gadget was an animated television series that run from 1983-1986, and aired on Nickelodeon. Voiced by Don Adams, who also played the bumbling detective Maxwell Smart in the original television series “Get Smart”, this animated, extremely error-prone detective closely resembles the private investigator that Adams played on the show, and even has a lot of quirky gadgets that bear some resemblance to “Get Smart”, as well.

Inspector Gadget is a beloved cartoon show that bring many of us back to our childhood – and of course, there were even a couple of movies made not too long ago that featured Inspector Gadget in real life; though these films were only moderately successful when compared to the franchise as a whole.

Well folks, I know we’re just kind of getting things heated up in our third case file here on the whodunnit blog, however we, just like everyone else, has to take the time to celebrate Thanksgiving Day. It’s definitely one of my favorite holidays, and perhaps even the best one of them all.  All of the food just makes it so great! So hopefully you have some good friends and family to spend this Holiday with, and I hope everybody out there is enjoying some delicious turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie and a whole lot more to celebrate their Thanksgiving Day of 2008!

This is a true life documentary crime series on the A&E Network, and is hosted by Bill Kurtis, and it is the longest running documentary justice show on Cable Television to date. Starting on September 15 of 1992, there have been over 250 episodes of the popular show that have covered such real life crime cases such as the Hillside Stranglers, the murder of Selena, the story of Waco, Texas, Lorena Bobbit, and many, many more news headline stories.

They have been known to interview witnesses, police and other key figures that are directly related to the specific crime, and because of this they can provide extremely accurate event re-creations.
