My opinion:
My opinion of the pilot episode of Sherlock is that it is a great re-imagining of the Sherlock series and the actors seemed to fit their character roles and made it a watchable TV show and I enjoyed the way the way that the characters were portrayed and the pacing of episode was different from any TV show currently on.

western genre question

The main conventions of the western genre include the final where the main protagonist and main antagonists duel at the very end of the film examples of this can be seen in: “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly” and “A fist full of dollars”.

Another convention in western films are outlaws either the main protagonist is an outlaw who changes his ways or the main antagonist is an outlaw seeking revenge on the main protagonist an example of this can be found in “The Assassination of Jesse James”

Another convention of the western genre is that either gold or treasure is often the main focus of the film, an example of this can be found in “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly”

Knick Knack 1989 review

Knick Knack 1989 review:
Plot:
Knick Knack is a short film made by Pixar studios and is the story of snow man in a snow globe who wants to break free of his “prison” and join the other characters and a “beach babe” through many unsuccessful attempts he thinks he has found a way out of his snow globe by sending it over the edge of his desk which falls and he finds exit on the bottom of his snow globe and leaves through it and he lands in a fish bowl and he’s very disappointed with himself after he looks around he finds a mermaid with him in the fish bowl.

Opinion:
My opinion of Knick Knack is that it was way ahead of its time in terms of animation, I thought it was clever to have no voice actors in the short film and it gave the characters more of a personality as the characters had to describe what they were doing without talking, and the music went well with story and what was going on with the characters, but at the same time it mocked the snowman as the same time but overall I found the short film very enjoyable and fun to watch and I would watch again.
