Robert John Downey Jr. is an Academy Award-nominated and Golden Globe-winning American actor and sometimes, musician. His breakout role was a movie called Less Than Zero, where he played a high-society yuppie burnout – the movie was a self-fulfilling prophecy. Or so it seemed for a while. He eventually cleaned up and starred on the television series Ally McBeal as well as in a number of supporting and lead film roles, including the blockbuster smash, Iron Man.
London residents hit back Thursday at British filmmaker Guy Ritchie and the celebrities that frequent his pub, with the local council slapping restrictions on their nocturnal partying. Residents of London's upmarket Mayfair neighbourhood complained that The Punch Bowl hotel had been transformed into a rowdy party venue since Ritchie, the former husband of pop star Madonna, took ownership in May 2008. Celebrities, paparazzi and crowds flocked to the pub, with residents complaining of broken... Read Full Story
What a pleasure it was to sit and watch Sherlock Holmes . No lasers, super-powers, political agendas, 3-D effects. Just a rollicking tale, well-acted and directed.
Well, OK, Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) is a super-hero of the James Bond, semi-realistic kind; except that Sherlock trades the ability to bed foreign spies for a more-developed sense of perception and steel-trap logic.
And, the scenes of Sherlock deducing stuff are as good as one could have hoped for. Sherlock... Read Full Story
Review in a Hurry: Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law are effortlessly charming as a more action-oriented Holmes and Watson than we’re used to. They belong in a better movie than the one Guy Ritchie has actually made.

I’ll admit it, I have no idea what really happens in Sherlock Holmes . It’s one of the few movies where the audience doesn’t figure everything out up front and then wait through an hour or so of filler just to see it all play out as predicted. The plot’s confusing and convoluted, but refreshingly so. Does it make sense? I don’t know, but it doesn’t matter since getting to the end of the story and the final reveal is a whole lot of fun
What’s absolutely obvious even to me, having admitted I... Read Full Story
Als ware comic-nerd was de verfilming van Iron Man een waar feestje… Dat de briljante acteur Robert Downey Jr. mede hierdoor weer helemaal “terug” was in Hollywood, was natuurlijk de spreekwoordelijke kers op de taart! Het kon natuurlijk niet uitblijven dat na een dergelijk succes er een vervolg zou komen.

This is Robert Downey Jr. entering the Ed Sullivan Theatre, about to appear on The Late Show last night. This purple scarf is doing something to my brain. RDJ looks really, really f-cking hot here. Not only that, but on the show I’m pleased to say that Downey was the most subdued he’s been in months. Of course, Downey’s “most subdued” is still pretty manic compared to most people, but RDJ seems like a really cool guy once he’s not chattering like a monkey. Anyway, it seemed like David...

Sherlock Holmes star Robert Downey Jr said he often hung out with director Guy Ritchie at his London pub during shooting.
The 44-year-old actor plays the lead role in Ritchie’s new flick and he said he often had nights out at the director’s pub, The Punchbowl, in London’s Mayfair.
He said to UK magazine Shortlist: “As a matter of fact we did [go to the pub] and it was always worth it. I don’t think I ever knew anybody that had a bar. I had buddies that owned clubs; you know what I’m saying... Read Full Story
