Sherlock Holmes



I caught the new Sherlock Holmes movie on Christmas.

I knew that RDJ was playing a different Holmes - one a bit rougher around the edges, a fighter, a romantic. I wasn't sure how it would work. I had friends who refused to see it because they're so attached to the original Holmes.

I'm not so attached.

And I ADORED it.

For all you Holmes fans (and even those of you who just like a good mystery!) I'd go see it. It has it's flaws, as does every movie, but it's overall a fantastic and fun film. (And hey. RDJ and Jude Law. Ow-ow!)

  2. I think I've read one of the Sherlock Holmes stories a long time ago but I've been meaning to get around to reading the complete collection. I think I'll probably watch the movie first though.

  7. Sherlock Holmes help... In Hound of the Baskervilles, what are three ways in which forensic science was applied? Alternatively, how could forensics -have- been applied and how would it have changed the story?

  8. When I first herd about it and the concept behind it, I sounded horrible. But the more I've seen, the more I'm looking forward to it. It's definitely going to be a new take on Holmes.
