at any rate, guy ritchie's serlock holmes has suceeded in renewing my interest in a series of books i have not read since junior high school.

so a heavy-handed director with no sense of subtlety has made a film where a guy acts like he's on drugs and hits people,brilliant
it'll probably be sort of good, but likely not in the top 10,000 holmes films
