WATCH OUT FOR THE LIVE TELECAST ON STUDIO 23
THIS COMING FEBRUARY 15, 2010
VISIT THE OFFICIAL SITE: http://www.cbs.com/primetime/amazing_race/
Sherlock Holmes is an interesting movie coz it's like watching old-fashioned CSI: LONDON . Since I have no clue about the erstwhile films from Ritchie, I can't possibly compare anything. After watching this robust film I think he is a talented quirky auteur.
Sherlock Holmes is a movie where puzzles and crimes play as an entertainment catalyst. I was hoping for a brokeback romance, unfortunately, I saw zilch. However, their bromance remains an enigma to me. 
But, I dunno. Sherlock is mysterious and Dr. Watson is also suspicious. Well, who knows? 
This movie is not boring at all even if some parts are loquacious and gibberish. This is also the kind of movie that needs deep cerebration and sharp eagle-eye sight. From start to finish, the energy of the film is truly alive. The big question: Is it funny? Hmmm... kinda. 
You'll just root for them. You'll pray that they are safe most of the time. And if the script isn't nearly as intelligent as it thinks it is, at least it contains a few clever twists, including Holmes' surprise answer to Blackwood's magic!
It is super shocking! . I think Richie's slo-mo fight sequences are awesome. It reminds me of 300 but Ritchie's way is sleek. The witty editing here makes the movie really puzzling til the climax and that's great. 
Oh yeah, Hans Zimmer's original score is really deserving to get future nominations and awards. I love the Celtic touch of his music! 
He has no nudity unfortunately. He he he. Rachel McAdams plays the seductive American femme fatale Irene Adler who is also Holmes’ intellectual equal. She is also watchable. Too bad we see so little of her. Mark Strong who plays the antagonist Lord Blackwood is kinda creepy.
