Great interpretation of Sherlock Holmes

This is a great interpretation of Sherlock Holmes. It includes some of the things in the books, such as Sherlock's penchant for boxing (although it misses fencing), and the fact that Watson was not the bumbling sidekick depected in the Basil Rathbone/Nigel Bruce versions, but someone Sherlock depended on. If you like the books, you will definitely like this movie. If you like this movie, definitely check out the books! Robert Downey Jr is great as Sherlock, and the chemistry between him and Jude Law as Watson is perfect as two men with a close bond and how they deal with new life experiences while still keeping their bond strong. A definite must see for women & men alike. I'm looking forward to the sequel they set up at the end.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Could be better.

A Christmas Carol is a favorite of the season. And every generation needs their movie of it, but this could have been so much better. The graphics are good, but the final Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come was so over the top as to be irritating. Too much emphasis was put on the 3D effect. Much of the scene became extraneous and a waste of film time. Other than this it was pretty good. I'd definitely recommend it as the "family Christmas movie" this year. But I won't buy it on DVD.
If you can find the DVD, the best version is still the 1951 Alastair Sim version titled originally "Scrooge", but in some DVD versions titled " A Christmas Carol". Spend your DVD money on this version.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
