Kate and I went to see Sherlock Holmes on the weekend.  It was pretty good.  While it doesn't have the visual appeal of a film like Avatar, it definitely has its moments. 

  • Robert Downey Jr.'s Holmes is rather brilliant.  He's such a good actor that I forgot that he isn't actually British. 
  • Jude Law plays an excellent straight-man to Downey's neurotic Holmes.  I read somewhere that the movie is really a love story between the male leads, and I would not disagree.
  • Rachel MacAdams was quite good as a criminal; it was nice to see her break out of the niche she had created for herself.
  • I'm kind of looking forward to a sequel; I think they've opened up an interesting storyline, and I hope it gets fleshed out.

There.  The first post for my 101 in 1001.  Ha.
