I love the mysteries and the pastiches, but have no desire to take up the violin or smoke shag.<br /><br />Now Jeremy Brett and that production of the entire series is my all-time favorite. That's what my mind happily supplies while reading. But I have to admit, I don't think they've tried an action-oriented Holmes movie since <I>Young Sherlock Holmes</I>. And that was a pretty awesome ride. Guy Ritchie is no Steven Spielberg, but he's got a good cast and if the script writer didn't throw in something stupid, I'm perfectly happy to enjoy it.<br /><br />And it has to be something REALLY stupid. I adore <I>Without a Clue</I> after all. Oh, like <I>Shanghai Knights</I>, which was perfectly enjoyable for me up until they put Arthur Doyle in Scotland Yard. I bitched the whole ride home, once the movie said "oh yeah this is the guy who wrote Sherlock Holmes." Had they just left that out, I would have been happy instead of shouting during the credits "Doyle was a doctor and he never worked for Scotland Yard!"KLCtheBookWormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09876210628556682373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936801.post-92149730994639015102009-05-20T18:06:42.333-05:002009-05-20T18:06:42.333-05:00Holmes has never excited me, but I'll wait and see...Holmes has never excited me, but I'll wait and see.
