Sherlock VS Sherlock

According to Guinness World Records, Sherlock Holmes is the most portrayed literary character in film coming in at 238 films played by over 30 actors as of May 2011. Well, this is January 2012 so we can add at least one more movie and another season of the BBC series.

Out at the Movies: "Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows"

This weekend was a good one for action movie fans. Two big-budget flicks came out; “Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol” and “Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows”. Their titles both evoke a feeling of ethereal mystery and they are definitely both in the cloak-and-dagger genre, but they are very different movies!


A bunch of us went to see Sherlock on Saturday afternoon. In case you’ve been living under a rock for the last few years, this is the second in the Guy Ritchie reboot of the classic Sir Arthur Conan Doyle series about the brooding British detective. (Not to be confused with the BBC Sherlock reboot, which is also awesome, but in a different way.)
