Holy Shit, Sherlock

By: Rick Mosely

Hey everybody, look what’s on the Internet! It’s the new trailer for Guy Ritchie’s “Sherlock Holmes”:

That’s something, alright. I always said, if there was one thing that the classic Arthur Conan Doyle stories of detection needed, it was some crazy Monday-to-Friday explosions destroying most of Victorian London. If there was two things, it would be the booms followed by funny one-line quips to lighten up the situation. If there was three things, it would be the booms, the one-liners, and some kind of noir femme fetale to cause sexual tension while simultaneously acting as a foil to our heroes. If there was four things, it would be all of that and some slow motion boxing.

So, yeah. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are now in a buddy cop movie. Hooray?
