No Slit Sherlock

Last night Fig and Fee had our kids over to stay so we had the whole evening to ourselves. It felt strange to talk in complete, uninterrupted sentences and we quickly came to miss the kids. We went out for a pizza together but, since there was nothing at the movies that we were interested in, so we hired a new-release DVD instead.

We went with Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes, because it looked like it might be dumb fun. We’d heard some ordinary reports of this movie, but for $2 it seemed worth a try.

Happily, this movie was good, dumb fun. It’s perhaps a little overly reliant on special effects. The performances, however, are charming in spots and it was amusing and entertaining in its own way.

I don’t know that I’d recommend that anyone rush out the watch this, but you could do worse on a slow winter evening.
