I'm led to understand that New Year's Day will usher in your own birthday! Hoping it's a good one for you, and merely the latest of many happy returns of the day as well!

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows
In which I discuss my opinion of the film.
Certainly, it was worth about ten dollars and over two hours of my life. I was moved to anger, to laughter, to shock. Pretty much as the cast and crew intended me. As an expansion upon the plot of "The Final Problem", I can accept it with thanks.
Thus, only one regret over the whole experience.
That regret is tied to one most particular scene in the story, involving Prof. Moriarty and...one other character. It was prepared and performed well enough...but perhaps it is that I am indeed too much a creature of the 20th and 21st centuries to accept it as presented. I wish that we'd had something very different for that other character.
Sidebar Note added on New Year's Eve 2011: I guess this counts as my last "movie watched at a cinema house" of 2011.
