Movie You're Watching Tonight

[Sherlock (210-2017)] Thanks for flagging that! Added to watchlist. I don’t think I’ve ever properly seen it — long overdue. Always down for a neurotic Holmes (I say that as someone who’s historically felt none of the adaptations pay sufficient attention to the cocaine addiction, but I guess one can’t have everything. Never liked the Downey Jr. stuff much, though it tried to honour that).

The Basil Rathbone series is charming (and at times disarmingly so). I’m watching it out of order whenever I’m down for something old-fashioned and reliable — expect to get back to it tomorrow.

This was pretty good.

Thanks for the tip — that’ll be my next stop then.

I think you'll like the series. My description of Cumberbatch portraying Holmes as "neurotic" is really not the right word, but his Holmes is very eccentric.

Also Martin Freeman plays a very intelligent sidekick to Holmes --more as he was portrayed in the novels-- in contrast to Nigel Bruce's rather dim bulb portrayal.

Need to catch up on what’s playing in theatres, so I guess I’ll have to do it. Not my thing at all, but ah well.

This is not bad. Probably a scandalous claim, but I still preferred ‘Yellowjackets’, though.

The reviews have been very very positive about Elordi.

I badly wanted to like Yellowjackets, but I got confused by the many characters. Need to try it again.
