Yes, that’s me. I saw Sherlock Holmes tonight and it was incredibly entertaining, well written, well directed, and well acted. The bromantic chemistry between Jude Law and Robert Downey, Jr. felt genuine, and the Asberger’s-type take on Holmes’ genius and quirks really worked.

I beat it last night, with the help of a good friend. The burning question: how awesome is it? Well, I’m starting to hallucinate from lack of sleep and my hands are cramped worse than arthritic old lady’s. That should answer your question. The short review: Factor Note Verdict Graphics

The movie’s been out since Wednesday at 12:01 a.m., so I’m not waiting any more to talk about it. If you haven’t seen it yet, tough luck Chuck.
