Two Sherlock Holmes articles up today!

Fantasy Magazine has the review proper (beware minor spoilers, though the plot is so terrible that spoilers can only help).

The, at Tor.com, I talk about some other, better Sherlock Holmeses. RDJ actually makes the Best Of list, mostly because he’s such an intense actor that he gives his all even when the movie makes no sense. Also on that list is Rupert Everett, back when he was a good actor and hadn’t yet gone off the handle and gotten more Botox than Joan Rivers. (Oh, RUPERT.) Luckily, he is immortalized in The Case of the Silk Stocking, amidst Awesome British Actor Camp vets, doing a lovely job.

Sadly, that’s not so with Christopher Lee, who remains one of the worst Sherlocks I’ve ever seen in my LIFE. I love that guy so much, but I do not know why he didn’t cut and run when he saw that he was going up against MORGAN FAIRCHILD, oh my GOD.

I’ve gotten some recap requests, so in the next few days I’ll be running down the two recent BBC adaptations with their one-off Sherlocks, and possibly the Livanov version of Hound of the Baskervilles, in which Sherlock Holmes is cooler than you, even if you are also Sherlock Holmes.
