I thought it was good. For anyone who did not read the stories, Sherlock Holmes was a drug addict prone to depression. In the stories he did crazy experiments like those portrayed in the movies (including shooting a gun at the wall [can't remember why]). The movie did make him into an action hero, but it was faithful to his basic character. Also, the "real" Sherlock did not have an affair with Irene Adler. I highly recommend the stories to anyone who has not read them. They are published in as books, but each story is short and stands alone. Also, the TV series with Jeremy Brett is awesome. I have not seen the Basil Rathbone movies.

My 6 year old DGD is in a theater group, they did Annie at the beginning of December. The moms took all of the girls to see the movie a few weeks afterwards~the girls of course loved it and had to act their parts out as they came on screen~~I wish I could have seen that ;)

Snidely, perhaps I did not clarify my thoughts well enough. I submit that exorbitant pricing, for an inferior product, is a form of immorality. The demand for the type of entertainment created by the film industry is a very shallow form of hero worship. It is manufactured and driven by purposefully-perpetrated cultural cues from a powerful Public Relations empire. An entire era of humans shammed into commercialized hype. It is the power of peer pressure used to enrich a few - to the unconscionable cost of many. If the industry produced entertainment at a reasonable cost, then consumption of the product could be considered a fair exchange. However, aside from the type of mass marketing I described above, and the natural mechanisms relating to assimilation to the group most often felt by overly-trusting and unsophisticated youth who are too immature to have well-developed capacities for good decision making, entertainment offered by 'movies' also includes the expectations of courtship. The entertainment industry panders to, and plays on, the weaknesses of human nature. Urges meant for the up-building acculturation of a the most vulnerable are funneled into financial profit for the most unscrupulous. You appear to be a very fitting example of this unscrupulousness. Above, you recommended that I financially profit off of activities that I condemn. Sorry, but no thank you sir.

I haven’t watched either of those, but will check them out. For something similar, I can highly recommend The Making of a Murderer.
