'Sherlock Holmes'

Release Date: Dec .25
In a Nutshell: Eccentric Detective Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) and his colleague Dr. Watson (Jude Law) return with a lot more action and explosions thanks to director Guy Ritchie. This time the clue-busters must avert the end of the world as they know it while battling Holmes’s nemesis Lord Blackwood (Mark Strong), who has apparently risen from the dead. How inconvenient!
Rated: Yet to be rated.
For You: Definitely! We'd follow Downey anywhere, although this looks more like Wild Wild West than Sherlock.
For Kids: They must be old enough to follow the plot -- probably 13+.
