Movie: Sherlock Holmes for the holiday!


Oh! My long-waited Christmas blockbuster!! Sherlock Holmes is ON!!! With the handsome Jude Law, who has the exact surname as mine, and the manly Robert Downey Junior, whom has become one of my favourite actors since I watched (an wrote about) Tropic Thunder.

I shouldn't talk too much about this movie because you shouldn't know any more than it is an action-packed, mysterious, extraordinarily witty, multi-climaxed, "bullet-train"-paced thrilling film!

Don't even watch the movie trailer!!! (I don't post it here either!) You will lose some of the fun when you watch the movie! Trust me! You won't regret it!

Here's the movie script if you want to learn the words from the movie.
