Far cry from the hushed archives where I read the original stories (well, Arsène Lupin ones featuring Holmlock Shears), but the spectacle-like pacing kept me from fidgeting—much. If they’re remaking the Prisoner and putting the Beatles in Rock Band, why not sell Holmes and Watson as the Adam and Steve of buddy flicks? Can’t help but snicker how much their new relationship owes to House and Wilson’s, and Linda’s right, Hugh Laurie’d make a fabulous Moriarty. Unless he had to get naked, too.
