    Re: Kilts in new Sherlock Holmes

    I'm a bit of a fan myself.

    I stayed up watching a recording of Hound of the Baskervilles into the small hours of this morning, and I have various editions of the Casebooks and novels, even a facsimile of the originals from The Strand magazine - I was wondering what the new film was like.

    I might find the time to go to the cinema to see it, if all goes to plan.

    Action packed, fast paced, funny, witty. A bit of a free take on the writings, but well done. To me, Mycroft and Moriarity stole the movie, my favorite scene as a Sherlockian is the "Chess match" . This movie is worth your time.

    I also have various editions as well as a facsimile of the originals from The Strand. It's been one of my great pleasures in life to introduce various members of my family to the Canon (wife, sister, niece & nephews), and watch their love of the great detective grow over time. Just last month my 12 year old daughter came to me and asked if I had a book of Holmes stories that she could borrow. It gave me great joy to reach over to my collection and hand her the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. The torch is being passed.
