Sherlock Holmes pumps some iron and becomes an outlaw... it was brilliant.

Out of all the character's that have ever been created, Sherlock Holmes is one of the last that you would expect to be a clever snob who plays by his own rules and beats criminals to a pulp with his bare hands (and sometimes nightsticks). When I first heard about Holmes becoming a Jack Sparrow-like character being portrayed by Iron Man himself, I was a little scepticle. But I was interested enough to see it. And I'm extremely happy that I did. Sherlock Holmeswas easily one of the best movies I've seen this year. Don't get fooled by the Indiana Jones-esque approach, Holmesis actually a better character now than he was before. I might take some heat for this, but Robert Downey Jr. was every bit better than Basil Rathbone as Holmes. He was the perfect choice to play this new take on the character. The movie was really original actually. It used a lot of things that other movies don't use. For example, whenever Holmes is about to give a fatal attack, it goes through his thought process and shows what he's thinking in slow motion. A few seconds later, he does exactly what he pictured. A couple of things in the movie were a little bizarre, but besides that, it did everything right. Jude Law was great as Watson, making him more of a combat assistant to Holmes than intellectual support. The setting really does make you think of 19th century London. It captures a lot of aspects of the time period. Overall, Sherlock Holmes was a thrill ride that no one should miss.

8.5/10

I love Christmas. And one of my favorite parts of the holiday season is watching Christmas specials. Whether it's a 30 minute cartoon or a full length movie, Christmas specials are the heart and soul of the holiday season (Not really, I just had to make it catchy.)

10. A Colbert Christmas

9. Santa Claus Is Coming To Town

8. A Wish For Wings That Work

7. It's A Wonderful Life

6. Olive The Other Reindeer

5. Elf

4. A Christmas Carol

3. A Charlie Brown Christmas

2. How The Grinch Stole Christmas

1. A Christmas Story

Hope you enjoyed the list! And I hope that you'll watch the ones that you haven't seen within the next two days.

Merry Christmas from Blaze
