I tried to go to the Sherlock Holmes movie at Brewvies again last night (a week after my work friend and I got to see five minutes of it before the film broke) and, as you might guess from the title of this, no deal. When I had checked the schedule online Monday night there was an 8:00 showing, but when we got to the theater it had been pushed back to 9:30 to accommodate a special event for Engineers Without Borders.
Dammit, Brewvies, as much as I want to continue liking you, you’re making it really difficult. You should probably consider hiring projectionists who aren’t so stoned they put the film in wrong. Perhaps updating your website a little sooner than the day of an event would be a good idea, too. (And universe, I know the film is in no way faithful to the Conan Doyle stories, but I really like Robert Downey, Jr. And now this has become a challenge.)

FWIW, I thought it was an enjoyable adventure-mystery story, with some great chemistry between the leads (Downey and Jude Law). I’m no Holmes expert, but I’ve read a few of the stories, and I saw nothing in this interpretation that glaringly contradicted what I remember of them…

After all this, I hope it’s not terrible when I DO finally see it!

Oh man. How frustrating. I have yet to see that movie.
