  • Sherlock Holmes in The Case of the Dull Episode Titles

  • Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows

    Movie Review | Matt | 13th December 2011

    Once again, Guy Ritchie delves into Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's lesser-known casebook of Sherlock Holmes – the one filed under 'improbably explosive' (subfolder: homoeroticism) – and pulls together a sequel that, by the law of the blockbuster, is destined to be a lazy rehash of the first film.

    Movie Review | Kirsty | 4th January 2010

    Sherlock Holmes is one of Britain's most enduring literary figures, thanks in no small part to previous adaptations of Arthur Conan Doyle's books on the big and small screens.

  • No to gay Holmes sequel

  • Sherlock Holmes widens his gays

    Movie Trailer | Ali | 20th October 2009
