Sherlock Holmes

OK, lets just get this out of the way. THIS MOVIE WILL BLOW YOUR MIND! It totally redefines what makes a great detective. Every single person in a CSI wishes they held Holmes immense logic. He is able to figure out even the most witful criminal just by, literally, looking at them. If real, he would have gone down in history as the greatest detective ever.

A man by the name of Lord Blackwood has been going around London, executing evil rituals and spreading black magic. When Holmes foils Blackwoods ritual, in which a woman was going to kill herself, and sends Blackwood to jail, he informs Holmes that there are things in which Holmes cannot control and he must “Widen your gaze, Holmes” in order to solve Blackwoods intentions. With the help of his trustful sidekick, Watson, Holmes enters a world of magic, politics, and futuristic inventions. Will Holmes survive, or will he fall into a spider’s web of trickery?

All in all, this is probably in the top 50 best movies I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen a lot of movies.
