This Week in Film History: Rocky, The Matrix, and More!
3 April 2012 2:09 PM, PDT | Cineplex | See recent Cineplex news »
First published in serial form in 1901, The Hound of Baskervilles had been adapted into a number of silent films. But it wasn’t until March 31, 1939 when 20th Century Fox released the version starring Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Doctor Watson that audiences at last got to hear the character speak.
Fox had only intended the film to be a single production, but it proved so popular that the studio began pumping out two Sherlock Holmes films a year, with Rathbone and Bruce appearing in 14 films between 1939 and 1946, as well as in a number of radio plays, “The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.” The first two films were set in Victorian England, where Holmes originated. The other films were modernized to serve as propaganda for the Allied war effort. The Hound of Baskervilles was Rathbone’s favorite of the films he would forever be linked to (and »

Elementary, my dear Joan: Lucy Liu to partner Us Sherlock
28 February 2012 3:59 AM, PST | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
The new CBS Sherlock Holmes pilot will introduce Joan Watson to the world. But is that as ridiculous as it first sounds?
John Watson has taken many forms over the years. He's been Hubert Willis. He's been Nigel Bruce. He's been Jude Law. He's been Bilbo Baggins. And now John Watson is Lucy Liu.
Kind of. Elementary – the new modern-day Sherlock Holmes pilot being produced in America by CBS – has cast Lucy Liu as Joan Watson, a struck-off surgeon who lives in Brooklyn with Sherlock and acts as his "sober companion" following his stint in rehab. Together they'll solve crimes, kick ass and – let's not kid ourselves here – probably fall in love.
Now, the easiest thing to do when presented with this news would be to slap your head in despair. Watson? A woman? What madness is this? Won't this cancel out the asexual ambiguity of Sherlock's character? Why stop there? »

TV Review: Sherlock 2.1, ‘A Scandal in Belgravia’
3 January 2012 12:42 AM, PST | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
On Sunday BBC’s ‘Sherlock’ returned to our TV screens, and while it may have been over a year since the season 1 finale, it was certainly worth the wait.
The season 2 premiere ‘A Scandal in Belgravia’ hit the ground running by quickly resolving the previous season’s cliff hanger featuring Holmes, Watson, Moriarty and a bomb, before setting our favourite consulting detective up with some new mysteries to solve. These new cases are documented by Watson’s blog and given titles that are clever nods to some of Conan Doyle’s classic tales such as ’The Speckled Blonde’, ‘The Geek Interpreter’ and ‘The Naval Treatment’. There was also a fantastic moment with Holmes donning a deerstalker cap. These little touches really enrich the show and show a great deal of respect for the source material.
The scenario with Irene Adler was very faithful to ‘A Scandal »
