Movie review. First in a long time. I'd been really looking forward to seeing this. ๐
Better Man with Robbie Williams. ๐ต
I'm tired, in pain, emotional, so of course I cried the whole way through.
As good as 8 Mile but an English movie which is great because Robbie is English.

Sherlock Holmes Faces Death with Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce. 68 minutes
I watched this to see how they could make such a short movie, sans titles and credits story would be 64 min
in that time they introduced so many characters, made a story, made a mystery, made danger, and resolved it all.
It was like watching a whole series of short stories, stories where all we get is the "middle bit", no start, no end. Through skillful writing we are led to figure all the starts and ends of scenes ourselves.
