MORE ELEMENTARY DEAR WATSON...

A press release has stated that the shoot for "Sherlock Holmes" is going ahead smoothly and on schedule. One can't help wondering then why the studios have insisted that Mr Ritchie go back and include an entirely new story-line involving Moriaty, Holmes' nemesis and eventual destructor. Why this story line wasn't in the original is anyones guess but you don't have to be Baker Streets finest to deduce that the film was seen to be flimsy without it. There is also a worrying rumor on the streets of London that at short notice non other than Brad Pitt has stepped up to play the nefarious baddie... What were they thinking?
