Merry Christmas everyone! We hope you all have a joyous and pleasant holiday! In case you’re looking for a movie to take your family to or possibly a movie to avoid your family with, here are your picks for this weekend… To start off we have Sherlock Holmes, starring Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law, and Rachel McAdams! Guy Ritchie‘s take on Sir Arthur Conan Boyle’s classic detective tales looks like it should be at the very least entertaining.
