As someone who is a bit of a fan of Sherlock Holmes, I always get excited about any information that comes out about the upcoming movie. But then reality sets in and I remember that it is directed by Guy Ritchie.

Now don't get me wrong, I like Guy Ritche's work but he is definitely a genre filmmaker and I'm not sure if the detective from 221B Baker St. is really in his wheelhouse. The four names attached to the screenplay don't exactly make things look any better. It's from the guys who brought you: Don't Say A Word, X3, Jumper, and Revolver. And then there was a report on Twitter (yeah, I know) that the first footage was funnier than expected. I don't know what to expect. I'm sure it will be fine; I liked Lock, Stock all three times Ritchie made it but I was hoping for more from the source material.

Then I realized that there really isn't a movie that I'm dying to see this year. Terminator: Salvation looks interesting and the Star Trek trailer was great but I"m not really amped up for either of those. Shutter Island might be in the lead; Yeah Marty and Leo are IMO 1 for 3 but it's also a Dennis Lehane novel and Mystic River and Gone Baby Gone were both quality flicks. Public Enemies looks interesting but I'm just not a huge fan of Michael Mann.

Hopefully some of the smaller releases or upcoming trailers will revive my interest in movies. I know (500) Days of Summer was intriguing and I've heard good word about The Hurt Locker but we shall see.
