Robert John Downey Jr. is an Academy Award-nominated and Golden Globe-winning American actor and sometimes, musician. His breakout role was a movie called Less Than Zero, where he played a high-society yuppie burnout – the movie was a self-fulfilling prophecy. Or so it seemed for a while. He eventually cleaned up and starred on the television series Ally McBeal as well as in a number of supporting and lead film roles, including the blockbuster smash, Iron Man.

Robert Downey Jr. has suggested that Sherlock Holmes might be a "very butch homosexual" and that he and his trusty sidekick might be "closer than just out solving crimes." I'm certainly no Holmesian scholar, but it seems to me that anytime a male protagonist has a male sidekick and they live together while bantering like an old married couple ... well, it's about as shocking as finding out that Bert and Ernie are more than just fishing buddies...

When the first trailer for the newest addition to the “Sherlock Holmes” franchise hit the Internet last spring, most audiences received it with curious anticipation and general enthusiasm. The sight of a chiseled, shirtless Robert Downey, Jr. using honed martial arts skills to beat up a heavyset opponent , however, came as a frustrating shock to many Holmes purists who still equate the legendary supersleuth with South African-born actor Basil...

Film 'Sherlock Holmes' Guy Ritchie's triumphant return to not-sucking-quite-so-egregiously reimagines Sherlock Holmes as a slovenly, brutal, drunken superhero whose superpower is noticing stuff and knowing how to punch real good. It's a fucking great time. The film has all of Ritchie's usual slick, gimmicky visuals, but would be nothing without Robert Downey Jr., who I would happily watch dozing in line at the...

If you're a fan of Robert Downey Jr. or Jude Law, you'll probably enjoy “Sherlock Holmes.” If you reveled in Sean Connery's James Bond, George Clooney's “Ocean's Eleven” or any of the action “Buddy” films of the 1980s (such as “Lethal Weapon”), you'll probably love “Sherlock Holmes.” If, however, you enjoyed reading about the Sherlock Holmes created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, you will probably be unable to sit through Guy Ritchie's horrendous...
