Sherlock: Series 1 (review)
The second series of Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss’s brilliant, brilliant Sherlock is about to start tomorrow, and so my hand is forced: I must finally write about the first series…
Benedict Cumberbatch
Sherlock returns!
New Year’s Day, BBC One. Not till — ahem — May in the U.S.
Michael Fassbender and Benedict Cumberbatch at BIFA last night
Not that I’m suggesting someone should write some British actor slash fanfic or anything…
Wreckers (trailer)
Dark and creepy, and stars Benedict Cumberbatch. Pretty much all I need to know.
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy movie review: let the spy one in
Why does no one ever intone at me and tell me to go to Budapest and wear polyester and smoke cigarettes and get all espionagey, dammit?
The Whistleblower (trailer)
Looks good! Looks mainstream! So why isn’t it getting a major release?
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (teaser trailer)
Holy mole-y! It’s a geek girl’s dream cast.
question of the day: Can two actors play best friends in one story and enemies in another without driving fans of both projects crazy?
You know, like how Martin Freeman and Benedict Cumberbatch are swapping sides as they move between Sherlock and The Hobbit…
trailer break: ‘Third Star’
Here’s a treat for Benedict Cumberbatch fans: He’s dying of cancer here, and you know that means “sensitive tour de force performance to make you fall in love with him all over again.” Enjoy!
trailer break: Danny Boyle’s ‘Frankenstein’ at London’s National Theatre
It’s theater, but it’s cinema, too…
