As I've been watching a few Buster Keaton silent movies recently, when the narrator speaks about the downfall of Keaton they show clips from his large array of films that he made which I thought was a good link. (as if it's just occurred) Now a whole new generation appreciate his silent films as much if not more than his contemporaries of the time.

It was unfortunate that he never had the last word whilst making movies at MGM, we'll never know if he had, that the continuation of his career would have been more remarkable.

But we are fortunate today that we get to see his early work as the majority of it is wonderful and worthy of the praise he's received.

This is a bit of a heartbreaking story that shows the worst side of abuse. I've seen other stories of trafficking and the only people who ever seem to win are the traffickers themselves. Playing on other peoples misery, is a heinous crime. The victims never know when they are going to be released, are so afraid, either straight away or broken down or even worse, murdered, do as they're instructed because they want to live and hope that someone will save them, which is rarely the case.

This sort of thing has been going on for decades and this diplomatic immunity has a lot to answer for and the traffickers need to be stopped.

This is a bit of a pot boiler. 135 minutes of the great detective.

If you like slow and not so interesting episodes of the 80s tv version of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Holmes then you're in for a treat.

I didn't find it awful. Just dull and slow.

Holmes is there to disprove the existence of vampirism, not sure whether he does or doesn't convince the village that they are wrong (Watson went with him as usual) but you do wander if this will increase the tension, assuming you haven't fallen asleep, it doesn't. If you hold on to the end and you enjoy what you see, you are a fan of the tv series..
