Welcome to the Film Pie! Brisbane based film critic Matt Toomey has reviewed thousands of movies since 1996. See what's out now, or browse the review archive.

Sherlock Holmes (out Dec 26) sees the famed detective try to uncover the mystery behind a villian who has returned from the dead. Robert Downey Jr is terrific in the lead and Jude Law isn't too bad either. Sadly, there's not enough suspense or humour and I think director Guy Ritchie has taken an approach which is too dark, too serious. Grade: B-.
