...cleverness. He's a cerebral detecting machine, able to slip in and out of disguises and make it all look "elementary." But have his steely abs ever been given their proper due? Have we remarked enough on what a cutie pie he is, especially when bantering with Dr. Watson...
...story begins with Tower Bridge in the final stages of construction - quick, where do you think the final fight sequence will take place? - and Dr. Watson (Jude Law) about to leave Holmes for a girl, Mary Morstan (Kelly Reilly). Holmes is jealous, to put it mildly, and they bicker like something out of a much lesser Judd Apatow movie. "My rooms," says Watson, referring to the Baker Street apartments they share. "Our rooms," Holmes retorts. "My dog," says Watson, referring to the corpulent white dog Ritchie cuts to for an occasional punchline. "Our dog," Holmes says tartly. They...

Both groups deplored his killing: abortion-rights activists warned that it could signal a fresh wave of clinic violence; abortion opponents warned that it would lead to the demonizing of their movement...
...felt that the cost of women experiencing "risks" like anxiety outweighed the benefits of mammogram screening for women under age 50? Despite the fact that yearly screening for this age group "unquestionably" reduced the risk of dying 15%? I am 41, and let me be the first to tell Dr. Diana Petitti - who found the public backlash "surprising" - that I find it more anxiety-provoking to know that my risk of dying from breast cancer may go up 15% if my insurance carrier decides to agree with her panel's recommendation. Beth Tobey Cholette Penfield...
