"Sherlock Holmes: a Game of Shadows"

[tzikeh]

From The Guardian's review:

"A rousing bit of slash-fiction... Holmes as seductive best mate... It gives us anarchy as panto and global espionage in the guise of a homoerotic stag weekend."

I am not making this up.

Holmes as "seductive" anything is cracking me up.

Sometimes film reviews include shibboleths or coded dog-whistle phrases that give me a subtle hint that this movie includes Things Relevant To A Dorinda's Slashy Interests Hint Hint.

This review, bless it, instead comes over to my house and shakes me by the face. Thanks, Xan Brooks!

Nice to see someone use "like fic" as a compliment, although a not unmixed one.

From one of the comments:

...mate, you CAN'T make assertions like this and then not tell us whether the unresolved homoerotic tension (or, well, resolved homoerotic tension) in question is between Holmes and Watson (as previously) or Holmes and Moriarty, or indeed both. Damn it. Don't be such a tease.

Hee!

It is! Slashy as hell and loads of fun (although not terribly canonical).
