I realize there are some of you that still have not seen Law Abiding Citizen in the theater. I must say that experiencing this movie on a large screen with surround sound is important. So, unless you have a 60 inch with Bose surround sound in your living room, I suggest you take the last opportunity you will have and watch this movie at Picture Show at Superstition Springs Mall.
For $2 per person you can enjoy the movie in the format it was created for. Cheap seats, cheap snacks, and a great movie...how can you beat that!?!
Now, if you are having trouble getting away from the kids to catch this movie...might I suggest going to "Date Night" at Living Word Bible Church in Mesa, AZ. When you attend Saturday service from 5pm-6pm they will keep and feed your kids while you go out on a date! FOR FREE!!
Now that I have taken away all of your excuses, GO SEE THIS MOVIE!

Sherlock Holmes
Robert Downey Jr. was PERFECTLY cast for this role. Much like Johnny Depp was able to own the role of Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean perfectly. This movie had some interesting cinematic elements to it...with jumping ahead briefly and flashing back a couple of times. But it was not extreme to the point of creating confusion.
Parts of the movie had us laughing out loud while other scenes had me at the edge of my seat (I think I even jumped at one part). The action was great. The story was a bit unrealistic, but it was interesting enough to pull me in and lead me through to the end. All the loose ends were tied up neatly at the end in a very entertaining and "Sherlock Holmes" way. The ONLY thing that was missing from this movie was his giant magnifying glass!
If there were a down side it would be that there is a lot of exploration of black magic through his investigation. Some people may find that disturbing, however, it was not glorified in any way and the end cleared many things up...but I won't spoil it for you!
No bad language and no real nudity outweighed the concern I would have had anyway.
My opinion: GO SEE THIS MOVIE!
