Being Elmo: A Puppeteer's Journey
V: Only I watched this, during laundry folding duties. This is a little documentary about Kevin Clash the puppeteer and creator of Elmo. I really enjoyed it. I just love when someone has an interest, sometimes a really specific interest, and pursues it wholeheartedly, and succeeds. (The succeeding part is a nice bonus.) I found Kevin to be likable and his story interesting and inspiring. I even got a little teary here and there. 3 stars

Sherlock
V: All we have so far are three movie-length episodes. It is Sherlock Holmes (going by the name of Sherlock Holmes) with his friend John Watson, but set in modern-day London. Interesting and well-done! We also get to meet Moriarti at the end of the third episode - who is sufficiently creepy/effeminate. Good sleuthing fun. 3 1/2 stars.
M. Fantastic. Each season is only three episodes, but each episode is essentially a short movie. In both seasons, the first episode is great, the second is not as good, and the third will blow you away. You can almost skip the second episodes, I don't know why. But, the third episodes are truly aw some, and, for my money, the third episode of the second season may be the best thing I have seen on television. This is an absolute must see. 4 stars.
The Artist
V. Great characters. Really really good. Fun to watch. Lot's of fun moments. 4 stars.
M. Loved it. Amazing. Definite best picture and best actor. I also loved the actress. 4 stars.

Hugo
V. Artistic and pretty good. 3 stars.
M. So disappointing. I get it, old movies are awesome and should be preserved. I would prefer that they made an actual awesome movie. 2 1/2 stars.
