Sherlock Holmes is headed back to the silver screen. Yes, we know all about the upcoming BBC Christmas special starring the dashing Benedict Cumberbatch â but that's not what we're talking about.

Ian McKellen plays Holmes at age 93, struggling with memory loss to recover the details surrounding his final case. The film focuses more on character than crime capers, but, if the early reviews mean anything, it's well worth a watch.
