Sherlock (Ian McKellen), his housekeeper Mrs. Munro (Laura Linney), and the housekeeper&#8217;s little boy (Milo Parker). Whereas Poirot retired to the county to raise &#8220;tubers&#8221; this Sherlock has retired to become a beekeeper in the country. The housekeeper&#8217;s young son becomes a fan of Sherlock&#8217;s &#8211; both in the criminal and the beekeeping arenas.<\/p>\n<p>Sherlock has decided to write his own version of this last case &#8211; which took place some thirty years ago. Dr. Watson wrote about the case &#8211; unsatisfactorily &gt;&gt;&gt; anyway that&#8217;s what Sherlock thinks! Unfortunately, Sherlock is having a difficult time remembering all the details of this particular case which convinced him it was time to retire.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not going to say anything more about the plot because I strongly urge you to see the movie. I will warn you, though, that if you&#8217;re looking for car chases or lots of computer-generated action, this movie isn&#8217;t for you.<\/p>\n<p>I will tell you, though, that the acting, costumes, makeup, scenery, and ambiance are absolutely terrific.<\/p>\n<p>For more Cozy viewing ideas, click on my\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cozy-mystery.com\/tv-movies-dvds\/Cozy-Mystery-TV-and-Movies.html\"><strong>Cozy Mystery TV &amp; Movies page<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My husband and I watched the movie, &#8220;Mr. Holmes&#8221; a little while ago.
