Right, firstly, Happy Christmas from all of us at Team Movies on Radio 1. Here's James King celebrating.

It might be Christmas, but there are still movies being released, both of these are out on Boxing Day.

Sherlock Holmes
A kick-ass reboot of the Sherlock legend, with an hilarious/actually-quite-tough central performance from Robert Downey Jnr. Guy Ritchie directs with a less showy style than before (a good thing) and Jude Law is fun as sidekick Dr Watson (a surprising thing). A great, old-skool, detective caper that's less irritating than anyone could have ever predicted.
4 stars.

Nowhere Boy
Watch out for this fella Aaron Johnson. He's gonna be huge. Here he's playing a teenage John Lennon, chronicling the Beatles legend's troubled relationship with his mum and auntie when growing up. He's awesome. It's pretty awesome. Worth seeing.
4 stars.

Have a great holiday and New Year. More movie chatter in 2010!
