During a weekend that saw most of the eastern cities walloped by megastorm Jonas and Tom Brady get walloped by the Denver D-Line, I managed to find one pleasant highlight by ordering the movie 'Mr. Holmes' from my Metrocast VOD service.

Ian McKellan's portrayal of a 93 year old Sherlock Holmes is remarkable and Laura Linney was predictably excellent. I don't want to give away anymore details as I truly enjoyed this film without knowing a thing about it before I ordered it.

There was no mystery as far as ordering it was concerned, just a few quick clicks on my remote control and the High Def images of the beautiful English countryside were on my TV screen in an instant. I could pause it whenever I wanted and rewind it when I thought I saw a possible case cracking clue. Thanks MetroCast Videos On Demand!
