Review of Sherlock Jr. (1924) by Matt K — 08 Dec 2007
"Sherlock, Jr.", on the other hand, is not only hilarious but brilliant filmmaking. The scene where Buster gets trapped inside a movie showing at the theater is technically amazing and shows that Keaton had a wonderful grasp on the magic of what film can do.
Beyond that, the various comedy bits are still funny after all this time, and Keaton's sense of timing is physically breathtaking. This would be a great introduction to anyone not familiar with how wonderful (and funny) silent comedies can be.
