I accidentally acquired a video I'd never heard of called "The Zero
Effect" - the directorial debut of the 22-year-old son of Lawrence
Kasdan. It looked like yet another action flick, but I watched it. 
Possibly partly because I came to it with no expectations, I liked it a
lot.  You keep thinking it is about to turn into an action flick,
breaking out in gun fights and car chases, but it never does.  Instead
it's a mystery in the tradition of Sherlock Holmes (in fact, it is a
remake of Sherlock Holmes), never quite taking itself seriously, never
quite going over the edge into utter silliness.
