The Olive Opinion

  The game is afoot once again with the familiar name, Holmes. Although this time around, it is not the famous detective we all know love, dear old Sherlock. It is instead his long lost sister that no one knew about. Enola Holmes (Millie Bobby Brown) is a not the typical 16 year old girl that was brought up as proper lady but instead a... modern lady. After being taught by her eccentric mother (Helena Bonham Carter) in the fields of science, excessive reading and a bit of martial arts here and there, Enola Holmes stands as a woman ahead of her time.  This new Netflix original based on a book series that was clearly not written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one to remember. In the Holmes lore, Enola definitely will be a female inspiration to all little girls out there but there are so many female role models nowadays. Which to pick? Who's the best? Well, we don't have to pick sides. I suppose this the case because Millie Bobby Brown is here to stay in her latest feature being a...

  If you have never met me, then you have no idea of my love for musical movies or TV shows. This love for musicals I thought had started with High School Musical (just this movie that I watched when I was younger.) but it actually started way earlier. Unfortunately, I am not here to talk about musicals in general. Also, there is a reason why I decided mention HSM in this particular review.  Netflix recently released a Disney-centric 9 episode show called Julie and The Phantoms based on a Brazillian Nickelodeon show that lasted only for a season. This new guilty pleasure is excutive-produced by the one and only Kenny Ortega, director of the HSM trilogy and the Descendants trilogy, two of Disney Channel's biggest franchises.  From watching the show, you can feel the your youth being pushed out of your moody, adult persona's that you've adopted since life got hard (or at least that's what I felt when I watched the show). Apart from it being a great family show, Julie and ...

  It has been months since Mulan was supposed to be out in theaters until it was so rudely interrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic. 6 months later, Mulan is finally here. Disney's latest live action remake is also yet another anticipated release alongside Tenet. But did it live up to the expectations? Alot of mixed reviews has been circulating but honestly, the Olive Opinion is the only one that matters to me.  Mulan was good. Not bad, not great but just... good. The film yes, had countless breathtaking shots and the visuals for this movie was incredibly eye-popping but those were the only bombastic things about this movie. The script was constantly safe and I kept hoping for an awesome one-liner but was instead given only one or two inspiring speeches. Don't get me wrong, I am not exactly hating on the movie, I was just expecting more and unlike most, I kept an entirely open mind when entering the cinema.  Everybody else was very disappointed that were no musical numbers an...

  It's official EVERYONE!! Phineas and Ferb have returned along with Candace, Isabella, Perry The Platypus and many of everyone's favourite characters from the beloved Disney Channel show that was released in 2007. Gosh I feel so old. After a few years since the grand time-loop season finale, the gang has returned to go against the universe. I never would have imagined watching a much longer Phineas and Ferb movie. Across the 2nd Dimension was epic and as emotional enough but I was wrong. Candace Against The Universe managed to break the fourth wall once again.  The best part about this animated revival of one of Disney's properties was that this entire movie was centered around Candace. With the addition of how teenagers question their significance in the world, Candace realizes how small she has been feeling all summer with how her mother always never gets to see what Phineas and Ferb had built on the backyard. Only to prove her wrong, Candace gets abducted by aliens that...

  It has been months since I had step foot in a theater and now, with discipline and social distancing heavily respected, cinemas have been open for over two months but there were never any good movies that I really wanted to watch (except Peninsula but I can live with that). I have finally returned to the comforts of a cinema to watch the one and only Tenet, one of the most anticipated movies this year due to the fact that it was delayed twice because of the Covid-19 quarantine. Now, that we finally can watch movies again, Christopher Nolan's latest mind-boggling adventure is now available to be deducted and solved. Unfortunately, since Nolan's movies are so complex and such puzzle cases, I may need to watch this movie again to understand it at its fullest. For now, without giving too much away, is my review towards Tenet.  I can't say much except that Tenet is movie about manipulating time forwards and backwards and it does not have anything to do with Time Travel.
