Enola Holmes

-

 


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 anything but a moody-telekinetic teenager. 

Other than the fact she is a credited producer for the film, but she undeniably is the perfect actress to play a sibling of the greatest detective in literary history and I honestly do not see anyone else taking her place. Sherlock may have been adapted one too many times, but seeing Henry Cavill widening his cape from being the Man of Steel, then the Witcher and now Sherlock Holmes makes him possibly the next Tom Hardy (unfortunately, no one is as chameleon-like when it comes acting than Tom Hardy, no doubt). 

The film definitely felt like a Holmes tale with the mystery, the humor, the banter between the siblings and the most important ingredient of them all when telling a great detective tale is the plot twist. The film definitely does it well when the film only reveals the real mystery that we are supposed to be focusing on because confusingly enough, there are 2. One was well... teased in the trailer and the other, is the one is kept safely for audiences to find out until they actually watch the movie. 

Sherlock fans, this is for you. Enola Holmes is as fun and witty as most Sherlock Holmes adaptations in the past so, you definitely will not be disappointed when you watch the movie. Will there be a possible franchise in that making? There might be possibility if you guy actually WATCH THE MOVIE. So, go on. Stream it now on Netflix. Go Go! You know you want to.

Confessions of A Bored Vampire (Abigail review)

  I know it has been a long time since I have written a review. So many movies I watched a little later because of school and work. But I am back with a review because I was much inspired to write again about this probable cult classic in the horror genre. Abigail is the new horror popcorn flick worth catching before the summer movies roll in.  The film revolves around a group of troubled misfits who are hired to kidnap a rich man's daughter to get a handsome amount of money, they are stuck in a house with a child vampire that hunts them down on by one in hopes of getting out without their blood being drained.  I will not reveal too much for it is a movie worth catching at your own time to just have a blast at the cinema. Abigail can be seen as just another cash grab for a B-grade-looking horror movie featuring an expensive cast, its quippy script and interestingly written characters, this vampire film isn't like others. Or at least it makes its own bitemark to an overdon...

A Cautionary Tale That Should Have Stayed in 2004 (Mean Girls 2024 review)

-

After 20 years, the Plastics return in an all-new reiteration of Mean Girls, a cult classic teen drama that should have stayed in the early 2000s. No, it is not a sequel or a re-quel. It is very much a remake that is supposed to appeal to a whole new set of fans, possibly. It is also a live-action take on the Broadway musical that was inspired by the original film which, you guessed it, makes this a musical. Many people were skeptical about this idea, let alone knew it was going to be a musical while fans of the musical were wondering if it would live up to it.  As someone who hasn't seen the Broadway musical, it is hard to compare because I had never seen that cast, nor have I heard of the musical numbers before this so, I am unaware of that aspect of the film but I have seen the original film that starred Lindsay Lohan and Rachel McAdams. As someone who does, to this day, enjoy the original film, the remake does not live up to its standards but mostly for reasons that are not ent...

Percy Jackson and The Olympians (Full Season Review)

  With the acquisition of the FOX properties, Disney had the chance to adapt to the world of Percy Jackson once again. However, unlike the last time, Disney makes an adaptation that lives up to the source material as well as embraces author Rick Riordan with production, casting, and various other factors that went into this show.  With this first season following suit of the first novel, The Lightning Thief, Percy Jackson and The Olympians of course, follows the titular character learning of his mythological parentage and what that means when he is thrust into this world as he grows older and more powerful as a demigod. When he is chosen to go on quest based on a prophecy, he enlists help from Annabeth Chase and his best friend/satyr, Grover to find Zeus's missing lightning bolt.  Anyone who has seen the film that was released 12 years ago would have a good idea as to what this first season will cover but people who haven't read the original book will know the many change...
