Enola Holmes (Movie Review) | A Great Synergy of Writing, Acting, Directing and Everything in Between

23 September 20208 July 2025 ~ Garc ~ 5 Comments

It was only when the movie was annouced that I became aware of Enola Holmes. Although a newer character in the Sherlock Holmes mythology, I wasn't phased by it because I've been pleasantly surprised by many versions of Sherlock, Watson, and Mycroft. Directed by Harry Bradbeer (Fleabag, Dickensian) and adapted by Jack Thorne (His Dark … Continue reading Enola Holmes (Movie Review) | A Great Synergy of Writing, Acting, Directing and Everything in Between

The Devil All the Time (Movie Review) | A Circle of Bad Things

16 September 202012 November 2023 ~ Garc ~ 4 Comments

The novel this movie is based on is not one that I would have picked up. One of the reasons I ended up watching the film is the producer Jake Gyllenhaal (Spider-Man: Far from Home, Brokeback Mountain), and the cast which includes Jason Clarke (Zero Dark Thirty, Mudbound), Bill Skarsgard (It, Deadpool 2, Allegiant), Harry … Continue reading The Devil All the Time (Movie Review) | A Circle of Bad Things

The Old Guard (Movie Review) | Intro to Immortals 101

10 July 20206 July 2025 ~ Garc ~ 3 Comments

I randomly stumbled upon this movie. I mean I was looking at another film of Charlize Theron's (Atomic Blonde) when The Old Guard came on my radar. It's not an intellectual property that I'm familiar with but the cast and the premise were enough to put in my "to-watch list." The movie is based on … Continue reading The Old Guard (Movie Review) | Intro to Immortals 101

Wonder Woman | Movie Review

1 June 201721 November 2024 ~ Garc ~ 4 Comments

This character has a lot of things going for it as far as I'm concerned. I've always like the idea of the Amazons, a group of badass female warriors, what's not to like? And whenever I've watched a DC animated movie she was often a stand out. As for her portrayal by Gal Gadot, I … Continue reading Wonder Woman | Movie Review

Victor Frankenstein | Trailer

Review: I didn’t need much to get interested in this movie, the cast was enough, but the trailer was a surprise for me. I expected the movie to be very dramatic and mellow but it looks fun, thrilling with elements of horror in it. It could have been a good summer blockbuster. The movie seems a … Continue reading Victor Frankenstein | Trailer

Brooklyn | Trailer

Review: The cast and I mean the whole cast was the first thing that put this film in my watch-list. Saoirse Ronan is just an amazing actrice, I feel like she’s a bit underrated and doesn’t have the success that a talented young woman like her could have. The film looks very good, the trailer is … Continue reading Brooklyn | Trailer
