Enola Holmes | A Great Synergy of Writing, Acting, Directing and Everything in Between

It was only when the movie was annouced that I became aware of Enola Holmes.

Wonder Woman | Review

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 | Review
