Enola Holmes is the latest Netflix collaboration with Millie Bobby Brown and the latest Sherlock Holmes (related) movie. I didn’t go into this expecting anything beyond the basic concept (Sherlock Holmes’ younger sister) so was able to be surprised by … Continue reading
Netflix’s new Charlize Theron starring action flick The Old Guard was released late last week and I gave it a look. This flick has a premise borrowed from Highlander but wants to be a more prestigious and modern style action … Continue reading
