The Death of Robin Hood - A Disappointing Take on Robin Hood's Final Days

I noticed this movie in the Coming Soon section of various Indonesian cinema chains websites and application and thought it looked interesting. Plus the lead actor was a famous star that I thought looked suitable as the main character. When it was finally available yesterday, my wife and I went to the cinema nearest to our home and saw this in the afternoon show. Well how was the movie then? I'll just get right on it.

Brief Story Line

Set in the year 1247, an aging Robin Hood (Hugh Jackman - Deadpool & WolverineThe Greatest Showman etc) was feeling tired after years of killings and was living all by himself. When one of his oldest friend Little John (Bill SkarsgĂ„rd - NosferatuBarbarian etc) sought his help to free his family from old adversaries, Robin decided to help him despite his earlier reluctance.

(TV SERIES) Elle Season 1 - A Fun and Pleasing Light Comedy Series and Prequel to the Hugely Popular Legally Blonde

Few weeks ago, I read somewhere about this series that would be released on Prime Video which I thought sounded interesting. When it was finally made available two days ago, I thought it would have the usual one episode per week, but to my surprise, all episodes were already released on that day. So I decided to start watching yesterday and finished it today. Without further ado, here's more on the series.

Brief Story Line

Set in the 1990s, Elle Woods (Lexi Minetree - The Murdaugh Murders etc) the only daughter of successful plastic surgeon Wyatt Woods (Tom Everett Scott - Sisters of the Groom, The Summer I Turned Pretty TV series etc) and Eva (June Diane Raphael - Long Shot, Burning Love TV series etc) was having the best time of her life, living in Los Angeles and was loved by her high school friends. Unfortunately, due to some reasons, the whole family had to move outside LA and settled in Seattle.

Enola Holmes 3 - Not as Impressive as Its Predecessors with Less Complex Mystery, Though Still Maintained Its Charm

In the past few weeks, this movie was already shown as part of the Coming Soon section on Netflix. It was sequel to the film that I liked previously so it's no brainer that I would immediately watch it as soon as it was made available yesterday. OK then, let's get right to it.

Brief Story Line

After years of being in relationship with Lord Tewkesbury (Louis Partridge - Disclaimer mini series etc), Enola Holmes (Millie Bobby Brown - DamselGodzilla Vs. Kong etc) agreed to his marriage proposal and planned to have their wedding in Malta as suggested by Lady Tewkesbury (Hattie Morahan - Fool Me Once mini series, The Golden Compass etc). From Enola's side though, only her brother Sherlock (Henry Cavill - In the GreyThe Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare etc) was able to attend since their mother Eudoria (Helena Bonham Carter - Agatha Christie's Seven Dials mini series, Lady Jane etc) was being hunted by British government for her past crimes.
