Get to know me post #3: Sherlock

November 17, 2017

I don't watch many current TV shows. There are many reasons why, but none of them are involved in this post. In 2014, I was a freshman in high school. I was on academic team and I was the Sherlock Holmes "expert" of the team. I knew the books by heart and I had seen quite a few versions of movies and TV shows. Then one of my teammates and friends asked me who was a better Sherlock Holmes: Robert Downey Jr. or Benedict Cumberbatch. I chose Downey simply because I liked those movies and had no idea who Cumberbatch was. My friend even asked me if I knew about the BBC version of Sherlock Holmes and I said no and that was why my choice was what it was. But what he said sparked my interest. He said it was a modern day version of Sherlock Holmes without the problems that the CBS show Elementary had. It was simply taking the stories I knew by heart and transporting them into present day. No messing with the story. No changing how Holmes and Watson were. Just old stories...

Halloween

November 01, 2017

Halloween was yesterday. I was one of the handful of people (that I saw anyway) that dressed up on campus. I went as the TARDIS from Doctor Who . I had brought along another costume in case it was just too cold or for just hanging out around my room which I made back in high school for a dress up day. That costume was from Nightmare on Elm Street. I had a great day even though I did not go out trick or treating. I watched Tim Burton movies and ended the night with Nightmare on Elm Street . I didn't eat a ton of candy or go out and do anything. I spent a nice quiet night at my dorm. I want to say that the costumes I saw were pretty cool. I saw a Waldo (I found Waldo by the way), Belle from Beauty and the Beast , a lot of people dressed up as nerds, and (my favorite) an Eleventh Doctor. I hope everyone had fun and I can't wait for next Halloween.

Manners Maketh Man

September 26, 2017

I was able to see this movie over the weekend. I love the first Kingsman movie. Naturally, when I heard about the sequel I couldn't wait for it. Especially after I saw the first trailer. Sequels usually aren't as good as the first and yet this sequel was everything I could hope for in a second Kingsman movie. Spoiler alerts ahead. The Golden Circle takes place a year after the first movie, even though it has been 2 years since the first movie. Eggsy (Taron Egerton) has taken over at Kingsman for Harry Hart (Colin Firth), the man who introduced Eggsy to Kingsman. The movie starts off with Eggsy getting in a fight with a former Kingsman applicant, Charlie (Edward Holcroft). Through a daring fight and car chase through London (including down Bayswater Street and through Hyde Park), Charlie manages to hack into the Kingsman database. We learn Eggsy lives in Harry's house and has basically left it the way it was except for the office which now has the headlines of missio...
