Season 2 of the New-York set modern-day reimagining of Sherlock Holmes (and Dr Watson), with more of the same types of murder mysteries as in the first series.

Obviously.

That's the entire point!

Here, however, Joan is no longer Sherlock's sober companion but is now his protege, working alongside him to solve the cases they encounter whilst consulting with the NYPD.

For myself, the best episodes - I felt - where those with the always entertaining Sean Pertwee, although I wasn't so enamoured of those with Mycroft Holmes (Rhys Ifans) and the Dr Watson romance going on!

A wonderful reimagining
This book is the first in the series. This book was on my list for awhile, but I had been holding off reading it. I’m glad I finally did. It was a fast paced adventure with a sprinkle of romance. It had me rooting for Cinder the whole time, and there were enough twists to keep everything interesting. The villain was good, though I think she could have been given stonger motives. This was a fantastic retelling of an old fairytale, with an awesome sci-fi twist. I would highly recommend it.

The latest of Disney animation to get the live-action treatment, this ids - obviously - a retelling/reimagining of Walt Disney's first ever animated film, with Rachel Zegler in the lead role and with ex Wonder-Woman Gal Gadot as the evil queen.

And I think Disney were in a no-win situation right from the off, with complaints made about not using those with Dwarfism to play the role of the 7 dwarves, alongside complaints made that said films (and the original) were downplaying their lived-in experience.

Or so I heard, anyway.

I have to say, though ,that the CGI dwarves do stand out like a sore thumb ...

Superman gone bad
I found this dark reimagining of Superman quite hit and miss.The kid is creepy enough and fully utilises his powers once he knows what he is capable of BUT the writers could have given us a little more of what motivated him to use said powers for evil instead of good.

The film wasnt to heavily reliant on the gore,though when it did it was pretty cool (the glass in the eye scene stands out) and the occasional jump out your seat scare scene did just exactly that.

Not sure if this has the potential to open up a cinematic universe with nothing but supervillains in (as eluded to in a credits scene)
