Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2434 KP) rated The Future Door in Books

Mar 9, 2018

The second in a kid's mystery series that combines steampunk and Sherlock Holmes. Griffin and his uncle have raced home to see what has happened to his parents only to almost be killed as soon as they've arrived. Why? The answer lies back in London and may lead to the end of the world as we know it. I was enjoy this book despite some over writing until I hit the climax which was a cheap way to end things. Not a bad book, but a disappointing finish.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2434 KP) rated World's Greatest Sleuth! in Books

Mar 9, 2018

Cowboys Old Red and Big Red are summoned to the World's Fair in Chicago to compete in a competition to discover who is the best detective in the world now that Sherlock Holmes has vanished. But the stakes are raised when someone involved in the competition turns up dead the second morning. Can Old Red figure out why the murder took place? I always enjoy spending time around these brothers in the 1890's, and this book was no exception. The story is strong as are the characters. Another fun read.

Good production

The game is afoot

A decent fun adventure as the younger sister of the famous detective goes in search of their Mother. This obviously has quite a big budget and features a talented cast. Millie Bobby Brown, of @Stranger Things is fun to watch in this. Quite lighthearted and only a 12 rating suggests the target audience is young adults. This isn't taxing on the old grey cells and doesn't have a great deal of mystery to it. However it held my interest. If you enjoy the Sherlock character then you should find this an enjoyable watch.

The games a foot!

A great all too little known film from '86. Set in Sherlock Holmes school days setting the story background as he becomes the worlds most famous detective. I remember seeing this at the cinema and it is just the sort of film full of action and adventure everyone should love. Steven Spielberg was involved in the production and it shows. This film has a feel to it like the Mummy and Indiana Jones films. It also has some very good SFX for the time, including very early use of cgi. If you have missed this film then you are missing out, track it down!
