Nonsense! They just needed to send the sheep to Miss Porter's Charm School for lessons in refined human behavior, and then Sheep Stunt School for the physical part, and then THE BAAAAAAACTORS STUDIO narf!

Enola Holmes 3 (2026) - Yeah so it's the third of the (I guess successful since they keep making them!) series of movies with Millie Bobby Brown as Sherlock's much younger sister who solves crimes too and looks at the camera to talk to the audience sometimes. This one's set in Malta, I guess because it's cheap to film there, or something? To be fair there is a plot about the British Emprie and its history of covering up war crimes, so young viewers might learn some things from it. Sharon Duncan Brewster returns as Moriarty (despite the movie being quite socially aware they don't really acknowledge Moriarty being a black lady) and I think she does a great job as what could have just been a one note cackling villain. I mean, she still cackles a lot but you feel there's something behind the cackling. Enola is getting married to her foppish boy but Sherlock is kidnapped and stuff happens. It's fine. If you found the previous two tolerable you'll feel the same about this.

The Housemaid (2025) - Based on a book which was very popular on "booktok" - which, and this may be unfair, gives me the impression that it was a book for people who don't read many books - this was a big hit late last year, starring Sydney Sweeney, Amanda Seyfried and Some Guy. And It's...okay, I guess. The first hour or so I didn't think much of. Sweeney just kind of floats around looking a bit sleepy. Seyfried is much better but I guess she has more fun stuff to play as she's the "crazy" one (but there'a twist!) The best part by far is when it switches perspective to Seyfried for a while as Amanda Seyfried FUCKING RULES and if the whole movie had been the story of her character I would have liked it more. Sweeney does get a bit better once she gets to show emotion but the main guy is just a handsome robot even after we find out his secret. I felt like it could have stood to be a bit more camp as there are a few funny moments but maybe not enough. The plot barely holds together too and I'm sure you could find eighty seven PLOT HOLES if you wanted to. It was worth watching for me as an Amanda Seyfried fan ass he is really really fantastic in it - Sweeney is nice to look at too, but let's just say they're really lucky they managed to get Amanda in the movie as it would not have been entertaining at all otherwise.

Masters of the universe 2026, I really liked it, they don't stay on earth too long, and there is a nice cameo (or two) in their.

Also a very well timed Queen song.
