The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies Los Angeles Premiere

Los Angeles, Calif—December 9^th 2014—The Dolby Theater Presents: The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies.

The time has come. The beginning of the end. We at SoCal Sherlockians had went through this heartbreak once before when The Lord of the Rings had come to an end. We thought we were ready for the heartbreak of war and the triumph of battle going into this event. But we were not. And like a Taylor Swift song we had yet to learn our lesson about love. The love of a trilogy. With a backpack full of tissues, and our hearts heavy in the promotional #OneLastTime we went down to cover the premiere festivities that was The Hobbit Battle of the Five Armies.

Wreckers (2011)

                                              Wreckers

Currently available on United States Netflix. Wreckers, an independent drama, came only to United Kingdom cinemas in Winter 2011. A resilient piece that rides the waves of drama, lies, deception and the willingness to keep living.

David (Benedict Cumberbatch) seems the perfect husband on the surface. David is a calm creature, loving, attentive, and is currently employed as a college professor in the next town over. His wife, Dawn (Claire Foy), is more internal and reserved by nature, but nonetheless an attentive wife with a slight detached lingering sadness that follows her like a cloud.

The Sign of Three (Mild Spoilers)



Don't toast to us you smug bastard!

                  Sherlock Series 3; Episode 2: The Sign of Three

(Disclaimer: there will be SPOILERS and this post will be rather lengthy. So grab a refreshment and continue along with me.)


       This is the most interesting and controversial Sherlock episode thus far. It has done three things to its own fandom and to itself as a television show in the course of what was a singularly fast paced episode. In the course of ninety minutes the show ended with mixed reviews from critics and fans a like bashing the episode from being the most un-Sherlock, Sherlock episode in the history of the series and the novel counterpart as well. Secondly, it is an episode in which a case (if you even want to call it that) presents itself only in the last thirty minutes of the show and is solved quite hastily. Lastly, the big reveal at the end of this episode (which I will indeed save for the end but don't worry it's not an obvious spoiler) is probably the most hot topic button pushed that leaves you hoping for the worst in the season finale.  In short this episode is the lightest, un-Sherlock, cleverly written episode that has viewers laughing, baffled, and yet subtly suffocated as a lingering darkness looms in the last five minutes leading up it the impending season finale.
