Cinephile No. 532 "Mr. Holmes"

Reviews
Written By Nathan Box

As moviegoers, we rarely get a clear view of our heroes at their most frail state. "Mr. Holmes" brilliantly defies that cinematic idea. All of our lives and with remake after remake, we've followed the detective work of a young Sherlock Holmes as he solved case after case with a combination of youthful smugness and intelligence often missing in modern day superhero movies. Never were we made to think about his humanity, his succumbing to the pains of old age and his hopes to reconcile the past while there is still time left. This movie bravely went where very few fictional series go and now it is my solemn hope others will follow suit

Thanks for entering my world,

Hello! My name is Nathan. I've always believed I would meet that special someone in one of two places; either a record store or a book store. Maybe I need to amend? I moved to Seattle in February of 2011 from Oklahoma City (Try and not hold the Sonics/Thunder thing against me). I knew I wanted to work for a nonprofit and go to grad school. Within a couple of months, I was doing both. During the day, I work as a Fund Developer and Community Relations Manager for a nonprofit in Kent and at night I try to stay as busy as possible volunteering, trying new restaurants, finding hidden bars and exploring Seattle. The past few years has been both terrifying and exhilarating. I have done things on my own I didn’t think were within my capability. I love being outdoors. On any given weekend, I can be found hiking, on a road trip, volunteering, at a museum, seeing a movie (I see a lot of them). I am passionate about nonprofit work. I feel called to leave a mark on this world. Nothing against those who enjoy making tons of money, I just need to know I am making a difference.
