The one place for FILM, MUSIC and LITERATURE
I wasn’t aware of Kubrick by Kubrick until a few weeks ago. I saw someone writing about that it was the first time that he ever heard Stanley Kubrick’s voice. It’s the same for me. Kubrick by Kubrick contains something as unusual as an interview with the great, almost mythical, director. He was well known for evading interviews and was very avid towards appearing in front of the camera, on TV, and such. Come to...
Of course, I am never first when it comes to writing about overwhelming movies. I’m not the first to watch Jodorowsky’s Dune and be amazed by the enormous project either, far from it. But I watch quite a few documentaries these days and often enjoy them thoroughly. In fact, I once was more interested in horror movies but I think that interest is overshadowed by documentaries these days. I prefer subjects that are in the...
True Crime I have been watching a lot of series recently. I don’t know why but I kinda lost interest in movies temporarily. Maybe it’s a side interest that made me see The Keepers since I seem to be drawn to series concerning true crime. The Keepers is from the beginning a murder mystery about a nun found murdered in 1970 I believe. It’s an unsolved case, at least that is what was claimed in...
If you’re a horror film collector from the UK you’ve probably not unfamiliar with Vipco. In the untold story, you might learn something new about the time of the video nasties though. Or maybe not. I’m not from the UK myself and I think I had most of it covered in my knowledge bank already. Of course, there are always details to learn and it’s interesting to see the man himself Michael Lee talk about...
Lately, I have been watching quite a few documentaries. Herschell Gordon Lewis – The Godfather of Gore is just one of the most recent ones. As a horror addict or at least very interested in movie history, the name Herschell Gorgon Lewis is not a new one for me. I’m fully aware of why he was and some of the most famous movies he did. Color me Blood Red, Blood Feast, The Gruesome Twosome, The...
I’ve been spending the last couple of weeks watching Dark Side of the Ring. It’s a documentary series from Vice TV about… you’ve guessed it, the dark side of wrestling. You might think that I’m a huge fan of wrestling as I wrote a review on the documentary Andre the Giant? Or sports in general but nothing could be further from the truth. I do find it interesting to know about these things though. I’m...
I am not a huge fan of wrestling but I have heard the name of Andre the Giant before. I knew that he was a legendary wrestler and that he lived a life that few of us dream of. In this documentary, the story about this larger-than-life character is displayed to us. It’s a really interesting story and it starts right from the beginning of his life rather than at the beginning of his wrestler...
I have been watching every episode of History’s Greatest Mysteries so far. I’ve always been fascinated by the unknown and theories about what might actually have happened when mysterious events have taken place. This series has covered a few great mysteries spanning from the Bermuda Triangle to the escape of John Wilkes Booth, Rosewell, and the Hunt for DB Cooper. Of course, some of these subjects are more interesting than others. But most of them...
When I first got this movie many years ago I thought it was a documentary based on the Omen films.It is a very misleading cover though. The Omen has nothing what so ever to do with this documentary. Instead 666 Revealed focus on a handful of serial killers that all have been born on the date of a Satanic Ceremony of some kind. Hence it is argued that these serial killer could be the offspring...
I’ve had Philosophy of a Knife in my possession almost since it was released almost ten years ago. For some reason, I’ve never watched it. Maybe it’s because it’s four hours long and filmed in black and white. At least for the most part. Well, I’ve never been afraid of watching long movies in foreign languages and I often see black and white as a more stylistic way to create beautiful imagery, so that can’t be it....
I’m never first with reviewing stuff. Well actually I am sometimes but usually not. Especially when I come to big commercial things. For some special interest stuff, I can be first and alone to write about it in the whole world. Alice Cooper is kinda one of my special interests though, but Super Duper Alice Cooper is kinda “big” and very commercial. I’m sure there are loads of reviews out there so why should I...
