The one place for FILM, MUSIC and LITERATURE
I was kind of reluctant to start to watch the Teen Wolf series from the 2010s. The reason had really nothing to do with the series at all. But I once saw scenes from the 1985 movie with Michal J Fox with the same name. I never saw the entire movie, just a few scenes, and thought it looked so ridiculous that I just skipped it. Add also the fact that when this movie came...
The Continental: From the World of John Wick is a 2023 miniseries in three episodes. It centers around the hotel The Continental which is displayed in the John Wick Movies. That is to say that it takes place in the same universe as the movies, but not at the same time. I think the timeline here is during the 70s and the movies take place in the present day. Which means roughly when the movies...
Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments is the latest series I’ve managed to see. I recently posted a little about it on instagram too. I wasn’t quite finished with the series then, there were still a couple of episodes to go. Let’s say that I was very eager to see how it was going to end. I predicted that there would be a happy ending to the series. Was I right? Well, I guess that depends on...
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...
A couple of weeks ago I watched this series – Endgame. It’s about a Russian grandmaster in chess that is trapped in a hotel. At least in his own mind, as he suffered from agoraphobia. Of course, he lives in the presidential suite or whatever you call it and it cost him dearly. Money that he doesn’t have. So, since he cannot leave and he only plays chess with worthy opponents. He needs to do...
Squid Game has taken the world by storm. I think that it has also paved the way for some other South Korean or even Asian series as a whole into the western world. Now, South Korean cinema is not so different from western, and American movies. Apart from the language of course. There are other countries in Asia, especially Japan where the culture is way different and usually comes up with really crazy stuff. I...
When I first saw Babylon 5: The Gathering back in the day I had no thoughts of it being a pilot for a sci-fi series. It just didn’t occur to me. I guess most pilots for series are like movies though. They have a beginning and an end much like any other film. The Gathering contains some secrets though. So as a film, it doesn’t reveal enough of the truth needed to conclude it. As...
I have a hard time creating clickbait headers, and more so for The Tick than more other stuff I’ve written in a while. My time has been quite limited for quite some time so there are not as many posts on here as I would like to but I feel I have to take the time for this series. I never heard about The Tick before but from what I understand it’s originally an animated...
Legend of the Seeker was a series that apparently wasn’t too popular as it was aired for only two seasons. In my opinion, there were a few more seasons to be squeezed out of it. Ok, so the initial premise was solved as early as in season one. The Hero, being the seeker, defeats the evil tyrant. But as they squeezed in a continuation with a shoehorn in season two it still made sense. 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 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...
It’s time for me to rant somewhat about DC’s Legends of tomorrow. I think it started out just fine and it was a very entertaining superhero science fiction series to begin with. Immediately after the first season, I was in some doubt as to how they were gonna continue the storyline. The story seemed kinda ended and they needed something new to keep it interesting. I think they succeeded and Legends of tomorrow was still...
