The one place for FILM, MUSIC and LITERATURE
Three scientistsdiscover a new energy source that could replace conventional sources such as oil in the near future. Of course, not everyone is as overwhelmingly happy about this discovery and soon two of the three scientists are murdered! The third is protected by the American intelligence service, more specifically by agent Bob Flemming who begins his investigations by all means possible. Who is really behind the two deaths? There are actually two main reasons for...
Sadisticum is a movie that I know very little about. I came across it somewhere and due to its cover art I realized that this must be something like nothing else. As far as I understand, at least if you’re trusting Wikipedia, the film is still banned in Germany due to its violence. Still it can be seen for sale at the German Amazon site, so I don’t know. I’m a vivid advocate for films...
Water Horse is an Australian horror movie from 2024. I guess you could say it’s kind of a Found Footage kind of movie since everything, more or less, is filmed by the characters of the movie themselves. You could also argue that the footage is actually “found”, even if it doesn’t really follow the same “rules” as many of these films do. It’s a film about this paranormal investigation team that has gone missing. They...
That Ace Frehley has never been a great singer is no secret. He has managed to get by with what he can and it has worked quite well. Here I would like to say that he may be giving his best performance ever. Space Invader is light years better than the previous album Anomaly on that level. Of course, that is not the only level it is better on, in almost every respect this one...
The Lizzie Borden Game is a film from 2025. It’s somehow based on, you guessed it, the murder case against Lizzie Borden and the circumstances of her father and stepmother’s deaths. In the film itself some of the people claim to not know who Lizzie Borden was, but I find that far fetched. I mean, I’m not from Fall River or Massachusetts but I know a bit about the legendary case. And I’m all the...
House on Eden is another movie where it’s obvious that you cannot trust the rating on imdb, nor Rotten Tomatoes really. That is according to me of course, I’m not claiming to know more, or that my opinions are more valuable than anyone else’s. But the fact remains. My opinions are mine and as long as I write reviews I will continue to deliver my honest one. With that said. House of Eden is kind...
72 Seasons is Metallica’s eleventh studio album, not counting the collaboration Lulu with Lou Reed. It’s no secret that I have been less than positive to the band’s music after The Black Album. We are many who have been. At the same time, there are loads of people who discovered the band in that era and absolutely adore what they have done after that album. I figure I have said all this before on multiple...
Breezy is a Clint Eastwood film the I’ve had sitting on my shelf for a very long time. Ever since Studio S Entertainment released it in 2009, I think. Why it has been on my shelf I can’t really answer. Sadly, it is probably because other things have simply come in between, films that can’t hold a candle to this excellent film. Because even though it doesn’t look like much on the surface, the poster...
For most people I would think that this is first and foremost a musical. Surely there is knowledge that there is a literary model for Andrew Lloyd Webber’s hit musical. But how many have actually read it? Vanishingly few compared to how many know the story through the musical, I would think. My own first contact with The Phantom of the Opera was of course through the world of film. If there is one thing...
I have had 22 Bullets on my shelf for a long time but have been hesitant to watch it. I have always had high hopes. The reason is that it is produced by Luc Besson, one of my favorites when it comes to French films. At the same time, the reason I haven’t seen it is precisely that it is a French film. Not that I have anything against them in any way, quite the...
As you may have picked up, I am quite fond of films that do not follow the template. That is, the big Hollywood template. I like to see films that push the boundaries and that may not be considered in the same league as the big companies’ blockbuster films. Now I spoke diplomatically. I like trash films, turkey films, quirky films and quality films. The difficult thing is to find the balance between these extremes....
Sometimes I get a few records to listen to and review. If you ask me, it happens all too rarely because there is hardly anything more fun than getting an idea of a new band or a new record for the first time. That’s why I’m extra excited about this new record by Tongue, stay tuned and I’ll tell you why. Firstly, you get to get an idea of what kind of music it’s really...
Violent Revolution is the first studio album of the 2000s from Kreator, their tenth in total. Without having all of Kreators discography in fresh memory I think it seems like they make every other record really great and something less than perfect in between. Violent Revolution is one of the really good ones! It has just the elements I’m looking for when it comes to Kreator. It’s aggressive, not too technically as far as the...
