The one place for FILM, MUSIC and LITERATURE
As the title of this movie, Rebel Moon Part One – A Child of Fire is somewhat long and clumsy. I will refer to it as only Rebel Moon Part One in the text. I think this makes sense because if there is a part one, there should be a part two later, right? That ought to be enough to distinguish them from each other anyway. Star Wars I know I’m not the only one...
When I first saw the cover art for The Phantom Empire I was totally blown away. This got to be a highly entertaining film! It just seems so all over the place that it has to be funny. Maybe not deliberately so, but it’s still funny. Well, there are a few scenes in the early parts of the movie, in fact even before the movie really begins the humor is evident. There’s no chance in...
Once upon a time, I saw a movie called The Philadelphia Experiment mainly because John Carpenter was credited as a producer on the cover. When I watched it yesterday again, many years later I saw that he was credited as an executive producer. I have no idea what kinda of creative input, if any, he had on the movie itself. Probably just enough to lend his name to the production. At the time, in 1984,...
Now, this is an interesting post. I haven’t written anything in a while and now I find that WordPress is totally different. Updates are good perhaps but there’s something to be gained from recognizing yourself also. It’s the same thing with a series like Stargate SG1. You need to recognize yourself to be able to fully enjoy it. I guess that is true för most series though. There’s a problem with being too familiar though....
First of all, I’ll have to admit that I never heard about the DC comic superhero Blue Beetle before. I have never read any adventure featuring him, or it, or whatever it is supposed to be. In the movie, however, it’s kind of a thing that comes from outer space and lays dormant for a number of years until it finds its host. With that said, it is a parasite of sorts. Not necessarily a...
Star Crystal is a movie you probably never heard about. And there’s a reason why. You really don’t need to see this one, believe me. The poster art looks promising and all and there’s a fairly thought-through plot in there somewhere. But it’s very poorly executed. The actors are bad, the music is unmotivated, and all that which you surely can relate to from a bad movie. But it isn’t hideously bad as you might...
Forbidden World is one of those movies with a kick-ass title, a kick-ass poster, and a kick-ass storyline. Well, at least the first two claims are true. As a matter of fact, I didn’t really know the story that Forbidden World was supposed to tell until I saw it. I was expecting some space traveler to land on a planet where he wasn’t supposed to be and where he would encounter monsters like those on...
It is Halloween Month, Shocktober, or whatever you’d like to call it. So I thought a list with 31 Horror Movies you need to see was a good idea. None of these are in any particular order. They’re not listed from worst to best or anything like that. They’re just movies that I think you should see that fall under the Horror Umbrella. They’re not all core horror films and sometimes they’re mixed up with...
I am a huge Star Trek buff but I never heard about Of Gods and Men until just a few days ago. To be frank, it’s nothing to be proud of to have heard about. It basically sucks! As far as I understand it’s a semi-fan fiction that isn’t recognized in the Star Trek canon. And I’m not sure if the characters were actually allowed to be used either. But I think the attempt is...
I saw The Terror Within for the first time on rental VHS back in the day. It was a cool movie back then, I really liked it. It had a cool monster and the story was more or less Alien all over again. It’s not set in space though, but underground. Same difference I think. the important thing is that it’s a closed space where you really can’t escape from. Of course, neither is true...
I’m glad there was a Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 eventually. I was afraid that there might not be one at one point. At least not something that could be worthy of the two first installments of the film series. It’s probably common knowledge by now that Disney Studios or whatever they’re called (I’m sure there are lots and lots of subsidiaries), wasn’t too pleased about some tweets James Gunn made several years ago...
It was bound to happen, wasn’t it? It’s evident that Octogames more or less has stolen the premise from the very successful South Korean series Squidgame. There are too many things going on for it to be a coincidence. First of all, an octopus isn’t that far away from Squid. I know it’s not strictly the same species but they both have arms or tentacles, right? Second, the film centers around children’s games with a...
