The one place for FILM, MUSIC and LITERATURE
Dark City – The Cleaner is a series from New Zeeland about a serial killer who works as a cleaner by day, and serial killer by night. What’s not to like really? This is kind of a special series too. it’s not just the run-of-the-mill serial killer. We get to follow his thoughts via an inner monologue. A little but like he’s talking directly to us. Describing what he feels and how he thinks. It...
Primeval is in short about the discovery of these anomalies that occur here and there in Britain. They connect time and space between the present and the distant past. And when I say distant past, I mean just that. It’s millions of years and there are all kinds of creatures on the other side. Mostly what we would call dinosaurs. I’m not sure it the visualisation of them is truly accurate all the time but...
Lucifer has a really strange concept. It’s basically about the Devil, the root of all evil proving that it’s not so at all. Every episode, at least in the earlier seasons started with the text that the Devil – Lucifer Morningstar, was tired of ruling in Hell and therefore had taken some vacation in Los Angeles. Where else you might ask? At first, he’s only there to party, have lots of sex and drugs, and...
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....
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...
