The one place for FILM, MUSIC and LITERATURE
My first Encounter with Martin Landau was probably the Sci-Fi show Space: 1999. Here in Sweden the show was aired as “Månbas Alpha” which translated means “Moon Base Alpha”. I don’t know which is the better title for the show but it really doesn’t matter. When the show was released in Sweden a few years ago I had very vague memories of it. I got the series though and I started to remember fragments of...
Why is it that George A. Romero never was considered to be one of the great directors of our time? Sure, among fans of horror he was considered a God but I don’t think that general movie goers knew anything about him. Yet he almost single-handed created a whole sub-genre! The Zombie films wouldn’t have been what they are if it weren’t for his vision. What George A. Romero did was to take a creature...
Last night I got the news about Michael Nyqvists passing away. I was shocked! I didn’t have a clue that he was sick or anything. When I read the papers today I learned that he kept his struggle with lung cancer a secret. Only a few of his closest friends and family knew that he had fought the decease for about a year.

The genre “Dansband”, which he represents, is typically Swedish I think. The term refers to that people dance to the music and by that I mean dancing together two and two. I feel that I need to clarify this because you can dance to any music basically. Just different dances....
We all knew this day would come, the day when Rock n’ Roll pioneer Chuck Berry wouldn’t be with us anymore. Still, there’s a great deal of denial when we hear that our heroes pass away. In Chuck Berry’s case you can’t really say that he passed before his time though. The Rock n’ Roll Pioneer was 90 years old and still going string it seems. On his 90th birthday he announced that a new...
