The one place for FILM, MUSIC and LITERATURE
Monolith is a special movie. What’s special about it, among other things, is that there’s only one actor onscreen. Everything else is just voice-acting over the phone. There are other films like it of course. Films where we only see one actor or when the set is quite limited to one place. On the top of my head, I think of Buried where Ryan Reynold is buried alive and needs to find a way to...
There were mainly two reasons that I decided to watch Exodus. First, the title. There’s got to be something special about a movie called Exodus.

Clickbait is a very effective way to attract views to your site and blogs. For this Netflix series, it’s not really the same though. Of course, the main story begins with just...
I was watching this movie – Riddle Room. I thought it was a very interesting title. It doesn’t say much about the contents of course. The main plot is this woman being held captive in a room. She is tormented by masked kidnappers. We know that there are clues inside the room on how to escape. We also know that there are Clues inside the room to whom the woman really is. She doesn’t know...
