There are very few occasions when I say that it seems like a movie was crafted for me. This is one of those moments. It ticks all the boxes I love when it comes to horror. I will give already a warning for a lot of blood, flashing neon lights and many cases of sexual … Continue reading Last Night in Soho (2021) – Mirror Images and Broken Fantasies
Halloween Movies to Watch! – 2021 Edition
Hello! Haven't been active here on the blog in a while. There have been some life changes (I got into University!) and it was difficult to write about something. That is sometimes the trouble, I like to analyse and look deep into different forms of media to find meanings and symbols. But I also want … Continue reading Halloween Movies to Watch! – 2021 Edition
Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers (2004) – An Underrated Nostalgia Trip
Full disclosure, nostalgia made me watch this old Disneytoons cartoon movie. And mostly that is thanks to a certain video with clips from the movie, showing how chaotic this movie is with its humour, I highly recommend putting on the captions. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUkuYkH796c. It brought me back to watching this movie, both the Finnish Dub … Continue reading Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers (2004) – An Underrated Nostalgia Trip
OK Jaanu (2017) – Romantic and Happy
Remakes are a hot topic, be it from Disney's money grabs at nostalgia, a reimagining of a classic movie or just the Hindi remake of a movie from South India. This is one such remake, and one of a successful Tamil movie at that. O Kadhal Kanmani (2015) directed by Mani Ratnam. So, for the … Continue reading OK Jaanu (2017) – Romantic and Happy
2021 – Well, The Last Year Certainly was Something
Hello! I know I abandoned this blog for a LONG time...like almost over a year. There was just something that felt so much like work, not fun for a while and then the whole COVID-19 thing happened (and is still happening) and the world became quite chaotic. I just needed to take time off for … Continue reading 2021 – Well, The Last Year Certainly was Something
Jesus Christ Superstar (2014 Swedish Arena Tour) – Personally, Hits Home Hard and Succeeds Perfectly
I am not religious, but one of my favourite musicals is Andrew Lloyd Webbers Jesus Christ Superstar. No Idea how it became one of my favourites, but it just has been growing me slowly through the years. My first Superstar was the 2000 version with Glen Carter and Jerome Pradon and I still love it … Continue reading Jesus Christ Superstar (2014 Swedish Arena Tour) – Personally, Hits Home Hard and Succeeds Perfectly
Sushant Singh Rajput: A Memoriam
I know it has taken me a while to write this. There were many reasons, especially the circumstances, the many unfounded conspiracy theories and hate that followed, leaving the real discussion of mental health (especially in this time) behind. Now, I feel like I can talk about him and what he meant. I by no … Continue reading Sushant Singh Rajput: A Memoriam

Harud (2010) – Sometimes A Photo is All You Have
After seeing Kashmir in so many Indian films like Mission Kashmir, Fitoor, Haider and countless others, this comes as a breath of fresh air. A movie made by the Kashmiris themselves in the Kashmiri language (though the version I saw on Netflix was Urdu-dubbed) and from the view of Kashmiri's who are still living under … Continue reading Harud (2010) – Sometimes A Photo is All You Have
Party (1984) – The Silent Pain of the Artistic Middle-Class
Based on a Marathi play of the same name in 1976 by Mahesh Elkunchwar. This film grabs you and doesn't let you go, either by its realness or by the craftsmanship of its story, which is in a sense in a commentary on art within an art based on art. Now, this movie is a … Continue reading Party (1984) – The Silent Pain of the Artistic Middle-Class
