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
I saw CATS (2019) or How to completely misunderstand the source material and travel to the Uncanny Valley
I sit in my comfortable seat in my local theatre for the first showing where the tickets were available, it is a comfortable lounge style room with reclining large seats and pillows. At least I am going to see this disaster of a movie in the best seats in the house. The music starts, we … Continue reading I saw CATS (2019) or How to completely misunderstand the source material and travel to the Uncanny Valley
Jezebel (1938) – A Dated Story with Wonderful Acting from Bette Davis
I watched this movie for Bette Davis. Also, the costumes. I was told this was the first quintessential American women's picture with its story and I was curious. So, I watched it. Summary: In 1852 New Orleans the socialite Julie Preston is engaged to banker Preston "Pres" Dillard who refuses to dance to her tune … Continue reading Jezebel (1938) – A Dated Story with Wonderful Acting from Bette Davis
Love Affair (1939) – The Original Affair to Remember
Gah! This film got to me! It got me like stab to the heart and straight to the tear ducts at the end. So good, might even be better than the 1957 version. But that's the magic of this story, it can be done in any age with any kind of cast, and work like … Continue reading Love Affair (1939) – The Original Affair to Remember
Peter Pan (2003) – Where Adventure and Adolescence Make Magic for the Soul
This is one of those movies, which I watched in my early teen years. It came out in 2003 and I think I even had the DVD (which seems to be lost or has been given away). I completely fell in love with this movie. I have read the original 1911 book almost to bits … Continue reading Peter Pan (2003) – Where Adventure and Adolescence Make Magic for the Soul
Today’s Special (2009) – A Delicious Treat of Natural Flavours
We watched this film because of my little sister and I am so thankful that we did. It was better than I hoped and is now added to the list of films with Indian food that will make you hungry. This one did, for all the family and it is a wonderful little movie with … Continue reading Today’s Special (2009) – A Delicious Treat of Natural Flavours
Charade (1963) – Trust No One And Every One
This certainly was a film with twists upon twists and I am not sure how I will make a good enough summary and not spoil the plot completely. This is one of those movies where everything is a spoiler and there are so many twists upon twists that honestly if you figure out the plot … Continue reading Charade (1963) – Trust No One And Every One
The Daughter of Dawn (1920) – Authentic, Romantic and Throughly Enjoyable Piece of Film History
Much has been shown of the different Native/Indigenous American tribes and cultures in media by white Americans, from the caricatures and racist depictions of old Hollywood to the sympathetic but still a little "off" showings in films like Disney's Pocahontas and basically almost every depiction of Native/Indigenous American's in the 90s which always had to … Continue reading The Daughter of Dawn (1920) – Authentic, Romantic and Throughly Enjoyable Piece of Film History
Ocean’s 8 (2018) – Diamonds and Friends are a Woman’s Best Bet
This was a very fun movie! Not unexpectedly so, because heist movies are always fun, it's the thrill of it and the intelligence and bravery to pull those things off is very appealing. It's escapist and for once it's a cast full of entertainment's most influential women coming together in to this movie is wonderful … Continue reading Ocean’s 8 (2018) – Diamonds and Friends are a Woman’s Best Bet
