I am watching a lot of movies and some triggers feelings which I express on this blog. It’s only based on personal experience and knowledge so please feel free to comment and share your thoughts, correct me when I’m wrong (I do like to write things from the top of my head without verifying, although Google is one tab away).
Another thing I like to do is come back to old articles and update them. For example, I saw a movie in 2012. But I have re-seen it recently (eg Anonymous) and I wanted to add a couple of ideas to the article. So, if you follow my blog on Social Media and see that I’m reposting something that you already saw, It might worth to check it.
Movies, alongside music and literature, can make this world a better place.
I know Raiders of the Lost Ark is a landmark in pop culture – it didn’t influence me (or most of my friends, growing up). I started watching the Dial of Destiny and I’ve closed it after the first 10 minutes. I simply couldn’t anymore. It felt like the last 20 minutes of Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One – … Read more
Icarus, a character from the Greek mythology, died because he flew too close to the sun. Interesting choice of name for a spaceship that needs to deliver a payload that will revive dying sun. One should be not surprised to learn that the mission of Icarus failed. So, humanity sends its last chance mission with the … Read more
Many can say what they want, but one thing is not up for debate – Ridley Scott knows how to shoot a fighting scene. Within the first minutes – the horse and the cannonball – tell you you’re up for some visual masterpieces. I instantly remembered The Duel and how I thought at that moment … Read more
It’s long, starts slow, but picks up towards the end. It’s a movie worth seeing, but this raises another question: can you rewatch Killers of the Flower Moon? Or The Irishman? Don’t look up? Or that movie where Leo got the Oscar for (I can’t even remember the name)? Or The Joker, for that matter? … Read more
15 years ago (already?) I was sitting in my recording studio, and while others were working on a beat, I had this vision of a movie called Goat’s Revenge (Razbunarea caprei in Romanian), a movie based on a folk tale we grew up with. I quickly searched online to re-read it, and it was certainly … Read more
In 1995 I was 9 years old and I went to the cinema (with dad, obviously) to watch my favourite actor at the time (Jim Carey) playing my favourite villain (The Riddler) from my favourite superhero franchise (Batman). It was like a dream come true, to have your favourite actor play your favourite character. Obviously, … Read more
Hollywood has a future. I can’t remember the last I was so excited to see a new movie coming out (well, probably Mortal Kombat and still hope for Batman). The anticipation was worth it. As opposed to the other movies that somehow got me interested (Old -like, The Many Saints of Newark – dislike), I … Read more
One thing is for sure – as good as HBO is for series (roughly 8 out of 10 are amazing) – they can’t produce a film. It’s been like that since… forever? Deadwood was essentially an extra extended episode of the series – no closure, no turnover, nothing. But The Sopranos prequel, The Many Saints … Read more
