Yesterday I got the chance to watch one of the most awaited movies this year, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. This the first DC Comics film this year, the second being Suicide Squad. As someone who liked Man of Steel a lot, I was really hoping that Zack Snyder will gives us another great…

The Good Dinosaur or when Pixar hit rock bottom
The Good Dinosaur is the latest Pixar animated feature film, unfortunately. It is also one of the nominees for an Academy Award for Best Animated Film, also unfortunately. It’s really hard to imagine that The Good Dinosaur came from the same company that released Inside Out just five months before in 2015, and has two…
The Wolf of Wall Street and Dante’s Inferno – Oscars 2014
If you guys have read the first part of Dante’s Divine Comedy which is “Hell” you will instantly see the reference in the title of this post. Greed, adultery, cheating, lust, orgies, hedonism and beyond, pumped up egos, betrayal, incest, there was not a single character that didn’t deserve to be at least in one of…
Her – critique to tech obsessed society – Oscars 2014
Imagine this, you are at your home, comfortably listening to music or whatever, when you whip out your smartphone and ask Siri or Google Now: “Hey, how’s it going?” and from there instead of the mildly robotic voices we are used to, you get entirely real, proffound human voice. “I am fine, thank you I am…
Is Gravity a science fiction movie?
My previous post was a little review on how impressed I was with the movie and there pretty confident I wrote that the movie “of course is science fiction”. But then it got me thinking, where was the science fiction in Gravity? What should one movie have in it to belong in sci-fi? Sure, there…
Today I watched Gravity – Oscars 2014
I just saw Gravity with Sandra Bullock and George Clooney, the movie as you all know has been nominated for Best Motion Picture and nine more nominations which makes it the movie with most nominations along with American Hustle. I honestly didn’t know what to expect from the movie, I knew some of the plot…
….This is the End
How was it you ask? Well, you are watching it and hope that that is the end, but it just isn’t. It’s like Seth Rogen had this idea about an apocalypse movie, but it wasn’t really a good idea, not even for a parody to which This Is The End aspires, so what was the…
Man Of Steel Blu-Ray disk released
…while I am somewhat unsure about my feelings towards Man Of Steel as a movie, I couldn’t be more glad to hear that the BR disk is out. The hit movie starring Henry Cavill and Amy Adams seems worthy enough to be seen at home in a perfect clear 1080p resolution. My favorite part: the…
…ongoing a Breaking Bad marathon
I buzzed through four season of the acclaimed show and can’t wait to see the end, yet I don’t feel the whole hype that revolves around Breaking Bad. Sure the actors are outstanding, Bryan Cranston is incredible no wonder he gets letters from Anthony Hopkins, and the rest of the cast falls no shorter. I…
…just saw the Oscars…
…and it was weird!? Firstly, Seth MacFarlane was the host and he wasn’t really all that funny, let’s say it was OK, but someone should have told him he isn’t hosting someones Roast. There were plenty of times were the audience didn’t know how to react, and walking of after “the next presenter doesn’t need…
today I watched “Africa” produced by BBC
Another amazing documentary series made by BBC One. It’s made in HD and the scenery is stunning. So far six episodes have been aired, each episode covering a specific habitat of the african continent. The desert Kalahari, the savannah in East Africa, the Cape, the Kongo rainforests and Sahara and the last episode was named…
…today I saw “Holy Motors”
Welcome to the theater of the bizarre! Even though it seems a weird movie with nine different stories that are not connected, there are in fact ten stories, the tenth being the one of the actor. Here’s what I make of he story [possible SPOILERS] I think that the story is set somewhere in near…
Fringe ended, it was emotional!
So the last Friday night in two episodes Fringe ended with it’s 100th episode. For me season one and season two were the best seasons, but somehow the show kept it’s appeal and watched it all the way to the end. What did we learn from it? It’s all about family.It all started with a…
…today I saw “Argo”
What can i say? Ben Affleck did it! He absolutely did it. Based on true events, that came into light some 17 years after “Argo” is a film about a CIA rescue mission of six employees of the American embassy in Iran in 1979. The rescue mission relies on a fake Canadian movie titled “Argo”,…
The Killing is back! Practically resurrected!
After the cancellation of the show which seemed rather definite there were rumors that the show will e back for another season but on another channel. It turns out AMC and Fox Television Studios gave it another chance. The third season of the show will star again Mireille Enos and Joel Kinnaman as detectives Linden…
