“War has a way of distinguishing between the things that matter and the things that don’t.” (Matthew) Well, we’re back. The year is 1916 and we’re in the middle of the first World War. The stakes are high but still everything has […]
“I think there’s no one else in the all the world; there’s only you and me.” (Gillian) Okay, I’m not going to beat a dead horse for long, other reviewers have done this already. But please do allow me this short rant: […]
“How’s your thirst for adventure, Captain?” (Tintin) It should be no secret that I’m a Belgian. And, as is mandatory on our dictatorial catholic schools, where the whips are aplenty and fagging is still a hip new thing, I have read all […]
Monsters, Inc. is an amazing film. The first Pixar movie not to be directed by John Lasseter, it further consolidated the already wildly successful California-based computer animation studio, showing that it wasn’t just a one-genius operation. Monsters, Inc. let Pete Docter in […]
“How Nucky shoes be fitting these days?” (Chalky) If you say you didn’t see it coming, you’re pretty much blind. Sure, it’s HBO – if Boardwalk Empire were a network show, Angela’d been dead ages ago. But, even with HBO’s budgets, a […]

„Burt, fucking, Reynolds!?“ Reviewing a game like Saint’s Row: The Third might sound easy, but to me it’s a pretty hard thing to do. I’ve basically sunk 25 hours into a sandbox GTA-clone, 25 hours I spent running tanks out of airplanes, […]
“Got caught in the wrong cookie jar.” (Nucky) After having given it some thought, I’m absolutely stunned at the fact this episode was just as disjointed as I thought it was going to be. It’s obvious: in an episode with Nucky in […]
“Sybil is entitled to her opinions.” “No. She isn’t until she is married, then her husband will tell her what her opinions are.” (Lady Crawley and Violet) For an upstairs-downstairs type show, this episode of Downton Abbey spent a lot of time […]
“My brother. He’s smarter than you are. And a lot more dangerous.” (Eli) What an episode. What an episode! Sure, it was all set-up for the season’s final five episodes, but what a set-up it was! This was Boardwalk Empire as we’ve […]
