What You Do Is Who You Are “I don’t want you to be me, you just need to be you” – Chance The Rapper When the book “What You Do Is Who You Are” arrived here, I put all other titles on “pause.” Not because other books are lower quality (I started some excellent…
Dune (1984) “Dune” from 1984 is a cult science fiction film by David Lynch which, despite financial failure and mixed reviews, still maintains its fan base to this day Lynch lost control over the final cut of the film due to studio interference, and as a result the finished product never reflected his original vision…
Three Tiny Vials “Good afternoon, what would you like to drink?” She’s sweet. A slim blonde, maybe twenty-three, twenty-four at most. Probably works here part-time when she needs to, just enough to cover rent when it’s tight. I looked into her eyes and smiled politely. “A coffee would hit the spot right now. But I’ll…
Starting Over by Eleftherios Eleftheriadis is a collection of honest reflections on love, relationships, fears, and everyday struggles, written as letters to a close friend. From a Christian perspective, the author explores personal responsibility, humility, and inner peace without sugarcoating reality or promising easy solutions. The book reads like a friendly conversation over coffee and…
The Greatest Gift “A person is loved because a person is loved. Love needs no reasons” – Paulo Coelho Although the translated edition only recently appeared here, Paulo Coelho’s “The Supreme Gift” is his (quite) older work, published in 1991 (“The Alchemist,” for example, came out three years earlier). This work is, in a…
Cyberpunk Edgerunners “Cyberpunk Edgerunners” (at least I had that impression) just suddenly appeared on Netflix. If there was any hype around its announcement, I missed it. However, this isn’t bad news. Just as it unexpectedly appeared, it also (somewhat unexpectedly) won the sympathy of audiences and film critics. The series is set in the world…
Sly It’s interesting that “Sly” went in quite a different direction compared to the documentary series “Arnold.” While Schwarzy’s story was divided into three episodes each covering one (chronological) side of his personality, Sylvester Stallone decided on one, somewhat unusual, documentary film. “Sly” also starts in a somewhat unusual way, because we find Stallone as…
Men Without Women [Text started somewhere in spring 2017, preserved in original, without any changes] Haruki Murakami is a specific beast in the world of prose. People experience him either as a genius or as literature’s oddball. But the fact is his works leave no one indifferent. I consider myself his admirer. For me his…
By chance, while browsing IMDB, I stumbled upon a review of the film adaptation of Shusaku Endo’s book “Silence,” directed by Martin Scorsese. While some consider this to be Scorsese’s finest cinematic work, others deem it his longest and most tedious (though whether these critics have read the eponymous novel is perhaps another story)….
Yu Yu Hakusho There are some series that are simply good because they’re good, but you couldn’t explain why they’re good… in fact, you probably would know, but you simply don’t see the need. They don’t have to be classics (but most often they are), but you simply shrug and say they have “that” something.”…
