Mesto za one koji su u potrazi za dobrom kafom, knjigom, filmom, serijom, anime i energijom
After her boyfriend announces he’s marrying someone else, twenty-five-year-old Takako quits her job and takes up her eccentric uncle Satoru’s offer of the tiny room above his second-hand bookshop in Tokyo’s Jimbocho district. There, among the stacks of old books, at the Saveur coffee shop and in the company of new friends, she slowly rediscovers…
The Last Wish (The Witcher – Book 1) “People like to invent monsters and monstrosities. Then they seem less monstrous themselves. When they get blind-drunk, cheat, steal, beat their wives, starve an old woman, when they kill a trapped fox with an axe or riddle the last existing unicorn with arrows, they like to think…
Do you remember my objective review of the series “Firefly” (“In case you don’t remember, you wrote the review so ‘objectively’ and ‘professionally’ that everyone thought someone paid you… which is even sadder for you, no one pays you for this embarrassment on your blog…” – note of the subconscious)? Well, we’re just going…
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 Hard Thing About Hard Things “I ask my children: what is the difference between a hero and a coward? There is no difference. It’s only what they do that differs. They both feel the same. They’re both scared of losing their lives or getting seriously injured. The coward refuses to face the inevitable. The…
Castlevania “Vampires. You like to play with your food” – Hector Vampires are always an interesting idea in any media form, starting from books and comics, to films and (anime) series. A bit of fear, a bit of creepiness, a bit of horror, lots of blood and there’s fun… for lovers of such genre,…
As time marches on, I am increasingly convinced that people harbor unrealistic expectations when it comes to books in the field of what I’ve dubbed ‘populogy’ (a term I’ve coined for “popular psychology”… maybe I should trademark it?). Books are literally receiving negative reviews with comments like “nothing new” or “I already know all…
Knowing that the film “Blade Runner 2049” is slowly but surely approaching, I came up with the idea to watch the first part in the coming period. I watched it a long time ago, as a kid, and it remained in my memory as a “cool” movie, but I believe there are films that…
First Person Singular There are some writers you simply either love or don’t. I’d say Haruki Murakami is one of those writers. When you start reading him for the first time, I think page twenty-something is decisive, and then you declare his (any) novel strange and incomprehensible… or it enchants you and draws you into…
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…
