Squid Game A couple of years ago, all that was known about the series “Squid Game” was that it would be an unusual drama coming from South Korea… and that Netflix had its fingers in it (the series, not Korea). Since Netflix in recent years has been sticking its fingers in everything alive and thus…
Cowboy Bebop “Look at my eyes, Faye. One of them is a fake and I lost it in an accident. Since then, in one eye I see the past and in the other the present. And because of that I thought I could only see pieces of reality, never the whole picture” – Spike Spiegel…
More than 25 years have passed since legendary Ang Lee honored the world with his mystical dramatic wuxia treat “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.” The West fell silent before the appearance of this spectacle and saw that Asian cinematography is ready for the 21st century with its films where martial arts can quite successfully be…
Kingsman (The Secret Service & The Golden Circle) “Manners maketh man” – Harry Hart (Kingsman: The Secret Service) There are people with the initials J.B. who will always attract female (passionate) sighs. Imagine a scene. A man and a woman. In her room, sitting on her bed. The man with a gentle hand motion…
Time to return to one of my favorite topics, which is Japan, and the era of samurai. Can we? IKIMASHO! 😀 “Akō incident” (赤穂事件, Akō jiken) is one of those famous events that remain recorded in (not only Japanese, but world) history. The story of honor and loyalty of the 47 ronin, even at…

The Mandalorian (Season 2) “May the 4th be with you” – mantra of every STAR WARS nerd “The Mandalorian” is one of the rare series that managed to do three things. It managed to make the retarded year 2020 more bearable, showed it’s possible for a second season of a series to be better than…

So far we’ve hung out with him through his classic “American Gods” and the incredibly fun “Norse Mythology.” But now we’re going to, for a change, dive into an unusually fairy-tale-like (and slightly twisted) world… whose plot mostly takes place in a…
Fahrenheit 451 When I finished reading Ray Bradbury’s book, “Fahrenheit 451,” I wasn’t sure I could, like many, so easily award it the flattering title “masterpiece of the 20th century.” Does that mean the book is bad? Far from it! But for you to award a book such a title, several conditions need to be…
Goldfinger “Shaken, not stirred” James Bond If “Dr. No” introduced us to James Bond’s adventures, and “From Russia with Love” made it clear to us that J.B. is a serious player and that the film industry should pay close attention to this (then) new golden goose, “Goldfinger” set some standards and guidelines that future…
