american tv – One Book a Week

Big Little Lies (TV)

A while back, I attempted to read Liane Moriarty’s Big Little Lies (Big Little Lies – Liane Moriarty Book Review) and I wasn’t a big fan. I thought that maybe I wasn’t quite part of the target audience, maybe there was a saturation of mom-books on the market but I just couldn’t get myself to finishContinue reading “Big Little Lies (TV)”

BoJack Horseman on Death (Finale)

It is really, really hard for people to get endings right. It was a running joke in IT Chapter 2 and while the writers think it’s good, the legions of fans will soon come screaming and petitioning for a re-do as it wasn’t well done. Lost, Dexter and more recently Game of Thrones have diedContinue reading “BoJack Horseman on Death (Finale)”

American Gods Season 2

Gaiman’s a hell of a writer. Even with Anderson and Chenoweth gone, this is still a striking and deep ensemble. But the whole thing is hollow and dull. Fuller and Green’s vision of American Gods was far from perfect throughout, but it could be stunning in isolated moments or episodes, where the new season offersContinue reading “American Gods Season 2”

Call me by your name end speech from the dad

Coming out as gay is pretty hard to do. Crushing on the guy that’s working with your father is even worse. So I’ve watched the “Call me by your name” movie (2017) to complete my Oscar list from 2017 and I was pretty moved by the talk the dad had with his son at theContinue reading “Call me by your name end speech from the dad”

Dragged across concrete or the story of a cop-out

I was pretty excited to see “Dragged across concrete” with Mel Gibson. I had it on my watch list for about a month and tonight I decided to see it along with “Red Joan”. I go in and when the warning screen greets me I giggle with enthusiasm not felt since The Purge first cameContinue reading “Dragged across concrete or the story of a cop-out”

“I am” – Scene from Penny Dreadful.

I thoroughly miss this show and I wish it would have continued past the three very amazing seasons! VANESSA: “Mr. Clare.” “Miss Ives.” “Do you know you share your name with a dead poet?” “Yes.” “Do you like poetry?” “All sad people like poetry. Happy people like songs.” [BOTH CHUCKLE]

Hellboy 3 – 2019 – or the return of the turd from Hell

Did it stink? You betcha. Did I walk out of it? Yep. At the 1h mark from the 2h movie. Did I enjoy it in any way? NOPE. Stinker of the year: Hellboy 3. Last year it was The killing of the sacred deer and Ghost Movie (both very artsy). This year it’s Hellboy – andContinue reading “Hellboy 3 – 2019 – or the return of the turd from Hell”

Love, Death and Robots and how it took the Internet by storm. Digital Storm!

I am in absolute awe what this show has accomplished. Each episode (varying from 8 to 18min in length) is a piece of art with a lovely story and a twist that leaves you hanging. The humour is crude, the penises are on display and the jokes keep rolling. From existential meditation of humankind asContinue reading “Love, Death and Robots and how it took the Internet by storm. Digital Storm!”

Russian Dolls and Multiple Timelines Explained

I think I finally figured out a little something about how this world works. Since it was Groundhog day yesterday, I decided to give Netflix’s new show, “Russian Doll”, a go. I was pulled in an I must say I really liked it! It’s like a mix-up of Rick and Morty and Happy Death Day, and, ofContinue reading “Russian Dolls and Multiple Timelines Explained”

WTF Did I just watch? Sense8 in the mix

I love a good show and when Neflix baited Sense8 in front of my eyes for two months, I finally gave in. With 8.4 on IMDB, I was expecting a knock-out show but instead, what I got was liberal agenda. Shoved in my face. Every freaking episode. I was already sick of it by episodeContinue reading “WTF Did I just watch? Sense8 in the mix”
