I have listened to two episodes of the Theme Time Radio Hour with Bob Dylan and I must say it was really good. It was a nice mix of music and Bob’s commentaries between songs are informative and funny. It feels like this is something he really enjoys doing and has put a lot of thought [...]

My first day off from work in a while and I have a cold. It is sunny outside so what better way to spend the day than to watch a movie called Sunshine. This is a movie by director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland. I had heard a lot of nice things about this movie on two separate movie [...]

The Hollywood Saloon is a great podcast about movies and the big world around them. The show is hosted by Andy and John. The two hosts are excellent and are obviously very educated and passionate when it comes to movies. But they are not only academically interested in movies but also huge movie fans.
The shows are often based around different [...]

I watched this movie called The Brothers Solomon yesterday. When I first read about this movie it was compared to A Night at the Roxbury and Dumb & Dumber. We get to follow these two looser brothers with the biggest hearts. The movie was written by Will Forte, the brother on the right.
It was pretty good. Not [...]

TV in the 80s

Was TV better in the 80s? When I look at this picture and have to say…

I am not sure…
I remember watching the tv series V when I was a kid and it was really exciting. I am not sure if I will enjoy it as much today. But I do enjoy this image, a sexy [...]

Inspired by Steven Jay Schneider’s book “1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die”
# 994
Artist: Mike Oldfield
Title: Incantations
Year: 1978
This is one of my favourite albums by one of my favourite artists. It is perhaps not one of his most well known work like Tubular Bells or the hit Moonlight Shadow. The music, arrangements and harmonies on this is [...]

I watched an episode of Futurama called “Bendin’ in the wind”. There was this hillarious bit with the musical duo Cylon and Garfunkel singing “Scarborough Fair”.
Perfect harmony?
