There are many articles written about John Wick movies that concentrate on the world-building of these three movies and more upcoming spin-offs, sequels and even a TV show. John Wick is revolutionary in many ways and yet it pays a homage to previous cinematic works (Asian action cinema, westerns and black-and-white movies). The John Wick... Continue Reading →
Halloween special – Don’t Breathe
It's Halloween folks and we all know what that means. I am too old for trick-or-treating, I am too lazy for a costume party and I don't play many horror themed video games, so only option for me is a horror movie. Before even starting writing this article, I had a few ideas for an article... Continue Reading →
About Remakes Part II: Movies I Would Like Being Remade
Among all these movies getting remakes, there is one, or better two movies, which I think would be a perfect remake now considering all of what happened to their franchises.

The best scene is John's final breakdown in tears and I wont even try... Continue Reading →
It: Chapter Two / Review
It (or It: Chapter One) was one of the most surprising movies of 2017, I honestly didn’t expect it to be as good as it was and that’s saying a lot. I was nervous from depiction of Pennywise, child actors, possible reliance on CGI and unbearable eighties nostalgia. To see that I was wrong on... Continue Reading →
Terminator – A franchise that should stay dead
Terminator is a franchise that I would describe as a “zombie franchise, no matter how many wounds it suffers, it always comes back and slowly stumbles back to you ready to eat your brain.” Almost every time I hear about any new Terminator movie, my reaction to towards is: “Oh good, another Terminator movie, didn't...

When did Game of Thrones died?
Game of Thrones used to be one of the greatest TV shows of its time, seasons one to four are amazing and I would be lying if I said that seasons five and six hadn't their moments of greatness. A lot of speculations appeared targeting when it happened, when Game of Thrones died and when... Continue Reading →
A Paragon of Her Kind – My favorite mission in Dragon Age: Origins
There are many excellent missions and quests in Dragon Age: Origins. When I was writing my review of Dragon Age: Origins I realized that there is a lot I didn't mentioned in my original article and in my own words: “I only scratched the surface”. Well, today I decided to fix it and just focus on... Continue Reading →
