This movie is very difficult to find where I live but after I have fallen in love with the brilliant series and all the other works that David Lynch has done, I was really looking forward to watch this prequel that many professionals had heavily criticized....
This is movie is somewhat a modern version of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet or a mixture of movies such as "Bonnie & Clyde", "The wizard of Oz" and David Lynch's previous "Blue velvet". It is a road movie about unconditional love and how a relationship...
Lords of Black is a Spanish heavy metal quartet that deserves more acclaim, approval and attention than it has gotten so far. All four members have been or are still involved in numerous interesting bands and projects. Bassist Daniel Criado was once involved...
Wrath of Daimajin is the third, final and best entry in the Japanese franchise about the ancient demon god who protects his disciples from cruel injustices. In this movie, a group of lumbermen have been kidnapped by the henchmen of an evil lord who is...
After three years of silence "The Dogma" are back with a new album and this one is more diversified than anything these guys have ever done and shows us that they do not only perform dark Symphonic Metal or traditional Power Metal but also excellent hard...
Progressive thrash metal pioneers Voivod have often walked off the beaten path to surprise their fans from all around the world with unconventional ideas. Even four decades into its career, Voivod still manages to take us by surprise with the release...
This last album with the legendary Sabine Dünser who collapsed during a rehearsal for this record is a dark and melancholic testament with a more or less important conceptual story. The positive thing is that the songs also work as single tracks and this...
“Bruchstücke – Zehn Raritäten aus der In Extremo-Privatsammlung“ is a short compilation issued with the German Metal Hammer magazine in support of the "Kunstraub“ record and includes ten rare or unreleased tracks. While this collector’s item is a nice...
In Extremo is not only the most famous medieval rock outfit but also one of Germany’s most spectacular live bands. It’s impressive to see the seven members on a well decorated stage while they perform exotic instruments such as davuls, harps, mandolin,...
I am probably one of the only people that didn't watch the movie because they like the music of Pink Floyd but rather because of its cinematographic art and surreal approach. I must admit that this movie is a true piece of art and interesting for any...
"Blue velvet" is probably the movie that is the easiest one to approach by still coming quite close to the typical trademarks of David Lynch's art of directing. It reunites the accessibility of "Dune" and "Wild at heart" with the weird surrealism of "Lost...
Most bands who have taken the decision to record beloved early records again have failed miserably. The worst cases in the metal scene might be the infamous re-recordings by heavy metal veterans Manowar. Harakiri for the Sky is one of the few bands that...
"The unexpected", well, it is true that you can't expect that you only have thirty-three minutes of a brand new band's music if you buy an album at the full price. If we don't consider the Japanese and European bonus tracks on the limited edition (that...
This is one of the most interesting thrillers I have seen in quite a while. The acting is quite good ans especially authentic, the story of the murderer is gripping, the conditions at the time when the movie takes place are different, unusual and mostly...
Japanese female power metal quintet Lovebites has rightfully gotten quite some attention in recent years. The four ladies don't only have stylish looks but impress with technically appealing musicianship and fast execution that would even make groups...
Lost Not Forgotten Archives: The Majesty Demos (1985-1986) is the sixth release of Dream Theater's Lost Not Forgotten Archives that goes into its second year of existence. This collection of demos has been published for the first time nineteen years ago...
I know that one shouldn't take this kind of movies too serious and the main public of this kind of films might still be twelve year old boys and girls that are excited to see a movie with many sexual allusions, exaggerated gore scenes and absurd slapstick...
This is another well done French film noir with a rather dramatical touch. But instead of presenting us ugly events or the worst case scenario, the movie plays in a very intelligent way with wrong expectations, fatal illusions and terrible fears. The...
This movie is a pleasant offering for any fan of Japanese cinema and weird mystery movies. I just gave this movie a try because I was attracted by the strange cover of a naked woman and a press text on the back that compared this movie to the works of...
This is without the glimpse of a doubt David Lynch's weirdest and most experimental movie. But as it hasn't the atmosphere of "Lost highway", the heavy intensity of "Fire walk with me" and the progressive and artistic inspiration of "Erasderhead", it...
David Lynch's first full length movie is one of the rare movies that has been extremely weird, progressive and simply different that have reached a certain cult status and given the occasion to a brilliant genius and director to do a professional career....
Return of Daimajin is the second film in the trilogy about the great demon god that combines elements of period dramas and giant monster movies. In this shortest movie of the series, an evil lord menaces, destroys and conquers two neighbouring villages...
This last part of the series is a good ending even though this flick is not as strong as the third part that surprised with a great acting and many original ideas. I must also admit that some of the movies that are parodied in here are not amongst my...
I really happen to like experimental and surreal movies and I was looking forward to watch this flick. It's an eerie and dark movie settled in many untouched and dark landscapes and featuring brutal, pitiless and stupid men that work against each other...
Historical drama with depth and grit While everbody seems to be going crazy over Christopher Nolan's new science-fiction epic Tenet, I must admit that I have prefered Chinese historical military drama The Eight Hundred a little bit more. The movie tells...
