I’m writing an article about a band I used to love and their old songs make me feel lost somewhere in the past. I don’t know why, but I’m getting emotional when I think of those bitter-sweet times of my early adolescence, when there was no Youtube to look for their songs and videos, but […]
One of the games that I accidentally stumbled across after I have acquired a better laptop with more powerful graphics was Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. I was intrigued by the story, the graphics, the music and, of course, the voicing parts. Not being included in the whole Castlevania series, this game stands out by the […]
When it comes to Once Upon a Time, there are many things I admire and quite a few that I dislike (or hate, it depends on what we are talking about). But there is one aspect I absolutely love: the soundtrack. There are so many stories presented in the show, but I think that the […]
Allow me to return to Tim Burton‘s poems. Let us speak today about The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy. If you’ve seen even one of his films, get ready to step into a world similar to those shown on TV. It’s a strange universe, where you encounter children who are human(ish). Special people, if you […]

Let’s go together,” says Pooh, says he. “Let’s go together,” says Pooh. “What’s twice eleven?” I said to Pooh. (“Twice what?” said […]
