It feels like too many TV shows are killing off main characters, as if they were in the midst of an autumn streak –don’t worry, no big spoilers ahead.

The Day of the Doctor Review: Long Live Gallifrey
Matt Smith gets the funniest introduction of him and his name during the opening credits
Notice: this is going to be the least impartial review that I can possibly write. I was trying to be professional and talk about this objectively, but I gave up. I have been looking forward to this moment so badly that I have nothing mean to say. Continue reading

Homeland, You Better Get Back on Track Soon

Dracula “From Darkness to Light” Review: Wherefore Art Thou Not Cancelled Yet?
Four episodes into this show, its ridiculousness continues to amaze me, because I know this version of Dracula is the worst –believe me, that is the nicest word- and still, I can´t help but watch it every week. As if some part of me was expecting it to improve, but NO. This is NBC we´re talking about, and NBC doesn’t want to talk about those supernatural creatures that are so trendy right now, they want to talk about the Wall Street and Enron, yay! Continue reading
The Butler: A Historical Trip to Boredom
Free piece of advice to everyone: if you feel like going to the cinema to get some entertainment but you don’t know what to watch yet, do NOT choose The Butler. Continue reading
Gravity and the Music that Revolves Around it
Surreal stories require surreal surroundings, and that includes the music. The best way of composing a film score for something like Gravity is to give it a feeling of science fiction, which is precisely what Steven Price does. Continue reading
