Stitchers Season 1 Finale - Did Cameron DIE?

Last night's "Stitchers" finale brought a roller coaster of emotions with it. Coming closer to solving the unknown mystery about the stitchers programme and her mother's and father's involvement within that programme, Kirsten also gets to see blasts from the (or should I say her) past. And finally,  one of the most important questions all "Stitchers" fans are asking themselves - is Cameron dead or alive? As Cameron (Kyle Harris) and Detective Fisher (Damon Dayoub) get shot, leaving Fisher in ICU due to internal bleeding, Cameron makes the ultimate sacrifice to help ID'ing the shooters accomplice - he stops his own heart.  Kirsten FINALLY knows about Camerons feelings Cameron planned on stopping his heart for 4 minutes, giving Kirsten (Emma Ishta) a 3 minute window to stitch into her partner in crime. During the stitch she got to see Cameron's most precious memories, which (to her surprise) all involved her. "I had no idea" she...

Film review: "Jenny's Wedding" (2015)

"She's always been so secretive." "Not when she was little. She was really open when she was little." "Yeah, she was. I wonder what happened." "Who knows?" What happened is that I watched a really good movie. And the thing is, I've never seen one quite like it. Nowadays the entertainment industry produces hundreds, if not thousands of movies or TV shows that are just made to address the mainstream crowd. They are purely there, to make money, not to tell a story. So finding a unique movie, one, that addresses things that people can relate to, that has an actual story behind it and has meaning is very difficult. And from time to time, I stumble upon a movie with an interesting description, thinking it might actually be good. And surprisingly, I found Jenny's Wedding to be good.  The Story Jenny, who has always been the favourite child in her family, finally decides she wants to get married. Her family has been p...

Stitchers on ABC Family - Top or Flop?

The new ABC Family drama, "Stitchers", tells the story of a young college student named Kirstin Clark, who gets recruited by a secret government agency due to her special "condition".  She has a medical condition called "temporal dysplasia" which describes the inability to feel the passage of time. Therefore she can only know how much time has passed through maths, stopwatches and observation. (For people who are curious about this condition, it was made up for the show, so NO, there is no such thing in "real life") So, what does this secret agency do exactly? They hack into recently deceased murder victims brains to find out what happened to them. They - or rather Kirstin - can access those peoples memories and feelings by "stitching". The agency is a group of highly intelligent people in different ares, one being neuroscientist Cameron Goodkin. Other important organisation members include Maggie Baptiste, the leader of the agenc...

iZOMBIE - will the CW have the brains to pull this off?

Hello fellow movie, book and TV-show lovers!  This "wizard post" (yes, I've decided to give my posts a name) will be about the new tv-show on the up and up - iZombie. With only the first few episodes already out there, the CW has done a great job with this show. It has been a rising success, fans were already excited to see the show before it came out. The series is based on the comics with the same name and has already been renewed for a second season on May 6th. The shows two main executive producers, Rob Thomas and Diane Ruggiero-Wright, also known for the show "Veronica Mars" have so far done a good job - but can they keep it that way? First of all, lets talk about the acting. The main protagonist, Liv, is played by Rose Mclver. Her performance is captivating, making it a good show for teenagers, but also a great piece of entertainment for adults. Scary zombies (example: "The Walking Dead") are not really portrayed in iZombie. Mclver makes ...

Disconnect (2012) Film Review (No Spoilers!)

"Disconnect" is a techno-thriller directed by Henry Alex Rubin starring Jason Bateman,    Alexander Skarsgård, Hope Davis, Paula Patton,  Frank Grillo ,  Andrea Riseborough ,   Michael Nyqvist ,  Max Thieriot and Marc Jacobs (yes, Marc Jacobs as in the fashion designer). It's packed with a lot of drama, putting social media in the foreground and the problems that it can/has caused nowadays. The internet can connect - but sadly it can also disconnect, as we get to see in this drama.  I'm not going to talk all professional with you, whoever you may be, because this film was just so powerful. I saw it maybe a month  ago and I can't stop thinking about it. It makes me question everything I put on the internet, it makes me even a little paranoid when I look at my laptop (could someone be watching?), it makes me be more careful and I find myself looking at technology with a new distrust. It is thrilling, intense and so real. So, if...

WHEN DID THE VAMPIRE DIARIES GO BAD?

As a former Vampire Diaries fan, I can tell you that I am really disappointed. The Vampire Diaries used to be filled with twists and excitement, but nowadays it's just purely become about the couples. I'm not saying I didn't ship Delena or Stelena, both pairs were/are unique. But now, the writers are giving most of the fans exactly what they want, which can make a show boring, as fans need to have something to talk about.  Where did the writers go wrong? Honestly, it took a while to figure that one out. I mean obviously, as stated beforehand, the couples have become the centre of the show, leaving the storyline to tag along in the background. It's a shame because from season 1-3 the story was pretty good. I mean there was the classic unoriginal love triangle, but who doesn't like some old fashioned? Sure, you could argue that it was cliché and all that, but every show has a bit of mainstream in it. How else would they get people to watch?  Still, som...

The 100: Bellarke or Clexa?

In honour of the 100 Season 2 finale and all of the 100 fans, I've decided to share my opinion about two of the couples on the show - Bellarke and Clexa. Some of you are Bellarke shippers, some of you like Clexa, but I'm currently not quite sure which to choose. Do I have to pick a side? 1. Bellarke Ever since the show started, people have been shipping these two leaders. They have always found a way to make things work, have excellent teamwork and both of them have really grown to depend on each other. And then there are the books, written by Kass Morgan, on which the whole show is loosely based on, where all Bellarke scenes are just truly  magical . Book fans started the hype and now the majority of the fandom is on their toes to see what will happen with these two. For myself, I can say that I am too.  Never the less, Jason Rothenberg (the shows producer) doesn't really seem to bother that much about Bellarke. Of course it's understan...
