The death of Prince Philip at the age of 99, and 2 months short of 100, marked the passing of one of the most enduring figures in centuries of British monarchy. As a tribute to his remarkable personality, I wanted to dra

Happy New Year 2021! Since the vacination process against COVID-19 has now started in many countries around the world, I thought it would be a good and more optimistic time to look into some pandemic or epidemic centric
If you happen to be stuck at home these days - after all, who isn't? - you may want to spend a few evenings watching Christmas films. While it doesn't feel like it, due to the lack of Christmas market and almost empty st
It’s the time of the year when I usually make predictions about the films to look for during the award season of early next year – but this has not been an ordinary year, that’s for sure. We have had only a handful of ma
Suspense in cinema has been around for as long as there have been movies, but some might say it is a little bit of a lost art these days. Indeed, if you look at modern horror movies, which all too often rely on jump scar
