Bio
So, to put it simply (and slightly cheesily) I'm fascinated with life. And, well, writing about films, TV shows, video games, music, travelling, philosophy and Formula 1 among other is a fun way to explore it.

A Meaningful Glance — 5 Short Moments in Movies When So Little Told Us So Much
In movies, a single look can say more than a thousand words... or than a tedious amount of plot exposition. Therefore, trying to explain everything, that is going on, in form of lenghty dialogues, monologues, narrations or even flashbacks might not always be the best way to approach a story. It can seriously bog the pacing of the movie down and make the audience feel that they are being treated like idiots. Often, a single glance is all that is needed to tell us something important about the story and the characters.

Is There Such a Thing as Too Much Creative Control for a Filmmaker?
Though some would argue otherwise, movies are a form of art. And what else is art than expression of one's vision brought to reality to offer enjoyment? Therefore, it's important that the vision is brought to reality uninterrupted, pure and raw. In the case of movies, the way the filmmaker imagines a movie, is the way it should be brought to reality.

Movie Stars Doing Their Own Stunts: Requirement or a Nice Bonus?
When watching a movie, we want to be as immersed in it as possible. That requires us to believe what we see on the screen. If one does not believe the action seen on screen, the viewer will not be fully immersed in a movie. Action must feel authentic. That, in turn, requires the stunts to be believable. And what can be more convincing than the actor or actress doing them personally.

5 Brilliant Comedy TV Shows You Might Have Not Seen
It's all subjective of course, but usually the best comedy is one that goes out of the norm a bit and doesn't make compromises. Therefore, popularity and quality of comedy don't always go hand in hand. As is the case with the following 5 examples. Bare in mind that all of these shows have met a certain level of popularity and definitely have a fanbase, but most are just a tiny bit out of the mainstream or, perhaps, slightly forgotten. Let's take a look!

Droids In Star Wars — The Untapped Potential
After having recently watched Her and Ex Machina - two brilliant but also very different movies on artificial intelligence (AI), the subject has wondered around my mind for the past few days. And since Star Wars is almost always somewhere at the back of my mind, it was only a matter of time until the two subjects met and I started thinking about artificial intelligence in Star Wars - Droids.

Are We Still Reaching for the Stars? The Decline of the Movie Star Phenomenon
There has been an awakening... well for quite many years actually. The awakening in question is that people don't go to see movies solely because of a famous actor or actress attached to it anymore. Instead, the focus has shifted more from going to see movies for their starts to going to see movies because of their link to a franchise, their source material, director, the ideas behind them (perhaps even most importantly), critic reviews and so on. Who is acting in them, has become just one of the many factors and not the most important one.

Why Alden Ehrenreich Is an Inspired Choice for the 'Han Solo' Spin-off
To be completely fair, I have not been that pumped up about the upcoming young Han Solo movie as the next Star Wars spin-off. Not to give a wrong vibe here, since Han Solo is one of my favourite movie characters and I see no reason why this movie hasn't got the potential to be awesome. But there are also some potential problems that are likely to come along with the spin-off of young Han Solo, that have caused me to curb my enthusiasm.

My Observations on Movie Franchises Part Two: How To Kickstart a Franchise When It Has Lost Its Way
In the last article I focused on some of the lesson' s learned from two great movie trilogies on what to keep in mind, when building a franchise and how to approach the beginning, the middle and the conclusion of it. But what about a situation where the problem is not setting up a franchise or concluding it, but getting it properly moving again. Lets look at three examples, where a franchise has been successfully kickstarted and what we can learn from them.

Role Playing in Racing Games
Why would anyone talk about a subject that sounds as stupid as that... let alone write an article? Role playing in racing games is a subject that has not been discussed a lot and probably for a good reason - there really is nothing to discuss, since in racing games, it is the driving experience that counts. Yet, in light of the news that F1 2016 is going to get a massive 10 season career mode that was completely missing from the 2015 game and drawing from my own history with racing games, I came to a conclusion that it is an aspect of gaming that has a demand and it's own useful function.

"I'm More of a Behind the Scenes Kind of Guy" — Video Game Characters Who Deserve Their Own Spin-off
As the world of gaming has evolved to more and more ambitious levels, so have their stories. Although, a video game is an interactive way to tell a story with a different focus compared to movies, TV and books, it doesn't mean its characters and story must suffer because of it and game developers have understood it. Therefore, through the years, we have gotten some memorable supporting players that have potential to stand on their own and who are popular with the fans.
