New discoveries #1

Because I've been away for a long time, I'd like to tell you a bit about some of the new discoveries I made in that time (cheating a bit, but I'll explain later) just to let you get an idea of what I've been watching, listening to etc. 

Music

I discovered quite a few artists over the last period, but I'd like to talk about three of them. Firstly there's a female singer from Italy. I got to know her through the Eurovision Song Contest last may and her name is ...

Review: Æon Flux – Karyn Kusama (2005)

A (relatively) short review this time. Not because there’s not much to say though! I wanna talk about a movie called Æon Flux, which was directed by Karyn Kusama. A short introduction: The movie was based on a series of animations made by Peter Chung that aired on MTV in the early nineties. It’s about this female assassin. The story of the film is based on that character.

The female assassin is played by Charlize Theron. The story takes place in a city in the future called Bregna. Apparently a long time ago there was a deadly virus which took out the whole population of planet earth, except those people who united in Bregna. This community has been living there under the authority of the Goodchild family for centuries, but there’s a rebel movement that wants to overthrow their regime.

Review: The Brothers Grimm - Terry Gilliam (2005)

About three days ago I watched this movie and since then there have been some moments in which an image of The Brothers Grimm came popping up in my head. I thought: why not write a review on this movie then! So here you go...

The movie was directed by Terry Gilliam, one of the guys from Monty Python and that you can definitely see (I’ll discuss that a little later).

Introducing my favourite movies (selection)

In my last post I talked about my favourite artists as a kind of introduction to my taste of music. Now it’s time to do the same thing with my favourite movies. Here’s a small selection, mostly arranged in categories:

I wanna start with a movie, that’s actually not a movie.

Introducing...

My name is Linda and I’m currently 21 years old. I started this blog to give you an insight in my two passions in life: music and movies. These passions basically emerged from the passion that my parents have for either music and movies. From when I was little there was almost always music playing in the house when we were home, music ranging from classical music to hard rock, from jazz to country. Out of that I have been developing my own musical preferences starting about five years ago, along with discovering some of my favourite movies.
