“The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance” by Daniel Pemberton, Samuel Sim

Netflix’s The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance series, which premiered in 2019, is a prequel to the 1982 film, The Dark Crystal. The series, which consists of ten episodes, is set in the same universe as the original movie and is filled with fascinating characters, creatures, and an intricate storyline. One of the most significant differences between the new series and the original is the use of advanced technology. While the original film used puppetry and animatronics, Age of Resistance uses a mix of practical effects and modern CGI. However, despite the updated technology, the creators of the show worked hard…

“The Witch” by Mark Korven

Imagine you’re a child again, sitting around a campfire late at night wrapped in a blanket while someone tells you a scary story. One of those tales that usually happened a long time ago to someone who knew someone… you know how it goes. As you listen closely, a story unfolds in your head, which seems as if it were true, yes, as if the narration could have happened. You do believe that it might actually have happened! Over the years, these kind of fairy tales have become firmly entrenched in people’s memories, being retold from generation to generation and…

“Bones and All” by Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross

I really don’t know how they do it, but Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross have once again delivered a fantastic score that adds another nuance to their already considerable repertoire after David Fincher’s Mank and the HBO’s Watchmen series, to name only a few. Both as a film and as a soundtrack, Bones and All is more than the sum of its parts. Horror meets coming-of-age meets romance meets social drama. The score captures all of these aspects in an incredibly compelling way, as the soundtrack album is bookmarked with four absolutely stunning variations on the beautiful main motif, led…

“Avatar” & “Avatar: The Way of Water” by James Horner, Simon Franglen

I don’t really have an awful lot to say about this blog post or its custom covers. And I also don’t feel like adding my opinion on the Avatar movies to the thousands of reviews and essays already out there. So instead I thought I’d just share some random trivia that I’ve picked up over the last few days while researching James Cameron and his filmography. Welcome to watchmojo dot com, I’m heidl and here are ten incredible facts you didn’t know about director mastermind James Cameron. (No.6 will make you cry!)

“Nope” by Michael Abels, Various Artists

Finally, after over two and a half years, I went to the movies again, and it couldn’t have been a better homecoming than with Jordan Peele’s Nope. The film tells the story of a remote horse ranch in the California back country called Haywood Hollywood Horses where strange things are happening. Clutter is falling from the sky, electronic equipment is failing regularly, and the horses are acting increasingly startled. It’s only when the ranch owners set up security cameras in the valley that they realize the real danger is lurking behind the clouds. This rather simple premise is unfolding a…
