There was a time when I considered myself to be one of the people commonly known as Apple fanboys. And this despite the fact that the only products with an Apple logo on the back that I ever owned were exclusively iPods and iPhones. Nevertheless, I’ve held the brand and the lifestyle associated with it in the highest regard. Apple was synonymous for the creatives, for the artists and, above all, for freethinkers. Their products were excitingly different and always light years ahead of everyone else’s. I will probably always remember that sleepless night right before the delivery of my…

“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.

However, despite the updated technology, the creators of the show worked hard…
“The Witch” by Mark Korven

Through the decades, these kind of fairy tales have become firmly entrenched in people’s memories and have been retold…
“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!) ALIEN$ This is a rather popular story, but…
