The Irregulars Review (2021, Netflix)

In a teenage series with gore and sex, where Watson is also a dark-skinned asshole (it's not a matter of skin color, I'm sure there were enough dark-skinned people in England in the 19th century and Dr. Watson could well be from somewhere in colonial Africa or India). Netflix's Irregular Parts starts off quite cheerfully, but the pilot leaves a horrible impression - especially when you realize that this story of Holmes' unknown assistants, boys…

Resident Alien Review (2021, SyFy)

and is forced to pretend to be an ordinary earthling until he finds all the parts of his ship and will not fulfill the not entirely justified goal of his long journey - to kill all humans. The series deliberately does not deconstruct the genre, it just takes all the established genre clichés (humanoids, people in black, strangers among us, crazy ufologists, probes and abductions - you yourself have seen it all a million times…

Raya And The Last Dragon Review (2021)

And there is also a very charming unicorn dragon, who is sorely lacking screen time, she is so good. 😄 Go to the movies with your children - you will like it, the children will too (it is beautiful and not scary, similar to "Kung Fu Panda", only with people, a little deeper and explores the themes of loss, revenge, acceptance, forgiveness and unity as opposed to fragmentation and anger). On my own I will add…

Liara T'Soni from Mass Effect (Art)

Humble, smart and beautiful Liara T'Soni from worldwide famous sci-fi role playing game series "Mass Effect".  I love Liara, honestly. And who's not? And "Mass Effect" has affected on me quite much, it was a huge emogional adventure with a great story of rise and fall, loss and hope. "Mass Effect" is a part of us, I think. Made in Photoshop with Wacom One tablet. Here's some little breakdown of this artwork: As usual, it…

Russia at the beginning of the century. The economy is booming, a richer middle class is increasing its wealth, and industry is enriching itself with innovation.

Bridgerton Review (2020, Netflix)

This is an interesting project that works on several levels: on the one hand, the plot itself is quite classic: 19th century England, a secular society with balls and scandals, beautiful outfits, rich interiors and so on, but all this is presented with one assumption: what, if the king fell in love with a woman of a different skin color and racial equality happened not by the end of the 20th century, but earlier? This…

Bad movies (Dracula: Untold and Brightburn Review)

Первая - остроумная на уровне идеи, но не исполнения, зарисовка на тему "Что, если бы Супермен вырос злобным и всесильным подростком-убийцей". Сюжет очень простой: милая пара из Элизабет Бэнкс и бывшего парня Пэм из "Офиса" хочет ребеночка, но не получается; зато они находят его в капсуле после падения метеорита. Парнишка вырастает, но с пубертатом в нем просыпается ЗЛО, которому он не может противостоять, - и начинается дикая немотивированная жесть с убийствами близких по смехотворным причинам.
