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.

Dark Review (2017 - 2020, Netflix)

Netflix's German science fiction series 'Dark' is a brain blast. we watch them and their decisions at different ages - and everything becomes much more complicated when you realize that this is a story about time travel, time loops and inevitability fate, when everything you do to stop evil only brings it closer. Do we have freedom of choice or is it the same illusion as the directionality of time (which, according to Einstein, exists…

Terminator: Dark Fate Review (2019)

With all the credit of trust and low expectations with which you start watching, at the end you are left with the question: "So … and why did I watch all this?" The previous film, "Genesys", although it also repeated a lot from the legendary first two films (the second, "Doomsday", is generally a masterpiece, a reference action movie and not the stupidest thriller), but approached this creatively, rewriting the rules, deceiving expectations viewer (at…

The Gone World by Tom Sweterlitsch Book Review

An abrupt start may even be frightening, and the main idea (a journey into a potential future in order to solve a crime in the present present), even if at first it seems not entirely plausible, but within the framework of the world of the book, it convincingly works. In general, this is a very multi-genre work - based on an almost mundane story of the investigation of a brutal murder in 1997 with the…

Spock (Star Trek)

Live long and prosper… Spock Vulcan Spock from the famous Star Trek show and sci-fi film series (the old ones, before the Abrams reboot, were very good - although his new films are also quite nothing for adrenaline-fueled sci-fi action films at one time, which is for Star Trek, however, not very good). A cool character played by Leonard Nimoy - half human, half Vulcan, exploring his humanity and seeking a balance between mind and…

Liara and Shepard (Mass Effect)

I continue to get used to drawing with a tablet. It seems that something is starting to work out. This time, I decided to choose one of my favorite video game heroines - Liara T'Soni, an alien archaeologist from the Mass Effect series. When I started sketching, I realized that it was impossible to do without the main character, Captain Shepard himself / herself (especially since my wife and I always choose a female protagonist…

Conquerors of the Planets (Single, 2020)

The first musical composition made after a break of several years. In this track, I tried to combine several visual styles (2010`s trap and 1980`s beats) and convey the poetics of early 50`s science fiction. Perhaps it will make a whole small album. Below is the YouTube version of this song. Do you think it is worth making a full-fledged animated clip on it (now I used archival footage from NASA)?
