Just as I was scrolling through Twitter I saw the headline from Rolling Stone Magazine: New documentary about Michael Jackson molesting two boys.
My thoughts: Jesus, the man has been dead for 10 years, why this now?
In later updates I realized the two "boys" were Wade Robson and James Safechuck, two men who didn't know they were molested before 1. Michael Jackson had been dead for 4 years and 2. they turned 30 and went bankrupt.
Do I know if Michael was guilty or not? I would like say no since I wasn't there and I have never met him, the truth is I have done my research for 14 years now. I have followed the case since the 2005 trial and I have read every single court file available, I don't blame others for not doing the same since it is over 300 pages of very boring stuff, however it is important! I will add a few links at the bottom of this page, but it is difficult to cut 14 years of investigation down to one blog post, but I will not shut up.
The truth is this slanderous "documentary" is one-sided and no one other than people believing Michael Jackson was guilty were interviewed and why? The director Dan Reed admitted he did not want another narrative! How can that even be called a documentary?
I have not watched Leaving Neverland myself, I have only watched a few clips and I have seen a VERY disturbing clip with Robson and Safechuck LAUGH at the questions they were asked!
As a sexual assault survivor myself I just can't relate, how can that be laughable??
https://twitter.com/The_Kings777/status/1088969350198054914
They mock true sexual abuse victims and they are getting paid a huge amount of dollars for making up a twisted story with gathered pieces from a pro-pedophilia book, check out this thread: https://twitter.com/Hammertonhal/status/1085620426536112129
Wade Robson swore under oath in 2005 that Jackson had never touched him. He claims that he did NOT know what abuse was at the time though he was 23 at the time and prosecutor Tom Sneddon asked specific questions like "did he touch you there," "did he do that," etc.
Later he changed the story and said he was "embarrassed" to talk about it, well, lying under oath is ILLEGAL, so why isn't he locked up yet?
The latest abuse allegations were made by a man named Michael Jacobshagen, a man who once wrote a book about his friendship with Jackson and absolutely claimed that nothing inappropriate happened - again he was an adult when he wrote that book!
However, the man is very disturbing and unreliable and I would like for more people to spread the truth, so please read and share this thread: https://twitter.com/juliejksn/status/1090304785763524608
As to go back to where I started, Wade Robson has always defended Jackson in any given opportunity, Jackson was present at his wedding and Robson had only beautiful speeches to Michael after his passing. He even contacted Jackson's family and asked for tickets to his funeral, he paid multiple tributes to him and danced along Janet Jackson wearing a glove Michael Jackson had once given him saying that he felt closer to Jackson when wearing that glove, at this time he was 27. He applied for a job for the new Michael Jackson show called MJ One, which is placed in Las Vegas. He spoke as like he got the job but John Branca who is ruling the MJ estate told him that another person got the job instead.
With his economy going down he had a nervous breakdown and went to visit a psychologist in neither of these meetings did he mention sexual abuse.
All of a sudden "his memories were refreshed" and he tried to sue the MJ Estate for millions of dollars but the case was dismissed.
There are so many loose ends to this, why weren't his "memories refreshed" during the trial in 2005 when multiple claims about child molestations were constantly up for questioning? Tom Sneddon who would sell his soul to the Devil just to get Jackson convicted and did everything in his power to create false "victims" tried to make Robson confess so why didn't he?
So I was asked a very detailed question on Twitter: Why would Wade Robson put his life on the line just to get money? His son's life? with all the DANGEROUS MJ fans sending him dead threats!!
The answer is yes, I do believe that and why? Because Evan Chandler and Janet Arvizo got away with it. He knows they are empty threats and no one will harm him or his child. Robson went public in 2013 and he is STILL alive so yes, they are empty threats and yes, his motive is easy cash.
The same goes for Safechuck.
The more people lie about sexual abuse, the less cases will be taken seriously. My own personal case was never opened and never brought to justice so a guilty man is right now walking around and who knows when he will strike again? I still suffer to this day and only a very few people actually believes me. The #MeToo movement began as a serious and important movement but is now being abused by greedy people. I'm shocked, sick and sad.
Pleas STOP Leaving Neverland from airing around the globe! Michael Jackson was proven innocent by court and law and let us settle with that. The man was brought down and mocked cruelly by the whole world and in the end it killed him.
I am not writing this as a Michael Jackson fan - I am writing this as a survivor who was never given any justice.
"Why work when you can sue Michael Jackson?" - Tom Mesereau

Death Note
Long time no see... A lot of shit has happened but here I am, your voice of horror!
I ended up on this movie 'Death Note' on Netflix and told myself it sounded interesting and let me put it this way; it really is interesting!
It is not really scary but it doesn't change the fact that this movie has a cool storyline.
Owning a book in which you can decode people's destiny, who will live and who will die? It is all up to you.
And who doesn't want that kind of power?
Owning your own personal Demon, that must be super cool.
The question is if human beings can control these kind of powers? If we have God like powers and we can kill people without being caught, how many people would be killed for justice or mercy? It is kinda scary to think of.
So a guy who's an outsider and a gothic chick gathers together and kill people in the name of Kira, and say they do it for the justice.
But who can actually decide that? Killing inmates is not justice, because you don't know if they are even guilty.
Is the lonely boy evil or does he have good intentions? Let's look at the end of the movie, he will do everything to save himself from dying in a Ferris wheel (who actually wants to die in a Ferris wheel?)
I believe though that all humans would be somewhat evil if they contained this kind of powers.
So how will it end?
Let's leave it up to Kira.

Cell
Will this be the end of the world?
It has been years since I read the book so it is a little hard to compare them but this movie is good and the story behind it is really great. Aren't we a little too busy on our phones everyday and sometimes forget to live in the real world?
Stephen King was no doubt thinking this when he wrote the book (and that book is about 10 years old and see how much that has happened since)
Well, suddenly a pulse is send out through cell phones and manipulates the human brains. You can say they reach some sort of zombie mode as they clearly don't feel pain or anything. And at night they reboot! How weird is that? How these people work is a good question but there is a master, someone that controls them and the few survivors dream about him. He is filthy and wears a red hoodie.
During this movie two guys and a young woman try to hunt him down and all while they struggle with surviving the infected people.
The young woman doesn't make it and yeah... Let's say one of the men is not lucky either though he seems very happy to find his son.
And what will happen? This movie has an open ending, if you will call it an ending... Well it is a little weird.
Thing is in some way a movie that I have mixed feelings about, I feel like it's worth watching because the beginning is good but at the same time I feel like it was somewhat a waste of time.
Anyways, you can choose wether you want to watch this or not.
Have a spooky day!
Split
Do not cover your scars, they might save you one day.
This movie met criticism for not knowing enough about mental illnesses but who actually knows about that? Our brain is one of the most complicated things and we only use what 10% of it? So what is the rest of our brain capable off?
This might contain a few spoilers, now you are warned.
Kevin has nothing but 23 personalities and each personality is different from one another. There's the artist, the child, the woman living in her zen and the pervert who loves to watch teenage girls dance and suffers from OCD. These are the personalities we are mostly presented to but we also meet one that suffers from diabetes.
Kevin is well hidden and there's a reason, he is weak. The abuse he faced as a child has made him hide inside himself behind these different people. His psychiatrist is the only one who understands him and seems to be able to communicate with him on his level until one day when he kidnaps three teenage girls and keeps them locked up.
One of the girls, one that used to be the outsider at school seems to understand him but they also have faced similar childhood traumatizing. You slowly get to know her inform of flashbacks and what you see will disturb your head. And it can turn you into a hardcore feminist if you aren't one already.
The two other girls are less lucky when Kevin's 24th personality shows up. He is not human and he is hungry; hungry for flesh. These two girls are spoiled brads and they never had anything to complain about (but no doubt they have done it anyways)
The movie is not really scary. You can say if you look deeper into what this movie is about then maybe it is scary but it is not a movie that will make you unable to sleep at night.
James McAvoy really does a great job playing these many roles and making all of the characters unique and I wonder how he so well can hide his thick Scottish accent?
It is a great movie and it makes me positive towards what other new horror movies 2017 will bring.
Go watch this, you will not regret it.
Stay terrified!

Desperation
Amazed.
Yes I am. I rarely watch a movie based on a Stephen King book where I am thinking this one really follows the book. The book is epic and I did not have high expectations to the movie (after watching The Running Man I stopped these expectations)
But this one made it. Desperation is really a dead town and you will wonder what happened to all the people and why the only living one is a big cop who is kind of insane.
Kind of? He says he is a wolf, he says directly that he is going to kill the people he arrests.
He leaves a dead girl at the doorsteps just for show off. He says weird stuff and he always says Tak. And even more weird, he loves the writer he arrests but suddenly he hates him and beats him? Wth?
Entrigian as his name is is falling apart. What do you do when you fall apart? You switch to a new body, what else?
And God is gone, Tak is God.
Lucky for the prisoners the little boy is brave enough to escape though a dog is on watch and can easily kill him. Apparently the poor boy is about to see stuff that kids shouldn't see.
The writer should be happy that his assistance is far behind and he has picked up a hitchhiker who finds Desperation on a map. It takes some time though before they find the prison escapers and they are brought to an almost safe place.
The old vet in town seems to know that what's going on in the town has something to do with reopening the old mine.
I do not want to spoil too much but when you read history books you always read talks about how good your people where and how cruel "the others where." The Vet should have done better research as no slaves were treated fair.
So will they get out alive, will they fight Tak and what can they do?
I will let you watch the rest, it is a cool movie.
Scary, no, but cool.
Have fun.

Gingerdead man
So that's how you celebrate the Holidays.
You bake a gingerbread man and then he comes to life and kills people?
Sounds awesome to me ;)
Well, can I say anything but this movie is a joke, if it was suppose to be scary then all I can say is, you failed in every way!
How was this suppose to be taken serious?
He kills a couple of bakers and well yeah he can drive! How many cakes can drive a car?
I love to watch the Elvira's movie macabre version where she suddenly interrupts and says "I told you gluten kills you."
That is just epic.
Haha, I will say if you are in for a good laugh then watch this movie but do not waist your time on it if you want a good scare, that's for sure.
Watch it next Christmas as you might find the Christmas spirit while watching it.
Have fun!

Haven
Wow, someone really wanted to solve what happened to the Colorado kid.
Have you read the book? It is the most frustrating book Stephen King has ever written and I get why the makers of this TV show wanted to make something big out of it.
It is an amazing mystery and then there are the side stories. This is like a cool forensic show, I love forensic shows but this one contains supernatural stuff and mysteries too and that just makes it even better. Who's Audrey? What is it with the barn that is her punishment and who is lucy? Everything is so weird and then there are the "troubles" why are they all in Haven? And why is Audrey immune? This is the suspense and questions you have for this TV show all the way and it catches you so much you cannot do anything but watch it all the time. It is about as addictive as many other TV shows.
But then season 5 came along... Hmmm. Yeah what can I say? I do not like it as much as liked the other seasons. It went on to be weird and kinda out of line. It focuses on Audrey... Lucy, Marta, Lexi and all the other personalities she has. I guess she suffers from serious schizophrenia.
Anyways, watch this TV show, you won't regret it!

Silence Dead
Never call anyone a dummy, EVER!
And do not scream when you see the old ugly doll lady ghost thing. This movie is kinda awesome. I was surprised that it is from 2007, it looked more like something from the 70's. I think I was too busy looking at their clothes... Typical me to focus on the wrong things.
The doll comes out of nowhere and is just left on the doorstep, I had absolutely not welcomed it to my home as a "child". Ew, just no. I hate dolls. Yes, I played with action men as a child.
Anyways, I can really recommend to watch this movie. It is not scary like every other horror movie I have watched but I really like the plot. And as I always say, fanaticims is never good for anything and this crazy old lady is no exception. She is like crazy cat lady just with dolls instead of cats. She doesn't just make dolls of boys, she doesn't just collect dolls she also wants to become a doll. Isn't that crazy? Well, I collect paranormal figurines but I would not like to be one... Just kidding, I would love to be a witch or a vampire :P
Anyways, if you have nothing better to do this weekend, knock yourself down on the couch and watch a lot of crappy horror movies.
Have fun and unpleasant dreams ;)

The conjuring 2
Wow, this is one of my favorite stories. The Enfield poltergeist, though he is turned into a demon in this movie.
Of course it was to involve the two famous demonologists the Warren's couple.
How creepy is it if the father from Amityville was actually influenced by something demonic?
And what if the ghost Bill was actually being held hostage by an Demon? He wasn't though, I have studied this story for a long time.
But the thought of it makes it a little more creepy.
So young Janet is being haunted by Bill after she used an ouija board without saying goodbye to it! Do you know how dangerous it is to not do that?
You let whatever you speak to into our dimension.
That board is not a toy and it is not meant to be abused, specially not by kids!
Young girls at Janet's age are likely to attract ghosts, poltergeists are very much powered by young female hormones.
I really like this movie and I can recommend it to any horror fan. To me it wasn't scary but nothing really is so I would say you have to be a hardcore horror watcher or at least not sleeping alone before you watch this. So I watched it on an airplane with so much turbulence that I was covered in nutella when I landed. That made the mood super perfect.
The story of Janet has been told many times and it really convinced me that there's more between heaven and earth than what we can see. This story is also presented in Extreme Ghost Stories and a lot of books have been written about it too. It is one of the most well documented paranormal investigations in history and it is super cool for a person like me who is obsessed with this scary stuff.
Have fun watching this movie and do not forget to eat nutella sticks meanwhile ;)

The Walking Dead: Invasion
Jay Bonansinga knows how to continue the story of Woodbury, Lilly Caul and the rest of the few survivors. And just as you hoped so deeply that the stupid preacher was long gone as zombie food he comes back and this time with a plan. How can he be such a jerk? I do not understand how some people can end up like that just because the world has gone down a little...
He wants revenge and as for Lilly she has many other struggles like her claustrophobia. How can she stay in the tunnels for so long? I would for sure miss some fresh air if I was her. She often goes on scavenger hunts and no doubt that it is just to get away from the cold, depressing darkness. Even though the dead are crawling outside it looks like she knows how to handle the dangling bodies.
Lilly has developed so much since the first book she is presented in. In the beginning she was just a weak young lady struggling with a twisted past and now she is a strong leader who has to get her group out alive after an invasion of the tunnels.
In the end she gets her revenge over the preacher and yeah, he gets what he deserves.
Read this book if you love The Walking Dead and the comics! The books are a great side story for the graphic novels. Have fun :)

Freakish
Freakish is an original Hulu series and it is so exciting!
I watched this TV show while waiting for the new season of The Walking Dead and it was not a bad replacement.
Sometimes getting detention is not that bad, especially not when a chemical lab blows up and the whole town dies. But is being trapped inside of a school building cool? I would hate it. And I would hate it even more if I had diabetes and needed insulin.
This TV show really has a great alternative idea for a zombie virus, instead of a virus the radio activity (or whatever it is) keeps the bodies alive and feed on the living.
Just imagine how freaky that is!
So it is a new series and they have only made one season so far and it had an annoying cliff hanger. You know now that other people are alive, you know that the authorities wants to kill people who experienced the blow up and you know who caused the mess. So what is going to happen next?
I cannot wait for the next season, but until then I will watch The Walking Dead with many mixed emotions.
Bye :)

The Walking Dead: Descent
Lilly Caul is unlucky in her decisions on saving people and men to date... Some get shot, others bitten and some just simply crazy. She chooses to save Reverend Jeremiah and his congregation. That was a bad decision especially after she had just fallen in love again with a religious guy who goes crazy. Sorry if I spoil too much but that woman needs to do a background check on her guys.
Actually reading and watching The Walking Dead makes you sceptic toward religious people. I'm religious myself but I would never see a zombie apocalypse as a beat of death, a sign from God that we should kill all livings or a way that the Devil can capture our souls forever. Of course I understand that you would try to find a meaning in such a mess but this is just not a good meaning. I would more see it as a way to clean up this messy planet. But anyways zombies are not real.
The thing is Lilly is trying to keep Woodbury from falling apart and that's a good thing but where's the best place to hide during an apocalypse and save people? Oh yeah, under ground! Bob is a former drunk who did bad things but he discovers some forgotten tunnels under the ground of Woodbury and that way they can save Jeremiah's church. But they should not had done that. These people have secrets and they are not good and the reverend reminds me of the Governor in many ways; nice on the outside and a real sociopath in reality. Oh yeah, here we go again and if only Lilly wasn't so stubborn.. She annoys me sometimes.
But anyways it's a great book to read if you are a fan of TWD like me! Good luck :)

Bob is a former drunk who did bad things but he discovers some forgotten tunnels under the ground of Woodbury and that way they can save Jeremiah's church. But they should not had done that. These people have secrets and they are not good and the reverend reminds me of the Governor in many ways; nice on the outside and a real sociopath in reality. Oh yeah, here we go again and if only Lilly wasn't so stubborn.. She annoys me sometimes.
But anyways it's a great book to read if you are a fan of TWD like me! Good luck :)

The Walking Dead: Fall of the Governor part 1and 2
So what happens after Woodbury has got a new regime and the new leader takes over? And what happens when he falls?
Lilly is getting more used to the new world and the new leader in Woodbury and how things have to be ruled in the post plagued world. And if you have read the graphic novels (which I recommend) then you will get a new perspective on what's happening in the mean time between the Governor's failed kidnapping on Michonne. Poor Phillip... or... Anyways, she really tortures him and leave him in pain and maybe she actually wants him to just die slowly from the attack. One will never know.
He recovers and all the citizens in Woodbury just see what their leader looks like and they find their only doctor dead walking around outside the fence. And how about Martinez, was he actually a good guy or a betrayer..? There are many unanswered questions. The Governor wanted Martinez to follow them back to the prison and then come back with information but if he changes his mind and wants to help the people in the prison is not easy to know. All I know os that Rick kills him to protect his people.
Lilly feels protective now because she got another thing to deal with know that she has discovered that she's pregnant with her new guy but she discovers the ugly truth that she had a miscarriage. That's one of the reasons why she freaks out when she discovers that she killed Lory and Judith.
Poor girl, I cannot imagine what it must feel like. But it makes her turn against the Governor and feeds him to the zombie herd.
She takes over Woodbury not that she really wants to, but she does after the town chose her.
Her guy is dead and she has to find a new way to rule the town and she knows she needs people after all the loses at the prison war. She welcomes a new family to Woodbury and what will happen afterwards? We will see in the next book.
Read this book if you are hard core TWD fan ;)
Have fun!

Riget (The Kingdom)
I wondered if this good old cult story had ever been showed outside of Scandinavia just to discover that it can be bought all over the world.
I always wonder what Lars Von Trier tried to tell with this mini series on only 8 episodes and why this series was so popular in the 90's? I grew up with this and you can call it rather bizarre that a child watched this but it is me we are talking about. I have never been scared of anything.
But what I got out of watching this is that the dear mr. Von Trier is tired of how modern science outshines the spiritual part of life. How can we know that ghosts do not exist? How do we know that demons do not walk among us and make young ladies pregnant so they get a bizarre looking creature of a baby and how about zombies? What I know from zombies is that they were first seen in voodoo rituals and that you cannot see they are dead. Just like dr. Krogshøj.
Besides that Lars Von Trier has never been afraid to say what he thinks and mean it. Look at all the monkey business going on among the doctors and professors. And how much they sacrifice for science, are they like insane? And they find spiritual mrs. Drusse crazy when she tells about Mary, the girl who's haunting the hospital and was killed by her father, former dr. Krüger who's also the devil himself and who's being reborn and... I already lost you right?
The smartest people at this hospital are the two dishwashers with the down syndrome.
Well, if you are not from Scandinavia and you choose to watch this rather crazy series then there are a few things you will not understand as the hate/love scenario between Sweden and Denmark and the language issue. It is rarely presented though.
So why did it break off so sudden with an ending that makes no sense?
The Kingdom 3 should had been made and the manus was written but then Mrs. Drusse died, Dr. Helmer died and the male dishwasher died and it was blown off. Sadly, because you actually wants to know what happens next. But I heard that Stephen King bought the rights and made an ending. His version is called 'Kingdom Hospital' and I cannot wait to watch it!
So if you want to watch this series the be prepared to take good with evil!
See ya!

The walking dead: The road to Woodbury
A little side story to the other books but yet very relevant because who's Lilly? She is a young lady feeling too much guilt.
She is stuck with other survivors and the camp seems save enough. But nothing lasts forever and you get to meet a mystic drunk character; Bob. You remember him, right?
A guy who loves the bottle and used to heal soldiers in Afghanistan but now he can barely heal himself. He is in love with the young girl Megan but she's already taken and she's married to the needle. She was a troubled kid at school along with Lilly who suffers from anxiety and together they smoked weed until Lilly took off to get an education and what can you use an education for when the apocalypse has begun? Well, you spent all your time reading books and go to your exams to get a grade and then suddenly the world goes down and everyone around you dies. So what can you do? Protect yourself by using a big guy who's in love with you. That's called a smart brain right? Josh is much older than Lilly and though he seems big and scary then he's soft as a sheep. He only kills the dead and he wants justice around the living..
So much that he's being kicked out of the camp they live in. Lilly, Megan, her boyfriend and Bob leaves with him and try to start a new together. They find a place to settle down and they seem safe and calm in this place but soon they are surrounded, the building is ruined and they have to leave right away. They end in up in this strange village called Woodbury and it does no take them long to discover that something is wrong in town. It's ruled by bad people who treats food for... pleasure or whatever else you have to offer them. Megan's boyfriend Scott disappears and no one seems to care and the Governor.. He seems to be a good man on the outside but a wacko on the inside. In other words: this place is definition of hell on Earth.
And what can they do? Josh and Lilly tries to find a new place and they end up in a big mansion where they think they are safe. But they are not... Not at all and they have to burn it down just to end up back in Woodbury. And that's where hell breaks loose. There is no way of punishing the bad guys and Josh ends up being dead. Poor guy, he really did not deserve it!
Lilly is now all alone, Megan is gone, Scott is gone, Josh is gone and Bob is drunk so what can she do?
All she can do is gather along with people like herself: Those who wants the Governor down. They make a big plan but it fails and Phillip Blake is ruling again... Why, why, why?
And that's where the gladiator fights or whatever you want to call them begins.
Now Woodbury is reborn and everything is just as we know it from TV and the graphic novels.
This book should be read by any Walking Dead fan and I know that you will not regret reading out.
Now I only got one question left... That big storm in this book, it's the biggest storm ever in Georgia! But it is not mentioned in the cartoons...? Dear Kirkman, why?
Have a nice day ;)

The Walking Dead: Rise of the Governor
You might wonder why Robert Kirkman chose to write a book about Phillip Blake. If you love Rick and the other survivors we follow from the beginning of the plague and till now when the zombies have taken over for sure and made the living dangerous animal like creatures.
So why write this book?
Maybe to get a better understanding on how the Governor became the owner of Woodbury. And what happened in Woodbury before hand and how did Penny die? There are so many unanswered questions. Well, I read once somewhere, maybe it was a fanzine I cannot recall, but it said that Penny is just his niece. That confused me until I read this book.
Phillip Blake had a brother; his name is Brian Blake and he tries to protect Penny all way through the break down of society. Phillip is the reason why the 5 people make it through and survives as the world is going down, TV stations stop broadcasting and food is no longer being produced. The 5 survivors; Phillip, Brian, Penny and 2 of Phillip's high school friends have heard of a refugee camp in Atlanta and that's where they are heading. They choose though to stay at the upper class suburb outside of Atlanta for a little while enjoying "the good life." After more golf players and rich ladies wearing fur tries to eat them and a little kid successfully eats one (I won't say who) they finally head off to Atlanta just to discover the awful truth.... The refugee camp doesn't exist. You already knew that from the TV show and the graphic novels. After a long fight with the dead they find an apartment with 2 sisters living alone with their sick dad.
Throughout the book you wonder if Kirkman wanted to justify Phillip Blake for being an as*hole all the way but you will discover that you also hated him before Penny's dead. He's a rapist, he wishes his own brother dead and he treats people like puppies. But without him they would not had survived.
His persona is harsh and dictator like and he makes the Governor from the TV show seems lovely compared to Hitler's son in this book.
Brian is the exact opposite though the same blood is rolling in their veins. He's careful, scared and always needs protection, he can barely kill a walker!
He takes care of Penny more than he takes care of himself and if he should make a sacrifice he would throw himself in front of a walker instead of Penny.
After the rape attempt the group is kicked out of the apartment and they hit south. They find a rural area and settle down and starts a new life only with a few roamers visiting them sometimes. Brian is being accused of being paranoid when he begins to hear strange things but he is the smart one. One night they are being robbed by tough survivors and this is where poor Penny cannot make it any longer. But Phillip does not have it in him to put Penny out of her misery so he keeps her alive as they leave the house. They end up in Woodbury where walls are being build. Phillip and his group gets an apartment and no one cares about them. No one cares about anything they actually just keep to themselves and that's how Phillip can sneak in his dead daughter and hide her in the apartment without anyone noticing. Woodbury is being ruled by an insane dude named Gavin and it is Phillip's mission to put him out and take over the place but he fails. Brian on the other hand.... He has the guts now... I will not spoil too much now but let's just say that the Governor is born and he's ready to rule.
This book is for any Walking Dead fan! Enjoy :)

Alice in Wonderland: through the looking glass
Talking about time traveling then this film does it in an amazing way!
The poor hatter misses his family and now he believes that they are still alive. The only one who can save his sanity is Alice. She finds a way to Wonderland through the looking glass and she sees how everything has changed since the last time she was there. I wish I had watched this film in 3D I just didn't have time the day they showed it.
Anyways. She has to deal with time and he's rather stubborn. He will not let her change the past so she can save the Mad Hatter's family. He tells her that the past is irreversible. She tries anyway. She steals the cronoesphere and travels back to stop the red queen from becoming evil. She soon discovers that Time was right; you cannot change the past you can only learn from it. She leaves the past through a looking glass to come back to her own world and she ends up in a mental institution.. what else?
She's not only battling with what's going on with her friends in Wonderland, she also battles with what's going on in her own life. Her mother has reached an age where she wants grand children and Alice is adventures and wants to keep traveling around the world on her favorite ship which she got from her father. It is rather sad when it comes to fighting with your family over how YOU should live YOUR life.. Your parents ca only give you advice because you don't listen anyway.
Alice escapes and goes back to Wonderland where she indeed discovers that the Hatter family is still alive. Now she only has to find out where they are because all she knows is that The Red Queen keeps them prisoners somewhere. Now it is up to the hatter to safe them but something goes terribly wrong; The Red Queen has stolen the cronoesphere and is traveling back to make up with her sister The White Queen about a little lie in their childhood which had horrible consequences for the future of Wonderland. Time believes that he is immortal and that his world watch is invincible but sadly it seems like the past can beat time. If you see your future self then everything can and will go wrong. And now only Alice can safe the world but will she reach it in time? We hope so!
Even though you are probably an adult like me then this film is ageless. I can slightly recommend to watch this in cinemas and remember to buy a big bunch of popcorn!
And be careful not to freak out to P!nk's song 'Just like fire' in the end.. Then maybe you will end up in the mental institution.
Have fun!

'11.22.63'
Long time no see.. I'm really busy studying for my exams but now I have a short break before I have to stay up late again with big coffee eyes.
So I have a simple question now.. Would you travel in time if you could? Would you change it if you had the opportunity? Would you just go back to attempt a concert with The Beatles, Elvis or maybe someone less cliché. Would you change the past? Even though you are aware that the so called butterfly effect can damage everything in the future? These are the dilemmas that Jake Epping has to face when his friend who's sick from cancer introduces him to a 'rabbit hole' which takes you back to the year 1960 (In the book it's 1958 but it doesn't matter). The time is always being spoked as 'the best time ever' when you ask your grand parents but what was the reality? Can you live without your cell phone, your internet and what other privileges you have that makes it easier for you to study?
As you also see in this book/novel then Jim Crow was still alive and would you really want to live in that world? People being separated because of the color of their skins? That's stupid and for Jake Epping it is quiet a challenge. He comes from a time where the 'N'-word is almost forbidden to say and then he comes to this culture shock.
But he has not travelled back in time to be political correct he is on an important mission; he has to safe J.F Kennedy's life. This means he has to stay in the past for 3 years but that means nothing since he's only gone for 2 minutes in the future no matter what. In the book he travels back and forth many times but in the TV series he stays there in one shot. He is not really suppose to make anyone suspicious and no one is suppose to notice him, he has to blend in to the time and trend and walk around unnoticed. He has a problem though.. He knows too much and then he falls in love with the beautiful Sadie. In the book he goes on this mission alone but in the TV show he finds someone to help him (they are like number 1 enemies in the book). Together they survey Lee Harvey Oswald to discover if he was alone or someone else was involved in the murder of the President. Both the book and the TV show points in the direction that Oswald was alone I don't know wether it's because Stephen King thinks he was alone or if it's because it was easier to make it this way. In the book it sounds like Stephen King thinks he was alone. It doesn't matter, I'm not here to make conspiracies or kill them for that matter.. I wasn't even born I have no idea what the world looked like back then I only know what I read in books.
Ok, but what I truly miss in the TV show is 'The man with the yellow card.' He's far more important in the book. Actually it seems like he was only placed in the TV show because he kinda had to be there. In the book he commits suicide and his replacement 'The man with the green card' from Seattle tells why changing the past is so sensitive and what happens when you try to. In the book you meet the survivors of Pennywise as well (a little something to the geeks I guess ;))
What the future looks like is also far more well described. I feel like the last episode had to be completed too fast. Thanks to Harry Dunning, Jake Epping knows what he has changed. 9/11 never happened and neither did the Vietnam war but the future looks like a war zone.
Every time you jump through the rabbit hole then you make a restart. Or do you? Not if you ask the man with the card. But he really has to pull back what he has done because maybe the murder of Kennedy was cruel but everything happens for a reason.. Always a reason unknown.
Enjoy this amazing mini series and read the book too. You will not be disappointed!
Have fun!

'7 Mummies'
What.. What happened? Mummies in America? Ok, well let's look at the plot, some criminals are trapped in the dessert and they escape by killing the guarders except the woman of course, for some reason the woman always survives. It is a priviligde to be a woman ;) For many reason I found this film rather strange; how can the dead feel pain? How come some of them can survive sunlight while others can't? I don't understand that much... Okay, and are the mummies really mummies or just ghosts or maybe zombies? I'm not that sure. I don't have a man's mind but I can imagine that a dead hooker might not be the biggest fantasy unless you like dead people of course... Ew..
To move on to the next level let's look at this cowboy life, it seems very interesting but what can you say to it unlike that you find it kinda interesting just like many other ways of livinig like Vikings and so on. So is this film scary? I was bored to be honest.. I was just waiting for something to happen, something scary would be great. Watch it if you want but I will not recommend it.
Have a great weekend!

1408 - the film vs. short story
I'm amazed.
It's unbelievable what Mikael Håfström got out of a short story on 35 pages.
The film begins in another place and the story begins right at the time when Mike Enslin arrives to Hotel Dolphin in New York. The poor hotel manager tries to convince Enslin to stay away from the haunted room, 1408, if the room is really haunted? Is it the devil or is it a wizard's power or what is going on in that evil room? We will never know.
The short story takes place in Hotel Dolphin and we only know a little bit about Enslin's past, we know he has written books about haunted places and he has been married. We know he has been a smoker and he loves whisky. The description of the hotel and the manager is long and detailed, even though I automatically think of minimalism when I read novels. Of course there is a bit minimalism, as I said, we don't know Enslin's past and we don't know what he looks like, but the details of his work and the room. We get a feeling of what this room looks like and the paintings on the walls. The paintings change during the story and it is a little min f''king for the reader.
So what happens?
The first guy that died in room 1408 was a sewer salesman, he died in 1910. The first victim of Hotel Dolphin's demonic room.
The room starts a fire, Mike Enslin is trapped. Now he can only be saved by a sewer sales man. Even though he is out he is still in the room somehow, he's paranoid even though he suffers from amnesia, his mind is deserted.
The film takes place in different scenarios, you see him at a beach, a book signing and haunted rooms. Then he arrives at hotel Dolphin in New york and meets the manager who is trying to convince him to stay away from the room. He shows some pictures from the past 'murderess'.
In the film you really get to see how the room truly shows it's horror. You meet some weird kind of human thing which you are not really sure is human. It reminds him of how he used to treat his wife and daughter (he was probably drunk) and then you meet his dead daughter. You believe that mr. Enslin gets out of the room and everything seems perfect but suddenly there's a plot twist and you meet his daughter in the hotel room. The film has too endings, the one with the firefighters saving Enslin and the other one where mr. Enslin has a sad passing, choose which one you wanna watch ;)
See ya,
