Hurry, Ophelia

I saw that Ophelia is slowly skimming off the Eastern US coast, meaning that it most likely will do the same over here at the Atlantic coast. It only moves at a speed of 3mph, too. That’s 5 km/h for … Continue reading

Thinking back about the movie ‘The Village’, the one we saw yesterday, I mesmerized about why it didn’t catch on with me: while the storyline is good, the climax isn’t the climax that’s being expected. The movie doesn’t fullfill its … Continue reading
