Kahn is hellbent on revenge against Kirk who he blames for years of exile on a hostile planet. Not only does he want revenge, he also wants…

Mythos. The Greek myths retold, Stephen Fry (ISBN 978-1 405 934138, Penguin)
Started reading this book during the summer holidays after a tip from friends. When i was at school classical studies were out of vogue and my knowledge of Greek history and mythology is ‘somewhat poor’. So for me this book was definitely educational. In my (probably distorted) memory books about myths were always written in an archaic language making it difficult for me to enjoy. This book by Stephen Fry doesn’t suffer that problem. On the contrary, Stephen often make comparisons between the myths and our modern world. The myths are retold in modern language and using contemporary concepts and…

Dredd
I watched Dredd (2012) about a month ago on NetFlix. I was browsing the catalog and came across Dredd. I mistook it for the old Judge Dredd movie with Sylvester Stallone from 1997. Even though I hadn’t seen the old one for roughly 20 years probably it didn’t take long to figure out I was watching another movie. The Judge Dredd played here by Karl Urban is way more articulate than the one from Stallone. He has a similar deep grumbling voice but the words come out in a clear way that is easy to understand. Stallone always talks a…

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, J.K. Rowling (ISBN 978-1408855669, Bloomsbury)
The second Harry Potter book, first published in 1998 in the UK. A little darker than the first one but still quite light in tone. Ginny Weasley, Ron’s younger sister goes to Hogwarts for her first year and gets a central role in this story. Some first romantic feelings between Harry and Jenny emerge but it will take quite a bit of ageing of the characters and many pages before these feelings will be allowed to come to fruition. We are also introduced to Dobby the house elf, another important character in the Harry Potter universe. As the title suggests…

Warrior Nun Season 1
Recently I watched the first season of this Netflix original. Like many others this is an adaptation of a comic book about a ‘superhero’. Or maybe to put it more correctly, about someone with superhuman abilities. Eva, the main character has spent most of her life crippled and tied to a bed in an orphanage. When she dies at age 19 she is brought back to life when a secret sect of demon hunting nuns hide a magical halo in her body after the previous bearer died in an attack. Finally being able to walk Eva doesn’t want to join…

Marvel’s Agent Carter Season 2
In the second season we find Peggy back in LA where she is helping out to crack a strange case of a dead body found in a frozen lake during a heatwave. All the ingredients that made season 1 so good are back in the mix and this time we even get 2 more episodes as season 2 consists of 10 episodes. Even so it is over all too soon. The second season is a bit darker compared to the first one with the mysterious and dangerous zero matter and a conspiracy ruling the world to be overcome. The dialogues…
