De Kiekeboes 158. Salami
https://www.standaarduitgeverij.be/product/158-salami-9789002271151/ Review: Voor de tweede keer haalt Merho zijn inspiratie uit een boek voor een verhaal van een album van De Kiekeboes, deze keer komt het van de thriller ‘Salami’ van Rudy Soetewey. (Ik heb het boek tot nu toe nog nooit gezien of gelezen dus misschien moet ik daar eens werk van maken?) Slagerij…

De Kiekeboes 129. Grof Wild
https://www.standaarduitgeverij.be/product/129-grof-wild-9789002243226/ Review: Merho is altijd bereid geweest te vernieuwen en deze keer heeft hij dit gedaan door samen te werken met (intussen) wijlen Pieter Aspe, die in 1998 het kortverhaal Grof Wild schreef. Met dat verhaal als basis wou Merho wel eens aan de slag gaan om de Kiekeboes in dezelfde situatie te brengen. Charlotte…

Stephen King Movie Marathon: The Boogeyman (Short 1982)
Review: This movie was made via Stephen King’s “Dollar Baby” program, where he sold the non-exclusive rights to one of his stories (from the collection Night Shift) to independent filmmakers for $1. That doesn’t mean that this makes for a good short movie. Because honestly it had bad lighting, the actors mumbled instead of talking…

Movie Marathon: A single Man (2009)
Review: In December 2020 I finally read the novel by Christopher Isherwood, A Single Man. It was a novel about love, death, longing and melancholy… also about getting older! I adored every letter, every phrase… and that ending just wrung my heart out… Even though Tom Ford, yes thé Tom Ford of the glasses and…

The World of IT
Review: In 2017, Stephen King fans were happy to see the first of two new movies was released, a remake of IT, one of his creepiest books ever written. Movie adaptations of King’s book haven’t always been the best, some were even atrocious and there were even adaptations that dismissed the origin source material and…

Stephen King Movie Marathon: The shining (1980)
Review: As movie adaptations go, especially Stephen King adaptations, this is one has been very much talked about in the past 44 years, since its release in 1980! Stephen King hated it, the late Shelley Duvall (who recently passed away) was bullied by Kubrick while filming and almost left… The movie had its issues… and…

Movie Marathon: All of us Strangers (2023)
Review: All of us Strangers was a movie that was recommended by everyone online and by that my interest was peaked to have a go at it, even though I’ve seen people on TikTok crying over it. So I knew this was going to be a sad movie. But I didn’t expect it to be…

Beiden zijn ze niet de snuggersten maar Lennie heeft toch een grotere mentale achterstand. En toch blijven de twee samen en zorgt George ervoor dat Lennie niet (al te veel) in de problemen komt. En als…
