For our #podcast Holmes Movies, my brother and I made a trip to #MonumentValley for a film pilgrimage.

We documented it in this #shortfilm/#travelgoue which you can watch here on #YouTube.

Enjoy!

These two films would make one hell of a double bill.

First 18 minutes of Episode 6 of #Task were so damn good. Intense & suspenseful. All the various plot threads & story arcs come together for a big action set piece. Some big surprises too. A moving & tense episode, which nicely sets up the big showdown in the finale next week.

“The two memories I have of that film are I had to wear the worst wig ever created by man and Marlon Brando would always drop his pants and moon me. Well, not just me, the cast and the crew.”

Rest in peace, Diane Keaton.

One of my favourite #horror films of the 2000s. What Lies Beneath with Harrison Ford & Michelle Pfeiffer. Directed by Robert Zemeckis, while he was on hiatus from filming Castaway.

You can listen to me talk about it on my #podcast: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/h...

Fashionably late to the party, but Mike Flanagan’s adaptation of Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House was tremendous. A frightening & atmospheric show filled with scenes of emotional & psychological depth. Tremendous production values too. A very moving & suspenseful show with awesome scares

I think someone should let Darren Aronofsky know the 90s called & they want their movie back. Inside Llewyn Davis meets After Hours by way of Reservoir Dogs. Probably Aronofsky’s most accessible film & the funnest film he has made since… well?… the beginning of his career.

Cup of tea at a cafe and reading H. P. Lovecraft’s book At The Mountains of Madness while listening to Ennio Morricone’s score from John Carpenter’s The Thing.

What’s not to like? 😊 📖 😱

My first time reading a Lovecraft book.

Robert Redford was a one-of-a-kind towering legend. Actor, director, producer, storyteller, philanthropist. He changed the world with his drive to make it a better, more beautiful & radical place. Too many films to name made impeccable due to his contributions. #RIPRobertRedford

Robert Redford was an absolute pioneer of cinema, on and also off the screen.

A truly tremendous and enduring legacy he has left behind. A bonafide and charismatic movie star, director, activist and environmentalist. One of the best of his generation. Such an influential figure.

RIP 😔

Robert Redford wasn’t just a great actor. He used his profile to help others. From environmentalism, Native American rights, LGBTQ advocacy, and independent film, he cared deeply about people, and preserving their culture and world.

What Robert Redford contributed to American films via Sundance is genuinely immeasurable. He was also an extraordinarily talented director--Ordinary People and Quiz Show are two of the best American studio movies of their eras--and an actor who somehow wore his incredible charisma almost shyly. RIP.

#NowWatching one of my all time favourite horror films. Jack Clayton’s The Innocents is the quintessential haunted house film, so damn creepy & unsettlingly tense. Co-written by Truman Capote. If you haven’t seen it yet, you really should.

#NowReading Mindhunter.

Bought this book around the time the first season of the show came out at Newark Airport before I flew home to Denmark.

Guess as it is #SpookySeason, feels like the right time to finally read it.
