Last Night in Soho

Last Night in Soho - Review

Last Night in Soho is the most recent movie by Edgar Wright. So that alone is a reason to check it out, right?

This is probably one of the weirdest movies I’ve seen in months. Yet, as soon as I started watching, I couldn’t look away anymore.

It is different, which makes it interesting, but there is no better word to describe it than weird.

The 60s

While living in the present time, the main character, Eloise, is a young lady in love with the 60s. She loves music, fashion, and everything related to that decade.

Eloise is not an ordinary girl, though. She seems to have some "spiritual powers", I would say. We know she sees her dead mother, but we are never sure what she can do more.

Things get weird when, after renting a room from an old lady, she is transported to the 60s London. There, she follows a mysterious woman named Sandie. She is so in love with the decade that everything seems fascinating. At first…

It quickly turns out to be a bit creepy, and it will probably make you nervous. I spent part of the movie saying things like, “Don’t go in there! Don’t do that! Why?”

The Concept

The concept is different from anything I’ve seen. Eloise time-travels in her dreams, and somehow it affects her real life. It was unexpected.

Other movies focused on the topic of dreams before. In some of them, you can know stuff through your dreams; others, things in your dreams come to real life. So yeah, there were both in here, but the main point is the time-traveling. And that’s new.

Did I mention weird?

I like movies that are different, even if that means being a bit weird. I don’t want to feel that I’m watching the same film only with other characters or places.

In that matter, I can say that this one was new. And, it is worth checking.

Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes

This is not the sort of show which I usually talk about on this blog. However, as a psychologist, I’m usually quite curious in regards to criminals and their minds; and one of these days I started watching this documentary on Netflix . Taking into consideration the kind of thing this is, I can’t say I ‘liked’ it. I mean what you see in there is nothing to like, but I was rather terrified, which is probably the usual response. Nonetheless, it was definitely a good documentary. The eyes of a killer Everything displayed in this story was terrible. The descriptions, Bundy’s posture, everything seemed like some sort of horror show, putting into perspective what we may consider to be lucky or unlucky in this life. Before I even start watching it, I read somewhere that this was the kind of thing you shouldn’t watch alone. Sounds accurate right now. At the time, and considering my, mostly academic, experience, I didn’t think that this could actually be so upsetting.

Young Sheldon is a delightful surprise, blending humor, heart, and a touch of nostalgia. As a prequel to The Big Bang Theory , the show offers insight into the childhood of Sheldon Cooper, one of the most iconic characters in modern TV.
