As an amalgam of memorable melody with more recently rewritten myth, the aspects of Ra in each are redolent and effervescent. There is a bounce and vibrancy in the music which complements Clark's whimsy and counterpoints the arrow-flight of Kal-El, whilst the "just me" refrain grounds us as the a...

That this is a tale of the faery but only betimes the fair is beautiful presaged in the poet's portal upon which Fate, in all his youthful zest, comes here knocking, and the cultivated uncertainties of the series blossom in "they don't know who they are" succeeded by images of the glittering pyri...

@Floveleyton Which was likewise my point, that you didn't go for those moments.

As a promo piece, your amuse-bouche both tempts the palate and whets the blade for what is clearly the antithesis of a "simple" chick flick. Whilst the geek in me perceives the instant Trek connection between the two male protagonists (Tom Hardy was "Nemesis's" villain, Pine the new Kirk), I hav...

As the film manifestation of that Camelot which was evoked in reference to the Kennedys, as a fluid testament to the skills of Richard Harris and Vanessa Redgrave, and, more recently, as a reminder of what we lost with Natasha, her daughter, this works wondrously to weave the timeless enchantment...

This atypical endeavour still bears those inherent hallmarks of rhythm and reason which distinguish the more regular result of your effort, but this encapsulation and encomium of the siblings' healthy interdependence also sheds new light on the recent wrap-up for the series, the wrenching that pe...

A comprehensive cataract of recollections, from the first trickle released by the one truth (Vegetarian, no olives), through the vertiginous vortex of vineyards and stations of Europe and rendered real once more by an understated but categorical proposal, all the way back to the beach where indep...

Carrying "love gone wrong" from its immediate exemplar into the palpable tension between two Hs is but the first of many deft and defining juxtapositions to be found here, such as "what is lost" falling within Harry's active memory, simultaneously bearing the echoes of the fundamental detriment w...

To encompass the key relationships from the catalyst (Bryce) to the last major piece (Sarah's mother), to intertwine the moments that humanised "Agent Frankenstein" (to quote the series' Bond) from bonsai to the "one thing the Russians do well", this almost vertiginous variegation, this pellucid ...

In a manner no less than one would anticipate or wish, you have taken that quirkily passionate thread which was the quintessentia of Chuck, and wrapped it anew in a brief fable, through sound and image narrating the too-brief journey in all its whistle-stop glory. The conceit that Sarah is the be...

The tracing and embroidery which with relief discerns the rich waft and weave of this tangled tapestry, the concurrent and causal threads which intertwine to elevate the mere mixture to astonishing amalgam, these are proximal consequence of material and motivation alike. The recurrent but not rep...

As the linewalker and pragmatician trapped between the poles of Storybrooke, the man "from a grey home" has proven a fascinating and oft incalculable factor in the flux that has been the story so far. The seeming oxymoron in the Sheriff as Prisoner blossoms becomingly here in this compact, compel...

@Lois4Kent As I believe I have no cause to comment unless I have something positive to say and enjoyment to express, any work I feel moved to remark upon is indeed one which I have relished and savoured.

In complete accord with your musical pronouncement, I was compelled to view on by the beautifully apropos lyric-matched opening, which simultaneously supported the song, yet showed how much more there was to the tale. More so perhaps than any other SV character the "empty space" in Chloe's case i...

As a synthesis of two beloved elements my expectations were both high and inflexible, but you have unquestionably exceeded them all. The lingering strain, that Clark himself was unaware of the profundity of his bond with Chloe, is recurrent throughout, and manifest in Tom's wondrously subtle shif...

The opening, with the exchange that so explicitly yet nonverbally displays Lois' shattered heart that she is once more not good enough to be truly loved, lays the groundwork for a far longer brief journey than is typically tackled here, and so impresses right out of the gate. Thereafter the avoid...

That the primal response is literal "photograph", that which is written in light. instantly elevates this ambitious and amazing amalgam, tapping those shortcuts which any true relationship evolves and betimes effervesces, soaring to the supernal, placing the Last Son, rightfully, among the modern...

Both the piquant, impactful vid and your own comments raise an interesting point, to an outsider. How far is a monarch an impersonal conservator, stripped by their very "elevation" of the right or opportunity for individual judgment and intrinsically as hidebound as the laws they are (generally) ...

As ever, a confection of craft and creativity, pellucid and pulchritudinous by turns, and whilst "the final straw" takes this far beyond a roll in the hay, out into the uncharted depths of confluence, there is a lingering spark of the Dauphin, the "child of 25", which, for me, forges chasms in th...

Although I adore Karen's voice and skill, the opening stills here have caused me to wonder - What, beyond her brother, did her eyes see? Her body image, given her weight loss, must have been other than what we observed on camera, but for the first time here I noticed how rarely her gaze is at res...

Each encounter with your work unlocks, without entirely exposing, a fascinating facet of your panoply of vocal performance. Here there is the non-arboreal pine, the lambent longing for a location intimated to be of the Parisian variety, which is to say, a moveable feast. The yearning seems to yaw...

Whilst clearly possessed of a most mellifluous instrument, you also imbue the piece with that which Stephen Sondheim so often found lacking in singers, the sound variation of action associative. There is a clear suggestion of immediate stimulus, of a Euterpean impulse rather than a Mnemosynean fe...

The first quantum of impression is of the diurnal schism, of those verities which are intrinsically night-blooming, of temporary truths fully intended but lacking the root complex to withstand the burning scrutiny of the sun. Obviously, the sanguinarily-impaired nature of one set of protagonists ...

Given the modern-day Ra roots of Kal-El, and by extension the Aurora and "rosy-fingered Dawn" who anchors and inspires him, a more fitting title is indeed difficult to envision. Lois' insuperable spirit has been her indomitable strength and greatest obstacle alike, acceptance being as alien to he...

"True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation." George Washington.

You and Emily clearly have cultivated a sapling of promise, when the fruit proves so sweet.

The impression out of the gate is largely shaped by the "Stopping by woods" lift around 0.25, which feels like the sluice for a cavalcade of moments from Euterpian springs. The cyclic strophe themselves eddy back in iterative forms, demonstrating the micro-, meso- and macrocosmic similarities and...

There is a lucent and lucid, in the literal, deployment of illuminants and the angling thereof, which casts into contrast and limelight alike a serried selection of comingled moments, and from their presence and passage both distils a heady brew, a meet mead out of the tantalising tune and attend...

The choral character of the piece is but the first of several twists in the tale, all of them eminently suitable and contributive to the puissance and pulchritude of the whole. The fatal rotation seen to and from Clark, the sanguine nails - on Lois, the Clark dwelling on Lana who can't see what's...

With so omnipresent a song (on YT) one does not necessarily anticipate innovation, at least in the core component, yet this male POV piece is the first of several leaps away from the tried and true which work à merveille. The intersecting past/present of "flashback" wonderfully interweaves with t...

Each of these characters has had their drought times, in terms of capacity for true communication, and the early "just by being around" sets the tone beautifully, as does the singer's rich relish of the lyrics in toto. As the close of the fast approaches rapidly, this was a kaleidoscopic trawl th...

@kissmrule Thank you so much for leaving a comment, and such a positive one. It's always great to know when people have enjoyed the vid.

There is something in the portrayals which speaks of characters on the cusp, personae pupate and transitional, a suitable setting since, as I understand it, this is a newly-minted season in all its spice and savour. Du Lac here seems to possess the "gaijin" status of his original intrusion into t...

The spirit/flesh dichotomy in vampires comes through clearly in this amuse-bouche, and the glide in celluloid shadow o'er the slumbering maid is somehow both poignant and aprorpos, holding out considerable promise for the finished product.

The interweaving tendrils of song and script, the conflict and coincidence of words written and uttered, create sonic peaks and troughs which, carrrying quanta of their own, intersect and interact to adorn the screen with a new, unanticipated chiaroscuro, where the viewer's own anticipations are ...

Resonant, engaging, and, like this interpretation of the iconic detective, doing plenty with the entanglement of roots to make the endgame unclear and surprising even for the cognoscenti. Sherlock's self-diagnosis as a high-functioning sociopath makes the percentage breakdown even more plausible,...

There is a narrative immediacy, flow and relevance, a balladic Jagannath in chariots of Phoebus adorned with literary and light touches alike which renders moot any need to dissect the selection of song. The lie in question seems a sin of omission, a self-protective skein woven around an integral...

As ever an enchanting vignette of alternative vintage to your manifold Gwen/Arthur pieces, set against a backdrop of Mr. Dwight's musical delight from 1970 in suitable cross-section to highlight but that small measure of the lyrics which so admirably intersects with your intent. In your version t...

The last section was simply a reworking of the concept of "truthiness", in that what works for anything with the lifespan of a vampire need not bear any resemblance to reality as a human understands it - "All that glitters is not gold", in other words. These are merely visceral reactions, the fir...

Knowing almost nothing of the series, the first and lingering impression, manifest and melodic, is of cost, of the ultimate risk and betimes sacrifice called for by a life devoted. The relief in which the, I presume, hero stands to his background simultaneously punches him up and cuts him off the...
