Music & Shows

TV Shows

Dark Angel
Good and original story, the decors and setting are great and it has Jessica Alba.

Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog
Where blog, musical, super heroes and drama come together.

Firefly
An unusual, and thus very unique science fiction show. One to watch again and again.

Glee
Shows with people singing are cool.

House
Not sure if this a medical drama or just a comedy. Hugh Laurie is brilliant in this show.

Friends
The one and only. Just classic comedy.

Grey’s Anatomy
Great medical drama with great new actors.

Joan of Arcadia
What if you had the ability to see and talk with Jesus…

Scrubs (Site)
Although the later episodes get a bit boring, it’s a great medical comedy show.

TV Animation

Futurama
The adventures of Fry, the professor, Leela, Dr. Zoidberg, Bender and more. Always fun to watch this comedy in space.

Dutch Shows

De Wereld Draait Door
Een programma waar actualiteit, entertainment en humor bij elkaar samenkomen.

Musicals

Miss Saigon
This classic title is my favorite musical. The music is superb and together with the theater, the emotions will give you shivers.

The Lion King
Just a feast to watch.

Movies

Seven Pounds
Touching story, great acting, great cast.

August Rush
If you can’t do without music in your life, you’ll understand this movie.

The Fifth Element
One of my favorite actors Bruce Willis plays in this crazy science fiction movie. The visuals, the actors, the music, the story, it’s all great.

The Matrix
The first movie of the trilogy is still my favorite: The innovative special effects together with the story make it all

Blade Runner
Just another classic science fiction movie, based on the book “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?”

The Green Mile
Waterworld
Alien Legacy
Star Wars

Favorite Artists

Tori Amos

I always found Tori’s music sound pure, serene. Her choice of instruments is also interesting, like the clavichord. I do think that the songs on her earlier albums were more unique, distinct, even to each other. I’ve been to one of her concerts, and it was great.

Taken: 11 June 2005, Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Taken at Tori Amos’ The Original Sinsuality Tour

Michael Jackson

The music that Michael Jackson makes is brilliant. The beats, the melodies. Too bad there are people who release remixed versions of good, original songs. And of course his choreography.
