Horror Talk with Rich Ragsdale – Director, Composer, Producer and Writer

September 19, 2021 by Teh Chin LiangLeave a Comment

“Ghost House” is one of the best horror movies I have seen in a long time. The horror elements are so original and raw  - the jump scare, the atmosphere, the soundtrack etc, everything is done completely right.

I remember when the movie was over, I immediately pulled out my phone … [Read more...]

Incomparable and Magnificent Istanbul

February 12, 2019 by Abdul RastagarLeave a Comment

“If a blind man should gaze upon the world but one day, he should gaze upon Istanbul.” – Alphonse de Lamartine Few places elicit the “It's the most beautiful city I have ever seen!” reaction as frequently as Istanbul. Those were also my exact sentiments the first time I visited back in 2004. Today, 15 years later, as I stroll the empty streets of downtown Istanbul in the middle of the night, I remember why I have ever since felt this way. I … [Read more...]

October 20, 2016 by Linda CLeave a Comment

The actual time spent travelling is often considered to be the dullest part of travelling. You have to sit on the train, bus, plane, or whatever and simply wait until you arrive at your final destination. And even if you’re driving yourself it isn’t too thrilling either, especially if you are driving for many hours, without a break.
