Rhyming Reviews: Transformers Dark of The Moon

2011-11-11T03:07:00.000-08:00

This review took an awful long time to put together. No wonder, with a movie so hard to get through.

Halloween sketch: Count Spatula watches Maven of The Eventide

2011-10-30T10:06:00.001-07:00

This Halloween I bring back Count Spatula from Job Interview with The Vampire, the Halloween video I made in 2009. It's also different from what I've done before, since it's a tribute to Elisa Hansen of Team Nostalgia Chick, who I'm a big fan of.

Rhyming Reviews: Smallville Finale

2011-05-29T04:10:00.000-07:00

This time I talk about Finale, the ending two-parter episode of TV series Smallville.

Santa Claus has something to say

2011-04-09T00:04:00.000-07:00

This was recorded by Santa from his workshop at The North Pole in March 2011. Some people have tried to keep this from ever being shown to the public, but I've decided to show it to the world. The reason is to show how stressful things can be for Santa Claus.

Rhyming Reviews: Superman/Batman: Apocalypse

2011-03-26T05:49:00.000-07:00

As you may notice, I still haven't quite gotten over the death of my cat yet. And my fixation for superheroines makes me get a little carried away.

Rhyming Reviews: TRON Legacy

2011-01-09T03:48:00.000-08:00

New Year, new review! Besides starting off 2011 with my review of TRON: Legacy, I also take the time to tell about my New Year's resolution.

Me at The Vampire Ball Pt. 1

2010-12-02T13:55:00.000-08:00

The first part of 3 of my vlog about The Vampire Ball in London. I didn't get much footage from the actual convention as it's mostly me talking into the camera about my experience. Hopefully it might be enjoyable still.

Rhyming Reviews: Batman - Under The Red Hood

2010-11-14T03:48:00.000-08:00

The fate of my cat is revealed in my review for Batman: Under The Red Hood. And it aint pretty... :(

Halloween sketch: The Legend of The Tale of The Jensen Gruber Chronicles

2010-10-31T09:57:00.000-07:00

This is a sketch I made especially for Halloween, featuring Mark, a character I've played twice before. It's sort of becoming a tradition. In the first two Mark is more of a sidekick, but I decided to give him "top billing" this year.

Vampires in London

2010-10-31T09:55:00.000-07:00

A YouTube vlog where I talk about a trip I'm doing to London in November, for a convention called The Vampire Ball.

Rhyming Reviews: Vampires Suck

2010-10-20T04:37:00.000-07:00

Just in time for Halloween, I've made a review of Vampires Suck, by the same guys who brought us monstrosities such as Meet The Spartans and Epic Movie.

PS: This contains a follow-up to Lunatic Austrian's Summer Hits review where I made my cameo, so you might want to check it if you haven't already for the sake of continuity. Her website is still www.rubinasworld.com

EDIT: After some technical problems, I had to reupload the video. Hopefully, it'll work a lot better this time. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Lunatic Austrian's Pop Review: Summer Hits (feat. me in a cameo)

2010-09-05T01:46:00.000-07:00

I've recently made a new friend online, named Rubina Mirfattahi aka Lunatic Austrian, who does sketches and reviews of pop music. She asked me to make a cameo in her latest pop review, where she talks about summer hits. I appear at the end of the video.

You can see more of her work at her homepage: http://www.rubinasworld.com

Rhyming Reviews: The A-Team

2010-08-20T13:51:00.000-07:00

Apologies in advance for the bad audio. Gonna try to avoid repeating that in the future. And for the crude language to those who may be a bit sensitive to that sort of thing.

Rhyming Reviews: Robin Hood

2010-08-18T11:48:00.000-07:00

This one took a while to post here. One reason for that is that I've been focusing on making the next review, which should come up shortly after this.

Response to Brittani Taylor's Shout Out Sunday #33

2010-08-02T12:30:00.000-07:00

A video I made as a response to Shout Out Sunday, a series of videos made by YouTube sensation. Brittani Louise Taylor. In her video, she asked for replies starting with "Somebody stole my..."

YouTube vid: Dakostro swears (the Green Lantern oath)

2010-07-31T11:22:00.000-07:00

This is a spoof of Ryan Reynolds at Comic Con in San Diego 2010. After a kid asked him at a Q&A what it feels like to say the Green Lantern oath, he was kind enough to recite to the audience.

Rhyming Reviews: Iron Man 2

2010-07-28T06:15:00.000-07:00

Yet another review of a comic book movie. I have a feeling a big part of these will be that genre.

Rhyming Reviews: Justice League - Crisis on Two Earths

2010-07-21T11:39:00.000-07:00

The longest one I've made so far, but the one I've had the most fun making.

Rhyming Reviews: Alice in Wonderland

2010-07-18T00:01:00.001-07:00

We all get a little crazy sometimes...

Rhyming Reviews: Planet Hulk

2010-07-15T12:02:00.000-07:00

Told you I was a comic book geek. :P

Rhyming Reviews: The Wolfman

2010-07-14T13:08:00.000-07:00

The first review where I include something of a plot. Also, the first one that includes another character than my Dakostro persona (which I've retroactively dubbed Wolfostro).

Rhyming Reviews: Smallville - Absolute Justice

2010-07-13T13:08:00.000-07:00

My first review of a comic-based property. Since I'm quite a comic book geek, I've made quite a lot of those and probably will be making a lot more. Also note that this is the first review where I'm wearing my red jacket instead of the orange one.

Rhyming Reviews: Sherlock Holmes

2010-07-12T11:45:00.000-07:00

Pardon the fake British accent.

Rhyming Reviews: Avatar

2010-07-11T01:02:00.000-07:00

This is my first episode of Rhyming Reviews. You can probably tell this is the first, cause of its flaws. I hadn't quite figured out my rhythm yet and I'm still using my crappy web camera. Hopefully you'll be able to notice some type of development through the rest of the videos.

Hello, Blogspot!

2010-07-08T02:27:00.000-07:00

Hey there.

This is my first post on my Blogspot page, so I figure I might need to introduce myself. My name is Dan Sjöström, although I got by the username Dakostro on some websites, including YouTube, where I make comedy videos, some vlogs and other stuff.

http://youtube.com/user/dakostro

Another site where I make videos is Blip.tv, where I make a series of movie reviews called Rhyming Reviews. The name of that show is pretty much a no-brainer once you've watched it. ;)

http://bibliobabble.blip.tv/
(Biblio Babble was the name of some book reviews I first made, that I wasn't too satisfied with, so I moved on to Rhyming Reviews instead.)

Besides that, I love to write and I've even written a book called "A Flock of Justice - All roads lead to Old Mac City", which you can find on Lulu.com, both in English and my native language, Swedish. I'm working on a sequel and plan to make it a whole series.

Thanks for stopping by to check my page. I'll try to update this site as often as possible with videos, news about my writing and perhaps some musings every now and then. 'Til then, take care. :)
