Richard Linklater -A Scanner Darkly (Un Oscuro Scrutare)
hjhhjij
The most complete film by Linklater, an excellent and faithful adaptation of Dick's novel, and the best science fiction film of the 2000s. Intriguing, engaging. The technique used to portray the characters is beautiful. Reeves impressed me quite a bit (the only time), Downey Jr. is fantastic, Ryder is great (her first and only significant role in an important film for her since 2001), and the dedication written at the time of the novel by Dick to his friends who were victims of drugs is poignant. more
Nicolas Gessner -Quella Strana Ragazza che Abita in Fondo al Viale
hjhhjij
A particularly unique thriller, masterfully interpreted by 14-year-old Jodie Foster, fresh from her participation in the blockbuster "Taxi Driver," and an exceptional Martin Sheen, the future star of "Apocalypse Now," who brings to life a sly and sadistic character. A linear and simple story, yet it keeps you glued to the screen thanks to the skill of the two protagonists and the beauty of the music (Bach). An excellent film. more

Tom Shadyac — Ace Ventura | DeRank™: 0,00

Hugely silly film, made acceptable by the immense talent of Jim Carrey, always great as the rubber-faced comedian (although I much prefer him as a dramatic actor). more

Tom Shadyac — Bugiardo Bugiardo | DeRank™: 0,00

The usual silly and foolish comedy, the usual Carrey keeping the show afloat. But the following year, The Truman Show will arrive, and it will be a whole different Carrey. more
Tom Shadyac -Una Settimana da Dio
hjhhjij
The film by the mediocre Shadyac that I prefer. Carrey is in great form in the first part, which makes me laugh a lot, with a charming Freeman in the role of God. However, I find the second part unbearable. Nonetheless, it's a good comedy. more
Sam Raimi -L'armata delle tenebre
hjhhjij
One of the best absurdist films I've ever seen. An idiot movie to the core, stupid gags, Campbell is an idiot, the story is idiotic, everything is wonderfully, comically idiotic. Burlesquely fantastic. more
sam raimi -Evil Dead 2

sam raimi — Evil Dead 2 | DeRank™: 0,00

So trashy that it’s actually funny and enjoyable, grotesque and gory, as well as quite amusing. One of Sam's latest strokes of genius, but the first one remains on another level. more
Richard Marquand -guerre stellari ep 3: il ritorno dello jedi

Nice, it would have been a great conclusion. Still inferior to the first 2. more

Tiziano Sclavi — Dylan Dog | DeRank™: 0,00

One of the most famous and best-selling comics in Italy, a true media, cultural, and commercial phenomenon in the '90s, D.D., created by Tiziano Sclavi, remains one of the best Italian comics of the era regarding the first 100-121 issues (the first 10 years, basically), as it serves as an ideal link between commercial comics and author comics (if Dog is from 1986, just the year before "Watchmen" was released, for instance). In the decade from '86 to '96, there are quite a few truly excellent stories. Then came the decline. more
John McTiernan -Die Hard - Trappola Di Cristallo
hjhhjij
I'm not a big fan of action movies (which I usually keep at a healthy distance), nor of Bruce Willis, but Die Hard is really good. Well-directed, it entertains and engages at the same time; it's an objectively very good product. And then there's Alan Rickman, whom I personally adore, and here he delivers a fantastic performance. In short, one of the best films in the genre. 8 more
Mike Newell -Harry Potter e il Calice di Fuoco
hjhhjij
Worse than this in the saga is only the 6 in my opinion. A disconnected, confusing, bland film. Truly forgettable. more
John Boorman -L'Esorcista 2- L'Eretico
hjhhjij
If the first, with all its flaws, is a cornerstone of the horror genre, this is just a bland sequel, directed by John Boorman, who gifted us with a horror gem like Deliverance (1972), and from which one would reasonably expect something more. The flashbacks set in Africa, featuring Von Sydow, are very beautiful, but everything else is truly terrible. A mediocre film (except for the aforementioned scenes). 5 more
Mike Nichols -The Graduate - Il Laureato
hjhhjij
Today it seems dated, it is a film of its time, yet it remains a splendid film, with many memorable scenes, an amazing soundtrack (Sound of Silence is a masterpiece) and the first great performance by Dustin Hoffman. A great film, fun and always enjoyable to watch again. A classic. more
Tobe Hooper -The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
hjhhjij
A super classic of horror, in my top 5 of the genre. Raw, revolutionary, unsettling, grotesque. That family is exceptionally cruel, Leatherface is a super likable killer, and then there's the grandfather...
A fantastic film. more
Quentin Tarantino -Kill Bill Vol. 1
hjhhjij
Recently rewatched, it annoyed me even more than usual. I consider it immensely overrated. Good job by Thurman, but I just can't stand all those "kung fu" scenes. more
Quentin Tarantino -Kill Bill Vol. 2
hjhhjij
I’ve re-evaluated this one a bit; let’s just say it manages to save itself in the nick of time. Nice film, but come on Uma, Bill is charming, why did you have to kill him? The final scene is beautiful (except for the "Ken the Warrior" move). more
