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
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
Worse than this in the saga is only the 6 in my opinion. A disconnected, confusing, bland film. Truly forgettable. more
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
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
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
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
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
Polanski is an outstanding director; this is perhaps slightly superior to the two previous films, and the level here is truly very high. An oppressive nightmare, evil in everyday life, evil that takes shape in the most innocent form possible. A newborn. Exceptional horror. more
The best film by Sam Peckinpah. Dustin Hoffman out of the ordinary; his explosion of fury at the end is masterful. A splendid film, the tension builds as the movie progresses, culminating in the last fantastic half hour. Stunning. more
In my opinion, Spielberg's best. The umpteenth way to interpret science fiction, here the aliens are good, just a bit curious. Technically spectacular, great special effects (for 1977), a great film, it ranks in the top 10 of science fiction movies. more
Very beautiful, scenographically bordering on perfection, and the performances are flawless. Forman proves to be a great director, telling the story of a genius, a genius who was also underrated at the time, a genius who died in poverty. The story is fictionalized (not the ending unfortunately), but effective. more
Wonderful. The masterpiece of Milos Forman, the pinnacle of Jack Nicholson, wonderful, theatrical, unstoppable. A film of incredible humanity, the screenplay is very simple, linear, yet it strikes with unheard-of force. The ending is history. A masterpiece. more
Superior to the first, here are the stories of Pfeiffer and De Vito, the film is better managed, it works better. In the first one, there was Nicholson who single-handedly (very well) carried the whole film, this one is more balanced, Pfeiffer and De Vito are exceptional, Walken is always great, and Keaton is impressive. One of Burton's best. Beautiful. more
