Far from being the masterpiece that one hears about everywhere, it ultimately ends up being yet another didactic film. However, the skill of Scorsese, an undeniably talented director though not a genius, manages to capture the viewer's attention until the very end despite the excessive length. more
Perfect. A film that will make history. more
Deserves a 5 until 1981, then the void. Made a comeback in 1994 with the wonderful "L'imperfetto," only to quickly return to anonymity and blandness. 3.5... I'll leave a 4 out of affection... more

The CERVELLO are part of that magnificent roster that animated the Italian music scene in the 70s, still narcotized by the romantic way of managing music and feeding it to the sclerotic masses dominated by big sister TV that dictated the law. However, fortunately, the cries of '68 had brought new realities to the surface, injecting fresh life into everything, including music. It’s precisely from Naples and its ferment that Cervello created a work of extraordinary beauty: the album Melos stands as a milestone not only for the uniqueness of the project but also for the original proposal itself, unimaginable until then and still immensely enjoyable. The music is made of voices, winds, and strings that forcefully evoke the harmonies that could accompany the ancient pagan rites of ancient Greece. Thus, Neapolis takes the stage with musicians who have proven over time to be authentic stars, who breathed life into new groups of the Napoli sound. Ultimately, the album should be listened to in one go, immersing oneself in a world of authentic historical fairy tale. Enjoy the listening. more
Great until 1997, commercially valid until 2008, then the void. Dead. more
Mafia-existential drama in five seasons + a two-part finale that, in addition to inaugurating the so-called "Golden Age of Television" and carving its name in capital letters at the top of the list of the greatest TV shows of all time according to Rolling Stone, gave us the coolest, kindest, and most violent villain ever— the overweight and charming New Jersey boss Anthony "Tony" Soprano, portrayed by the gigantic and forever-missed James Gandolfini. Total. more

The musical material is very good, but the album itself (aside from all the typical limitations of greatest hits collections) leaves something to be desired in terms of sound editing and information. more
The roots of soul are at home. more
"Spirito DiVino" his latest album worthy of some consideration: then, just a couple of singles taken from "Shake." From there on, except for single songs, it has become unlistenable. 3.5 on the rise... more
Good debut and then just sludge! more
Puzzling, ethereal, elusive, yet more "within reach" than one might think...unmissable. more
With the help of some "enforcers," hired by Marley himself, he convinced the radio stations to play his songs. more
For me, the antimusicality of the Italian scene. Off-key, loud, and almost nothing in terms of lyrics and musical solutions. The brother is a better pilot than she is a rocker. more
The best song of the new century, and it will remain so. more
A brilliant composer during the Oasis era, interesting as a solo artist. He can be annoying, and I don't think it bothers him, but undoubtedly the real jerks in the music scene are quite different. more

bootleg in Foxboro 1993....good recording. more
