Vince Gilligan — Breaking Bad | DeRank™: 1,94

It changed today's television, no doubt about it. Much like Twin Peaks did in the '90s, BB came out at a time when the clones of Buffy were flooding the screen.
BB brought thrills, suspense, action, humor, and drama... to the small screen.
But what do the fans of Centovetrine know... more

Radiohead | DeRank™: 3,59

Above them hovers the stereotype that they are merely a bunch of poor depressed souls with fans perpetually tormented by suicidal instincts. And that’s wrong; I won't deny their melancholic streak, but they are so much more than that. Musically incredibly valid (ranging from the early alternative rock to the electronics of Kid A and Amnesiac), they can boast having composed some of the most influential albums in music history, and the themes of their lyrics vary from the alienation of modern man and the emptiness of his soul to politics and environmentalism (Pablo Honey excluded). I would dare say that they are one of the most important and influential bands to emerge in the '90s and still active (with the same lineup), if not the most important and influential. more

Call it salsa or latin-soul, whatever you prefer, but this album by Joe Bataan, born to a Filipino father and an African American mother, is a real blast. There are influences from various genres, from Latin sounds like boogaloo to more traditionally soul and African American vibes. 'Saint Latin's Day Massacre' is the soundtrack of the New York of Garland Jeffreys and that New York where Lou Reed has always sought to find himself throughout his life. The New York of Walter Hill's 'The Warriors' and the one sung by Ruben Blades in Sidney Lumet's 'Q&A'. The cover of Isaac Hayes' famous 'Shaft' theme is also charming, but it's not the only noteworthy moment in an album that really should be listened to in one breath from start to finish. more

James Griffiths — Cuban Fury | DeRank™: 0,00

A typically 'British' romantic comedy featuring the incredibly talented Nick Frost. At its core: the fantastic world of salsa. There are some similarities with other, even more 'serious' UK-made comedies, and in this sense, a tribute to the cinema of the great Ken Loach is unavoidable. Olivia Colman shines as always, and Rory Kinnear is excellent. Ian McShane's performance as the protagonist's old dance master is simply outstanding. more

EP released in 2014 by Blackball Universe in Oakland, California. Fantastic Negrito draws heavily from the history of African Americans and that of the blues. A guy dedicated to music since he was a kid, a multi-instrumentalist from a Muslim-orthodox family, growing up listening to Afro-traditional music, Arabic sounds, and Funkadelic, he literally converted to the blues after a fatal accident that somehow opened his mind. An interesting record with some soulful passages ('The Time Has Come') and neo-soul and hip-hop experiments ('Fever'). I know his first LP is set to be released soon; I'm at least curious to hear it. more

Eagulls — Ullages | DeRank™: 0,00

Even more pronounced than in their previous work, the references to all that is wave music shine through, both in the arrangements and the atmospheres of the album. The vocals are reminiscent of the best Robert Smith (perhaps even better than Robert Smith himself, let’s be honest). A band that undoubtedly has qualities and an album that is certainly good for fans of an extinct genre that lives on through periodic and continuous revivals. Over and out. more

Lust For Youth — Compassion | DeRank™: 0,00

Hannes Norrvide is definitely skilled when it comes to the revival of dark-wave and synth-pop sounds that were typical of the eighties, which are the secret to the success of his project Lust For Youth. Genre enthusiasts and nostalgia lovers will surely appreciate this latest work, 'Compassion', which, as far as I'm concerned, adds nothing to a genre that I believe has been drained and exhausted for some time now. more

Alan Arkin — Little Murders | DeRank™: 0,00

Taken from a play presented by Jules Feiffer in New York in 1967, the film (directed by Alan Arkin) is set in a violent and degenerated society. At the center of the story is Alfred Chamberlain (Elliott Gould), a young, disillusioned photographer who is unable to feel any kind of emotion and lets everything that happens to him wash over him. Nevertheless, he begins to date and eventually marries the tenacious and upbeat Patsy (Marcia Rodd). Starting a arduous process to try to change his life, her murder will irrevocably shake his existence. The ending is practically a crescendo of delusions and brilliant reflections on what society was like back then and what it is today. The performances of Vincent Gardenia stand out, along with the brief appearances of Donald Sutherland and Alan Arkin himself as a police inspector. more

Marco Travaglio | DeRank™: -2,79

As a careful commentator on judicial matters, over time he has convinced himself that he is the guardian of truth, that he can always distinguish what is right from what is wrong, who is guilty from who is innocent, a good law from a bad one.... It almost makes me want to have him elected prime minister by acclamation just to see what he would be capable of doing. For now, just empty bravado. more

Simple Minds | DeRank™: 0,00

The speech is inevitably similar to that of the U2, until the mid-80s excellent (personally, I didn’t even mind "street fighting years"), then they lost their way dramatically. In all this, the greatest paradox is that I find their works beyond "new gold dream" excellent, like "once upon a time" and "sparkle in the rain" (the one I prefer). Praise should also go to the performances of that time. more

Richard Rush — Getting Straight | DeRank™: 0,00

We are in the USA during the years of the Vietnam War, and the student protests are heating up. The protagonist is Harry (as usual, a fantastic Elliott Gould) who, after being fully involved in social protest for years, decides to try to finish his studies to become a teacher and obtain a role he considers useful within society. Due to this choice, he will find himself alone and against everyone, leading to a true identity crisis and the only possible admission: that it doesn't matter what you do, but what you truly are. In a way, it's a film that is always relevant, not so much for the social context but for individual choices and as a subject belonging to a social community. more
