John Carpenter — Lost Themes II | DeRank™: 0,00

A must-have release via Sacred Bones Records for all fans of the great John Carpenter, who, it must be said, is my favorite filmmaker. With 'Lost Themes II,' the director and musician, a master in the horror and thriller genres, gifts us with another twelve compositions of progressive electronic instrumental music in his historically known style, given his long career as a producer and composer of soundtracks in addition to being a director. Unmissable for enthusiasts, as mentioned, but perhaps less enjoyable than the first chapter released last year, also for the same label. more

David O. Russell — Joy | DeRank™: 0,00

The film, half drama and half biopic, not without a touch of irony and some funny moments, tells the true story of Joy Mangano, the inventor of a revolutionary mop and an innovator in the realm of TV infomercials. David O. Russell brings back the trio of Bob De Niro, Bradley Cooper, and Jennifer Lawrence, but the film revolves entirely around the latter, who, in my opinion, is simply brilliant and incredibly talented, constituting the film's real strength. The reason. more

One of the best films released in 2015. It's inevitable to think of 'Reservation Road' by Terry George, from which this film partially draws its themes. James Franco is skilled and versatile in portraying different parts and does well here too, where perhaps the development of the plot may not please everyone. At the heart of it, there is not so much guilt or a thirst for revenge or anger; what prevails is always the desire to find balance. In this sense, it is a drama with a happy ending after all. more

Neil Young | DeRank™: 0,52

So intense are his songs, his lyrics, and his albums that I find it hard to come up with other adjectives to describe his greatness. Only someone like him could create albums like "Everybody Knows This is Nowhere," "After The Gold Rush," "The Harvest," "On The Beach," "Tonight's The Night," "Rust Never Sleeps"... more

Lenny Abrahamson — Room | DeRank™: 0,00

Perhaps it's his most ambitious film and one that will earn him/given him significant recognition, but I, who have seen and greatly appreciated all of Abrahamson's films, found this one to have less strength compared to the others. There are still connections to his typical themes. Instead of a person hiding behind a mask like in 'Frank', here we have a young woman and her son who are held captive by a man in a room for seven years, resulting in the necessity for them to eventually confront life as it is, without any filters or alterations. Clearly inspired by the Fritzl case and that of Natascha Kampusch, I am positively impressed by actress Brie Larson, who here is indeed experiencing her definitive consecration. more

Elisa Toffoli | DeRank™: 0,26

Please forgive my lack of objectivity, but seeing her flail around on Amici like any ordinary fishmonger, doing trashy skits and displaying ridiculous victimhood on social media really made me lose respect for her. Poor thing and pathetic. more

Van Halen — 5150 | DeRank™: 0,00

Replacing a charismatic vocalist like D.L. Roth was not easy, and the band rightly played it safe by opting for Hagar (who was already quite well-known at the time). The album comes across as tougher compared to its predecessor, which had embraced softer sounds... "Dreams" remains in my top five of their most beautiful tracks! more

Justin Hardy — Captain Webb | DeRank™: 0,00

The story of the great and historic feat accomplished by Captain Matthew Webb, who in 1875 became the first person to swim across the English Channel. Ultimately recognized with the title of 'The Greatest Englishman', he lost his life years later while seeking a new challenge swimming through the Whirlpool Rapids of Niagara. The film is his story, that of a man who, for no particular reason — but perhaps, and I say perhaps, just because he is a man (in the sense of species) — seeks to go beyond his limits and ultimately achieves the feat. Very beautiful. more

You have a great voice that you could use to sing some "revolution." For the rest, some of your tracks are not bad. It's a shame you still want to reflect the musical conformity that sullies the commercial scene. more

Cristo | DeRank™: 4,19

You have always been one of my idols, the patriarch of the revolutionary pacifist model. As for the rest, I agree with Gaber. You know, when you told Peter that you would build your Church on that rock: fortunately, you put someone like Bergoglio in charge because otherwise, you really messed up! Take comfort: no one is perfect, not even you. But I will always care for you... more
