Rob Zombie: La Casa dei 1000 Corpi
28 jun 12
A decent horror film, well-directed by Rob Zombie (better as a director than as a musician), there are some clever directorial touches; in short, the film is quite good. It is certainly a rather obvious homage to '70s horror films, above all "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre." Nothing new or original, but still quite enjoyable. A decent film.

    The sequel is a nice film indeed, with an amazing ending. This one is watchable but in the end, nothing special; it starts well, continues poorly, and ends worse.

    one of the worst movies I've ever seen; if this film is decent, then anything that's thrown at us is redeemable.

Even better than the previous one. Here Zombi gives us a beautiful film. The idea of role reversal is great, the opening scene is lovely, and the finale with the trio of psychopaths riddled with bullets by the police set to the solo of "Free Bird" is spectacular. It’s practically a beautiful road movie with horror shades. Very nice, it’s a pity that Zombi seems to have already run out of steam.

Linear, simple film, with an overly moralistic and feel-good ending, but I appreciated it very much, probably because the situations it describes are more than plausible, and because Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep are always two wonderful guarantees of quality (Hoffman already well-established, Meryl at the beginning of her career, fresh off a role in that blockbuster "The Deer Hunter").
Very beautiful.

An excellent directorial debut for Bob De Niro, who directs this Bronx story—an atypical and unique gangster movie—based on the screenplay by his friend and co-star Palminteri, straddling the line between violence and sentiment. De Niro is great both in his usual role as an actor and in his new role as a director, with Palminteri excelling, and the young actors who play Lorenzo's (De Niro) son, first as a child and then as a teenager, also delivering strong performances. A nice cameo from Joe Pesci. De Niro as a director receives high marks.

Sometimes it drags on excessively, but it remains a beautiful story, told with immense simplicity by an outstanding character, portrayed by a superb Tom Hanks. One of the best films from the uneven Zemeckis.

Roman Polanski: Repulsion
8 apr 12
Perhaps the pinnacle of early Polanski (the one before Rosemary's Baby), a sickly, surreal thriller (the scene with the hands emerging from the walls is stunning), exhausting. Deneuve, besides being beautiful, is exceptional in portraying Carol's relentless descent into the abyss of madness. Excellent ending. Perhaps not a masterpiece (like "The Tenant") but still a beautiful film.

Roman Polanski’s masterpiece, directed at the age of 68. A wonderful biographical masterpiece about the life of pianist Wladyslaw Szpilman and at the same time a very autobiographical film. Brutal and ruthless from beginning to end but, especially in the final part, incredibly moving. The German officer who helps Szpilman is magnificent, and of whom the Polish pianist will not manage to learn the name at least until after the death of the officer himself, in a Soviet gulag...

A masterpiece from the Polish director, perhaps among his best, alongside "Repulsion," the finest of the 1960s. Bolstered by Donald Pleasance's outstanding performance, with an intriguing screenplay and Polanski's excellent direction, the film captivates and is highly enjoyable, culminating in a crescendo of situations that lead to the hectic, mad, and desperate ending—perhaps the only possible one in such a "Cul De Sac."

Great film. A masterfully directed Polanski brings out the best in a brilliant Jodie Foster, an excellent Kate Winslet, an outstanding Christopher Waltz, and a convincing Reilly in a film that exposes all the falsehoods and hypocrisies of the two couples, which are often found in bourgeois families (and not only). The ending is superb.

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.

It would be a nice 4.5 rounded down to 4 just for personal taste. Whether it's a 4 or a 5, this gem remains an essential record for every fan of Pop, with a capital P. Unmistakable style and sounds (Phil Spector producing and co-authoring many tracks), the wonderful use of drums, and an immortal song like "Be My Baby." We are in 1964, and after almost 51 years, this still stands among the most beautiful pop records of all time.

Well, it's better than the debut, even if it doesn't blow me away. The important thing is that the true trio of Rush is born here, with the arrival of Neil Peart on drums, who immediately takes control of the lyrics, beginning to create those fantasy-science fiction micro-worlds that will characterize the band's vision in the years to come; of course, the difference between Peart's drumming and that of the previous drummer is the same as that between grandma's bundt cake and a stale cookie that ended up under the couch in 1987, roughly. I'm not crazy about their "power-rock" from this early period, all pumped up, shouted (from the shrillness of that great bassist Geddy, as far as voice...) and tacky, which will influence a lot of the terrible "hard" that follows for me, although a couple of tracks are fun; however, there are starting to be more interesting things on this album, "By-Tor" is the first track with a more complex structure and changes in rhythm and atmosphere, paving the way for their later typical "hard-prog" or "power-prog," while "Rivendell" introduces their more bucolic and pastoral side, a delicately beautiful acoustic ballad with dreamy lyrics that evoke a fantasy atmosphere, enhanced by a lovely melody. This is the album where a more defined and personal style begins to emerge in Rush.

First album for Rush, by the way without Peart on drums (played by one John Rutsey); practically a duo (Lee-Lifeson) + 1. A very conventional hard rock album, played by two musicians with unquestionable high technical skill (already here it's a pleasure to hear Geddy's bass, not so much to hear his voice that's like a chicken being strangled) but very green when it comes to ideas, personal style, and songwriting. Sometimes they venture into territories that seem like lesser apocryphal Led Zeppelin in tone (definitely) minor, and Lee seems to be an awkward cross between Plant and a car alarm siren; in other songs (I’m thinking of his singing in "Finding My Way") he instead comes off as a spiritual guide for future generations of sharp-beaked hard/metal poultry, and it’s hard rock that is very much rooted in those coordinates (and without reaching the level of the best hard 'n' roll of bands like, I don't know, AC/DC from the immediately following years). It’s not a bad album, no, in fact there are nice things to be found in "Here Again" (a good Hard-Rock-Blues track which is indeed a lesser apocryphal of Led but more than respectable) or in the long instrumental introduction of "Before and After," where Lee prefers to let his bass sing for a couple of minutes, a very commendable choice, thank you. A fundamental piece was missing for the birth of the "true" Canadian trio, this is a decent but lukewarm introduction.

A great gap filled, Sam Cooke... An album that is actually a true collection of "hits," but what songs, what interpretations, and what a voice, guys! It's a super fun record with no flaws in its just 29 minutes of music. Standout tracks: the title track, "Somebody Have Mercy," and "Whole Lotta Woman." In the latter, Cooke's voice and interpretation really move me deeply. Not a masterpiece, but it’s incredibly entertaining. A giant.
