Dan Mazer: Dirty Grandpa
File Video Not intrested ★
The comedy, which aims to bring together the young generation’s star Zac Efron with one of Hollywood’s greatest actors, Robert De Niro, is practically one of the worst films (I’m not exaggerating) I have ever seen in my life. It’s not exactly a teen comedy, nor a witty comedy or one that contains any didactic content. At times even vulgar, it’s a succession of situations and gags that are as predictable as they are banal, and rightly make the viewing experience feel like a complete waste of time. Your time.
Danny Boyle: Trance
File Video I have it ★★★★★
Masterful psychological thriller directed by Danny Boyle and starring James McAvoy, Vincent Cassel, and the beautiful Rosario Dawson. Writing about the plot in a few lines is practically impossible given the numerous twists and intertwining narratives within the storyline. A film that is essentially a thriller but at the same time a kind of lysergic journey, placing at the heart of the events considerations related to hypnosis therapy and the more or less unconscious removal of memories. The director skillfully explains each key point of the film throughout the plot and until the end, without ruining the surprises for the audience or creating confusion. A beautiful film.

David Hare: Page Eight
File Video Not intrested ★
British film initially released on the BBC television network (which was also involved in its production). A spy story set in contemporary times where international political intrigues concerning the subtle ties between the UK and the USA regarding the situation in the Middle East and the international policies adopted by their respective intelligence services are intertwined with elements related to the family and personal life of the main character, agent and analyst Johnny Worricker, portrayed by Bill Nighy. And perhaps it is precisely his performance that keeps this film afloat, which, in fact, seems to leak from all sides, boring the audience, and what appear to be mysteries seem instead to have already been revealed or, in any case, not to interest the viewer at all.
David Koepp: Ghost Town
File Video Not intrested ★
A romantic comedy that is at least somewhat original, directed by David Kloepp (screenwriter of 'Jurassic Park', 'Carlito's Way', and 'Mission Impossible', as well as the deadly and rightly denigrated 'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull'). A cynical dentist, angry with the world and played by Ricky Gervais, gains the ability to see and interact with the dead and what can be called the ghosts of various souls in limbo after complications from a mundane routine procedure. This experience will change his life, leading him to rediscover love and the joy of living. Happy ending. Applause. Curtain.
David Lynch: The Straight Story
File Video I lack ★★★★★
A film by David Lynch based on a true story, brilliantly performed by Richard Farnsworth, who was nominated for an Oscar for this film. Old Alvin Straight, living in Iowa, learns that his brother Lyle has suffered a heart attack and is in poor health. Eager to reunite with him after so long and lacking a driver's license, he will travel across the USA to Wisconsin (where his brother lives) on a tractor. It is a beautiful story and an original road movie, a great film that speaks for itself and should be watched in one go from start to finish.

    I just want to add (but I shouldn't) WONDERFUL...

    Go on, that comment fits perfectly. Have you seen (very likely you have) 'Nebraska' by Alexander Payne? It's a film that I instinctively associate with this masterpiece by Lynch. Another literally WONDERFUL film with a gigantic Bruce Dern.

    Seen seen... when Hollywood lands in the U.S. provinces, it rarely misses a shot!
David O. Russell: Joy
File Video I lack ★★★
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.

Dead Skeletons: Live in Berlin
File Audio I have it ★★
Live recorded in Berlin in 2013 and released on double vinyl by Fuzz Club on April 1, 2016. The live versions are not better than the originals (they don’t add anything) for a band that likely delivers at its maximum potential also and especially visually, where the live dimension effectively becomes a true 'happening'. For enthusiasts.
Death Valley Girls: Street Venom
File Audio I have it ★★★★
The only album released so far in 2014 via Burger Records by this group of bad (very bad) girls from Los Angeles, California, who play a garage music infected with psychedelia and acid psychobilly and blues echoes of Gun Club. Sounds that I would ultimately compare to the rock and roll of Night Beats, but 'Street Venom' manages to sound even rawer, becoming at times almost punk. A pure adrenaline rush.

Deerhoof: The Magic
File Audio Not intrested ★
One of the most esteemed indie-pop bands, Deerhoof are back with a new album ('The Magic') recorded in seven days in an abandoned office in a New Mexico desert. A kaleidoscopic album in which the band melds together influences from different genres with an approach that connects to kraut-rock and some elements of post-rock music. An album that you could easily define as pop music with components of indie-rock, electronic music, and trip-hop, which places the band close to another realm of independent music like Cibo Matto and a derivative due to the freaky rhythmic section reminiscent of a band like Can. In the end, it’s a good album, but nothing seems to linger with me after so many listenings.
Denis Villeneuve: Sicario
File Video I lack ★★★
It’s the last film I’ve seen in theaters to date. Directed by Denis Villeneuve, it stars the talented Emily Blunt as a young FBI agent who takes part in a special operation to put an end to drug trafficking between the USA and Mexico. Also part of the mission are two shadowy figures: Matt Graver (Josh Brolin), who leads the operations, and the mysterious Alejandro (Benicio del Toro). Kate Macer, the name of the protagonist, will find herself involved in a world where there is no boundary between what is legal and what is not. Even with some exaggeration typical of the genre and particularly in the portrayal of daily life in Mexico, the film works. It's a great thriller in which the performances of the actors stand out.
Donovan: Mellow Yellow
File Audio I have it ★★★★
It's not my favorite album by Donovan, and perhaps (I say perhaps) not even his best work, but we are clearly facing one of the fundamental records of sixties psychedelia (Paul McCartney is among the guest artists on the album) and the most influential among the Scottish songwriter's works.
Donovan: Barabajagal
File Audio I have it ★★★★
An album with a peculiar gestation that, for various reasons, might never have seen the light of day. Initially released only in the USA with the collaboration of excellent musicians including Jeff Beck, Ronnie Wood, and Rod Stewart, the result is an extravagant album with a unique brightness, where the listener, right from the first track, 'Barabajagal', is immersed in an allegorical and visionary dimension, perhaps more acidic than in any of the Scottish songwriter's other productions. 'Atlantis' is one of the most beautiful songs of those years.
