King Crimson Red

I have a controversial relationship with King Crimson. On one hand, I love their genius and desire to experiment, while on the other hand I sometimes find them too sophisticated in contrast to their moments that seem almost pure improvisation.... Fripp's mathematical precision sometimes catches me off guard.

Ridley Scott Robin Hood

Ridley Scott is the creator of "The Duellists," "Alien," and "Blade Runner"... everything he has done since holds no importance for me... these 3 films are worth more than an entire career of a myriad of directors.

I saw a little something on TV: it’s not even remotely comparable to the times of Banana Republic, but that's obvious with 30 less on my back!! These two distinguished old gentlemen made me feel a bit sentimental.

Coldplay X&Y

Voto:

Well, I read Odradek's comment and others saying that Coldplay don't seem to resemble U2... they certainly don't in the first two albums, but in this X&Y, the similarity in at least four songs is striking... pardon me, striking to the ears... evidently, you haven't listened carefully to these tracks...

Coldplay X&Y

Well, the fact that it's a linear, clean, and non-demanding pop fits, but on this album they really sound like U2 in every way, no ifs ands or buts... I don't know what U2 were doing in the '70s, they were probably still in school, but I know that their first album "Boy" is from '80. The song dedicated by Martin to his wifey Gwyneth is excessively whiny; I believe it's the peak of Coldplay's whininess.

Alejandro Amenábar Mare Dentro

Voto:

I found Amenábar's "Open Your Eyes" and "The Others" excellent. I'd watch this one too, but the plot doesn't entice me; I've been avoiding sad themes lately.

Woody Allen Scoop

Voto:

Honestly, Woody's latest films don't excite me at all; I found Match Point to be really terrible... this one is nice, but, just to stay in the same vein as this film, the times of Misterioso Omicidio a Manhattan are light-years away, and not just for temporal reasons.
