I have to run! We can talk about it later. However, I want to make one thing clear: I only watched Paura d'amare because a friend of mine told me you could see Michelle Pfeiffer's pears!

In Donnie Brasco and That Afternoon, he's not exactly cool, clever, and genius. In Angels in America, he's an ultra-cynical gay man who finds himself with AIDS and a scrambled brain. In Fear of Loving, he plays a pizza maker or something like that (I saw it at least 20 years ago, so I might be mistaken). Other than that, let's say he knows how to be "cool, clever, and genius" in a wide variety of ways: there’s a big difference between Michael Corleone, Tony Montana, and Carlito Brigante (all criminals, but I’d say with distinctly different styles). Just as there’s a difference between Serpico, Steve Burns, and the guy from Insomnia (all police officers, but not all exactly cool, clever, and genius). It also seems to me that there's quite a difference between Ricky Roma from Glengarry Glen Ross (who is indeed cool, clever, and genius) and the blind guy from Scent of a Woman (who, by the way, makes me laugh, but I just used him as an example). Regarding the fact that he too often plays "the Al Pacino role", I agree, but I wouldn’t say he can’t act. If we really want to nitpick about the actors you've mentioned, Depp has been competing with himself for years to see how many grimaces he can make in one shot, and Hopkins has repeated the character of the perfect Englishman—concerned about appearances but with a heart that beats strong—over and over. Well, Volontè is not like that. Volontè was probably the greatest transformist I have ever seen act.

Alright. But know that it will make you suffer. It's one of those that only teases you to get your coupons for free diapers.

This whole thing about subjectivity is increasingly becoming the cover behind which every nonsense is justified. And God forbid you point it out, because then you’re just a know-it-all. With this obsession with relativism at all costs, someone will eventually come up to me and say that my grandmother is as hot as Megan Fox. And despite the fact that it's evident to everyone that my grandmother is way, way hotter. For instance, one night I ended up arguing with someone who claimed that Al Pacino was terrible at acting. Al Pacino. Not Al Bano. Not Al Capone. No. Al Pacino. And sure, we’re talking about Halloween here, not - I don’t know - Citizen Kane. But to see him dismissed as if he were just some "Blood Valentine 3D," well, maybe not.

The difference is that I gave it a 4 (not a 2) and I still wrote a decidedly positive review of a film that you rate as a 5, explaining my lack of a 5 by pointing out that it’s a somewhat immature film by a 28-year-old director, who recycles many themes from the noir tradition (does "The Asphalt Jungle" – six years earlier – ring a bell? By the way, "Reservoir Dogs" is also inspired by at least a dozen other films, but never mind), and by noting that the same director would undoubtedly do (much) better later on. Meanwhile, you've dismissed a film, which along with "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre," kicked off the series of "invincible villains" like "Friday the 13th," as a "good little movie" that’s worth 2 balls, claiming it has "nothing exceptional or particular," even though it boasts countless sequels/attempts at imitation and has remarkable directorial insights, such as the use of the steady-cam (by the way, in a very makeshift version, since the production provided Carpenter with pretty much only the money for the film). Plus, you have an exemplary track record of misjudgments regarding films. Believe me: the suspicion that you have some issues with one or more appliances is more than legitimate.

If for you Armed Robbery is a 5-star movie, it means you have some issues with the DVD, the stereo, and probably even with the microwave. Unless you want to put it on the same level as A Clockwork Orange and 2001: A Space Odyssey, in which case I throw in the towel. In Halloween, you won't find anything "exceptional and unique" for the simple reason that, from '78 until today, there have been roughly a thousand other slashers shot on the exact same formula as this film, all trying in vain to replicate its insights and effectiveness while using a budget with a few more zeros. In short, not exactly what you would call "a good little movie."

One of the best in the series. Perhaps one of the most violent and tense. Among the most entertaining. But also among the saddest.

So from the 2 to the first Halloween, you judge the Alien saga as "unwatchable" and give 5 to Forrest Gump. In my opinion, you have some issues with your VCR.

I've always loved this album. It's not as robust as the first one (unbeatable), and it has a slightly more "heavy," more straightforward feel, but there are certain riffs and vocal lines that, after more than twenty years, turn sparrows' asses into bike racks.

Alexx, let it go. Reading other people's comments is an outdated practice now... :)
