John Carpenter The Fog
Voto:
A great movie, much like pretty much all of his films from the 80s. The strong point is the truly enchanting and unsettling atmosphere, along with the soundtrack, which as usual is composed by him and always of high quality. My favorite Carpenter horror movie remains Il signore del male, which is likely my all-time favorite horror movie.
Mägo De Oz La Ciudad De Los Arboles

You've missed Gaia, which comes after Finisterra, and it's a really beautiful album. I haven't listened to this one; it's a genre that no longer interests me. Anyway, Mago de Oz are very original, and in the end, power is just an influence in their sound, not the genre they play.
Morbid Angel Entangled in Chaos

chaos and stereotyped the soft? but where? I don't mean to be a know-it-all, but what have you listened to? And especially after how many death groups have you listened? A death cd like blessed are the sick still has no equal, just like domination which has even been copied by Emperor or gateways which is claustrophobic and has a heartbeat-stopping rhythm section.

For me, Morbid Angel are currently the only death metal band I can listen to (I'll include Death as well); they are the most original and brilliant. Domination and Blessed Are the Sick manage to be even elegant despite the genre. The best!
Minutemen Double Nickels On The Dime

I was left speechless, we're in 1984 and yet this album has everything from 90s rock; you can already hear the Primus, the Red Hot funk, even the Pixies. It's perhaps one of the most seminal and influential albums of the 80s, sounding incredibly modern even today!
Prince Purple Rain
Voto:
great album, maybe sign'o times is more complete, but nonetheless they have different atmospheres and convey different feelings, both masterpieces
Prince Sign "O" The Times
Voto:
I completely agree with the reviewer who states that at first listen, the album remains indecipherable and the music is difficult to open up to. The only Prince song I knew was the more straightforward "Purple Rain," and finding myself faced with this monolith of "black music," so varied and in some parts minimal (like in the title track itself, a piece that maintains the same rhythm and notes for almost its entire duration) was incredibly challenging. Then I finally discovered what a great masterpiece it is, better and more complete than the still beautiful "Purple Rain." Prince is currently one of the artists I admire the most, eclectic and courageous, one of the few serious heirs of all the previous black music (especially from the '70s, particularly Sly and the Family Stone).
Joss Whedon Buffy The Vampire Slayer

alex84 Angel leaves at the end of the third season. Unlike other shows labeled as teen, Buffy doesn't play dirty by always presenting the same love story of "I love you, but I can't be with you, etc." The two, considering their impossibility to be together (slayer and vampire), break up, and this seems to me a bold narrative choice, especially considering that many followed Buffy for the Buffy-Angel couple. Unfortunately, not much is known about this series; I had my prejudices too, but then I realized it was something else thanks to knowledgeable reviews, including those made by thirty-somethings, because this series is not just watched by teenagers (in Italy, most of the audience is still teenagers, though).

alt alt here we talk about the history of TV, in fact I was thinking of reviewing it and I will, because yours, with all due respect, cries out for revenge. A series that, due to its numerous themes and experiments, is studied in American universities, ruined in Italy by childish dubbing, censorship, and absurd scheduling (the sixth season aired without commercials in late night because it was deemed too violent). The detractors are actually those who have seen only a few episodes or a season (not even carefully) in Italian. I recommend to lovers of "cinema" — you heard me right, cinema — to watch these episodes: "the body," the most realistic representation of the physicality of death ever aired on TV, no crying, no moralizing, pure and raw reality; many critics have admitted that even in the cinematic realm, such a structure has rarely been used (plus, an episode without music). Then there’s the episode "Hush," which Tim Burton would surely be proud of, a brilliant representation of the limits of human communication. "restless," a dreamlike masterpiece that owes much to Lynch but has nothing to envy him, enjoy the images even without understanding them, because those who don't actually know the plot of the series and the psychologies of the characters will find the episode to be a mental masturbation, which it isn’t, just enjoy the visionary nature of the images that evoke many archetypes present in everyone’s dreams. Then move on to the musical episode "once more with feeling" (before it became fashionable, before scribs), a true gem that overturns the concept of the musical while respecting its foundations. Once convinced of the artistic quality of the series, seek it out in its original subtitled language and enjoy it while reading various interesting analyses circulating online; it will help you appreciate the details. Yes, I think I will definitely write a review, especially because its revolutionary scope has been understood by very few!
