Woody Allen Irrational Man

Allen rarely misses with his films; in fact, it's almost impossible (that Roman one doesn’t count, he never did it). What I miss... his production from 2000 to today, starting with that gem "The Curse of the Jade Scorpion" (Helen Hunt magnificent, atmospheres meticulously crafted with a '40s touch), is at good to excellent levels.

J. J. Abrams Il risveglio della Forza

Technically a good film, rhythm, cinematography, special effects that combine models with computer graphics. Nothing to say. It serves as the "incipit" chapter of the new trilogy and stretches many threads that "VIII" and "IX" will need to weave into a dense and coherent plot with the other chapters. Is it a remake of "IV"? Perhaps, but it's ten times more solid in terms of plot; the original was full of holes and ridiculous dialogue (at least in the Italian dubbing). She is fantastic, she has probably already been trained (something can be inferred) and has Skywalker blood, the lightsaber calls to her. When she pilots the Falcon, she does it exceptionally, it has never been piloted like this...the scene where she stalls it to hit the fighter is fantastic.

Making quality Pop is difficult; they haven't been able to do it, their last three LPs are inconsistent and definitely ugly to me.

Just one name: Mick Taylor, "a guitarist of another level" (Keith Richards). It's mostly all his doing; the cunning duo Jagger-Richards will steal many of his ideas even in the future, and the great Mick will let them drown in the mediocrity of any Ronnie "boozy" Wood. Great album... I deduce a "newsstand" effect as a driving force.

I don't know the series, but your review makes me want to. Beautiful and engaging. Well done, London!

The Beatles Eleanor Rigby/Yellow submarine

"Yellow Submarine" is a stroke of genius. It contains the first sampled sounds in the history of rock music, and it's a children's song sung everywhere.

A fantastic album.

They no longer have anything to say, for me they end with Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. An unreviewable review as it is not a review.

Paul McCartney Unplugged - The Official Bootleg

1 oct 15

Voto:

It’s the first of its kind; among other things, he had already recorded an Unplugged in '73, "The Backyard" (unreleased), and he had the acoustic interlude in the Wings Over The World set in '76. A precursor. Too bad the choice of tracks limited to '70 is too narrow. A collectible piece, the vinyl. Withdrawn on the same day of its release.
