 Unlike in Hollywood blockbusters, there is no true hero, savior, messiah, or new American man saving the world.

 The very appearance of Godzilla, wild and completely inhuman, breathes new life into what is a true cultural myth in Japan.

Shin Godzilla revisits the iconic monster with a fresh blend of homage and innovation under Hideaki Anno's direction. The film highlights Japan's governmental response to catastrophe, combining slow-building tension with spectacular effects. Departing from typical hero-centric monster films, it offers a nuanced, human perspective. The mix of traditional puppetry and CGI creates a uniquely terrifying Godzilla. Overall, the film is a thoughtful reflection on Japan’s history and modern challenges. Experience the powerful new take on a legendary monster—watch Shin Godzilla today and explore Japan's epic struggle through Anno’s vision.

 Everything is perfect, but the tracers fired by Tom Hardy water the Emils and the HE111s with infuriating ease.

 Dunkirk will remain impressed for how it is shot, conceived, experienced, for how it vibrates and gasps.

This review highlights Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk as a technically brilliant film with superb visuals, sound design, and practical effects. However, it critiques the movie for lacking the true chaos, horror, and emotional intensity of war. The reviewer appreciates Nolan’s craft but finds the film ultimately unfulfilling and somewhat static despite its tense pacing. The portrayal of historical events is seen as reduced to stylized moments, missing much of war’s brutal reality. Discover the stunning visuals and bold approach of Dunkirk—experience Nolan’s war epic and decide for yourself how it captures history.

 The world of Terminator is no more, submerged by the handovers from one production house to another, lost in the limbo of aborted and restarted pre-productions.

 Schwarzenegger? Practically useless; he’s no longer a cyborg but a bloated and puffed-up old man who strings together pseudo-scientific jargons.

Terminator Genesys is criticized for its lack of originality, poor acting, and failure to honor the legacy of the original films. The movie is overloaded with clichés and uninspired special effects. Schwarzenegger's role feels outdated, and the storyline dilutes the dark, cold nature of the original Skynet threat. While some old scenes are well executed due to nostalgia, the overall film feels like a disappointing reboot with limited value. Discover why Terminator Genesys struggles to revive the franchise—read the full review and decide if it’s worth your time.

 The special effects are indeed elementary, but their rudimentary artisanal charm makes them genuine and in their own way effective and coherent.

 Crude and bizarre, imaginative and naive, Flash Gordon is a cult in its own way.

Flash Gordon (1980) is a flawed yet strangely captivating sci-fi film marked by rudimentary special effects, impressive sets and costumes, and a campy script. While the direction and characters feel clichéd and often ridiculous, the film's baroque charm and genuine silliness give it cult appeal. Max Von Sydow’s portrayal of Ming the Merciless stands out amidst caricatured roles. Despite its shortcomings, it reflects a lost era of filmmaking that remains visually imaginative and nostalgically entertaining. Discover the charm and kitsch of Flash Gordon—watch the cult classic and explore its unique style!

 The black-and-white charm of SR-388 was something I’d never seen before, which attracted me incredibly.

 That’s when I realized Samus Aran is actually a girl, one of the first video game heroines, who apparently has gone through worse than Lara Croft.

Metroid II: Return of Samus left a lasting impression as a challenging and atmospheric Game Boy game. Its eerie world, tough enemies, and mysterious heroine captivated the reviewer’s childhood. Despite its difficulty, the game's dark tone and innovative design made it unforgettable, especially the surprising reveal of Samus as one of gaming's first female protagonists. Dive into the dark and thrilling world of Metroid II – experience the classic that unveiled a legendary heroine!

 The Iron Giant is a wonderful film, bordering on masterpiece.

 Souls don’t die, Hogarth tells the giant—and indeed, good souls can guide us.

Brad Bird's The Iron Giant is an exquisitely crafted animated film set during the Cold War, blending warm 1950s visuals with a heartfelt story of friendship and identity. The film tackles complex themes around weaponry, fear, and choice through its memorable characters and unique robot design. Despite its initial box-office failure, it stands out as a sensitive and timeless classic. Its influence can be seen in later sci-fi films, and the optimistic message resonates strongly today. Watch The Iron Giant and experience a touching animated tale full of heart, humor, and hope.

 War creeps like men in the snow, expands into the souls of soldiers, rains from the sky like the ghostly flakes of a storm, and bursts into a deadly fire only to fall silent again.

 These are the days of our deaths. If you can, remember them.

Ermanno Olmi’s 'Torneranno i prati' transcends conventional war films by delivering a poetic and documentary-style portrayal of WWI. The film focuses on the silent, cold, and brutal reality of soldiers on the Italian front rather than battle dramatics. Through slow rhythms and majestic snow-covered imagery, it reveals the emotional and physical toll of war as experienced during endless, desolate nights. The film serves as a haunting memory of a great trauma often overlooked. Discover the silent depths of WWI through Olmi’s haunting film—watch 'Torneranno i prati' and reflect on the human cost of war.

 Hollywood does not know (anymore?) how to make monster movies.

 One of the film’s major flaws is the absurd insistence on the deeds of the military, in this case stupid, careless, and idiotic as never before.

This review critically examines Gareth Edwards' 2014 Godzilla reboot, highlighting a confusing plot, ineffective military depiction, and overly dark CGI scenes. Despite some well-made monster effects and brief thrilling moments, the film falls short due to its pacing, screenplay, and failure to capture the spirit of classic monster movies. The reviewer suggests that simpler storytelling and better use of monster battles could improve future films in the genre. Discover why Godzilla 2014 fails as a monster movie—read the full review and decide if it’s worth your time!

 Lovecraft does not propose any philosophical solution, does not seek the truth, does not even dream of making proselytes.

 The Ancients have been, the Ancients are, the Ancients will be, man is only an incident, a ridiculous jester who deludes himself of having control over himself.

The review analyzes Lovecraft's 1926 story The Call of Cthulhu, highlighting its nihilistic worldview and original approach to horror. It discusses Lovecraft's personal struggles and how they shaped his writing, presenting the story as a cold, calculated exploration of cosmic terror beyond human comprehension. Although the pacing may feel dated, its influence and imaginative power remain unmatched. The story's tragic grandeur lies in its portrayal of humanity as insignificant in an indifferent cosmos. Discover the chilling depth of Lovecraft’s cosmic horror—read or listen to The Call of Cthulhu today and dive into the abyss.

 Let it be clear that we are not facing a masterpiece or a miracle, just a work that works.

 They are simply talented people, and I got confirmation last November when I saw them live in Segrate. They are fun, intense, they have fun and entertain, there’s nothing more to say.
