 Oedipus Rex is the drama of man, whose arrogance makes him believe he can keep the inscrutable divine power in check.

 By blinding himself, the hero merely gives physicality to his human condition of 'non-seeing.'

Oedipus Rex, performed around 425 B.C., is a seminal work in ancient Greek tragic theater, exemplifying the conflict between human will and divine fate. Sophocles masterfully portrays Oedipus’s tragic downfall through irony and a powerful climax revealing his guilt and blindness—both literal and metaphorical. The review emphasizes the play’s enduring impact on Western culture and its complex exploration of human limitations and destiny. It is highly recommended for those new to ancient tragedy. Dive into the timeless tragedy of Oedipus Rex and explore the roots of Western drama today!

 I discover in the end that I didn’t have fun at all, and that the incompetent Bay, produced by Spielberg, played an awful hand that could have led to at least much more entertaining developments.

 The shots are frantic and often incomprehensible, the editing follows in quick succession, and the robots clashing appear as a jumble of colorful metal parts rolling in our faces.

The reviewer expected a fun, live-action Transformers spectacle but was met with confusing action, clichéd characters, poor acting, and a weak screenplay. While some special effects were impressive, the overall experience was disappointing. Key moments like the desert battle and robot reveals provided brief highlights. The film fails to capture the nostalgic charm and instead feels rushed and disjointed, resulting in frustration rather than enjoyment. Read this honest review before watching Michael Bay's Transformers and discover why nostalgia meets disappointment.

 Without any blasphemy, we find ourselves before a temple consecrated to art and the pursuit of the sublime.

 "Iron Duke is a cheap and unpleasant mishmash, accompanied by obtuse arrangements and delirious lyrics."

 "A truly terrible, untraceable album... appreciable for its paroxysmal roughness, the fascinating amateurism, and the latent madness of the musicians."

Clotho's Flail's sole album, Iron Duke, is an obscure 1970s progressive rock record inspired by the Battle of Jutland. Despite its ambitious concept, the album suffers from poor musicianship, disjointed arrangements, and awkward vocals. Its chaotic and experimental nature results in an abrasive listening experience. The final track shows slight improvement but remains largely monotonous. Iron Duke stands as a fascinating yet flawed relic of prog rock's more offbeat moments. Discover the raw ambition and strange charm of Clotho's Flail's Iron Duke – an obscure prog rock journey beyond the usual soundscape.

 "Alex l'ariete has unpredictable effects, induces a sensation very similar to physical pain."

 "Alberto Tomba off a ski slope seems like a sort of curly caveman wielding a gun as if it were an ice cream."

Alex l'Ariete is a disastrous film starring former ski champion Alberto Tomba in his terrible acting debut. The plot is predictable and poorly written, with amateurish direction and an awful soundtrack. Performances, especially by Tomba and Hunziker, are wooden and unconvincing. The movie fails as a police drama and is remembered as one of the worst Italian films ever. Watch 'Alex l'Ariete' to witness one of the worst films ever made—and see if it can get any worse!

 U2 decide not to be U2: in 1995 they enter the studio expanding the group with Brian Eno and Howie B., and experiment with ambient and electronic sounds.

 "Miss Sarajevo" is actually a sycophantic charity stew typical of Bono and his billionaire friends from the 'happy world club'.

Passengers - Original Soundtracks 1 sees U2 stepping away from their traditional sound to explore ambient and electronic music with Brian Eno and Howie B. The album creatively presents itself as soundtracks for imaginary films, resulting in mostly successful and cinematic compositions. While the first half is praised for its innovation, tracks like "Miss Sarajevo" and some later songs attract criticism for their poor execution and clichéd charity tone. The album remains a courageous, well-crafted experiment that marks a unique moment in U2's career. Discover U2's bold experimental side with Passengers - Original Soundtracks 1. Listen now and explore their cinematic sound journey!
