 Being curious, feeling profoundly ignorant, and taking inspiration from those who think differently to change perspective is perhaps the only way to be more immune to fake news.

This review thoughtfully evaluates Samuel P. Huntington’s book as a profound geopolitical analysis contrasting with Francis Fukuyama’s optimistic views. The reviewer highlights the complexity of civilizations, critiques simplistic worldviews, and stresses the importance of critical thinking.

The review encourages openness to diverse theories for better understanding global developments. Explore Huntington’s influential ideas and rethink global conflicts by reading this insightful review and the book itself.

 Every now and then I like to watch silly movies to switch off my brain, have a hearty laugh without undercurrents.

 If you want to do trash, it needs to be trash to the core.

Cocainorao by Elizabeth Banks embraces its absurd and trashy nature, delivering light horror mixed with slapstick comedy. With intentionally poor special effects and a simple good-versus-evil plot, it offers laughs and distraction. The film doesn’t take itself seriously and is a fun, quick watch. Though it could have leaned harder into trashiness, it still entertains, helped by a decent pace and Ray Liotta’s final performance. Watch Cocainorao for a wild, trashy comedy experience that delivers laughs and absurd thrills!

 Leaves in the Wind is essential and poetic in its extreme coldness and simplicity.

 The glasses emptied with a rhythmic cadence, practically in every scene, underscore the social plague of alcoholism in the Scandinavian countries.

It also serves as a heartfelt love letter to cinema’s magic. Discover the chaotic brilliance of Babylon—watch it now for a mesmerizing journey through Hollywood’s roaring twenties!

 Limes appeals to me because it talks to us about the color gray in all its thousands of shades.

 Every time I finish an issue I feel more ignorant and I have to admit that all in all it’s a great feeling.

 "It’s a half mess because it’s a series devoid of even the slightest touch of genius. Simply boring."

 "...making it a negligible product, full of craft but lacking elegance."

This review offers a critical perspective on Tim Burton's 'Wednesday' TV series, describing it as dull, predictable, and lacking the creativity and depth seen in Burton's earlier films. Despite high production quality, the series fails to engage, with bland characters and a storyline that falls flat. Only the character Thing is seen as credible, while the overall feel is compared unfavorably to subpar Harry Potter films. The reviewer laments a lack of sharp satire and poetic imagery, which Burton once mastered. Explore our full review and decide if Tim Burton’s Wednesday is worth your attention.

 Östlund's film is quite entertaining but it tremendously recalls Parasite without reaching its heights.

 At times funny and irreverent but repetitive and with very slow rhythms that make an appealing and cunning work lose its bite.

The review critiques Ruben Östlund's Triangle of Sadness as a sharp satire targeting superficial Western society and capitalism. While entertaining, it lacks the originality and genius of comparable films like Parasite. The narrative is divided into three parts with notable but uneven impact. The film’s slow pace and repetition dilute its critical bite, leading to a sense of missed opportunity. Explore the sharp social satire of Triangle of Sadness—watch it now and join the conversation on capitalism and culture.

 Taras’ love story is a crescendo of moving sweetness with the aroma of coffee drunk from an ashtray.

 Ellison writes like this. A classic prose that within just ten lines becomes experimental, surreal, psychedelic, and dreamlike with constant shifts in rhythm where the reader almost struggles to keep up.

 The novel is raw, pessimistic, devoid of rhetoric and compassion, and unfortunately, it offers no solution other than the realization of one’s invisibility; the starting point from which to face the world for future redemption.

 "Bunker knows what he’s talking about: he doesn’t simplify reality, he doesn’t trivialize the problems an inmate faces after his sentence is served."
