Riccardo2013

 A kind of Korean Leonidas, in short, a commander unafraid to face death and to continue fighting despite the overwhelming number of opponents.

 The battle is extraordinary, both from a visual-choreographic standpoint, with excellent special effects and breathtaking shots, and from a rhetorical-emotional perspective.

Roaring Currents tells the legendary story of Admiral Yi, who defeated a vastly superior Japanese fleet with just 12 ships. The film impresses with epic visuals, strong acting by Min-Sik Choi, and a blend of spectacular battle scenes and reflective moments. Though it contains some clichés and sentimental phases, it remains a stirring and digestible historical war epic. It shares a stylistic kinship with John Woo’s Red Cliff but is more focused and concise. Watch Roaring Currents to experience the heroic saga of Admiral Yi's legendary naval victory!

 Only if you manage to get past this disconcerting sense of déjà-vu, you can appreciate the work in its fullness.

 It is the ensemble that works best, painting a picture of great beauty, like the Norwegian fjords from which Flunk hails.

Personal Stereo by Flunk initially gives a Bjork-like impression due to the vocalist's ethereal voice and the album's atmospheric sound. Though disorienting at first, deeper listening reveals a cohesive, dreamy, and hypnotic set of ten tracks. The album's strength lies in its overall ambiance rather than individual songs, reflecting the beauty of Norwegian landscapes. Listen to Flunk's Personal Stereo and immerse yourself in its hypnotic, dreamy soundscapes from Norway.

 Nothing particularly original or innovative in this new "Teen Movie," but it has the merit... of being pleasantly watchable.

 The protagonist is the model Cara Delevingne, absolutely unconvincing in her acting.

Città di Carta follows Quentin's awkward but engaging journey as he hunts for his missing neighbor Margo. While not groundbreaking, the film entertains with its likeable characters and friend dynamics. The lead avoids typical nerd stereotypes, and secondary roles add life, though some act caricatured. Cara Delevingne's acting is unconvincing but minimally disruptive. Overall, a pleasant, light watch suited for casual viewing. Watch Jake Schreier's Città di Carta for a fun, light-hearted teen movie experience!

 It undeniably sounds more commercial than other works by the group, more pop, but without losing too much in quality.

 Heartbroken (in my opinion the most beautiful song by Hooverphonic after ‘Mad About You’)... and the splendid Norwegian Stars.

This review covers Hooverphonic’s album 'The Night Before', notable for introducing new singer Noemie Wolfs. The sound leans more commercial and pop-oriented but retains quality. Key tracks like 'Heartbroken' and 'Norwegian Stars' stand out. Despite a few weaker moments, the album shows Alex Callier’s inspired songwriting and marks a fresh chapter for the band. Listen to Hooverphonic’s 'The Night Before' and experience a fresh pop evolution with Noemie Wolfs’ stunning vocals!
