 The film is wholly centered on the analysis and representation of the protagonist’s behaviors, which can appear extreme and even implausible, but which instead constitute scientifically proven realities.

 What is ultimately saved is only the fear for the three imprisoned girls. But that seems really too little to me.

Split (2016) serves as a sequel to Unbreakable and explores complex psychological themes through the character Kevin Wendell Crumb. While James McAvoy delivers a solid performance portraying multiple identities, the film falls short in pacing and storytelling compared to its predecessor. The blend of thriller and superhero elements creates an intriguing but uneven experience. Ultimately, the tension surrounding the kidnapped girls is the film's strongest aspect. Discover the psychological depths of Split and judge the film's unique take on identity and fear yourself.

 "Shadow on Everything is the delirious wail of a human being in the grip of their nightmares, confined in a soundproofed 10x10 room, desperately scratching the surface of the walls hoping someone will hear."

 Reid’s voice indeed greatly recalls Cave’s, though it doesn’t have the same expressive strength and is instead more slurred and garage-like, combining well with that Gun Club’s animalistic fury.

Bambara's album Shadow On Everything channels the raw, gritty essence of garage blues with influences from Nick Cave and early punk bands. The Brooklyn trio delivers a dark, intense sound full of haunting atmospheres and emotional intensity. Guest musicians enrich the textures, while Reid's vocal approach blends slurred garage style with animalistic fury. The album invites listeners into a claustrophobic, nightmarish sonic world that demands full immersion. Dive into Bambara's intense garage blues world—listen to Shadow On Everything and experience its raw, haunting power today!

 A story told in a humorous and intelligent way and without any rhetoric of any kind but instead with a sort of black humor in the style of the Coen brothers.

 The character of Nikita Khrushchev, portrayed by Steve Buscemi, grows from humble to decisive, becoming the film's absolute protagonist.

Armando Iannucci's film The Death of Stalin offers a sharp, darkly comedic portrayal of the power struggle following Stalin's death. With an outstanding ensemble cast led by Steve Buscemi, it combines surreal black humor with intelligent satire. The film steers clear of nostalgia or historical accuracy debates, instead delivering a farcical, incisive political comedy. Though banned in some ex-Soviet states, its success is undeniable. Watch The Death of Stalin for a sharp, dark comedy uncovering the chaos behind Soviet power shifts.

 Every single situation and 'topical' character should be considered as if they were pieces on a great three-dimensional chessboard that would then be our history, full of contradictions and dark pages.

 Resnick’s novel deserves to be read and almost 'analyzed' as it offers deeper meaning beyond its compelling and fluid plot.

Mike Resnick’s Purgatory is a compelling science fiction novel that explores colonialism and socio-political divide-and-rule tactics on the distant planet Karimon. The story highlights tribal conflicts, economic exploitation, and a rebellion led by Thomas Paka. Resnick integrates complex themes into an engaging narrative that invites thoughtful analysis while remaining accessible and enjoyable. The novel reflects broader historical and cultural issues through a futuristic lens. Dive into Mike Resnick’s Purgatory and uncover a thrilling tale of colonialism, rebellion, and survival on a distant world.

 Ryley Walker is thankfully in no way similar to forms of revisionism of American folk music like Jonathan Wilson or Father John Misty.

 You cannot sell every 'scribble' as if it were a Basquiat.

 The songs are objectively so flat they would leave even the most typical, flabby-bottomed, scarf-wearing, white New York pop-art collectors indifferent.

David Byrne’s album American Utopia, his first solo release in 14 years, arrives with considerable hype but ultimately feels flat and uninspired. Despite strong contributions from Brian Eno and notable collaborators, the songs lack freshness and fail to excite. The album is part of a multimedia project promoting optimism but suffers from Byrne’s characteristic melodramatic and frivolous style. Overall, it disappoints compared to Byrne’s earlier, more influential work. Discover the full review of David Byrne’s American Utopia and decide if this ambitious pop project resonates with you.

 "Freedom confirms itself as an album of psychedelia with dark tones and although repetitive, it is overall pleasant."

 The strong point remains McMahon’s hypnotic voice, which I believe loses much of its potential and magic with these more institutional forms.

Amen Dunes' Freedom marks a return after extensive work, blending dark psychedelia with pop influences. Though the album features strong vocals and interesting collaborations, it struggles with repetition and some weaker, indie-inspired moments. The review sees potential but notes the album doesn't fully recapture previous standout works. Discover Amen Dunes' Freedom—stream the album now and explore its rich psychedelic textures and hypnotic vocals.

 This is how 'Hippo Lite' was born, the second studio album by DRINKS, the duo composed of Cate Le Bon and Tim Presley (White Fence) who retreated for a month during the recording stages to the town of Saint-Hippolyte-du-Fort in the south of France.

 In my opinion, [the album] succeeds far less than the evident fun Cate and Tim had during their stay in this small characteristic rural center of France.

Drinks' 'Hippo Lite' is a lo-fi art-pop album shaped by the duo's month-long retreat to a quiet village in southern France. Inspired by nature, local sounds, and folk traditions, the album blends quirky, rustic elements with garage and Canterbury scene influences. Despite the evident enjoyment of the artists during the recording, the album ultimately falls short in its artistic impact. The review highlights the strong contextual background but criticizes the album's final effect as less successful than intended. Discover the rustic charm and experimental vibes of Drinks' 'Hippo Lite'—listen now and explore their unique lo-fi folk adventure!

 The question that arises ... is to what extent he can still be considered a member of the same species.

 How else could we define the fate of a human being made 'alien' and destined to be literally tested as a true survival experiment?
