 Like Sin City, but in 1970s Naples. Said like that, it sounds cool, and indeed the potential is enormous.

 I don’t like it, not when we’re talking about the Camorra. Sin City is one thing, Naples is another.

Igort's film '5 è il numero perfetto' offers impressive visuals reminiscent of comic books and a 1970s Naples atmosphere. The acting is strong, particularly from Servillo and Argento, but the narrative feels skeletal and insufficient for cinema. While ambitious, the film’s stylized violence clashes with the gravity of Camorra themes, resulting in a courageous yet flawed genre effort. Discover Igort’s visually bold take on Naples crime — watch '5 è il numero perfetto' and decide if style beats story.

 Fear Inoculum is poorly assembled, it almost sounds like instrumental tracks with a guy passing by who decides to try singing over them.

 Tool’s music worked because of the sharpness it created with MJK’s vocal evolutions... Now that the words thin out, slow down, become less urgent and aggressive, the entire musical cathedral suffers.

After a 13-year wait, Tool’s Fear Inoculum arrives as a lengthy, sprawling album that feels rushed and unfocused. The vocals appear hastily added over long, repetitive instrumental jams, weakening the band's signature dynamic. While some moments, like Adam Jones’ guitar work, offer emotional highs, the overall experience lacks the urgency and sharpness that defined past works. This album may please dedicated fans but ultimately falls short of expectations. Discover why Fear Inoculum divides Tool fans—listen and judge if the wait was worth it.

 The battle is between the world of tradition... and the modern, frenzied world, without god and superstitions, without fear and without an idea of home as a place of roots.

 The choice of the great filmmaker is radical: his is an anti-epic narrative, anti-heroic, anti-romantic; it is comedic, frivolous, clownish.
