 This is the filmmaker’s testament, he has nothing more to say because here he says it all.

 The soul of cinema is in realities, it is the real that creates cinema, and this art cannot simply self-sustain.

 Spielberg’s The War of the Worlds is crap as a movie.

 An exemplary recap for novice students, without soul or ambition.

This review criticizes Steven Spielberg's War of the Worlds as a poorly aging blockbuster that lacks creativity and soul. The film's camera work, effects, and performances are described as mechanical and clichéd. Despite being faithful to the original novel, it fails to deliver emotional depth or cinematic innovation, resulting in a sterile and unimpressive sci-fi disaster movie. Discover why Spielberg’s War of the Worlds failed to impress—read the full review and decide for yourself!

 Martin Eden is the drama of consistency in a world that changes and reverses.

 Shots that are paintings, with the watermark changing, with their veils, their diaphragms, the decorations.

 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.

 Two proud men but not too proud to deny themselves the last ideal maternal embrace, unfolding before the public all their childish fragility.

 This love is more important than beliefs, philosophies, religions. It is all-encompassing, and a son can only sing the eternity of his mother.

 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.

 Shapeshifting is a cartoonish way of representing all that in human culture refuses to submit to the pure logic of profit and progress.

Pom Poko, directed by Isao Takahata, is a deeply moving film blending fantasy and documentary styles to explore the clash between tradition and modernity. Through the shapeshifting tanuki spirits, it reveals the loss of ancient culture and the rise of industrial progress. The film's tone balances farce and gravity, urging reflection on humanity's impact on nature. It acts as a thematic counterpart to Miyazaki’s Princess Mononoke, enriching the environmental discourse with unique cultural depth. Explore Pom Poko's rich tale of tradition versus progress—watch this unique Studio Ghibli masterpiece today!
