 Here, Brooker seems to have become timid, he dares very little nowadays.

 This is not Black Mirror, it’s another Netflix TV series, yet another useless one.

Black Mirror Season 5 marks a disappointing chapter in the series, lacking the innovative futuristic insights it was known for. The episodes feel conservative and safe, focusing on contemporary issues already well-explored elsewhere. Visual storytelling and plot development fall flat, with faint moralizing messages overshadowing imaginative narratives. Despite some promising ideas and strong performances, the overall impact is underwhelming. Read our review and decide if Black Mirror Season 5 lives up to its legacy or has lost its edge.

 "Showing the hero smashing heads even when it’s not necessary is certainly a good and just mission, necessary."

 "It’s all a provocation, a demonstration that all it takes is a former stuntman as director and a lot of irony to make a good action film."

John Wick 3 delivers an over-the-top action experience with a clever blend of style, relentless shootouts, and self-aware humor. The film embraces its own excesses, creating a near-parody of traditional action tropes while maintaining engaging fight choreography and aesthetic flair. Keanu Reeves leads as a bulletproof antihero in a world full of paradoxes and rules. Despite a somewhat thin plot, the movie’s audacity and irony make it an entertaining addition to the saga. Dive into John Wick 3’s relentless action and clever irony—experience this stylish shoot-’em-up today!

 A very predictable and ugly story, yet according to the screenwriters, it needs multiple explanations from the characters.

 In the end, it becomes a brawl not so different from Marvel’s (but much less beautiful, club fight vs duel at sword’s point, or the like).

Godzilla II disappoints with a predictable plot and oversimplified themes, abandoning the subtlety and balance of its predecessors. Despite impressive visual effects and monster battles, the story and character writing fall flat. The film attempts to compete with blockbuster franchises but lacks depth and coherence. Fans of traditional monster cinema may find this installment underwhelming. Read the full review and decide if Godzilla II's spectacle is worth your time or if you prefer classic monster cinema.

 After the seven moons of the apocalypse comes regeneration, after erotic despair comes love.

 Dalla sings with even more energy because he is no longer the humble prophet of the end of the world, but a herald who strains his voice to say that after death, of the world or every day, there is always an after, a rebirth, a dawn, a new year, a dance, a tango.

This review captures the emotional depth of Lucio Dalla’s self-titled album, highlighting its oscillation between despair and hope. The music combines pulsating bass, saxophone solos, and dramatic strings to support poetic lyrics and layered meanings. The album is situated between Dalla’s 1977 and 1980 works, portraying a complex mood of renewal amid skepticism. Milan serves as an emblematic backdrop, symbolizing the tension between life and death. Discover the evocative world of Lucio Dalla—listen to the album and experience its poetic dance between despair and hope.

 Beautiful images, fresh, as if Audiard were rethinking the genre from scratch in a film that is genre and beyond genre.

 To get noticed with a western, you need something more than this, which still remains a very respectable work in all its parts.

Jacques Audiard’s 'I Fratelli Sisters' offers a fresh take on the western genre with well-crafted characters and thoughtful themes. Despite its quality and strong performances, it lacks the intense charisma and malice that often define memorable westerns. The film explores complex moral questions and the fading Wild West, but its indecision between comedy and drama leaves the impact somewhat muted. Overall, a respectable and nuanced work that may not fully resonate with all western fans. Explore the nuanced world of 'I Fratelli Sisters' and discover a fresh take on the western genre.

 A great technology at the service of a lousy story.

 The chaos of the skirmishes and the poor response precision make it tough to give meaning to the strategies.

Final Fantasy XV presents cutting-edge graphics but fails to deliver a coherent and engaging story. Combat is chaotic and imprecise, while the open world and side missions often hinder pacing. The game's focus on accessibility reduces challenge, disappointing fans seeking depth. Despite some atmospheric moments, the overall experience feels like a missed opportunity. Discover if Final Fantasy XV lives up to the legacy or falls short—read the full review and dive into the game's world yourself!

 Lucas even had the narrative material to make a good movie, but precisely because the content is high (in theory), the mediocre artistic execution stands out even more.

 It’s an immersion into the roots of evil with a condom over your head, precluding from the start a true understanding of darkness.

This review criticizes Star Wars Episode III for its stiff acting, poor visual and narrative execution, and implausible character development. The reviewer expresses disappointment in Lucas’s handling of the trilogy and the inability to emotionally connect with the main characters. The film is described as ugly, dull, and failing to convincingly portray the dark transformation of Anakin Skywalker. Ultimately, the prequel trilogy’s failure is attributed to its simplistic moral framework. Discover why Star Wars Episode III divides fans—read the full critique and rethink the prequel trilogy’s darkest chapter.

 Good cinema is good even without politics. Remember that, dear Jordan Peele.

 The ever-increasing nagging doubt arises that the two strands are irreconcilable, and they undergo a cold fusion that serves only as a pretext to unleash the slaughter.

This review examines Jordan Peele's Us, questioning the coexistence of its horror thriller genre with political allegories. While the film succeeds stylistically with its music and cinematic techniques, it falls short in delivering a nuanced political message. The political discourse is seen as simplistic and overshadowed by genre requirements, though the film maintains engagement through clever sequences and pacing. Ultimately, the film earns a modest score of 6/10 for its strong filmmaking despite its thematic shortcomings. Discover the intriguing mix of horror and social themes in Jordan Peele's Us—watch the film and read the full review now!

 An adrenaline rush like Evangelion in Berserk mode.

 A sci-fi orgasm with no second thoughts.

The first episode of Tim Miller's Love, Death & Robots impresses with its intense visuals and action-packed storytelling. In just 17 minutes, it delivers violent, dark, and nihilistic sci-fi themes enriched by pop culture influences. The episode offers a thrilling experience akin to Evangelion and Berserk, balancing gore with a subtle moral layer. Despite Netflix's usual tendency to rework known motifs, this short captivates with its raw energy and aesthetic power. Watch the thrilling first episode of Love, Death & Robots and experience a dark, exhilarating sci-fi journey!

 It’s a pity that the film stumbles and squanders the enormous potential of the story.

 The finale is a condensation of good feelings by the kilo, which is pitiful in how clumsy and sugary it is.

Tim Burton’s Dumbo starts with a promising dark and melancholic tone, but ultimately fails to deliver a satisfying narrative. The film’s shallow characters, childish moralism, and poor plot development squander its potential. While the visual effects and some melancholic moments stand out, the overall execution is clumsy and uninspired. The story feels immature and overwhelmed by Disney's influence, leaving the remake disappointing. Discover why Tim Burton’s Dumbo falls short despite stunning visuals—read the full review and explore the film’s highs and lows.
