 Like an artichoke, Verdena offers us first the spines and the bitter, woody, inedible leaves. Only those who love them can patiently reach the inner sweetness of the fruit.

 It seems that in every riff, in every chord, something much greater than the outcome of a song is at stake.

 After over an hour of tooth-crunching... I realized I couldn’t remember what happened to that guy they were talking about.

Bullet Train offers a frenetic action comedy with skillful stunt work and an ultra-pop aesthetic. The film features seven killers aboard a high-speed train, tangled in revenge and survival plots. While the action and comedic moments impress, the narrative can become overcrowded and hard to follow. The film's emotional depth struggles to shine through the relentless pace, resulting in an entertaining but somewhat overwhelming experience. Dive into Bullet Train’s thrilling ride of action and comedy—watch now and experience the high-speed chaos!

 It feels like sensing the stimulus of the blade that opens the muscles and etches into the bones.

The film delves deeply into themes of eroticism, transgression, and the meaning of human sensation through stark, unsettling imagery and dialogue.

 The surgical lucidity with which Anthony exposes his scars is impressive, almost vivisecting himself and the people he has encountered.

 A monstrously sincere book in everything it examines, and it’s not just about drugs.

Scar Tissue is an unflinching memoir by Anthony Kiedis that explores his tumultuous life filled with drug addiction, personal demons, and the harsh realities of rock stardom. The narrative is brutally honest and lucid, revealing not only his own scars but the darker sides of 1970s Los Angeles and the music world. Kiedis presents a self-critical account of his mistakes and desires, offering a deeply human and reflective perspective. This memoir serves as both a gripping life story and a cautionary tale about addiction and survival. Read Anthony Kiedis’ Scar Tissue for an unfiltered look at addiction and rock stardom’s darkest moments.

 Woodstock 1999 can easily be placed in one of the lowest circles of music festivals.

 That violent rebellion is a last gasp of dignity against power, but at the same time, it nests within infinite depravities.

The review highlights the appalling conditions and misconduct at Woodstock 1999, including extreme greed, violence, and neglect. Jamie Crawford’s documentary documents these horrors but offers little new insight. The festival is portrayed as a symbol of capitalism’s darkest excesses and cultural decline, marking a profound social failure at the turn of the millennium. Explore Jamie Crawford’s vivid Woodstock '99 documentary and understand the chaos behind one of the most infamous music festivals ever.

 The faces around, somehow, bear a mark of pain... a suffering to be expiated, to be purged like a poison that can only be liberated through this bacchanal.

 Mario Duplantier pounding on the double bass like a machine gun... the music soon becomes a simple and almost indistinct soundtrack to the diabolical circus.

The review captures the intense and visceral atmosphere of Gojira's 2022 Carroponte live show, focusing on the dedicated crowd and energetic performance.

 It’s as if every gesture, every guitar note, those words uttered in Oxford English of which we understand very little, are all symbolic gestures.

 As if that were his only concert of the summer, as if we were his chosen audience, as if he had written those phrases just for us, for me.

The review captures the intense emotional journey of attending The Smile's live show in Ferrara. It highlights the deep connection fans have with Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood's music and the significance of witnessing the band's one-album performance and unreleased songs. The concert is described as a unique, almost sacred event that brings together diverse fans through rock and passion. Despite limited history compared to Radiohead, the live set embodies talent, energy, and heartfelt delivery. Dive into the heartfelt energy of The Smile’s live show – listen and relive the magic in Ferrara now!

 Without that name, they can return to being themselves, without the fear of disappointing or seeing a 6.0 on Pitchfork.

 An adrenaline rush not felt in a while in Tom and his friends’ records. That intellectual violence which, however, knows how to hit the gut.

The Smile's debut album sheds the pressure of Radiohead's name, allowing Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, and Tom Skinner to explore fresh musical territory. The album blends electronic, jazz, and orchestral elements with accessible song structures, showcasing their instrumental passion and creative energy. While the first half delivers intense energy and inventive sounds, the second half dips into more atmospheric territory reminiscent of Radiohead's style. Overall, the album is a strong, tactile musical experience with room for growth. Listen to The Smile’s debut and discover a fresh sound beyond Radiohead’s legacy.

 The Northman is a film of style, which never conveys a sense of authenticity.

 Words must go hand in hand with the vision: emphatic phrases can work in grand scenarios; here I see a wild and rough world prevailing, which would have better suited the reticence practiced.

The review highlights Robert Eggers' The Northman as a visually captivating Viking saga infused with dark mysticism and striking atmosphere. Despite its aesthetic strengths, the story is criticized for its flatness, verbosity, and lack of emotional depth. The director's vision impresses but fails to fully elevate the weak script and characters. Overall, the film is an intense stylistic experience with notable narrative shortcomings. Explore the mesmerizing yet flawed world of The Northman – watch it now and judge the Viking saga for yourself!
