 Stories of this type are not exciting. Especially in a genre like horror, where the recent years have been a triumph of banality.

 It’s unfortunate for the talented Zellweger, forced against her will to deal with a little demon but, above all, forced to act in a 'film' that is the result of the absolute lack of creativity into which American horror has sunk.

Case 39 falls victim to a stale horror trend featuring demonic children, failing to deliver originality or impactful scares. While the first half-hour shows promise, the film quickly deteriorates into unengaging and uninspired territory. Despite Renee Zellweger's talent, the film lacks creativity and gore intensity, making it a forgettable entry in recent American horror cinema. Read the full review and decide if Case 39 is worth your horror pick or a redundant trope to skip.

 "Wishbone Four is classic hard rock, indebted to the greats of the genre... with a decidedly drier and less 'baroque' style."

 "You can feel the breeze of the innocent rock of the seventies, the less cerebral and 'committed' one. Good music, good musicians."

Wishbone Ash’s fourth album, 'Wishbone Four,' delivers straightforward and earnest 70s hard rock with the signature twin guitar interplay between Ted Turner and Andy Powell. While overshadowed by the acclaimed 'Argus,' this album remains a solid work that captures the essence of classic rock.

It’s a nostalgic 40-minute journey into genuine rock craftsmanship. Discover the timeless twin guitar magic of Wishbone Ash on 'Wishbone Four' and dive into classic 70s hard rock today!

 Spielberg does nothing but showcase all his technical mastery behind the camera, never going beyond the superficiality that War Horse carries like a shadow.

 A film that relies entirely on a syrupy dramatic tone, redundant and often out of place, thus undermining the usual perfect images.

War Horse blends Spielberg's blockbuster spectacle with human drama but ultimately suffers from a superficial and syrupy narrative. Despite technical mastery and beautiful visuals, the film fails to explore its characters and historical context deeply. The drama often feels redundant and detracts from the film's potential emotional power. Discover the stunning visuals of War Horse but read why its story might leave you wanting more.

 The groundwork for a film on par with past quality was all there.

 Lawless fails to genuinely convince, stuck in familiar territory and not very impactful emotionally.

John Hillcoat's Lawless is a technically impressive film featuring a notable cast and stylish presentation. Set during Prohibition, it blends elements of western and gangster genres. Despite its formal perfection and engaging soundtrack, the film suffers from an unoriginal plot and shallow character development. Performances vary, with some actors underutilized. Overall, Lawless is visually appealing but lacks emotional impact. Discover the style and performances of Lawless, but judge for yourself if it delivers the emotion you seek.

 The story itself fails to take off, leaving one more than once puzzled due to an evident lack of depth.

 The real weak point of Macdonald’s work is the use of the historical vehicle as a critique of today’s society, which appears decidedly out of place and too ethically biased.

Kevin Macdonald's 'The Eagle' tries to recount a Roman legion's lost honor but falls short due to a weak and shallow story. Despite beautiful locations and some technical merits, the film is bogged down by a clichéd and ethically biased critique of Western civilization. The narrative unravels especially in the second half, failing to engage or deliver meaningful impact. Overall, it is a disappointing historical epic lacking originality. Read the full review and decide if 'The Eagle' is worth your watch or just a disappointing historical drama.

 Gattaca manages to unite all these elements, blending science fiction, noir, and existential drama.

 The future is a 'construction' mankind wants to belong to without detaching from what has been.

The film blends elements of science fiction, noir, and existential drama while examining themes of identity, societal limits, and human emotion. Strong performances, especially by Jude Law, and impressive cinematography enrich the narrative.

 The biggest flaw of “The Game” is its excessive focus on an ending that has the task of explaining everything.

 Fincher once again proves to be a master in creating tension, with the most thrilling scenes being the most successful.

David Fincher's 1997 thriller The Game is a well-crafted psychological film with intense suspense and a strong directorial hand. The story engages viewers with a complex narrative culminating in a shocking but overly explained ending. While the film excels in tension and atmosphere, it lacks emotional depth common to Fincher's works. Supported by strong performances from Michael Douglas and Sean Penn, it remains an entertaining, if somewhat minor, entry in Fincher's filmography. Watch David Fincher’s The Game for a gripping thriller experience with a twist – perfect for fans of suspense and psychological drama!

 Seven Thunders Roar is an album with multiple inclinations, presenting us with a combo capable of mixing different styles and influences, without leaving out a personal taste for melody.

The record blends multiple styles, from doom to acoustic folk echoes, creating a niche yet compelling experience.

 Ironclad is a niche, epic, spartan film, but at the same time refined and very attentive to the atmosphere and the reconstruction of the places.

 Paul Giamatti demonstrates his versatility even in this role, delivering another excellent performance.

Ironclad is a stylized medieval epic focusing on the siege of Rochester castle during King John's reign. The film prioritizes dynamic assaults and atmosphere over historical depth. Praised for its realistic violence and strong visuals, it is somewhat undermined by a weak screenplay and an out-of-place love story. Paul Giamatti’s performance as King John is a highlight. Overall, it offers an intense but limited cinematic experience. Explore the brutal world of Ironclad—watch the siege, soak in the atmosphere, and witness Paul Giamatti's fierce King John.
