 Michael Caine is Alfie. A man who never has to ask. A charming driver in 1960s London, a London that still smells of dreams and romance.

 Having everything but actually possessing nothing, abandoning oneself to wild pleasures only to find oneself alone, renouncing morality for pleasure, are themes often addressed. But never treated as in this film.

The review praises Lewis Gilbert's 1966 film Alfie for its unique blend of tragic comedy and deep character exploration. Michael Caine's portrayal of Alfie, a charming yet amoral man drifting through love and pleasure, is highlighted. The film’s ahead-of-its-time treatment of themes such as morality, loneliness, and the fleeting nature of youth is emphasized. The reviewer notes the film’s engaging narrative style, where Alfie breaks the fourth wall to connect with the audience. Overall, the original film is celebrated for its poetic depth, surpassing the 2004 remake. Watch the original Alfie and experience a timeless story of charm, pleasure, and loneliness through Michael Caine’s unforgettable performance.

 Tranquility. This is the key word that came to my mind after listening to the second work by Balmorhea.

 "Baleen Morning" is an astonishing gem of modern neoclassical combined with post-rock of sublime refinement, simple and never overstated.

Balmorhea's Rivers Arms album offers a tranquil and intimate listening experience with dreamy neoclassical melodies and post-rock influences. While some tracks like "Lament" and "Baleen Morning" stand out for their emotional depth and refinement, the album as a whole falls slightly short of the band’s usual ethereal quality. Nevertheless, it remains a pleasant and soothing album recommended for those seeking a peaceful musical escape. Listen to Balmorhea's Rivers Arms and immerse yourself in an hour of tranquil neoclassical beauty.

 This crappy movie is a masterpiece. It entertains, entertains, and entertains.

 Watching this film while sitting on your 'throne' is probably the best thing.

Sam Raimi rose to cult fame with the inventive horror classics Evil Dead 1 and 2. Army of Darkness, the saga's third installment, shifts from pure horror to absurd and immature comedy.

Bruce Campbell's iconic role as Ash, armed with his chainsaw arm, cements the movie's place in horror imagination. Recommended for fans of absurd, entertaining horror movies. Dive into the wild, absurd world of Army of Darkness and experience Bruce Campbell's legendary Ash in this horror comedy cult classic!

 The group has its own originality, which is perceived throughout the duration of the mini-album.

 The first of them is, in the opinion of the writer, the strong point of the demo, a track over 8 minutes long but never tiresome.

Destrudo's 2010 demo 'Falx Cerebri' presents a masterful blend of technical and progressive death metal infused with jazzy and electronic experimentation. Featuring four tracks, it showcases originality and excellent musicianship influenced by but not copying Cynic. The well-produced demo stands out strongly despite its brevity, promising exciting future developments. Listen to Destrudo's Falx Cerebri to experience a fresh take on progressive and technical death metal.

 Nightstick was a fantastic band, absolutely unique; devastated by drugs, alcohol, intoxicated by the carbon monoxide of tunnels, radioactive waste, alienated by kilometers of asphalt and cement.

 The three Nightstick turn that obese teenager into a terrifying monstrous alienated sociopath, filtering it through the carburetors of the cars clogging Boston's traffic.

Nightstick's Blotter offers a unique fusion of slow hardcore, wild psychedelia, and noise rock. Drawing inspiration from Jesus Lizard and Electric Wizard, the album crafts a dense, monolithic sound. The review uses vivid metaphors to capture the album's drug-fueled, disillusioned atmosphere. This is a compelling listen for fans of heavy, experimental underground music. Explore Nightstick's Blotter and experience a crushing, psychedelic hardcore journey like no other.

 Finally, someone who doesn’t skin your balls with formidable high notes and stuff like that, but brings passion and is remembered for a different voice.

 Astral Doors focused on simplicity, stripping down the concept of heavy metal: aggressive riffs, well-placed solos executed with diligence, then the singer takes care of the rest.

The band embraces NWOBHM influences, especially early Iron Maiden, delivering a solid and memorable metal experience.

 Edu Falaschi’s voice positively surprises, which Matos’ nostalgics still consider an intruder.
