It is a challenge, yet another challenge of a black soul, a journey, a dream, a nightmare.

 Cave is suffocated by his own evil, he staggers, a black arrow has poisoned him, the germ of evil has metastasized.

 Apocalypsis sounds like a harsh contest between Di Donato's epileptic guitar, Terzoli’s pompous keyboard layers, and Bracciale’s furious drumming.

 The majestic title track must undoubtedly be counted among the highest moments of Di Donato’s entire career.

 You will discover again the time when Robert De Niro was monumental even while acting in a low-carat movie.

 The film is indeed based on the classic relationship between two people with contrasting characters but forced by circumstances to live and work together.

The movie expertly balances action, comedy, and heartfelt moments, highlighting De Niro's enduring charisma even in lesser-known works.

Brest crafts a road movie that feels classic yet fresh, showcasing contrasting characters forced into partnership amidst escalating complications. Watch Midnight Run to see Robert De Niro's sharp wit and charm in an action-packed comedy road trip!

 Well... Schmeir and company managed the arduous task of doing (probably) worse, releasing ‘Day Of Reckoning’.

 If that were the case, if for Schmeir the art of music had now become simple standardization, wouldn’t it be better for him to really go back behind the ovens at Barracuda pizzeria?

The review expresses disappointment in Destruction’s ‘Day Of Reckoning,’ highlighting a decline in creativity and energy compared to their earlier works. Despite good production and occasional strong tracks, the album largely feels predictable and lacks passion. The lineup change with a new drummer couldn't revive the band's former spark. The reviewer fears the band is settling for mediocrity rather than pursuing innovation within thrash metal. Discover why Destruction’s latest thrash album divides fans—read the full review and listen to ‘Day Of Reckoning’ now!

 Shoot It Out quite well summarizes the essence of what Feeding The Wolves is: you’ll find clean singing, a lot of melody, some rare screaming, good melodic background work, and an excellent rhythmic base dictated by the drums.

 It’s a pity about the small decline we find in the bonus tracks. Don’t expect anything excessively genius or revolutionary, but it earns its honest 7 out of 10 without difficulty.

Feeding The Wolves marks a strong return for 10 Years with more driven tracks and engaging melodies than their previous album. The vocals of Jesse Hasek and the excellent drum work stand out. While the bonus tracks are less impressive, the main album holds solid with a blend of melodic rock and some power ballads. Recommended for fans of comparable bands like Chevelle and Breaking Benjamin. Discover the melodic power and rhythmic strength of 10 Years' Feeding The Wolves—listen now and dive into their unique rock blend!

 The refined elegance of the French language combined, as in the best tradition of the genre, with arrangements reduced to the bare essential.

 His is an airy, heart-wrenching song as in the beautiful 'Ça Sert à Quoi' or sweetly romantic as in 'Marie, Pierre et Charlemagne', imbued with youthful dreams.

 Volonté’s performance is the glue that holds the different levels together: partial and political journalism, politics in general, social issues, etc.

 The concept of right and left no longer even exists, everything is a single politically homogenized monolith, democratically and only formally opposed.

The review explores Bellocchio’s political film focusing on the 1970s Italian socio-political landscape. Volonté's performance is praised as the film's critical glue. The reviewer highlights the film’s insight into political journalism and the cultural homogenization of Italy, drawing references to Pasolini's observations. Despite some narrative detachment from Bellocchio’s original themes, the film remains a significant cinematic and cultural commentary. Discover the complex political layers of Bellocchio's classic – watch, analyze, and reflect on Italy's turbulent past.

 "Millenovantanove", in my opinion, the true gem of the entire album, where the deep torment caused by the absence of the beloved is explored.

 "Bei tempi" does not artistically offer the best of Vecchioni and is certainly not a product imbued with passion and restlessness.

Roberto Vecchioni's 1985 album 'Bei Tempi' marks a period of personal maturity and peacefulness in his music, focusing largely on themes of love. Though not his most passionate work, it features well-crafted arrangements and memorable moments, especially the deeply reflective 'Millenovantanove'. Guest vocals by Ornella Vanoni add charm. The album offers an honest, somewhat naive atmosphere but lacks the restless intensity of his earlier creations. Discover Roberto Vecchioni's thoughtful 'Bei Tempi' album—listen now and experience his mature take on love and life.

The review critiques Beady Eye's debut album 'Different Gear, Still Speeding' as a mediocrity lacking the creative spark previously fueled by Noel Gallagher. It points to predictable songwriting, over-reliance on 60s-70s rock clichés, and only a handful of tracks showing slight originality. Liam Gallagher's presence is noted but insufficient to elevate the album. Recommended mainly for die-hard fans of Oasis or Britpop. Discover why Beady Eye's debut fell short of expectations—read the full review and listen to the album yourself!

 The album navigates through mutable and shadowy (sad)rock textures enhanced by pleasant and mostly emaciated vocal lines.

 They oscillate between the primordial Marlene Kuntz and the guitar interplays of Blonde Redhead pre-senescence, developing their own misty plots in a (moderately) personal manner.

Miavagadilania's debut album offers an intriguing mix of shadowy and sad rock textures with delicate Italian vocals. While some refinement is needed, the band's sound navigates between influences like Marlene Kuntz and Blonde Redhead, adding a personal touch that occasionally recalls post-Fugazi bands. The album features ten tracks that balance moody atmospheres with guitar-driven interludes, making it worthy of moderate attention. Discover Miavagadilania's evocative Italian rock debut—listen now and explore its atmospheric depth!

 A paranoid, substantial, unsettling story that is, after all, a bit of the story of all of us.

 "The more talented is not the one who creates more noise, but the one who makes more music."

 "Liam Gallagher will always remain in the shadow of the ‘big brother,’ accompanied by a band that merely executes a task just good enough to pass."

The review highlights Liam Gallagher's difficulty stepping out of his brother Noel's songwriting shadow with Beady Eye's debut album. While some tracks like "Millionaire" and "Bring The Light" show promise with clear Beatles influence and solid execution, much of the album suffers from predictability and mediocre composition. The band delivers competent but uninspired performances overall. The album partially redeems itself with melancholic closing tracks but ultimately falls short of previous Oasis works. Discover the highs and lows of Beady Eye’s debut – listen now and judge Liam Gallagher’s new path yourself!

 Just as those who consider this album the new Oasis album are greatly mistaken, those who consider it the solo debut of the younger Gallagher are doubly mistaken.

 'Wigwam' thrills with its six minutes of psychedelic extension, 'The Morning Son' with its crescendo finale and seagulls in the background is perfect for the end of a splendid summer.

Beady Eye's debut album 'Different Gear, Still Speeding' marks a strong start distinct from Oasis.

 Veronesi has nothing to do with Monicelli, nor with the Italian comedy that the latter had 'accustomed' us to see.

 De Niro acts, even in Italian, but is decidedly sacrificed to the necessity of 'making a profit.'

Manuale D'Amore 3 by Giovanni Veronesi falls short of expectations, especially when compared to classic Italian comedies. The film’s three episodes each explore different love seasons but suffer from improbable stories and weak performances. Monica Bellucci's lackluster acting in the final episode contributes to the overall disappointment, despite Robert De Niro's presence. Fans of authentic Italian comedy may find this film unsatisfying. Discover why Manuale D'Amore 3 missed the mark and explore the real gems of Italian comedy cinema.
