 Tarantino, the 'cinephile of immense class' is another thing! 'Forget Tarantino'? Those who say this have probably forgotten cinema.

This review examines Rodrigo Cortés' film Buried, highlighting its ambitious one-location premise and strong technical direction. While praised for camera work, the reviewer questions the film's originality, comparing it unfavorably to Tarantino’s scenes and earlier films with similar themes.

 Hyperion is weak, settled on itself, and regressed.

 I cannot stand the voice of the singer Lars Larsen.

Manticora's third album Hyperion ventures into new musical territories with progressive and thrash elements but falls short compared to their previous works. Despite a compelling sci-fi concept, the execution lacks punch and is marred by monotonous vocals and uninspired riffs. Only a few tracks like "Cantos" and "Swarm Attack" stand out. Overall, it's considered a weak and unconvincing step backward for the band. Discover the full review and listen to Manticora’s Hyperion to form your own opinion on this bold, yet flawed, metal journey.

 The setting is truly excellent: the characters move in a dirty Chinatown bustling with people of all kinds, acting in polluted streets, dimly lit venues, and dilapidated basements.

 The annoying impression is that it’s a bit pretentious… mixing police film with gangster movie with all the attributes of the genre, enriched by social criticism and slices of daily life.

Year of the Dragon (1985) by Michael Cimino depicts the violent clash between a rough American cop and a young Chinese drug lord in New York's Chinatown. The film boasts impressive production and an engaging plot but falters with clichéd characters and familiar gangster tropes. Despite its social criticism attempts, it lacks depth, relying heavily on genre conventions and violence. The Italian dubbing adds an unintended comedic effect to the protagonist's voice. Discover the gritty world of Michael Cimino's Year of the Dragon — watch now to see if it lives up to the hype!

 From the very first ominous chord of "Walk With Me" the album promises sparks.

 "A profoundly bleak and apocalyptic film, which weighs down with infinite sadness and an unsettling feeling that's hard to endure for the 75 minutes of the film."

 "People angry with everyone and everything, full of hatred towards the whole world, people manipulated and 'used' for political and ideological purposes."

 The electric guitar played with a technique I don’t know gets tiring, although the vocalizations make the work unique even today.

 I just want to draw attention to this album.

Fresh Maggots is a 1971 acid-folk album by two nineteen-year-old musicians. It features unique vocal styles and an unusual electric guitar technique. The flute is overly cheerful and somewhat embarrassing, drawing comparisons to other folk acts. The reviewer gives it a modest 3-star rating, appreciating its uniqueness but finding it unremarkable overall. Despite mixed feelings, the album is worth attention and discussion. Discover the unique sounds of Fresh Maggots—listen now and join the conversation!

 Chris Siemons' guitar performance is remarkable (listen to "Time To Bring The Pain": an understated orgasm).

 Ji-In Cho's voice is tragically too little biting in powerful tracks, and too mellifluous (almost a whine) in the more delicate and introspective ones.

Krypteria's Bloodangel's Cry offers a mix of Power, Symphonic, and Gothic metal with some promising moments. The guitar work and production balance stand out positively, but vocals and lyrics fall short. Despite several flaws, occasional emotional highlights and good ideas give the album some merit. Overall, it is a mediocre effort with potential for growth demonstrated in later works. Discover Krypteria's evolving metal sound—listen to Bloodangel's Cry and explore its highs and lows!

 I'm really happy about this recognition, which comes at an important and particular time.
