 Joe Kidd brings to the big screen the tough decisions of the charming Clint: to take the money and do the dirty work, or to be the 'good guy' in the situation?

 Memorable is the scene in which Kidd disposes of a guard with a water-filled amphora and equally well-shot are the sequences inside the church, with the building almost symbolizing divine presence, salvation.

 MGS4 is probably one of the most pretentious, ingratiating, self-referential, and narratively verbose games ever conceived.

 If MGS4 were indeed a movie, it would be a sensational kitsch, on par with, I don’t know, Flash Gordon.

This review criticizes Metal Gear Solid 4 for its excessive cut-scenes, pretentious storytelling, and weak gameplay. Despite being hailed by fans and media as a masterpiece, the game is described as overly self-referential and lacking meaningful interactivity. The reviewer finds the gameplay trivial and linear compared to earlier series entries, with unimpressive AI and dull combat. The cinematic elements are considered kitschy rather than spectacular, making the overall experience disappointing. Read the full review and decide if Metal Gear Solid 4 lives up to its legendary reputation or falls short.

 He remains a decent but not excellent artist, incapable at this point of producing memorable masterpieces.

 The flaw of this album, however, is the excessive number of tracks, as if he were a seasoned and expert artist.

Cesare Cremonini's '1999-2010 Greatest Hits' offers two discs featuring 25 tracks, including two new songs with notable guests. While the album satisfies longtime fans with its familiar melodies and decent pop songs, it suffers from an excessive number of tracks and lacks the power to attract new listeners.
