 Underworld is the typical film that I unfortunately believe will dominate in the future...

 It now seems almost impossible to make films without featuring aerial shootings with triple somersaults, tucks, and pikes.

Underworld (2003) by Len Wiseman tackles the vampire-werewolf war with stylish visuals and action but falls short due to a weak plot and flat acting. The film suffers from predictable absurdities and a lack of engaging character development. Despite critical disdain, it gained popularity among younger audiences, leading to sequels. Overall, it offers two hours of superficial entertainment rather than a compelling story. Read this honest review before watching Underworld and discover why style alone can’t save this vampire action flick.

 To strip out the soul, it would take a clean and decisive cut, something that would penetrate the Who through and through so quickly that it would fall to the ground still warm and bloody.

 From the stage lights to the cold sweat, from Townshend’s reassuring words to the bottle of brandy hidden behind the drums. His is the best viewpoint from which it has ever been possible to see the Who in action.

The narrative focuses on the band's soul and onstage dynamics rather than their full biography. Discover the drama and raw energy of The Who's legendary 1973 Cow Palace performance—listen now and experience rock history live!

 The black and white skillfully exploited by the American director results in a much more hermetic rendering of the images.

 The film is a splendid fable for adults, intelligent and never banal, divinely shot by a director of enormous talent.

 How delightful it is to abandon the classic, repetitive, and now overly rhetorical format of the 'minimum 300 pages' for a noir.

 The album opens with "Jefferson Jericho Blues," a fast blues full of guitar and harmonica where Petty parades the hidden love of former president Tom Jefferson for his slave.

 "I Should Have Known It" is a song that will definitely become a new classic for Petty, with Mike Campbell’s guitar as the real protagonist.

 "The Distanti grab you by the hair, bringing your ear close to their mouth, and just when it feels like they’re about to say something, they spit inside."

 "The Distanti make the music that any young person pissed off should be making in Italy."

Distanti’s S/T EP is a short but intense burst of raw, angry punk music from Forlì, Italy. Its fragmented lyrics and aggressive instrumentation capture the frustration of Italian youth. The band delivers a cathartic, expressionistic experience that is both painful and liberating. The review praises their ability to channel rage through powerful vocals and harsh sounds, making it an essential listen for anyone feeling fed up with the state of the world. Listen to Distanti’s explosive S/T EP and feel the raw pulse of Italian youth’s anger and liberation!

 The recitative and severe voice of Lindo Ferretti doesn’t really match with the violins and light orchestrations typical of our Francone’s latest classical production.

 In short: nice work but... dispensable.

The review critiques the album ConFusione by Per Grazia Ricevuta, pointing out that the reworked old songs lose the original's rawness and coherence. The collaboration with Franco Battiato adds light orchestration but little artistic value.
