Suicide paint our collective life: a long march at an industrial pace, without accelerations or jolts, a linear, monotonous, gloomy, and oppressed existence.

 Any form of allure or color, even in evil, must be sacrificed on the altar of grey and indifferent despair.

The review portrays Suicide's album 'A Way of Life' as a bleak, industrial-inspired record reflecting modern society's decay and monotony. It highlights the lack of emotional uplift or heroic themes, replaced by a cold, synthetic rock style reminiscent of Alan Vega's solo work. The album eschews theatricality and allure in favor of an oppressive, gray despair that some fans may overlook. Ultimately, it presents a stark musical simulacrum conveying void and rubble instead of life. Dive into Suicide's 'A Way of Life' for a powerful, industrial sonic journey into modern despair and hollow existence.

 Everything must be considered, every mechanism must surpass the hurdles of individual will and a daily life always pragmatically complex.

 "My Blues is You" must be danced standing still, so keep that in mind. It’s an important detail. Very important.

 My penchant for trash takes over.

 By taking it lightly or not at all seriously, this is how this film should be viewed to be appreciated.

Il Bosco Fuori attempts to revive Italian horror with a strong nod to Tobe Hooper but suffers from shaky cinematography, clichéd characters, and uneven acting. Despite its flaws, the film carries a morbid charm fueled by gore and dark humor. The performances of the child actors stand out as surprisingly convincing in an otherwise self-indulgent movie. It’s best enjoyed as cult trash with grotesque irony rather than serious horror. Dive into this cult Italian horror and experience its twisted gore and morbid charm—watch Il Bosco Fuori today!

 It is not necessary to precisely establish the causes of Stefano’s death to grasp a greater truth, one dramatically larger than punches and bruises.

 Alessandro Borghi’s Cucchi is too torn by pain to try to save himself; he lets himself die rather than try to rise from the apnea.

 Sleeping Eyes is a hybrid between pop-rock with influences ranging from folk to electric, leading to a final result akin to a rollercoaster.

 Like every respectable debut band, even The Wingman case shows evident light and dark points, mainly due to the young age of the musicians and a sound direction that is still being defined.

The Wingman's debut EP Sleeping Eyes offers a varied mix of pop-rock, folk, and jazz-inspired sounds. While some tracks shine with catchy hooks and uniqueness, the band’s young age and evolving sound result in uneven moments. Vocals suit pop-oriented parts best. Overall, a promising but still developing effort rated satisfactory. Discover The Wingman's Sleeping Eyes EP and explore their evolving pop-rock-folk sound now!

 Jim Carrey is "good," definitely out of his rhythm, even though I hated him for everything he did and didn’t do.

 Everything takes place in a grey, rainy, wintry Poland, devoid of warmth, like the people on whom the story revolves.

Dark Crimes is a bleak thriller that disappoints with its fragmented narrative and uninspiring performances. Jim Carrey gives an uncharacteristic role, but the film fails to engage emotionally. The gloomy setting of Poland mirrors the cold and detached characters, but the film's execution leaves much to be desired. Overall, it’s a discouraging cinematic experience. Read our full review and decide if the dark thriller Dark Crimes is worth your time.
