The film exudes the unmistakable influence of Hitchcock, from the constant suspense to the archetype of the blonde protagonist.

 An ending that is indeed satisfying but comes a bit too quickly, almost reminding us that no matter how much you draw from Hitchcock, achieving his mastery remains a challenging goal.

Still of the Night (1982) is a suspenseful thriller directed by Oscar-winner Robert Benton, paying tribute to Hitchcock’s style. Roy Scheider plays a psychoanalyst drawn into a deadly mystery involving Meryl Streep’s enigmatic character. Though the film creates a moody atmosphere and contains strong supporting performances, Streep’s discomfort in the femme fatale role and some clichés slightly undermine the impact. The movie delivers a satisfying but somewhat rushed conclusion, acknowledging the challenge of matching Hitchcock’s mastery. Discover the suspense and mystery of Still of the Night—stream it now and experience a Hitchcock tribute with a twist.

 The Ein deutsches Requiem is Brahms’ supreme masterpiece, and it is not a Requiem like all the others.

 Here, Brahms does not set prayers to music, nor the classic sequence of the Dies irae. As a good Lutheran that he was, Brahms sets passages from the Holy Scripture to music.

Historical comparisons to other famous Requiems frame the significance of Brahms’ contribution to the genre. Listen to Brahms’ Ein deutsches Requiem and experience its profound beauty and spiritual depth today.

 I was somewhat impressed (positively all in all) by the scenes and the raw events with which the film unravels the threads of the story.

 The main character is Franklin, a really unconventional guy, who enjoys playing in his underwear a sort of Tyrolean horn two or three meters long.

 With this record, the band reaches full maturity, a bridge between their initial New Wave and a more progressive rock, still extremely sharp and refined.

 Pelù reaches his peak, as a matured frontman aware of his incredible means with a grandiose performance, capable of stirring emotions from the first to the last note.

Litfiba 3 is praised as the band's moment of full maturity, blending New Wave with progressive rock and strong political messages. The reviewer highlights the emotional depth and sharp musicianship, especially the vocal peak of Piero Pelù. This album marks a critical point before the band's later shift towards a more commercial rock sound. The reviewer recommends owning the entire 'Trilogy' for a complete appreciation of their early remarkable work. Listen to Litfiba 3 and experience the emotional and political depth of this Italian rock masterpiece.

 I find very pleasant to listen to, but otherwise negligible in absolute terms for the history of rock.

 The true gem of this album remains 'Tears In Heaven' – inspired by the tragic passing of his little son – and a timeless hit.

This review offers a balanced perspective on Eric Clapton's MTV Unplugged album, describing it as a pleasant acoustic effort without significant innovation. While the album successfully relaunches Clapton's career softly and features notable tracks like 'Tears In Heaven,' it lacks the raw blues soul and the energetic rock edge of his past. The album's design is partly praised but also critiqued for missing songwriting credits. Overall, it remains a worthwhile listen decades later. Discover the mellow acoustics of Eric Clapton's MTV Unplugged and explore its timeless hits today!

 Dark Mondo, ironically subtitled frightening music for scared people, indeed possesses some frightening quality, but it’s all a joke.
