The album sometimes exaggerates and overly inflates certain tracks, like Elephant Talk, which become too dense, very true, but let’s remember this is white music and sometimes you pay this price to have things like F.A.H.T.C.F. and its diversely groovy drums in your ears.

 They could at times seem like Marc & The Mambas’ little brothers, and here I’m being heavy with compliments.

 Malick’s message is that this need cannot be satisfied by abandoning the achievements and knowledge of Western culture, denying facts and evidence, but by reckoning with them.

 The film represents Malick's attempt to fulfill a crucial function of the artist in society: to represent knowledge about the cosmos, life, and man in a direct, synthetic, and accessible manner.

 Herbert narrates a story that is compelling as a whole and demonstrates a deep knowledge of the rituals and beliefs of Nazi mystical thought.

 The novel loses a certain verve and expectations are somewhat disappointed... not on the level of content, however, but rather on the way in which these are narrated.

The story follows former Mossad agent Harry Steadman as he confronts the occult legacy of Heinrich Himmler and the Thule Society. Combining horror undertones with historical conspiracy, the novel is compelling though it loses some narrative strength towards the end. It offers a critical look at darker facets of Western history beyond pure political ideology. Discover the dark secrets of Nazi mysticism and thrill yourself with Herbert’s gripping spy thriller—read The Spear today!

 The film, refined and elegant, has a classical construction typical of the thriller genre.

 The film is technically almost flawless, but the plot feels somewhat predictable and the final twist rather gratuitous.

Ferzan Ozpetek’s Napoli Velata is an elegant thriller set in a mysterious Naples full of art and secrets. The film features strong technical aspects, including cinematography and performances, especially by Giovanna Mezzogiorno and Alessandro Borghi. Although the plot is well-constructed, it feels somewhat predictable and the final twist is not entirely fitting. Overall, it’s a visually refined movie worth watching. Watch Napoli Velata for a visually stunning and mysterious journey through Naples.

 Japan lacked that renewal of the genre and that 'qualitative leap' achieved in the United States and the rest of the world after World War II.

 It is precisely these testimonies that form the most evocative part of a collection that I would not define as bad, but which ... may not be fully appreciated by a science fiction enthusiast.

This review examines Ilaria M. Orsini's collection of Japanese science fiction stories, highlighting its cultural and historical background. While the anthology features notable authors and a thoughtful introduction, many stories lack the critical depth typical of Western sci-fi classics. The collection's strongest elements are historical testimonies of Hiroshima survivors, giving it more value as a cultural document than as pure science fiction. Discover the unique blend of history and sci-fi in this Japanese anthology—read or explore the stories to understand Japan's cultural perspective.
