 An uninteresting film played on the contrast between the two protagonists who, however, don’t have much depth.

 It stands almost solely because of the story it tells, reporting only facts, not feelings.

Fly Me to the Moon tells an intriguing story about the moon landing's media impact but suffers from flat characters and poor development. The film’s secrecy aspect feels unconvincing, and it fails to emotionally engage. Despite a fascinating premise and some entertaining elements, the movie disappoints overall, rated only three stars due to the reviewer’s interest in space. Explore the story behind Fly Me to the Moon and decide if space fascination alone is enough to watch it.

 If you play it to someone who knows nothing, by ear, they would place it in the '80s without much hesitation.

 Referring to the band’s original name, we could jokingly say that in this aspect… it doesn’t bite.

It Bites FD's Return to Natural revisits the band's classic prog pop sound with a vintage 80s production style. While it captures the nostalgic spirit, some aspects feel less vibrant and more relaxed. The instrumental performance stands out, especially the jazzy bass lines, but the album lacks the immediate impact of earlier works. Fans of the original band may find it a pleasant, if diluted, continuation. Explore It Bites FD's Return to Natural and experience a nostalgic blend of 80s prog pop with modern touches—listen now!

 "These 13 songs are not masterpieces, but they deserve a lot."

Amyl And The Sniffers’ third album 'Cartoon Darkness' marks a bold departure from their hard punk roots.

 "It’s rare for watching a film to leave you with a lump in your throat... ‘Berlinguer, la grande ambizione’ is a work that has the power to revive memories of a distant period."

 "Who today can boast an equal charisma? Who, like him, would work so diligently for the res publica by studying, reading, and writing intensively?"

Andrea Segre’s film 'Berlinguer, la grande ambizione' masterfully portrays the intense political and personal life of Enrico Berlinguer during a crucial period in Italian history.
