 Here lies everything, or almost everything, of the professor, and if you like this type of approach, where the entire output of an artist is encapsulated in an LP or a track, here I could almost say that there’s a track that is ‘the’ track, the one where all of Vecchioni is present, all his artistic strength and poetic gentleness, namely ‘Figlia.’

 The exceptional vocal texture and the splendid blues attitude of the poorly dressed frontman would manage to give a rock dignity even to a possible Abba cover.

 An album of old seventies rock blues, simple but made superb by the great attitude of the performers, all four of them indiscriminately, or almost (there’s only one Rodgers in the world, God bless him).

Burnin’ Sky, Bad Company’s fourth album released in 1977, remains a strong example of classic 70s rock blues.

 The idea doesn’t excite me, and the album compilation feels forced.

 'Lager' stands out for its word choice, sensitivity, and bitter anger.

This review assesses Francesco Guccini's 1981 album Metropolis as a weaker entry in his discography, positioned between two stronger works. The concept tying the album together is seen as lackluster and less compelling than his usual songwriting. While some tracks like 'Lager,' 'Bisanzio,' and 'Bologna' stand out, the album overall feels like a forced compilation.

 A film that could have been clever, dynamic, and somewhat unique suddenly turned into a jumble of poorly resolved 'good intentions.'

 A 'mediocre' film, I would say sweetish and covered with sappy and sticky sugariness that you can't get rid of even by washing your hands with Viakal.

The reviewer found Ben Stiller's 'Walter Mitty' disappointing despite its beautiful locations. The film suffers from weak direction, slow pacing, and clichéd themes. While some dream sequences add minor interest, the overall experience was dull and frustrating. The ending was deemed banal and unconvincing. Discover why Walter Mitty falls short despite its stunning visuals—read the full review and decide for yourself!

 Hollywood does not know (anymore?) how to make monster movies.

 One of the film’s major flaws is the absurd insistence on the deeds of the military, in this case stupid, careless, and idiotic as never before.

This review critically examines Gareth Edwards' 2014 Godzilla reboot, highlighting a confusing plot, ineffective military depiction, and overly dark CGI scenes. Despite some well-made monster effects and brief thrilling moments, the film falls short due to its pacing, screenplay, and failure to capture the spirit of classic monster movies. The reviewer suggests that simpler storytelling and better use of monster battles could improve future films in the genre. Discover why Godzilla 2014 fails as a monster movie—read the full review and decide if it’s worth your time!
