For the first time in their careers, this is a film "accepted" rather than "proposed" to the majors, with unfortunately not up to par results with their previous works.

 Their black humor is effective in outlining the meanness and hypocrisy of the American upper class, but everything is toned down in excessive sentimentality and in a syrupy and too predictable ending.

Intolerable Cruelty marks the Coen brothers' Hollywood studio venture with a simple plot centered on prenuptial battles. Despite good performances and moments of sharp black humor, it falls short of the depth and originality typical of their best works. The film is enjoyable but ultimately a minor entry in their career, with a syrupy ending that weakens its potential. Still, it's better than many contemporary Hollywood comedies. Discover the Coen brothers' take on love and law—read the full review or watch Intolerable Cruelty today!

 Dennis Wilson’s anguished singing fills the room with poignant melancholy, a fragile melody that finishes wrapped in a shyly romantic orchestral texture.

 ‘Cuddle Up’ is a simply magnificent song unjustly forgotten in the disorganized discography of a group.

 It's been a long time since I laughed so heartily at the cinema without even a swear word.

 The Nazis, more than human beings, are depicted as mere puppets; incapable of criticism and ready to obey even the most absurd orders.

Ernst Lubitsch’s 1941 film Vogliamo Vivere (To Be or Not to Be) is a brilliantly crafted historical comedy with biting satire on Nazi absurdities. The film balances humor and tragedy with inspired performances by Carole Lombard and Jack Benny. Released during a pivotal WWII moment, it carries a powerful interventionist message. Despite its age, the film remains engaging, theatrical, and highly entertaining. Viewer experience is enhanced by watching in original language with subtitles. Watch Lubitsch’s Vogliamo Vivere now to enjoy a timeless blend of humor and history!

 An album to drink like a good shot all at once, without thinking too much, and just like with a shot, a quick encore is a must.

 In 2011, they play a sort of Mutant Garage Punk, enhanced by spirited keyboards and rudimentary sci-fi electronic effects.

 "In Flight" can be considered a "missed small masterpiece," a halfway dream to be rediscovered and appreciated in its tender imperfection.

 As it is said regarding it, "In Flight" is indeed a flight that never took off.

Linda Perry's 1996 solo debut 'In Flight' showcases a personal and introspective singer-songwriter style distinct from her previous band. Despite lacking commercial success, the album's tender imperfection and emotional depth mark it as a hidden gem. The review emphasizes its ambitious yet sincere approach and the bittersweet fate of the project. It highlights standout tracks like 'In my Dreams' and 'Fill me Up' while lamenting the industry’s failure to support Perry’s vision. Listen to Linda Perry’s intimate and overlooked album 'In Flight'—a soulful journey worth rediscovering.

 Jean-Marc is increasingly prostrated by the fear of no longer being able to one day recognize his partner Chantal.

 The concluding part of the story unsuccessfully tries to elevate her to something meaningful instead yielding to the realm of surreal rhetoric, leaving quite a bitter aftertaste.

L'Identité by Milan Kundera centers on themes of incommunicability and identity through the fractured relationship of Jean-Marc and Chantal. While evocative settings and psychological depth are present, the concluding surreal rhetoric leaves a bitter aftertaste. The book touches on anxiety about privacy and memory but lacks a cohesive guiding perspective. Kundera's later work, Ignorance, is noted as a stronger exploration of these themes. Dive into Milan Kundera’s complex world of identity and relationships—read L'Identité and explore its rich psychological layers.

 "Rimmel is like a blooming flower in a meadow of kindness, a delicate breeze of wind on the sea, a hermetic poem seasoned in sweet-and-sour sauce."

 "A finished love is not tragic here, but a mix of sweetness and disillusionment, among few gestures and shy smiles."

Rimmel, released in 1975 by Francesco De Gregori, is celebrated as a peak of poetic and lyrical musical expression. The album balances tenderness, dreamy nostalgia, and reflective maturity through evocative songs like "Pieces of Glass" and "Mr. Hood." Despite initial criticism of being commercial, Rimmel remains a timeless classic in Italian music, deeply rooted in personal and cultural memories. The review highlights the album’s blend of innocence, sensitivity, and social awareness. Listen to Rimmel now and immerse yourself in De Gregori’s timeless poetic genius and emotional storytelling.

 The perception of the sextet as a band of generic American hard/metal rock... is not yet justified here: Hatchet’s first album is pure and tough southern rock.

 'Gator Country' is one of its apexes if you like multi-layered rock-blues guitar.

Molly Hatchet's 1978 debut album delivers powerful Southern Rock with aggressive rhythms and layered guitar work. The album channels the spirit of Lynyrd Skynyrd while carving its own identity.

 Iommi rolls out (dare I say) one of the best riffs of his career (yes, of his ENTIRE career).

 'Damaged Soul' is the only entire track where you can feel the spirit of Black Sabbath, and the authentic intention that led them to compose pieces like The Wizard or War Pigs.

This is a detailed review of Black Sabbath's nineteenth album, 13, highlighting the attempt to return to their roots with the classic lineup alongside new drummer Brad Wilk. While Tony Iommi's guitar work and certain riffs shine, Ozzy Osbourne's vocals are often seen as weak compared to their classic material. The album delivers a mixed experience, with 'Damaged Soul' standing out as the most authentic and powerful track. Overall, the album is decent but falls short of their iconic past. Discover Black Sabbath's latest effort: listen to '13' and experience the legacy, riffs, and flaws of a legendary metal band!

 It's undeniably a solid product, that sounds 100% Black Sabbath.

 My favorite track is the single 'God Is Dead?' supported by remarkable lyrics and slow, threatening advance.

After 18 years, Black Sabbath returns with their album 13, featuring the classic lineup minus Bill Ward, replaced by Brad Wilk. Produced by Rick Rubin, the album delivers a familiar Black Sabbath sound with some standout tracks and a few weaker moments. Highlights include the energetic 'Loner' and the powerful, lengthy single 'God Is Dead?'. Overall, a solid effort paying tribute to fans without trying to revolutionize music. Listen to Black Sabbath's 13 to experience their iconic heavy metal return today!

 Mamma Roma, masterfully played by Anna Magnani, is a strong, tenacious, loud, eclectic, eccentric, powerful, and even 'muscular' character.

The film blends melancholy and drama, highlighting themes of redemption, social class, and survival. Discover Pasolini’s gripping masterpiece Mamma Roma—watch how love, hardship, and despair unfold in post-war Rome.

 An intense and profound track that proves that an artist like R. Kelly is not afraid to put his hand before his face to shed a tear amidst the cynicism of Hip Hop.

 The song was an enormous international success, undoubtedly the most famous of the singer's career.

R. Kelly's 'I Believe I Can Fly' is a profound and soulful track blending soul, gospel, pop, and R&B. It became an international hit and the memorable soundtrack for the film Space Jam.
