The Easy Life (1962)

This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.

This is a classic road movie from times gone by, the plot is therefore very simple because it is simply a journey that our protagonists undertake and at least one of them grows and changes during this journey. Having said that, the film is a light comedy and also quite banal but still quite entertaining. Now, however, we need to talk about the ending because the film is really insipid and banal without many twists until the very necessary final twist arrives which surprises and in my opinion disappoints because damn the ending is unnecessary.

Adagio (II) (2023)

Wonderfull

[9/10 · 27 May 2024]

This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.

Big film full of Italian actors which, as the title says, is extremely slow and also quite complex. Obviously we start by saying that the acting performances are truly magnificent and that the plot is interesting and very nice even if let's say that you can guess more or less where it's going from the beginning and you can also understand the ending. Then there are two environmental things, one very nice and particular and the other without particular sense, the nice and particular one is the fact that Rome burns in the background because the enormous fire gives a truly beautiful setting to the film, but the fact that every The lights go out anyway, in my opinion it doesn't make sense and even if the reason for this is explained, it still doesn't add anything to the film.

The Menu (2022)

Wow

[10/10 · 20 May 2024]

This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.

This film is an absolute masterpiece. Finally a thriller film done well, a beautiful psychological thriller that manages to understand and crown the genre well. The total beauty of the film also inevitably comes from the sublime interpretation of the actors who make this psychological drama even deeper. I recommend watching this film to anyone because it is a truly unmissable masterpiece. In conclusion I can only say that I didn't expect all this magnificence from the now saturated panorama of thrillers and instead this film is wow.

The Happening (2008)

Gne

[6/10 · 20 May 2024]

This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.

In my opinion this film is quite underrated and should be rewarded at least for the originality of the plot and some scenes that make the situation strangely ridiculous. I think this film is one of those that entertains you a lot because so much senseless stuff happens that it's really strangely spectacular. So the film is definitely worth watching with friends because it is unintentionally funny. The only negative note is that as the film had almost no idea how to begin then it ends without any idea of how to end.

Ricky Stanicky (2024)

Wow

[10/10 · 12 May 2024]

This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.

This film is the classic film with very intense American comedy, that type of comedy whether you love it or hate it, there is no middle ground and I loved it madly. The film is very funny, truly spectacular and the fact that it has also included a good moral is really very surprising and further enriches this film which in my opinion deserves very high ratings. A very light and very funny comedy that gradually becomes deeper and deeper, transforming the film from beautiful but forgettable to beautiful and with a truly unexpected depth if one simply reads the plot.

Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiver (2024)

Underrated

[8/10 · 12 May 2024]

This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.

In my opinion the evaluation of this little saga made up of only two films is really too negative because in the end the film manages well in my opinion to build a good narrative universe in these films, for goodness sake the story has already been seen but it is a very classic science fiction story that In my opinion it is very entertaining and has spectacular special effects. Then it is true that there are also many defects, especially narrative slowness in some points and a total lack of explanation in others which make some scenes incomprehensible but if one watches it with normal expectations based on what was seen in the first film then this is the worthy heir, a good film despite its flaws.

About Cherry (2012)

A disaster

[2/10 · 8 May 2024]

This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.

Soulless film that focuses on the wrong choice of famous actors who have unfortunately decided to lend themselves to this useless crap. The film has a very banal plot and seems to focus almost exclusively on very provocative actresses and that's it because beyond that it has nothing. The plot then causes a lot of annoyance because as a basic idea it presents itself as a poignant and profound story, however completely ruined by the inability to make the film actually profound, leaving it solely to the superficiality of sex.

The Family Man (2000)

Nice

[8/10 · 3 May 2024]

This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.

This film is proof that sometimes a good moral can improve a film that otherwise would be the usual half-baked family comedy and instead turns out to be a really good film from start to finish. All in all the film is made solely according to its moral and this is precisely how films of this kind must be made because in terms of plot it is very banal and in terms of comedy this is also banal but if one then watches the film with a broader perspective then one sees the little pearl that this film is.

Disquiet (2023)

Underrated

[8/10 · 3 May 2024]

This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.

In my opinion, such a low rating of this film is truly merciless because we should reward the idea that even if banal it is still really very beautiful and from the middle onwards it is also managed quite well, the thing that matters most about this film is the initial part which it's really badly made and it's a terrible shame, it seems that unlike many other films here they didn't want to make the beginning and so they dragged it out and then gained passion and desire in the rest of the film. So I believe that the film is underrated and deserves a little more consideration because in the end it is entertaining and fully sufficient.

Final Cut (2022)

Wonderfull

[10/10 · 26 April 2024]

This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.

So, there is only one thing to say about this film and it is an absolute masterpiece because this is the film, a hilarious jumble of nonsense stuff which then gets better with the explanation continued throughout the film. You have to keep in mind that this film is a remake and in my opinion this is its strength because the film doesn't hide it, a lot of stuff is purposely constructed to make clear the fact that it is a remake and in the film they even say that it is a remake and in my opinion this stuff is sooooo brilliant. I recommend this film to everyone because it makes you laugh and is therefore good for anyone who wants to have a light laugh.

Playing by Heart (1998)

Nice

[8/10 · 26 April 2024]

This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.

We must absolutely start by saying that this film is absolutely a crescendo because in the initial part it is not very convincing but it is constructed so well that the further it goes on the better it ends up being an extremely valid film, not a masterpiece but certainly a small pearl in the panorama full of romantic comedies. However, the film has the flaw of many films structured as disconnected stories, that is, some are more interesting than others and this leads the viewer to want some to end up diving better into those that entertain him the most.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (2016)

Wow

[8/10 · 26 April 2024]

This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.

In my opinion this film is quite underrated because merging zombies with such a Victorian plot could have resulted in a ridiculous farce but instead it results in truly beautiful stuff that manages to entertain and also be quite serious without ever leading to boredom and at the same time manages to be quite funny but without ever leading to the ridiculous. So I really don't understand this low rating and I would also add that I recommend this film to anyone who is even slightly passionate about zombies.

Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex * But Were Afraid to Ask (1972)

Nice but not too nice

[7/10 · 24 April 2024]

This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.

The title is wonderful and the structure of the film is very beautiful and original but the film is not equally inspired, I would like to say that of all the Allen films I have seen this is perhaps the most terribly subdued and it is a shame because the film had the potential to be one of my favorite films of one of my favorite film characters but that wasn't the case and I'm sorry. The film is undoubtedly beautiful but it lacks that something that has always distinguished these films. Since the episodes are unconnected, there are therefore some that are very good but some that are too boring and therefore the film is full of ups and downs and this contributes to the decrease in attention.

On the Beach (2000 TV Movie)

Wow

[8/10 · 22 April 2024]

This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.

Really very nice film which, even though it is a film designed exclusively for TV, is still very beautiful, with really nice special effects and really nice acting because you have to remember that TV films were once not treated simply as low-budget films. Budget and therefore no particular effort was made, but this is an exception to the rule because the film is very good and worth watching. Although not particularly original, the film manages to entertain a lot and is therefore worth a look. NIce.

Xchange (2001)

Nice

[7/10 · 22 April 2024]

This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.

In my humble opinion this film deserves at least a six because it is a fairly good vision of one of the most imagined possible dystoic futures in cinema and literature. Body swapping is a widely covered theme and in this film it is treated very well indeed without making everything too heavy or ridiculous and by making perfect use of various narrative devices it manages to be very entertaining. Having said this, however, it must be said that not all of the film is perfect and there are some points that are a little too forced which make some passages of the film slightly unenjoyable.

Nightmare City (1980)

What a waste

[5/10 · 15 April 2024]

This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.

This film makes me angry because it could really have been a gem of its period and instead it ends up being ruined with one of the stupidest and most banal endings that the world has ever devised, an ending that will then be taken up by many other films with the result always being tremedo except in a few very rare cases. Watching the film one can easily ignore the not so excellent special effects also because the film is still from the eighties because it still manages very well to entertain and give the spectator a strange sense of anxiety throughout the film, but the ending really makes you throw away everything the film and it bothers me tremendously.

Il permesso - 48 ore fuori (2017)

Wow

[9/10 · 15 April 2024]

This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.

A fairly underrated film that deserves a little more consideration because it represents a small light in the Italian cinema scene and demonstrates that sometimes even with a simple story you can make beautiful films. The film is very beautiful and well branched in its stories which all have a very valid moral and even the twists are very valid and looking particularly at the evolution of the characters the latter are also really well constructed. So in conclusion I recommend watching this film.

Hercules (1983)

Bad idea

[3/10 · 15 April 2024]

This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.

The screenwriters of this film must have surely thought that it was a brilliant idea to merge robots with Greek mythology, it's a shame that their consideration was wrong because it is actually a terrible idea, but really how can you come up with something like that and thinking that this stuff could really work and be nice to look at, for heaven's sake, the film is so strange and particular that in the end it's even entertaining but still it's really bad and you can't overlook everything that's wrong with the film.

Love and Death (1975)

An absolute gem

[10/10 · 15 April 2024]

This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.

This film is an absolute masterpiece, fun and entertaining from start to finish with truly brilliant jokes and gimmicks that make it truly magnificent. I would like to add that we don't see many funny and senseless films like this anymore and this is a real shame because this type of film gives lightness and beautiful moments to all spectators. So in my opinion this film is highly recommended to anyone who appreciates comedy and light films but full of entertainment and beauty. In conclusion I want to say that this film is beautiful.

The Land of Dreams (2022)

Boooooring

[3/10 · 13 April 2024]

This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.

I start from the assumption that I personally like musicals quite a bit and therefore in general I tend to evaluate them all a little too positively but in this case I feel forced not to do so because you can't be good with this film because it is extremely and terribly boring and confusing. , not even all the choreography or the strange and ambitious plot manages to generate interest in the film. Then the plot is handled really badly and even if very particular it is still terribly poorly made and it's a shame because if at least the plot had been handled a little better the film would perhaps have been acceptable.

The Family (I) (2013)

Wow

[10/10 · 13 April 2024]

This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.

Already from the plot I anticipated that this film would be a small action comedy pearl and it turned out to be just that, a small masterpiece of its genre, a fun and very light film which actually deals with a quite heavy theme if looked at in a detached manner. So in general the film is very good and above all it is really very entertaining and on top of that the stellar and very perfect cast only enriches the already beautiful film even more. In conclusion I would dare to say that this film absolutely must be watched, but everything must be done very lightly because even if the film is quite violent it still wants to be very light.

Hai mai avuto paura? (2023)

Well...not what i was expecting

[5/10 · 12 April 2024]

This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.

I don't know how the writing of this story went but merging Leopardi as a child with a story of similar werewolves I don't know what a great idea it was, yes certainly a rather original idea because even just imagining it is truly imaginative and therefore it certainly takes talent but that doesn't mean the stuff works. That is, if it had been a normal horror film without historical characters it would have been enough but the addition of Italian poets makes you smile but nothing more and actually ruins the purpose of the film a bit.

The Wrong Daughter (2018 TV Movie)

Terrible

[1/10 · 10 April 2024]

This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.

This film is extremely particular because it is one of the very few films where the beginning is cute, the development is horrendous and the ending is cute, so I recommend seeing the beginning and the end skipping the middle because in the meantime you understand anyway and skip the boredom and terrible annoyance that the central part of this film gives you. So in general I can recommend watching this film with a peace of mind and be prepared for the disgust you will witness because otherwise there will only be terrible annoyance and resentment in seeing this film.

Revelation (2001)

Garbage

[3/10 · 10 April 2024]

This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.

My goodness, what horrible rubbish, at the beginning the plot even seemed acceptable or even beautiful but it doesn't take long to understand what horrible rubbish this film actually is. First of all, it must be said that the plot is developed in a very bad way and the further it goes on the worse the situation becomes because the plot actually worsens, at the beginning it is not clear where the film wants to go and this is a good thing because as soon as you understand it you can also understand the disgust of this film. Speaking of the only positive the acting isn't too bad.

The Manitou (1978)

Really nice

[8/10 · 10 April 2024]

This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.

In my opinion this film has too punitive and negative an evaluation and deserves a reevaluation because it is a good horror film, yes it has enough defects but many are also due to the years in which this film was released. So let's say the positive aspects first, first of all latrama is very cute and quite original as well as managed in a quite coherent and beautiful way. Speaking of the rest, the hand-made special effects are really beautiful to look at even if obviously in the twenty-first century they are slightly laughable.
