"All this he saw, for one moment breathless and intense, vivid on the morning sky; and still, as he looked, he lived; and still, as he lived, he wondered."
By the life of me, I don't understand how's possible that this movie was ever cleared for production. The concept is simple, and shamefully Stephen King-esque: a portion of a small suburban town gets teleported into a not particularly well-defined "age of dinosaurs," and the small...
Coyote vs ACME is the best movie you'll see this summer, and I'll die on this hill. Fuck everything else, including Nolan's Odyssey. You might have heard of this Looney Tunes movie for its turbulent path: originally inspired by a humorous piece on The New Yorker...
The East Palace (동궁) is this new South Korean dark fantasy television series I've been watching on Netflix, and I must say it has some serious Constantine vibes. I'm not an expert on Korean drama, so I don't know the authors nor the actors starring...
I'm sure you've read enough analysis of Nolan's Odyssey to last a lifetime, and you don't need another European ranting that he changed stuff, so I'm not going to. Instead, I'd like to talk about the movie in itself, as an independent work, granting the authors...
Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die is a 2025 science fiction comedy film directed by Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean) and written by Matthew Robinson (The Invention of Lying). It was released early this year, but I just got around to seeing it now....

Well, I did something unusual: I watched a Chinese TV series that has no English dubbing, just subtitles. Which makes it hard to do it while I work because I have to pay more attention to the subtitles, but I guess it's useful to hone...
Yoshitaka Amano's Angel's Egg, it's the simple answer: a 1985 animated movie directed by Mamoru Oshii (Ghost in the Shell). Following Amano's exhibition here in Italy and the movie's anniversary, it had been re-released in theatres but I had missed, I was curious, so I...
I discovered The Apothecary Diaries through the anime on Netflix: I generally don't like them but we're not getting good animation, I was desperate, and what caught my eye were the beautiful backgrounds in some of the promos. Then I switched to the manga. I...
Today's the 90th anniversary of the premiere of Chaplin's Modern Times, a story inspired by what the artist heard about Detroit's industries and about young people suffering from nervous breakdowns after a few years on the assembly line.As a movie, it's not my cup of...
