Dark Waters
(2019)

Not to be missed.
Like all truth films, this is an important film and deserves an important rating. Precise reconstruction of the facts, which (once again) shows how the pursuit of profit at all costs by unscrupulous billionaire companies (DuPont in this case) is bringing us only death. Just one fact: 100% of the living beings on the planet have PFOA in their blood.

Joker
(2019)

Phoenix deserves the Oscar.
Great movie, Great interpretation by Joaquin Phoenix. A portrait about how a miserabile, defeated, mentally ill man, will be driven by his desperation to discover his psychopathy... The film wouldn't even need Gotham's setting.

Il commissario Lo Gatto
(1986)

Cult movie.
It's an hilarious movie, even after seeing it several times it still manages to entertain. An intelligent comedy that illustrates the many souls of the Italian peoples (especially in the 80s).

Alita: Battle Angel
(2019)

Everything already seen...
It was announced for several years as one of the most anticipated projects of James Cameron, blocked by the processing of the cumbersome sequels of Avatar, has finally arrived in the hands of Robert Rodriguez, expert film director shot with digital scenes, the film adaptation of this science fiction manga in cyberpunk style. The story takes place in a future Earth, back from the (usual) total war that took place hundreds of years earlier, socially divided between the poor who live in the trash of the rich and those who take advantage of the weak for their own return (scenario also seen this already). The technology of body prostheses has made great strides and it is normal to see more people with arms, legs and even the whole robotic body than people completely natural, as if anyone had amputations or serious accidents, even if the ancient war has now 300 years ... Or as if it were normal to be amputated a part of the body to have it replaced by metal ... and here I remember RoboCop and the psychological agony to realize that he lost his body and be transformed into a car. Here, none of this is "normal" no drama ... Apparently, the only way to aspire to enter the circle of the richest and arrive at the flying city of Salem (the only veteran of the ancient war) and to become very champions of: Rollerball !!! Exact! Precisely the futuristic game of the homonymous film of 1975! (No comment). The plot is not only this of course, but there is little more and the result is a mix of many things already seen and told better ... The characters are flat, very stereotypical with no psychological deepening. Important actors have been hired (C.Waltz, J.Connelly, Mahershala Ali and another that you will discover ...) to use them very little, leaving room for cgi, motion capture and young actors in simple roles. Moments of boredom alternate with scenes of action / combat also cute ... But the final feeling is to have seen a story already seen, where you could investigate elements much more interesting and instead are treated only superficially (the ancient war for example and the enemies who were winners). And then the final treat: the film does not end! Thus opening up to various sequels, which, given what I have seen, arouse on my part a level of waiting equal to zero ... As always happens to me when I leave the cinema I gave a vote that then at the end of the reasoning that leads to this review ends up going down: I had given 6, now we move to 5.
