Dorian Gray
(2009)

cold and frigid
The music is awfully explicit. The scenarios are cold and do not carry the viewer into the situations. Story is too fast and some characters presented superficially and a little dashed. Seem more a TV series than a movie...

* seen 12th november 2019, dubbed in italian

Bohemian Rhapsody
(2018)

simply a fake
The story is fake, the LiveAid's concert is reproduced, why make a movie in this way? and change history? very bad, put a Queen vinyl on and let go, it's better than losing time watching this movie

Zombieland
(2009)

waste of time
Useless movie, waste of time and money. It's not even entertainment, it is just boring, with a screenplay written by a teenager.

* seen in italian the 15th september 2019

Hector and the Search for Happiness
(2014)

Donut without a hole
A TV movie that never manages to touch the viewer in depth. Too bad because there could be all the ingredients. Maybe it's a problem of editing ...

The Way Way Back
(2013)

Could be better
The water park staff deserves a separate film. The kiss between the teenagers and the too messy relationship of the parents could be mitigated without taking away the film. In general a good movie of entertainment but without too many pretensions.

Bethlehem
(2013)

Political as all the other movies
Those who think it's not a political film probably think that Alice in Wonderland is just a fairy tale. (almost) Every film is a political film or at least makes a cultural message explicitly or not, and this is no less. Wild Arabs against an army of brave soldiers and good men. Limping script, for those who are not involved in situations, and the characters are never too thorough, not even the two protagonists of this story. Perhaps only the final is saved, in which the pettiness of the Israeli occupation forces is leaked, but also a last and extreme act of the wild Arab ... There are much better films than this. Not recommended.

Ex Machina
(2014)

It does not convince
Interesting, but the protagonist can not create the right empathy, as well as presenting some inconsistent situations. Pity.

Okja
(2017)

brilliant synthesis of industrial livestock
A film that looks like a simple and inoffensive fairy tale, denounces the industrial agro-food system of the modern era: feedlots and the unaware use of animal meat.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
(2011)

addictive thriller
Beautiful plot, engaging, far from the classical holliwod's rhythms and therefore even more appreciable. Maybe it loses or better accelerates a little towards the end, but in any case 2h40 enjoyable and light.

Le jeune Karl Marx
(2017)

Not convince, but to see
The script something get lost. The storu is compelling, and keeping the different languages is good for getting into history. something, however, does not convince ... perhaps some aspects not unveiled of the historical events can leave an inexperienced spectator like me a little too clueless

This Is the End
(2013)

Useless
Great cast, good initial idea, but bad and slow and no reactive plot. A flat movie until the end, except some scene that, I admit, make you laugh. But it's not enough to lose time with it...

Paris à tout prix
(2013)

Terrible
Bad movie,terrible plot, sad gags. Absolutely not to Watch to don't lose time. Maybe the fault was the italian audio?

Kynodontas
(2009)

Astonishing
Each scene is a surprise, a break from reality. To be reviewed and reviewed. Not recommended for sensitive subjects.

Toni Erdmann
(2016)

A beautiful story
Maybe it's too long, but it really adsorbe you. Anyway, it's not a comedy, it's really a dramatic movie about getting old, and relation daughters-father. To watch again.

Incredibles 2
(2018)

it does not disappoint
As always, illuminating dialogues.

* seen november 2018

1. MrIncredible- Did we do something wrong? MrIncredible- We didn't do anything wrong. Elastigirl- Superheroes are illegal. Whether it's fair or not, that's the law. MrIncredible- The law should be fair. What are we teaching our kids? Elastigirl- To respect the law. MrIncredible- Even when the law is disrepectful? Elastigirl- If laws are unjust, there are laws to change them. Otherwise it's chaos. Which is exactly what we have!

2. Evelyn- The fact you saved me doesn't make you right. Elastigirl- But, it does make you alive. Winston- And I'm grateful for that. Elastigirl- I'm sorry, but she'll go to prison. Voyd- Well, I'm sorry, she's rich and will probably get no more than a slap on the wrist.

Whiplash
(2014)

On the thorns until the end
An excellent movie, which maintains a constant level of anxiety, never banal, absolutely worth seeing. Perhaps not to be reviewed as much of the effect of anxiety is based on the surprises that the main character reserves about the behavior that will be held in the minutes to follow. Surprising J.K. Simmons, annoying until the end ... but this is it!

Get Out
(2017)

Thriller with some decline
Film certainly not to be reviewed but offers good entertainment. Some ingenious ideas, perhaps in some places drops a little down in tone but in any case gives 100 enjoyable minutes.

La La Land
(2016)

Amazing
I never thought I would have liked a musical ... but so be it. Original, amazing music, never a moment of boredom or banality. To be reviewed.

Alien Resurrection
(1997)

Surprise
An Alien completely different from the others, with the usual screenwriting holes and sometimes parody of the previous ones, but with epic and original scenes, worthy of note, so much to consider it a film to be reviewed!
