Darkness Falls (2003)

Good action movie with a silly ghost enemy.

[5/10 · 18 May 2022]

The movie manages to entertain in every scene but the characters are weak, and the main idea of a flying mask is almost rootless, almost without explanation.

Also, this idea does not scare effectively and overall it is so much noise for nothing.

Adaptation. (2002)

Great sadness and great complexity which is never positive

[6/10 · 17 May 2022]

A strangely complex movie for extremely common and banal feelings, where the actors are not interesting, and where the plot is lost in many ramifications. The movie is very entertaining and in some moments it is sentimental but never really intelligent, in fact, all the complicated things are not...

Riphagen (2016)

A Dutch criminal against the racist biz-clan of Jews.

[6/10 · 17 May 2022]

This movie is overall of high quality, the plot is interesting although there are too many other films of this genre and that Schindler list totally obscures it.

It's a great struggle between two different evils during a wartime evil, but perhaps too much attention to the two young main actors doubt on the movie's success.

Couples Retreat (2009)

A triumph of falsehood with truly pathetic actors.

[3/10 · 13 May 2022]

Movie with the usual American commercial ideas that It seems that they want to sell some product... the usual plot suitable for people with a low intellectual level, looking for fun without values. An audience of actors with perfect bodies, when in reality the United States has incredible obesity... constant sexual innuendo, because sex is a serious problem in this society. The actors are extremely fake and their acting is similar to each other. A truly shameful film.

L'eredità dello zio buonanima (1974)

Movie shot in Guidonia near Rome and very folkloric.

[7/10 · 10 May 2022]

The cast is pretty good, but it's theatrical and not cinematic. Its plot is typically Italian with the typical clown style and jealousy of the people of Italy. Overall it's fun but also very banal.

Buffalo Soldiers (2001)

Absolutely exaggerated and unrealistic.

[6/10 · 9 May 2022]

It is a movie with a very good cast and ideas that entertain until the end. The main problem is that it would be unthinkable to imagine such a realistic film if it were really reality, and therefore like all things that are not possible, it is a film of illusions and distorted...

Il marito in collegio (1977)

A little Italian Gem.

[8/10 · 8 May 2022]

The humor of this movie is very effective and the plot is original and full of captivating episodes. The actors are very good and they manage to entertain in every moment.

The Hidden (1987)

Repetitive but extremely effective.

[7/10 · 5 May 2022]

The actors are quite good, the plot always entertains at all times, because the idea that moves everything is extremely good. An excellent action movie with almost no flaws, if not its extreme unreality.

Apostle (2018)

Great potential but totally disappointing.

[5/10 · 4 May 2022]

This movie has an interesting plot that develops the action to the end, entertaining and without boredom. The big problem is the lack of realism in every main scene, where credibility is lacking. The ending is also almost surreal and not really conclusive.

Nightwatch (1997)

An electrifying but very limited movie.

[7/10 · 3 May 2022]

The different types of characters are very interesting and effective in the plot that simply but effectively hides the reality behind it. The movie has big limits but always manages to give great action and suspense.

Kick-Ass (2010)

Movie full of flaws but of great entertainment.

[7/10 · 1 May 2022]

The movie has the usual rather stupid plot of too many American films of this type, and is full of errors or exaggerations in the scenes, in the acting, and in the ballistics. However, in general, it is a fun movie and is never boring.

The Great Outdoors (1988)

Excellent scene with the bear and nothing more.

[5/10 · 30 April 2022]

This movie represents the mediocre product of American actors. It is a rather mundane and clumsy comedy, not very funny and not very intelligent, it entertains intermittently but has a rather comical ending with the presence of the big bear.

Nothing But Trouble (1991)

Grotesque but not funny.

[4/10 · 29 April 2022]

The plot of this movie copies a lot of the satires of Count Dracula where a group of unfortunate people is lost in a place with monsters... the problem is in the characters, who are not of a good level and in general there is none enough fun. The actors are also quite passive, possessing only external beauty.

Stripes (1981)

Very funny but very American.

[6/10 · 28 April 2022]

The quality is high and the cast is funny but the plot and the jokes are extremely stupid, typical of American humor, with a lot of nudity and nothing really intelligent. Undeniable entertainment capacity for two hours straight.

Fresh (2022)

Truly horrible actors and not at all original ideas.

[4/10 · 28 April 2022]

The only good thing about this movie is its ability to entertain. The biggest flaw is to have the two main actors continuously with very artificial smiles and equally false and out of reality glances. The plot and the ideas have already been seen in many other movies...

Harry and Tonto (1974)

Uninteresting but that would be the meaning of life.

[6/10 · 25 April 2022]

This movie is like a documentary about what life is like, represented by an old man and all his social and family problems. Overall it has a more than decent quality, the actors are quite good, but certainly, the plot is not very interesting.

N (Io e Napoleone) (2006)

Not serious, childish movie

[5/10 · 24 April 2022]

The exaggerated way to speak using the native dialect of Tuscany and the characters loaded with an extremely theatrical mood, create a rather silly atmosphere. The actors are beautiful but not always of a good level, and the plot with its main ideas leaves a lot to be desired...

Teresa the Thief (1973)

Vitti is one of the greatest actresses ...

[8/10 · 24 April 2022]

This movie is a long and sad but very realistic story, showing the ups and downs of life that we cannot entirely control. The ideas are many and the direction is wise, while the actress is divine. Excellent movie that entertains but leaves so much bitterness in the bottom of the heart.

Io so che tu sai che io so (1982)

Romantic and profound movie, of the old Italian style.

[8/10 · 22 April 2022]

The two main actors are among the best ever and the plot is always interesting and wise. The movie is teaching something about life, and never boring.

Chi si ferma è perduto (1960)

Excellent movie, old Italian style

[8/10 · 22 April 2022]

The two main actors are brilliant and use a long line of funny jokes of excellent humor, and it's hard not to laugh. The movie is intelligent and never boring.

That Man from Rio (1964)

Running continuously and ending up in banality.

[6/10 · 18 April 2022]

This movie is full of action and the actors are quite interesting, but the ideas and scenes are too repetitive, with a rather simple plot, and an ending that has been seen too many times and ends up in boredom...

Dark Glasses (2022)

The worst acting in the world.

[3/10 · 17 April 2022]

This movie follows the style and the problems of the last films of the famous Italian director, the first ones were brilliant, and then a series of failures. The most astonishing thing is the terrible acting and the few ideas with an extremely simple plot, and easy to predict.

Death on the Nile (2022)

African women, Indian men, an old European novel...

[4/10 · 16 April 2022]

This movie is self-congratulatory, that is, it shows beautiful sets that appear artificial and not real, and many bad and unsuitable actors (there were no Indian and no African among the rich in a novel from a century ago). A total disappointment, the show without any content.

Rent-a-Kid (1995 TV Movie)

Banal but entertaining movie.

[6/10 · 15 April 2022]

All the actors are just decent and the plot is not original, but it seems to work well. The final effect is modest fun but without boredom....... Banal but entertaining movie.

Sword of Honour (2001 TV Movie)

Wise, varied, complete, exciting, realistic.

[8/10 · 14 April 2022]

This movie has all the qualities to be an entertaining and teaching film. There is a beautiful story of an honest and courageous man in a difficult and troubled world that revolves around. The actors and the sets, at certain moments, have some problems but the plot, the ideas, and the completeness of the life of man during the war, make us understand many useful things.
