River (2023)
8/10
An achievement
10 November 2023
This is a great little movie, a real gem and an absolute must watch wether you're into fantasy or science fiction or not, wether you're into japanese movies and culture or not. It is a movie done with a very small budget and small group of actors basically in one single location. The script is mostly hilarious and moving at times, so full of inventions and situations and the characters are all extremely well crafted. The direction is purely virtuosic. Basically each two minutes loop is a non stop sequence and each one of them is different from the other. I do not want to spoil any element as it's important to watch it without knowing anything more than the basic concept. Believe me, I do not write reviews very often and if I do it's for an extremely good reason.

Quintessential seventh art experience
21 June 2022
This movie it's far to be perfect but it's an honest and funny love letter to a century of moviemaking. There's everything inside this movie, from Goerges Méliès to David Lynch with a bit of Monty Python. An ultra low budget gem beautifully shot with a great editing. It is surely worth a watch.

Constantine (2014–2015)
6/10
Could have been better
16 July 2019
It is quite evident that the writers struggled to find a direction to this show. The pilot had some reshootings due to some cast and storyline changes and the first episodes suffer from a repetitive scheme. It took half a season for the series to find its way but it did and the second half is damn good. Worth watching.

Swamp Thing (2019)
10/10
Best comic book adaptation ever
16 July 2019
There's no much to add. Swamp Thing is the best comic book adaptation I've ever seen. It captures the essence of the character and it's entertaining. Too bad the show was cancelled...

Man-Thing (2005)
3/10
Don't waste your time
8 July 2019
It is a bad movie. Badly written and directed, not to mention the acting. And to make matters worse, it misses completely the point in depicting the Man Thing character. There's no origin story, no empathy with the creature and you do not understand its purpose. Steve Gerber's stories were so thematical and the Man Thing, despite being almost brainless, worked as a cathartic catalyst. He could discern good from evil and was a strange kind of antihero. Waste of time.
