Ghosts of Mars is currently John Carpenter’s penultimate film. It came out in 2001, when the American director was just 53 years old, and it was so badly received that he practically retired from the scene and didn’t direct anyt other movie for nine years (when he made The Ward, 2010). But is Ghosts of … More Ghosts of Mars: Movie Review
1995 was a particularly prolific year for Quentin Tarantino. Among other things, it was the year in which the weird From Dusk Till Dawn came out, based on a script that he wrote for 1,500 dollars kinda as an excuse for Robert Kurtzman’s special effects rather than to write a cinematic masterpiece (in fact, it’s deliberately a … More From Dusk Till Dawn: Movie Review
I know that I wrote that I consider Assault On Precinct 13 (1976) to be John Carpenter’s debut film. But how could I not review his true first feature, that is the precious Dark Star directed in 1974 when he was still a film school student? I had to do it, and here I am doing … More Dark Star: Movie Review
Lo so, lo so, ho scritto che considero Assault on Precinct 13 (Distretto 13: Le brigate della morte, 1976) il film d’esordio di John Carpenter. Ma come potevo esimermi dal recensire anche il suo vero primo lungonetraggio, ovvero quel gioiellino di Dark Star diretto nel 1974 quando ancora era studente alla scuola di cinema? Ecco, … More Dark Star: recensione del film
Il 1995 fu un anno particolarmente prolifico per Quentin Tarantino. Tra le altre cose, lavorò a quella bestia strana di From Dusk Till Dawn, Dal tramonto all’alba che uscì nel 1996. Il film nacque dalla sceneggiatura scritta per millecinquecento dollari da un Tarantino che stava ancora tentando la sua carriera di attore (vedasi la sua … More From Dusk Till Dawn: recensione del film
I’ve always enjoyed the work of British director Danny Boyle. Despite being somewhat discontinuous, he has directed some truly remarkable films such as Trainspotting which made him famous in 1996, and has already won an Oscar with Slumdog Millionaire (2008), which in total received eight Academy awards. But in my opinion his best movies include Trainspotting, … More 28 Days Later: Movie Review
Danny Boyle è un regista che ho sempre apprezzato. Pur essendo un po’ discontinuo, ha diretto alcuni film davvero notevoli come quel Trainspotting che gli ha dato la notorietà nel 1996, e ha già vinto un Oscar col suo Slumdog Millionaire (2008) che in tutto si è aggiudicato ben otto statuette dell’Academy. Ma per me sul … More 28 Days Later: recensione del film
John Carpenter was awarded with the Carrosse d’Or at the 2019 edition of the Cannes Film Festival. In the masterclass that accompanied the ceremony, and in order to continue to make himself adored by everyone in Hollywood, he defined himself as the anti-Spielberg. I’m sure he did it so to be sure to continue not to … More The Thing: Movie Review
Escape from New York is one of the few box office successes of John Carpenter (although it was a low budget film, costing just 6 million dollars of the time). Despite being very young when he made it, the director rose to fame with Halloween (1978), which he directed two years after his splendid Assault on … More Escape from New York: Movie Review
1997: Fuga da New York (semplicemente Escape from New York il titolo originale) è uno dei pochi successi al botteghino di John Carpenter (era comunque un film a basso budget, 6 milioni di dollari dell’epoca), che pur essendo giovanissimo quando lo diresse (era il 1981) aveva già fatto scalpore col suo Halloween (1978), di due … More Escape from New York: recensione del film
