It’s Kazon time again! This is the fourth Kazon episode, and so far they’ve all been good (the first three were: Caretaker, State of Flux and Initiations). Maneuvers starts really well but the ending is disappointing, a bit like previous week’s Cold Fire. I wonder why the writers messed it up so much, but probably … More Star Trek: Voyager – S02E11, Maneuvers
Persistence of Vision has some interesting ideas but its plot is not entirely convincing. The USS Voyager is preparing to enter Bothan territory but Janeway is stressed out: she has a thousand things to do and she doesn’t have enough time to dedicate to all those who seek her. In particular, she’s working hard to … More Star Trek: Voyager – S02E08, Persistence of Vision
It’s as simple as that: Robert Picardo makes everything better. Projections is yet another episode in which the holodeck malfunctions and endangers the lives of the crew. Been there, done that. Do you remember Heroes and Demons? This time the episode works a little better, both thanks to Picardo and to the numerous plot twists. … More Star Trek: Voyager – S02E03, Projections
In its search for energy due to the problems sustained by the ship during the traumatic journey from the Alpha quadrant, the USS Voyager arrives at a desert planet suggested by the good Neelix. The Voyager crew also starts appreciating (!) his culinary skills, by the way, so his transformation into Voyager’s Quark is really … More Star Trek: Voyager – S01E05, Phage
Broken Flowers is a 2005 film written and directed by Jim Jarmusch. I’ve already written a lot about his work which is so significant for American independent cinema (I reviewed all his films prior to this, and also The Dead Don’t Die, 2019), so it should be clear that I very much appreciate him as … More Broken Flowers: Movie Review
I adore Tim Burton as a director and I have seen almost all of his films since his debut Beetlejuice (1988). Now I finally managed to watch one of his few films I hadn’t seen yet, Planet of the Apes (2001), with Mark Whalberg, Tim Roth and Helena Bonham Carter. It was a bit of … More Planet of the Apes: Movie Review
Tim Burton è un regista che adoro e ho visto quasi tutti i suoi film sin dal suo esordio Beetlejuice (1988). Ora sono finalmente riuscito a guardare uno dei suoi pochi film che mi mancavano, Planet of the Apes – Il pianeta delle scimmie, del 2001, con Mark Whalberg, Tim Roth e Helena Bonham Carter. … More Planet of the Apes (2001): recensione del film
Lo scrivo subito: io adoro Casablanca, il film diretto da Michael Curtiz uscito nel 1942 con Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman e Paul Henreid. Me lo riguardo spesso, ogni volta mi commuove il finale e mi emozionano tutti i colpi di scena della trama. Trovo perfetto il suo fervente anti-nazismo, le scenografie perfettamente costruite nei Warner … More Casablanca: recensione del film
Steamboat Bill, Jr. is a 1928 film directed by Charles Reisner and starring Buster Keaton. Having been made almost a hundred years ago, it’s of course a silent, black and white film, but despite what you may think if you haven’t seen it, it has aged incredibly well and it’s still a brilliant 71 minutes-long comedy! … More Steamboat Bill, Jr.: Movie Review
The City on the Edge of Forever: even before watching this episode I was fascinated by its title, so captivating, mysterious, and evocative. And then it only improves on that, this is truly a masterpiece! It’s the second episode dealing with time travel after Tomorrow is Yesterday, but this one is far superior! There’s little … More Star Trek: TOS – S01E28, The City on the Edge of Forever
