Repo Man is a cult movie mixing the most diverse genres: science fiction, action, fantasy, thriller, dramatic, comedy… If you ask me to define it with a single adjective, I would use “punk”. This film doesn’t give a s**t about anyone or anything and brings home a great result, even if at the time (1984) … More Repo Man: Movie Review
It cannot be said that with his fourth film, Mystery Train (1989), Jim Jarmusch strayed too far from his style. Perhaps, since his previous film was the brilliant comedy Down By Law (1986), it would’ve been fair to expect something more than what appears to be a simple evolution of the director’s first two works, Permanent … More Mystery Train: Movie Review
Due occhi diabolici (Two Evil Eyes) è una collaborazione del 1990 tra Dario Argento e George Romero, due maestri del genere horror. Si tratta di un film composto da due episodi separati, Fatti nella vita del signor Valdemar diretto da Romero con protagonista Adrienne Barbeau (The Fog, Escape from New York), e Il gatto nero … More Due occhi diabolici: recensione del film
Permanent Vacation (1980) is to the filmography of Jim Jarmusch what Dark Star (1974) is to that of John Carpenter: it’s the director’s final film school project. Ok, I admit it, I’m always mentioning John Carpenter! Then let me compare Permanent Vacation to Eraserhead (1977) by David Lynch and to Following (1998) by Christopher Nolan. In other … More Permanent Vacation: Movie Review
Young Frankenstein is a film directed by Mel Brooks and released in 1974 with Gene Wilder as the protagonist. I think that it’s one of the best comedies ever made and, probably, also the best film by the American director. This is a perfect parody of a classic Frankenstein movie which, if you think about it, is also one … More Young Frankenstein: Movie Review
The first half of the Eighties has certainly been a cinematic golden age for Stephen King. Two wonderful movies based on his writings were released in 1983 alone: Christine by John Carpenter and The Dead Zone by David Cronenberg (and no, I don’t include Cujo by Lewis Teague among the wonderful movies of 1983). And only three … More The Dead Zone: Movie Review
And for the 250th time I have watched Halloween, the 1978 film directed by John Carpenter and starring Jamie Lee Curtis (she was 19 year old at that time!!!). This should already say something about what I think of the movie: it’s an incredible unrivaled masterpiece that should be watched and re-watched all the time. I … More John Carpenter’s Halloween: Movie Review
The Lost Boys is a 1987 movie directed by Joel Schumacher (the same guy who directed Falling Down, to name one) starring Jason Patric and Corey Haim (who died in 2010 after a wrecked life). Let me tell you straight: I liked this movie a lot. I found it well done, fun, with great special effects, a … More The Lost Boys: Movie Review
Wes Craven has been one of the most important horror directors of the last 50 years. In the Seventies he had a fairly good success with his debut feature The Last House On The Left (1972), shot almost at no cost, and especially with The Hills Have Eyes (1977): both these movies are considered classics of … More Scream: Movies’ Reviews
The Fog is the third movie directed by John Carpenter and was released two years after his greatest success: Halloween (1978). Although it pertains to the same genre of the latter (horror / thriller), the American director couldn’t have made a more different film. In other words: any other young director would have limited himself to … More The Fog: Movie Review
