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
The filmography of director John McTiernan could be defined with the expression “few but good”. Not because he carefully chose his projects and made them with an obsessive attention to details like Stanley Kubrick did. But simply because as long as he worked, he worked well. Then they put him in jail and he stayed there … More Predator: Movie Review
Hot Fuzz is the second film of the Cornetto trilogy directed by Edgar Wright and starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Released in 2007, three years after the first film, Shaun of the Dead, and six years before the third and final film, The World’s End, it was a box office hit with $80 million … More Hot Fuzz: Movie Review
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
Finally, here I am writing about Young Sherlock Holmes (it’s also known with the alternative title Pyramid of Fear), the 1985 film written by Chris Columbus and directed by Barry Levinson. Why finally? Because this is undoubtedly one of the movies I love the most, and not only because the protagonist is a young version … More Young Sherlock Holmes / Pyramid Of Fear: Movie Review
The hype-train is going full speed to the new Chapter of It since most people enjoyed so much Chapter One! This is certainly another sign of how I don’t know much about cinema, as I’m surely mistaken… Why, you’re wondering, what do I think of It: Chapter One by Andy Muschietti? Let’s start with some positive … More It – Chapter One: Movie Review
The goonies (goonies having the double meaning of losers and also inhabitants of the Goon docks of the city of Astoria, Oregon) is a real cult movie. Don’t believe me? Just go to the part of Twitter talking about cinema and you’ll find a lot of love for this 1985 movie directed by Richard Donner! … More The Goonies: Movie Review
Memoirs of an Invisible Man is a 1992 film directed by John Carpenter starring Chevy Chase and, among others, Daryl Hannah and Sam Neill. It must be said that 1992’s Carpenter was very different from the Carpenter that only a few years before had made masterpieces like Halloween (1978), Escape from New York (1981), The Thing (1982), … More Memoirs of an Invisible Man: Movie Review
Before we start: yes, I had already seen Minority Report, but since I did it in 2002 I only remembered the opening scene. For the rest, I didn’t even remember if I liked it or not… so I got it on DVD (in a nostalgic operation I also bought Duel, Jurassic Park and The Big Lebowski) … More Minority Report: Movie Review
Up to now I haven’t been interested at all in all these live action remakes of the Disney classics and I doubt that I will become interested anytime soon. But I went to see Dumbo for the respect I bear to the name of Tim Burton, director who I undoubtedly consider among my favorites. In … More Dumbo: Movie Review
