The Walking Dead: Them (2015) Season 5, Episode 10

One of the greatest episodes of The Walking Dead

[10/10 · 12 September 2023]

One of the greatest episodes. Thanks!

We are facing the most emotional and profound episode of the season, and one of the last great installments on a narrative and visual level.

With an exhausted group, but always alive. A cold Rick, about to be bitten and that scene and dialogue in the barn, worthy of the best moments in the history of television.

Is it the closing of a cycle?

Is it the last great season of the series?

I know the music is splendid. The action scenes are as realistic as we already know A chapter of excellent craftsmanship with an expectant ending towards the next turn.

Health!

Avatar: The Way of Water (2022)

Visually splendid, Narratively exhausted?

[7/10 · 6 September 2023]

Mainly it is a raucous and amazing movie. Yeah. But narratively limited. The general sensation is of always being in a gray that wanders between genuine emotions (beautiful by the way) and the stretching of a plot that we already saw in Avatar (2009) and already savored. There remains a feeling of flatness in the creative. Of austerity and lengthening.

Is it high-flying cinema? Are we really in a time of great movies?

It is a difficult question to answer.

The performances are great. The music, beautiful. The story... well herein lies the biggest problem.

There is much ado about nothing.

Perhaps James Cameron will reconsider a greater number of argumentative twists for 3. Those that make your skin crawl.

The X-Files: Redux II (1997) Season 5, Episode 2

The x files reaches the top in Redux II

[10/10 · 16 August 2023]

The chapter continues in a dizzying and surprising way the plot of Redux I, another huge chapter of excellent manufacturing.

The style is more elaborate than ever and works as a summary of the entire series with the best performances and scenes I can remember. The script is 10 out of 10 the x files reaches the top in Redux II. The style is more elaborate than ever and works as a summary of the entire series with the best performances and scenes I can remember. The script is 10 out of 10. The plot twists and the music by Mark Snow are great. There is an improvement in visual quality and in the filming settings that are tinged with the Washington office environment and allow one to delve into the conspiracy plot.

Exciting and magnificent!

For me it is the best chapter of the entire series and closes the perfect trilogy together with Gethsemane and Redux I.

Fear the Walking Dead (2015–2023)

Only for the first 3 seasons

[7/10 · 17 April 2023]

It's a great series...until the fourth season. I mean, the first 3 are magnificent, right? What happened? The change of showrunner in my opinion caused the series to wander in soulless characters, a wrong aesthetic and a monotony never seen before. I had impeccable intrigue and excitement in the first 3 thanks to Madison; Travis: Nick and Alicia... without them coming together it will never work. Was leaving town a good idea? Emulating TWD in the permanent desire of the characters was the beginning of everything? I think it extended too much and I think that in the 4th or 5th it should have ended. At the top and with the family together.
