Into the Woods

From the highly acclaimed (I wonder why...) Broadway musical, the long awaited theatrical version of the revisited and mixed Disney tales, all together in a bombastic adaptation, is nothing more than a quite boring patchwork of scenes. Missable. Mark: 6 / 10

The Grand Budapest Hotel

Technically and actingly superb, this enjoyable divertissement unfortunately gives an overall slight impression of stretched-to-excess funny experiment. Mark: 7.75 / 10

How to Train Your Dragon 2

Frankly I mildly disagree with all the people saying this is better than the first chapter, but it remains a great animated work of art and deserves all the praises it got. Highly recommended. Mark: 8 / 10

Diana

More than an elegant portrait of Lady Di's last years, this product resembles a cheap adaptation from a mediocre Harmony novel. Naomi, what have you done? Mark: 5 / 10

The Normal Heart

From a 1985 theatrical play, a moving and somewhat interesting HBO movie. Not entirely developed, in my opinion. And the co-producer Ruffalo should have renounced to the main role. Mark: 6.5 / 10

Movie 43

It's so excessive and disturbing that it ends to be dull and completely, madly, frantically useless. One of the worst movies I've ever seen. Indeed. And don't tell me I haven't properly understood it: it's rubbish. Mark: 2 / 10

Maleficent

Despite my skepticism, the overall weak reception by the majority of specialized journalists, and the risks of a complete reinterpretation of the so well-known fairytale, this movie is a gem. The mad king and the inept fairies are unmissable, as well as the unique Angelina. Mark: 8 / 10
