Today we went to Brighton for the Pride Parade. The weather was awful for the first two hours, with a gloomy gray sky, rain and cold. The result, adding the late train from London, was a total disaster during the parade: just few nice shots, but nothing to be [...]

In the Crowded Market, originally uploaded by Carlo Nicora.
Markets are the perfect place to become more confident in shooting people at short distance. Usually there is a lot going on, many stalls full of items people are interested in and many distractions in which you can blend in and [...]
Yesterday Fabiana and I, joined by Cristiano and Melinda, went to the cinema to watch the new Indiana Jones. The taste in my mouth, after the end of the credits on the big screen, is bittersweet. Some parts of this film are amongst the best I have ever seen in a Lucas film, some others [...]
On August 15th “The Clone Wars” will be released. The trailer is extremely interesting: after a while you stop seeing the drawing and you watch a movie!
I have already seen the girl in some film, but I cannot remember exactly where!
This morning I was reading some blogs and I ended up reading about a TV Show, Quarterlife, that was rejected by ABC. The producers decided to push the contents on internet, opening a website and broadcasting the episodes for free.
The trailer I watched hit me violently: a total geek TV Serie!
I watched the first episode [...]
When for the first time I had seen the photos of the Kindle, Amazon “revolutionary”(!) ebook reader, I felt sick. I did not throw out, though, until someone compared that “thing” to the iPhone. I mean, have you seen it? When I think to the reader of the future I can think to the Rex Iliad, [...]
The big question is: should we expect a film capable of being compared with its predecessors? I hope so, because Indiana Jones has been one of the few film series I have loved.
This time the “professor” is back, even if Harrison Ford is 66. What should we expect? Well, hard to say.
It is pretty clear that I will never be able to see the REM live: it is not my destiny.
The first time I missed them was in 1990. I was enjoying my holidays in Sicily and they played in Catania. Unfortunately my holiday ended one day before the concert… nice coincidence!
Back in 1999, when I [...]
The Golden Compass is, first and foremost, a book. To be honest the real name of the book is The Northern Light, but once more Americans decided it was not a good name for a book. Since yesterday it is also a film, which I have watched in its first night.
It is hard for me [...]
In Rainbows is the new Radiohead’s album. Ok, what is new in this, you may ask. The Price, is the answer! In Rainbows can be downloaded from inrainbows website for the price you think fair. You do not need to read it again, you have understood well.
I think that this is a disruptive approach [...]
In these last months the trilogy “His Dark Materials” has been one of the best I’ve read. The books are very well written and the story is so strange to be intriguing!
Now the time has come for Hollywood to take care of this books, even if I do not think that they will produce the [...]
I got a lot of thoughts about Harry Potter in these days. The emptiness inside is still big with the seventh book, but today I want to focus on the fifth film: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
In the end I think that this fifth film has been the worst of those produced. [...]
I have seen it, what were you thinking? Do you really believe that I would have lost the fifth film, don’t you? I was there not precisely at midnight the first night, but just few hours later.
IÂ have to admit that after few minutes in the film I already noticed the many differences between the script and [...]
Today my curiosity pushed me to search some information on Evangelion. Some months ago I heard the rumor that some new films would have been released, but there was nothing sure, so this morning (with some very strange logic connections) I searched in the most updated site for these information: Wikipedia!
After few lines on the [...]
In these days I’m listening to the latest Maroon 5 album, It won’t be soon before long, but I still don’t know if I like it or not.
Some of the songs have quite a good rhythm, some others have gorgeous lyrics, but in the end it is not conquering my heart as “Songs About Jane” [...]
Since yesterday night, when I watched a film on the tv, I got one song in my mind, that goes without a single break.
Some months ago, Fabiana and I were walking, in a sunny Sunday Morning, in Covent Garden. Someone was playing this song, and I think I will never forget that moment.
I took a [...]
Yesterday Fabiana and I went to a Concert here in London. I have to admit that I had never listened to the group we watched at the Astoria: the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. Being there without a clue I really didn’t know what to expect from this American band. With the songs going on I [...]
Today I was putting some things in order and I decided to watch the first episodes of Neon Genesis Evangelion. It has always been my most beloved anime ever, and getting back to it ten years after the first time I saw it has been really Great!
The first episodes are the best, while the latest [...]
I’m monotasking, I know :P but today, reading rumors and rants about the latest book of Harry Potter, I have discovered the High Definition trailer for the 2007 film: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
The trailer is the one that I have posted here some times ago, but I have to admit that [...]
Today Fabiana and I were discussing about Harry Potter. Sometimes we hear someone talking very badly about the books, but most of the times those who speak in this way are the ones who never read J.K. Rowling’s the books.
The saga of the young wizard had already seen 6 books, and the fan are waiting [...]
Today my iTunes playlist stopped in a song I’ve heard some months ago and I’ve played it a couples of times, because it’s a really good piece of music.
The young man you can see on the YouTube video has used the nickname of FunTwo, and for months he has been the most viewed on the [...]
In these days I’m talking a lot about technology, computer and so on, and I like it, but sometimes I like to post some juicy news about other stuff apart from the technoidiocy I’m working with!
Today I’ve discovered the first trailer of the new Harry Potter film: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix!
I’ve [...]
Some years ago I whatched the film of Dungeons & Dragons and I felt sick. It was a real crap!
Yesterday I have seen that 20th Century Fox is ready to release Eragon, another fantasy film draw from a book. Now, if you don’t keep “The Lord of the Rings” into consideration, which other fantasy film [...]
