Not every movie is Disney or Dreamworks when we talk about animation movies on the big screen. Some times, something gets out of the dust trying to gain a little place in the Animation Olympus. Today we'll take a look at "Song of the Sea", a 2014 folkloristic movie directed by Tomm Moore, but we also have a special guest throwing two pennies in, Giulzilla, who loves Moore's productions, and also suggested the movie to me and others. Premise Let's start by saying that the movie came in Italy just now, and it was released into foreign theaters 2 years ago (2014). The bad thing is that here in Italy it got no spots whatsoever and just 4 people went watching it at the first shooting in Lecce yesterday. Me and Giulzilla were 2 of those people. Plot This movie is like a fable inside a fable, it starts in fact with a mother telling to her son myths and legends about ancient irish creatures, namely the selkie (a magical woman who has a marvelous singing

It's not news that Blizzard's one of the most long running and innovative companies in the videogames genre. After a good series of both Warcrafts and World of Warcraft, followed by free to plays such as Heroes of the Storm and Hearthstone, and the newest addition Overwatch, today we see the birth of a retelling of the original Warcraft story in cinemas. Plot "Warcraft" is the first stone of the long bridge that will unite the gap between those who don't know videogames and those who remember "Warcraft: Orcs and Humans" with a nostalgic eye. The story begins just like "Assassin's Creed Brotherhood did back in its day, just from middle/end story, in which we see an orc fighting a human for no apparent reason. Through the first part of the movie we will come to know that orcs had once a huge world that got destroyed once Gul'Dahn became warchief, thanks also to a mysterious and evil magic force called Vil. This race went looking fo

Disney is known to be one of the most important and greatest world societies, a real multinational industry based on children dreaming with genuine, unforgettable and perfect works. Even if today there are not so many movies or productions worthy of being "classics", there are still the old ones, which can put up a fight to this day, surprising elders and younger audiences, through a simple and literally clean care for detail and feelings of watchers. We'll take in exam "Saving Mr. Banks", the movie about the movie Mary Poppins, which is about what happens before, during and after the movie productions, as well as what changed in Traver's mind through the experience. The Story This movie is based on the real story and feelings that Travers felt before the movie productions. 20 years have passed since Walt Disney called the writer to convince her giving him the rights of the character, and we start watching the situation unfold from the moment Tr

Hello there fellas, welcome to Akki News, a blog I created back in 2010/2011 (don't quite remember) completely in italian, where I simply put all of the stuff I liked or wanted to talk about. This is nothing less than a carbon copy of that site, where I will, from now on, post most of the stuff I write translated in english. We're talking about reviews here: they're not technical, but simply put, they are a quick read that somebody can check out before jumping into a game, an anime, a book or a movie. Most of them will be spoiler - free, since I think that it's vital for everyone to enjoy something completely, without knowing too much about it. That being said, I hope that this blog will be useful to those who want to know what I post and can actually read it in an understandable language, look forward to my next reviews!
