Speak Now (Taylor's Version) is the third album Taylor Swift has re-recorded, after having her first six records sold to an old enemy, Scooter Braun.  With this project, Swift wants to take back ownership of her songs and prevent them from being used by others without her consent.  It's also a way to relive her emotions and her stories from a more confident and mature perspective. The original album, released in 2010, was the first where Swift had written all of her songs herself.  It was a record in which she showed her fighting spirit, her imagination and her ability to tell intimate and illuminating details.  His sound moved from country to pop-rock, with influences from punk and gothic.  Her ballads expanded into epic scales, ready to fill the arenas she now crowded. The new version of the album is quite faithful to the original, with some minor changes in production and lyrics.  Swift's voice is more controlled and less acerbic, but she man...

Insidious: The Red Door is the latest chapter in the horror saga that began in 2010 with Insidious, directed by Patrick Wilson (also starring) and written by Scott Teems from a story by Leigh Whannell. The film takes up the story of the Lambert family, who must face once and for all the demons that haunt them from the world of the afterlife. Josh (Wilson) and Dalton (Ty Simpkins), father and son, must enter deeper than ever into the dark kingdom to discover the secret behind the red door, the source of all their nightmares. The film is proposed as a conclusive finale of the saga, but fails to convince or scare. Wilson's direction is flat and predictable, without the mastery and inventiveness of James Wan and Leigh Whannell, who had been able to create a disturbing and original atmosphere in the first two chapters. The script is confusing and repetitive, recycling the same elements from the previous films without adding anything new or interesting. The characters ar...
