The new single from Gianfranco Caliendo & Miele Band, issued in September 2021:
LE CANZONI DEL GIARDINO
The song mixes prog music with Italian pop melody, while the lyrics are autobiographical. Gianfranco shares the lead vocal duties with the other members of the band: Dami Tedesco (acoustic guitar), Vito Capone (drums) and Piero Pisano (bass). Also featuring Flora Contento, author of the lyrics.
The track is the very first single from the new album, released in May 5th, 2022: OLTRE IL GIARDINO.

She looks like SHREK.
Terrible CGI.

The big set-piece at the Statue of Liberty is actually pretty good. Except it’s in the middle of the movie, and the climax doesn’t measure up to it. I read somewhere that they had to cut back on bigger action scenes. But this allegedly cost $40 million which sounds like a shit-ton for a 1985 release. $40 million in 1985 is about $105 million today.
They surely inflated the figure for hype reasons. It's impossible that the movie costed so much.

The action was terrific and memorable. The Statue of Liberty, the infiltration sequence, the entire third part of the movie. Exciting, impressive and terrific. It wasn't supposed to be COMMANDO or RAMBO II. It was different, of course.
Actually, REMO WILLIAMS (warts and all) is a better film than COMMANDO and RAMBO II -- which are laughably stupid junk. Neither of those films, though, feature a bad special effect of a guard dog walking a tight-rope... (They have their own set of problems.)
LOL, if memory serves me well... the dog TRULY performed that!

$40 million in 1985 is about $105 million today. Yeah see, there you go. Not sure where the rest of the money went aside from that Statue of Liberty scene.
The last third of the movie is full of spectacular action.

But the action is often lackluster or lame, and parts of it are pretty dumb.

FRED WARD was a legend to me. He was one of my top 10 actors. I'm devastated.
REMO WILLIAMS is an adventure masterpiece, and a big cult classic. In Italy, it was a huge success.
TIMERIDER is one of the most wonderful time travel movies in history.
I loved each role that he played in his astonishing career & life.
You're my hero, Fred. Rest in peace.

Still unsure if this is a sequel or remake. It'd make sense for the sequel to begin when Ash wakes up in the puddle but raises continuity issues, i.e. the book was burned in the first movie but intact here. On the audio commentary, it's joked Ash being stupid enough to go back to the cabin.
Since I don't have an immediate copy of Army of Darkness to access, might check out the TV series again.
It's a sequel. The (heavy) "discrepancies" between THE EVIL DEAD and EVIL DEAD II can be explained as THE EVIL DEAD being Ash's "flawed" mental retelling/depiction of the night before. As simple as that, Ash's memory has been heavily damaged by trauma and concussive hits.
The entire beginning/recap of EVIL DEAD II is another "delusional" memory of Ash. You never see the Necronomicon again in the movie. The Necronomicon was still lying in the fire place. Ash recovered the book from it when he came back from the Middle Ages (as revealed by AvED).
THE EVIL DEAD and EVIL DEAD II both occur in October 1982. A story-arc of two consecutive days. Ash is 24 years old.
AvED also revealed that the Knowby Cabin is located in Elk Rapids, Michigan.

You said “Disney screwed it”. I’m confused.
Yes. It could have been perfect. It isn't.

These tv shows all seem to end up being disappointing and/or divisive. People need to vote with their wallet- if you think the shows suck, cancel your subscription. It’s hilarious that so many people dislike the product but keep paying for it anyway.
I loved the show.

Episode 6 was visually fascinating, but I just wanted Moon Knight in his full Moon Knight mode, fighting alone against evil. I did not want an Avengers-like sidekick helping him. Everything in the Disney MCU franchise must turn into a SUPERHERO-CROWDED FEST for the sake of the Almighty Disney Continuity and the next Avengers phase to be introduced. Formula, formula, formula.
I just wanted Moon Knight fighting Harrow and his men without Scarlet Scarab or any other Marvel superhero, and no "Jake Lockley Blackout" stopping us to see how much Moon Knight is able to save the day at the very end.
PLUS, I don't like that Marc and Steven are now able to switch in a matter of picoseconds, as well as Moon Knight and Mr. Knight co-existing in a fight.
The ending is very confusing, especially the Asylum scene.
So again, Disney screwed it.

For the first time, MCU is useful in my universe.
