PS L this September we added Netflix  Short  reviews will be added here> any reviews more han 600 characters (ie posted also in imdb ) will be posted alone separately ,tagged as movie reviews .

Seoul vibes

I was really tired washing another Tokyo drift  or fast and furious movie . Again with fast cars  but not nice guys or girls bur everything other is the same except that it is in korean.

This story shows on how a good/bad team of guys and one girl  are involved  into a adventure on money laundering  .Nothing special except on the hiking of the bad people in the end of the movie   this part added some  interesting adrenaline 

 

Mission: Impossible – Fallout

Pros the movie : interesting plot with lots of action in many places worldwide . I thought it was his last movie until I seen in imdb

Very complex plot . still the story goes smoothly and finally the hero wins!

Cons of the movie : Hindi movie length . Around 150 minutes  !

Getting vague? Surely I hate to watch it again !

Red notice  :  very interesting story  humorous actions movie  with lots of interesting twists  and strong action I only rate movie with a 8/10 and would again like to watch it

Miss Baja : a very reaslitic story  regarding to many other crime stories I watch. The story is interesting wirth lots of blood and  gun fights .
in short this movie shows on how a American girl after visiting Mexico to lise for some tim wirth her friend but is involved into a recruit by a gang losing her.

Un Moglia Belissima : a very predictable movie with a typical and very linear story but very funny to watch . A very handsome photographer fins a peasant married beauty proposes her to be photographed in nude together with millions of fruits for a annual almanac. She is married with a quite crazy  but stupid spouse who talks a lot. The first twist is getting in love with the photographer who surely is a very good to play the Don Juan The third twist is hearing him to call her as  a trophy
I laughed all this time watching this movie BTW this
Though I rate it as 8/10 this is because we Greeks as Mediterranean  haver nearly the same mood with them even if Italians are even hotter in humor!

Fistful of vengeance ‘filmed’ in Thailand one of my top countries  in mind. This is because I visited that country and still continue involving with their pop rock music.  

I read many other reviews  in imdb that this is possibly as a sequel of other martial arts of stories This movie is totally tiring me from the continuous fights and I lost my interest after the half .

To add to that, the ‘funny’ salt  on this story are the rather vague addtions of metaphysics and superheroes .Alll of the are very noninsisting. First because their powers are just above the humans even the neanderthal is just funny trying to hit the main actor inside the well …

And finally  a movie without significant plot…

Kate :  would you like to watch a story  with lots of action much of blood and finally see something that continuously goes with fast review – for more explanations - get deeper into self emotions and finally get you out of your rail? Me not ! I got some nausea watching  it
Rate 6/10  

Ricos del amor:  this is very typical rom com story such what we can see locally I our Greek TV since the 60s .  A typical rich teenager who lived offering the good party with ‘chicks’  and now in the time to better manage his life. In a tomato party he falls in love with a nice and more mature girl and lives a rather new life until something happens and everything turns up to down after something compulsive

I was very much impressed with this movie 8.5/10 Part  of the rating goes to the excellent landscapes th good ‘filming’ and the high very high resolution 4K!

Drive 2019 a hindi movie that is not so ….hindi  Why? Simply because this story is as like copying a lots of American stories and making one new of their owm . I feel like watching Tokyo Drift, Fast and furious   Ocean’s series and a few more I don’t remember . For this reason it takes just 1/10

Lots of CGI in some scenes ass with the parking or the rotating cars funny canes with the long time standing mannequins  

In contrast to Ocean’s the story is not funny except the ideas they used to steal the money  and the end with several story twits

Even with all  these strange things the movie made me stop for 2.5 hours in the coach watching it  Just intresting story 5/10

 

Frinds with benefits : a movie that I have seen several times in the local TV but always watched after the middle.  Something as R16 rated due to some nudity or love action scenes .Both actors  are playing  good (Mila and Justin ) in a rather false motto that different sex friends cant get in love. This movie shows the reverse ,even if both try to insist for the contrary

7/10




----

T3 movie (27-8 updatees)

Surely oine of the most interesting movies of the TERMINATOR SERIES  wth a very sexy terminatress. Lots of string actions 

Bermuda  tentacles : seen the movie by chance again in  youtube exeocin to watch a terminator . the only comon with it was the actress for Sarah Conor. Just this . A movie that gets between scifi and horror a bit It is not fun but not even considered so much intereting

Some waster of money..

The terminators . Just a fun parody of terminators with excessive blood and humor. Oece again a waste of money for no reason even if it is fun . Too shallow story

Update 10-7-22 with oldies : 

Lost in translation: I expected something more close to the title ie that someone could not communicate easily with other due to problems between two languages. This is roughly only in short part of the movie when the main actor discussed with the …Jappies Otherwise he movie is just interesting. Seen only part of the movie as it was aired quite late at 0.00 ad afterwards in the local TV channel

4 weddng and a funeral : a very funny movie which made my mom to laugh before she changed the channel after 20 minutes! Nothing more  

 

Thelma and Luise

This is the only serious movie seen  from the 3 story posted here and surely a cult movie of the time. Many times before I tried to watch that but were unsuccessful . it was aired very late after 1230 midnight but I was lucky that I was “home alone”.

This is a slippery slope movie . Its starts nice but as the story unfolds the conditions were worse and ever worse. In just two words the story an be called : a nice trip with the car can get deadly – after you start making mistakes or involved with the most inappropriate persons . [brad pitt the stealer for example .isnt his debut?  ]

Both women are playing great

The movie surely gets 4+/5

 

 

Despicable me 2

Already  involved in  watching semi 3D children stories in the TV , tis is the first to watch in a 55 inch screen with near to 4K quality  that resembles the cinema quality  and between eple of the church of around 75+ aged. This story seems quite poignant and rather disturbing to the other partners  in the salon. So I kept  watching not more than 10 minutes. Humor but not so funny figures.If this movie would be played in Russia on 2000 it would get the R12

Normally for R8

 

Something is wrong with Mary

Alto0ugh th e story is interesting  the plot is neatly disgusting. Why ? simple the story shows 3 +1 people coaxing a woman,  The first of them was the near 5o marry her while they were younger – in the high school - when something happened (io forgot the story  10 days after watching the movie )n and her family left the city. 14 years after a friend and schoolmate advised her where she lives. 

Now what makes the story feel so ridiculous if not  disgusting : full of american gags of time:  mummifying in a way a dog  in the screen ,flamed and then water put to get again live, other similar gags int the same scene, shrunken old woman’s  boobs , girls  brother a dummy person asking his wurst – indirectly making anyone feel for his …penis as most other people felt in the scene- , the friend of Stiller who has a mysterious disease from lukewarm and moist getting dull pustules in his face , another person with hand supports in front of herin a way that she could not use them properly , and many other stupid gags that fill nearly the whole movie

Now on the latter 1 on the equation : he is her ex spouse.  

This makes me rate the plot to 1/5

If all these gags could be removed and  remade I feel the stoy would be much better

My curiosity was th onlyt reason to watch it even if the time was too late (1 on the monring ) and I was disappointed to lose my time

 

The first man

A very nice movie featuring Neil Armstrong the first person in the Moon with a even ore interesting PoVIew from his side A man with vision and presisntece to that program ven if one of the projects were unsuccessful . a good reason for any to watch it . Just above 8 years old guys to watch for here grece 4/5

 

 

A beautiful mind

Russel Crow iun a very nice but very long 3 hour movie with the history of a  geat mathematician John Nash He was was deprived by a strong fantasy of an antirussian tam tat followed him for vey long for decoding supposed hidden russian messages in he newspapers . This made him to leave his uniersity community etc but finally after some ??? he managed to coteol that a bit and finally get a higher degree

I m not sure if this is a real story but really the movie was very lovely this s Crowe’s most important acting  Very impressive 5/5!

 

Cowboys and aliens!

Hmm something that doesn’t stuck to me .How can the cowboys win the aliens . this is quite stupid. Just the solution was found in an alien who transferred into human and hd the solution with her : something as bomb and mind controlled weapon!  The movie is not comedy however !  
Rather bad idea 3/5

 

Invisible man 

Something vey different than the usual. In a car accident a young boy is kille while driving wit his car .  A illegal couple succeeds to vanish everything. His father tries unsuccessfully to ask the police to identify the supposed killers.. Who will win?  The story is very interesting and drags you . No calm points in the movie.

 

Robin hood  the start : A otal sacrilege the the RObinhoohs name with a total twist in the story as far we nyone knows. The nigger is robin’s ‘master’ guiding him on how to do his idea  in order to resist against the mean sargeant , even the priest is

Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (original title)

This is a movie tat I m sure I have seen on part and finally after more htna 20 years seen from its start .

Im not sure if this is the real stoy behind Robin Hood as robin seems as an exiled price who returned ac to his country together with a very wise Muslim .The story runs very smoothly can be seen very nice with some interesting twists especially with the Spanish blade in the end of the movie used by the sheriff

Very nice history 4/5

Safe

Mr bad guy of Hollywood in both good and bad side of view. An ex policeman who can even conduct all his cases in a invisible way ie untraced A young Chinese boy who can memorize a whole page that is full of numbers . All baddies and goodies of the movie want to use this boy for using this code for their own reason What is the result?  

Just see this interesting  movi with lots of action and blood 16/20 (ie above 16 in GR )

 

Father Rupert Mayer

Looked that in  local TV channel and was impressed from the fist time , after the 10th minutes of the start showing him pray for the horse whish recjected to walk for his boss. The movie qas aquite impressive in its start but not s smooth after he was arrested. Quite intersting in the whole story showing his bio mostly in the jails
A really tragic bio
Not interested in getting in the artistic of this movie

 

Early man This si a children movie if not family . nice graphics and interesting story weith a moral message .Noting more to say 3.5/5 

Awful truth :  both character are too funny as  like the poles of a magnet. Their coopeation to make her pick up the neighbor was the catalyst to make them get in love! Typical American romcom movie with no special kinds of overwhelming twists that can shock you except making you laugh  3/5  

 

Dolittle 2 : another movie with strong humor even a bit harsh .Very fyun to watch both animals and Eddie talking !

 

The bank job : a very nice story based on true facts Just some little anglish humor and adventure instead of action ! 4/5

 

Deepwater horizon :another story based on true facts on the burning on a gas system. Quite biring on the start gets much better on the second  part

 

Acts of vengeance this movie is also very good . Seen after the deepwater horizoin and btho were of the same rating, A man whos family was  killed after he couldn’t attend his daughter when she sung in the school stage . A very talking lawyer for criminals and a policeman who did V against him as his family was suffered from a criminal who declared innocent because of the first.

 

Captain America  superheroes who can make America proud! This s the very fun of the stoy that goes ion the start on how Cp America was designed and started his actions on the 40’s dutign the WWII . good as movie and story  tough very biased towards the american way of thinking . also the very twisted end…  3/5

 

Catch 44  Bruce Willis in a very short role in a movie showing him as primary actor . Quite thrilling story with a  blondie discussing with a gun for more than 30 minutes inside a bar for her rights to take her money back from a secret and hidden contract 2/5



K2
This is on of the latest series played in the most “filmy Tv” channel of  Greece . I was quite lucky to watch the series from its first episode
This is a Korean series the first in this TV  channel but not the first series in the greek TV
A local TV Channel in my city Salonica has payed the following series in the preiod of 2016 and later
  • "A Jewel in the Palace"/"Dae Jang-geum",
  • "Missing you"/"Bogoshipda"
  • "Descendants of the Sun"/"Tae-yang-eui hoo-ye"

The series is very short with just 16 episodes at all aired two dasy a week with two episodes per day in a very late time 12 at mid night. Fortunately  I was quite loose these days from any work with the abiity to watch them till 0230. In a short the series was very impressive  from the first  episode till its breathtaking and happy end
The main character K2 started in th series to  look for the responsible person to kill a woman an interpreter between Koreans and Arabs for a secret negotiation. I will ot get into details but K2 ‘s initial envy Choi Yoo Jin became guard of her and finally understood that all the o be protected  by him persons done that for only benefit full of deceits etc The only humble persons is he and Ann Na a girl enchained by Choi Yoo Jin
There is a mix o martial arts  , love , intrigues etc . The series seems as a strategy play between tycoons who fight each other to back stab .


The tuxedo by te famous Jack the Chan : a very funny Jacky story relacing a spy /killer by chance to stop a millionaire from adding some shemicals to the water tanks . very action instensive movie full of gags and much of fun!
4/5

Vantage point: a movie of shoeing the same destroy scene via multiple points of view killing  the clone of  the president and forwarding even more untll the real president was kidnapped bythe same gang but funailly .. you get what. Interesting but quite boring to resart  for more than 10 times fo showing even  in FF untilk the story unchains  in full
2/5

Terminator ‘15 : the new movie in the list , and the worst making the author feel the terror
Just a theory of ‘what if’ by twisting totally the basic concept that the son of  the woman of  80s (forgot the names !!) was the real winner agisnt the machines of the future. Now her son is the enemy while his closest frind is the  good guy. Most of the graphics are bvasd on the #2 version with the morphed cop who gets as liquid ,passes thru metals , redesigns himself or just zooms himself in volume etc bt also in a few scenes is diluted himself as a way to transpose behind the other terminator . ideas are good but the final result  is very disappointing . There is also a very funny scene watching 3 instances of the same terminator  form the previous movies! Arnold now is seen in both young and old!

Jojo rabbit (in theater )
The title is surely misleading as someone can immediately think of a children carton movie featuring on  a rabbit as main actor . The reality is totally different. The movie features a young boy of around 10 years of age who is hard core fan of Hitler having him as virtual friend who teaches and manages his life.  Suddenly he gets into a very difficult situation that maes him change totally his life and way of thinking…
This movie has many receptors: Not only the nazis, but also the bad things of  the war , the nearly similar way communists used in the next period of the time , if today there are still do very hard cored communists ,
In the other  part of the discussion you can see a very funny Hitler a very funny story context that made me laugh  for the whole movie and a strong bitterness of al the story showing a child trying to learn the secrets of thw war that fortunately he was unable to do I seen alsoa short scene of his young friend from the war school carrying a bombing system that jittered a bomb that bombed a nearby building…
A quite normalized tragic and funny movie inside the war in Germany of 40s .
The bad of the question is that  the movie was rated as U in our multiplex so permitting children to watch it. We watched it with our daughter and a mate of her aged 11   . In  imdb.com the movie weas noted as R13 though from whay I saw  cold rate it even higher (R15 at least ). The funny of it is that the mate was already knowing such cases from her family as dead people hung by rope (in a hidden way ),  twisting a rabbit (a bit hidden scene ) and some more… 
4/5 

Bad gyus 1& 2   two interesting but vey long movies played thousand times in the Greek TV bu seen in nearly from the start esp for the 2 . The 2 was about the chase of a drugs inside of dead corpses and their tries as cops to find the head person  .In the other ways they do everything into mayhem/Movies with lots of humor sometimes balck humor and very strong action  oth are rated as 3-4/5

Wolverine new mini review: Te movie is rather  poor as shwong a superhero that someone wants to get Wolverine ‘s eternity life  for his personal interest. There are several hurdles for Wolverine him untiul … very typical end as can someone expect for a hero . the question is that this time I ddint like the movie as it was rather ugly story. 2/5  

Legacy of Hercules: tis is indeed a interesting movie with possibly  little CGI . I m not very sure if it reflects the real background of the legendary Greek superhero as notced by the ancient texts of just a kind of fiction from the studios but is worth watching by the term that he resembles a bit a righteous person and the slave who won again his freedom.  

Nine lives: fun movie ! 3.5 nothing more  a story  tht can be forgotten nearly immediately  (partial watching )

The game plan: the movie sis very good with very good humor and very interesting story.  A man very selfish discovers by chance tht he is a …father by rather unknown mom. Quite tyoical story but except of entertaining has also a good message. Just watch it as it is worth! It itched my heart! 5/5

Avengers infinity wars: a movie seen form the start but made me inally stop watching it in less than the half . The reason : tit was rather idiot scenario stupid graphics and some irrational points as like the case of the eye entered inside the man’s face. This was the climax of idiocy that still can remember many days after watching it. Also some talks that made me crazy. I then preferred to change TV channel to watch transformers 5 which was  much better

Transformers 5 The Last Knight: surely a very good movie. Seen that after stoping abruptly the above movie.  More ‘reality wise’ than the totally garbage Avenger story, with a story that sould story the humanity  from Quintessa. Interesting full action  movie with the Lego technology background There are many goofs that I will not discuss them here
All movies above were only watched while I was listening to some great music in my mp3
