This film, constitutes the absolute surrealist masterpiece of all seasons. With unique virtuosity, Bunuel shows how easily a person makes his bonds and limits his freedom. Who are however these persons? They are those that made fortune without have worked never in their life or those, that with illegal ways acquired power and money. Naturally the one that puts unreal bonds in all the persons, with a view to check and dominate them, is the Church. The director accuse the high society and the Church and puts them to live as simple persons and they make things that they would never make. In this masterpiece Bunuel points out also the corruptness that exists in the society, which emanates from the Church and has expanded everywhere. It is not simply a film, it is a sociological approach of corrupted modern person.

Pure propaganda.
17 December 2006
The movie 'Gung Ho!': The Story of Carlson's Makin Island Raiders was made in 1943 with a view to go up the moral of American people at the duration of second world war. It shows with the better way that the cinema can constitute body of propaganda. The value of this film is only collection and no artistic. In a film of propaganda it is useless to judge direction and actors. Watch that movie if you are interested to learn how propaganda functions in the movies or if you are a big fun of Robert Mitchum who has a small role in the film. If you want to see a film for the second world war, they exist much better and objective. I rated it 4/10.
Aristotelis, o aristos
(1999– )
Not bad.
2 September 2006
Aristotelis o aristos is not one of the best TV series of The great Yannis Bezos. It is a little funny, not at any chance as good as "Ekeines kai ego" or "Akros Oikogeneiakon". The actors are good. First of all Yannis Bezos is great as always. The girls(Kouroupi,Moumouri,Palikaraki,Nalbanti) are good and hot. The music that the rocker Yannis Miliokas wrote is OK, too. So the problem is the script. It is not so powerful and it only has some few good and really funny moments. If you want to watch some Bezos' works choose something else like "Ekeines Kai ego". I rated 6. Fortunatelly after that Bezos has made the masterpiece "Akros Oikogeneiakon".

Karen Lancaume: The legend!
30 July 2006
A very good adult movie. It's an opportunity to see in the same film four women legends of the adult industry. The late french superstar of Baise-moi Karen Lancaume alongside with the most beautiful girl of Germany Dry Berrymore, the goddess of Hungary Nikki Anderson and Daniella Rush from Chech Republic. If you watch this movie you will understand why European adult movies are better than the American. The girls are more beautiful, so the story and the director. This one is a French production by the best European producer Marc Dorcel. Have a try on this and discover why Karen Lancaume was and will be a true legend in adult industry.I gave 8/10.
Apistefta ki omos ellinika
(1990–1992)
The best of Zouganelis-Boulas team
19 October 2005
Yannis Zouganelis and Sakis Boulas are two of the most talented people in the Greek show business.They both are singers,actors,composers,writers.From the eighties until 2000 they had created lots of sitcoms like this one.Apistefta ki omos ellinika was their first work for the Greek private TV.The show was very funny,the script very good and Zouganelis-Boulas were just great.The participation of Helene Gerassimidou,on of the best Greek women comedian.was a great advantage for Apistefta ki omos ellinika.The soundtrack was also a big hit.The song of the titles was sang from Yannis Zouganelis himself.After the show was ended,never again Zouganelis has made a such a good one as this.
Akros oikogeneiakon
(2001–2003)
Good comedy for all the family
14 October 2005
Petros Theotokatos is a lawyer and he also has a big family:His beautiful wife Margarita,two sons Ermis and Aris,two daughters,a mother,an aunt and the female cousin of his wife.There are also some other people in his life,like his best friend Elias and his secretary.Theotokatos tries to have a balance in his family and also tries to be a big lawyer.Yannis Bezos is great in the role of Petros Theotokatos and he continues the tradition of great performances after Yannis in Aparadektoi ,Sminarhos Kakalos and of course Zahos Doganos!Natalia Tsaliki i think is in the best role of her career as Margarita Petridou Theotokatou.This sitcom is for all the family.I would rate it 9/10.
Good comedy
23 September 2005
Androklis (Kostas Voutsas) is a middle aged man who lives alone with his children.When a beautiful woman (Martha Karagianni) moves next to him,Androklis falls in love with her.A lot of funny situations occur and generally this TV series follows the successfully formula of the Greek comedies of the 60s and the early 70s.Also,both Voutsas and Karagianni are coming from the glory of this decades.In the role of Androklis children we saw Pavlos Haekalis, Dimitris Fragioglou, Kostas Evripiotis,all they will be stars in the 90s.Nena Menti also starring.Androklis kai ta liontaria tou was very popular in Greek TV.Maybe it was the last great moment for one of the major actors in Greece Kostas Voutsas.
Oi andres den yparhoun pia
(1998– )
Nothing special
9 September 2005
Andres den yparhoun pia, Oi (1998) was a TV-series that started with lots of ambitions due to the very good cast that it had.Sofianos in his first attempt to comedy, the veteran of the comedy Valavanidis and the good actor Skiadaressis.And the girls?This TV-series had five of the most beautiful girls of Greek TV.First of all the superstar of the Greek TV Gogo Mastrokosta,Katerina Lehou in her first attempt to comedy,the sweet Lila Kafantari,Balaoura and Anna Michaelou.There is also the famous comedian Gerassimidou Helene.So what was wrong and the sitcom never ends the season?The script was not very good, there were many stars and no chemistry between them.We won't never miss this TV-series!
Anatolikos anemos
(1992–1993)
Only an all star cast.
25 July 2005
Anatolikos anemos is a TV-series that has a perfect cast.It has the greatest Greek actors and actresses.But because of this reason we expected something better than that.The story isn't interesting and it isn't something that we have never seen again.It is pity to have fifteen great stars and don't know what to do with them.The legends of Greek cinema Dimitris Papamichael,Stefanos Stratigos,Yannis Voglis and Nikos Galanos are in the worst selection of their career.Tzovanna Fragouli, Ketty Papanika and Eleftheria Rigou they show us their beauty but not really act.Only Manthopoulos, Gletsos and Sofianos benefit from this TV-series because they have the opportunity to play with legends in the beginning of their career.
I altana tis Pargas
(1990– )
A historical masterpiece
25 July 2005
Altana tis pargas, I is a TV-series about the Greek revolution of 1821 against the Turks.The TV-series shows the truth about the cruelties of Turks and how much the Greeks suffered for four hundred years.From 1453 until 1821.Dimitris Papamichael gives a great performance as the Turk Ali-passas.Alexandra Ladikou is also great as Altana.Geli Gavriil on of the most beautiful Greek actress is in her only good role in her poor career.Efi Mouriki, Anna Kouri are good as always.I wonder where are two others stars of this TV-series.The gorgeous Maria Tsakalidou and Mania Tehritzoglou (they both played in Lampsi but after that?).The direction and the script of Costas Asimakopoulos are great!The song in the opening titles which sings Glikeria bis excellent.
Ah kai na 'xeres
(2002– )
Very nice black comedy.
25 July 2005
Ah kai na xeres is the first work of the dark director Panos Kokinopoulos that it isn't thriller and horror.It is a very nice comedy that meets crime.Two policemen tries to arrest the notorious boss of the organized crime Stelios Yaryabikas.The cast is very good fool of stars of Greek TV and cinema.Markoulakis and Gennatas are good in the role of the two policeman but Yorgos Yannopoulos shines in the role of Yaryabikas.In this TV-series you have also the opportunity to admire three gorgeous girls..Smaragda Karidi,Noni Dounia and the most sweet girl of Greek TV Panayiota Vlanti.Don't miss the scene in the beach in which Panayiota Vlanti appears completely nude!
I alepou kai o boufos
(1987–1988)
Classical Giorgos Konstadinou
25 July 2005
Giorgos Konstadinou is a living legend of Greek TV.He made lots of TV-series and he was pioneer in comedy in Greek TV.I alepou kai o boufos was one of his best!It was very funny and maybe cult!Giorgos Konstadinou holds the major role and has for leading lady the beautiful young blond girl Tzovanna Fragouli.The chemistry between them is unique.That's why they cooperate again and again in the future.Dina Konsta and Kostas Palios are very good but the character that plays Markos Lezes is really cult!Markos Lezes is in his major role in his poor career in the TV.He is very funny.It is pity that Giorgos Konstadinou don't make any more good TV-series.
Ah! Eleni
(1992– )
Good but outstripped
25 July 2005
Ah, Eleni is one of the first comedies that Eleni Randou starring.It was funny in 1992 but i don't think it worth to watch it today.The only reason to watch it again is to see some famous singers as guests:Vassilis Papakonstantinou,Yannis Parios,Dimitris Mitropanos,Yannis Zouganelis.The stars of the sitcom Randou,Antonopoulos,Georgiadou are very good.But Hrisa Ropa is too young to play Eleni's grandma!They have the same age!The music is excellent and the direction of Kakleas gives a rock spirit in the whole sitcom.The most important is that when you watch Ah, Eleni you think that you are in the years of innocence of Greek TV.
Oi afthairetoi
(1989–1991)
Dimitris Poulikakos at his best!
12 November 2003
"Aftheretoi" was the first tv-serie of Mega Channel.Back in the 1990 we watch the life of two families who hates each other.That's exactly what happened in Greece during the '90s between the two big politician parts. The one family is the family of Dimitris Poulikakos and the other is the family of Christos Valavanidis.The story was written by Vassilis Nemeas and it is very good.But the part that makes "Aftheretoi" an all time classic is the outstanding performing of Dimitris Poulikakos.Poulikakos is in his best role of his career.Until then Poulikakos was a well known rock singer although he had starred in lots of movies.After "Aftheretoi" everyone knows him as an actor,too. The other actors gave their best,too.Natassa Tsakarisianou and Vasia Trifylli never made something so important in their poor career(although Tsakarisianou is a good actress).Valavanidis is one of the best greek actors in our days.Themis Manessis plays Babis one of the best characters ever in greek tv. Finally in "Aftheretoi" made their first appearance some of the major stars of greek cinema and tv.Among them are:Renia Louizidou,Petros Fillipidis,Vana Partheniadou and of course Issavella Vlassiadou as Dolores.
A great documentary
17 December 2001
A great documentary for the ancient Greeks.The history of the people who gave democracy and culture to all the world.Liam Neeson narrate how was the life of the most clever people in the world:Greeks.It is very interesting to know how Greeks create democracy and this film gives us the chance.Every people who wants to learn about the beginning of the history must see this documentary.Do not forget that Greeks are the oldest nation in the entire world!
100 Years of Olympic Glory
(1996 TV Movie)
A nice try!
17 December 2001
100 Years of Olympic Glory (1996) (TV) is a good documentary for the history of modern olympic games.There are several of unforgettable moments of the olumpic games.I suggest this movie to the collectors of great moments of games.I rated 10!
The A-Team
(1983–1987)
The best adventure tv-serie of the '80s
22 August 2001
"A-team"is one of the best tv-series ever.Four veterans of Vietnam war are wrongfully accused and now they are outlaws.Peppard is very good in his role.He plays Hannibal,the leader of the four.I think is the best role of Peppard!But Mr.T as B.A is also outstanding."A_team"is not only adventure and crime.It has also comedy and sometimes romance.If you like "MacGyver" you are going to love "A-Team".Also if you are fun of Robert Vaughn you must see "A-Team" because Vaughn plays general Stockwell.A mysterious person who is a friend and an enemy of the four veterans.
The worst part of North and South!
17 August 2001
Is there anyone,who could tell me why they created a third part of North and South?The previous two parts are masterpieces!This part is for the recycle bin.Bent kills almost everyone!And G.Hazard takes Orry's wife!It's awful.So,the story of North and South takes an end which noone of its fun wanted.Shame!I rated it 2.
