Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine (2015)
Fraud
Even i really like Steve Jobs (as a professional who changed the computer industry) i don't have any problem discussing or listening to the other side which criticizes him.
But using the Title. "Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine" and quote Brilliant-Brave-Brutal (2 positive words and one negative-if it is) to make a film that more or less Access Steve Jobs for almost every bad thing in this world (from parking to pollution in china!) , is at least misleading. Director (this is the first of his films i watched ) has serious issues not only for misleading people for attention like this, but also for presenting people who like jobs work as stupid.
The Matrix Resurrections (2021)
A pathetic try..
Leaving the theater, after watching Matrix Resurrections made me moan for the lost time (especially the extra 10 minutes for this ridiculous post credit scene).
The movie lacked originality ... completely. Matrix Resurrections is nothing more than a stuck of scenes, where the director tries (but fails miserably) to copy techiches and even complete scenes from the Old Matrix, Marvel films (in-jokes) and Nolan's films (epic music action scenes).
The story is also as bad as it gets, not only full of holes (like the other 2 sequels) but also without any surprise or intrest.
Avoid at all cost.
The Savage Peace (2015)
Propaganda rises
This is a bad attempt to re-write history. This film compares the prisoners and the victims of German troops ,captured invading other lands, and innocent citizens who who where killed or captured from their home by Germans. It is not just referring to a specific period but the film literally presents Germans as the victim of the W.W.2 (and why not ww1 since Germany started this one too)
Homeland (2011)
Great potential but the main hero ruins it.
After watching the series for seven season my emotions are mixed. Some Seasons were very good (01,04,05) and some completely trash (03,07). But i think this hole thing could do much much better if main hero wasn't such a joke.
We are talking about a highly trained and highly skilled C.I.A. agent (Claire Danes) who firstly is bipolic (obviously this is an extreme no-go for a field agent). Then there is the crying thing. Seriously, Claire Danes cries at almost all of these episodes. She cries all the time, when someone dies, when someone gets injured, she cries on every unpleasant situation and i really don't think this actually fits in a top field CIA agent.
Then whenever she manages to accomplish something is because she sleeps with some guy! No kidding, Claire Danes sleeps with more than 10 men in this series and flirts with dosins! And despite she is not even pretty, every man in this world seems to be willing to betray his country, his religion, his partners, his cover (regardless of how well trained he is) just to f.. her.
It's a shame because this parody character leaves in a very interesting and well built world.
The Last Castle (2001)
Totatly don;t get it
OK! Am i the only one who does not understand the plot here. I watched a movie where some prisoners want the prison commander (military prison), to resign from his position just because he does not tolerate to break every single prison rule! When the commanders refuse to resign the the prisoners guided by an ex-sargend or something, star a riot with Molotovs and catapults and while the guards are defending the prison with water pipes and plastic bullets. At the end and after the prisioners have almost destroyed all the structure, the prison guards suddenly refuse to obey the commanders' orders (don't know why). This plot really confused me
It Comes at Night (2017)
Neither a horror nor a drama...
The trailer is totally misinterpreting! (the trailer clearly prepares you for a horror movie. This is not since there is no scary parts or something. NOTHING at all happens in this movie. So if you are for a horror movie you will waste your money If you are for a drama... you will also waste your money and time since this is a sum of RANDOM reactions from the characters. They react controversial and even though the movie spends so many time(almost all the movie) to present the characters in the end you don't seem to know anything about them. DO NOT listen to good reviews.. this movie delivers Nothing to yo
Arrival (2016)
Interstellar..with luck of originality and basic science.
Well i am getting tiered of scripts confusing aliens, space , time travel , humanity, physics and death all mixed up with zero scientific ground. Truly , the "God theory" start sounds less crazy after this movie...
The movie just takes the themes that humanity haven't understand well enough yet (like the future and aliens) and takes advantage of the viewers who seem really desperate to here anything about those things. Now in this movie the huge scientific gaps really bothers me because the movie doesn't appear to us like "Star Wars" or "Independence day" . In those movies you HAVE to accept that this is how the director imagined things and go on enjoy the battles etc. I really do not know how you can enjoy this movie if you are not totally unfamiliar with terms like "gravity" , "government" , "communication"
***spoiler alert***
-A Luntenent!!!!! Is in charge of all the US operation in the base where an alien ship has arrived. Him and a CIA agent!!! OK .. really?
-One day some "hotheads" try to blow up the spaceship putting C4 on it. Just some rebel solder. Just like there is NO WAY to approach the us embassy in Greece, some solders approached and detonated charges in the UFO.
-To enter the ship you have to skip gravity... Just like that. They jumped and gravity just turned. Like gravity is optional.
-The alien ship opened the gates every 8 hours. Like the shopping mall security guy. They know that we are working 8hr shift right? Not every 389 minutes or something!
-A translator managed to understand an alien language (witch was totally different for every human language and actually PREDICTS the future) when 17 symbols for the first Greek alphabet has not been understood yet..
-the physics guywho was one of the few men in earth who had everyday contact with20meter tall 7foot aliens every day sates at the end of the movie that the most important thing wasn't "them" (the aliens) but meeting you(the translator). OK I almost cried out there.
Short Fuse (2016)
Good try
OK. The plot is far from original. The idea-plot-dialog-photography was inspired SO MUCH from Saw movies! Sometimes so much that the dialog sounded like it was original scripted in English and then translated (if you speak Greek you will sound funny dialog not used in Greece but if you are watching this with subs I guess it will be OK). Despite that, the scenario was interesting enough, there was action and fun and I think the creators accomplished their mission and made a fine movie (for a non Hollywood one) The characters was also very inserting except from the main one. The main actor was short of talent and ruined the most of the scenes with unrealistic speech (like radio commercial actor) and movement. Good movie. Liked it better than a lot Hollywood high budget bad movies!
Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (2014)
Not original
The film is about an actor who's is popular because of some comic movies who made back in 1992 , and since then hi is then he is trying to make an "artist" name out of him playing in a Broadway theater. The casting is very clever because Michael Keaton is used ( an actor who played Batman in 1992, and except that role he is unknown to the public). This is very smart but not that original , since Darren Aronofsky has made the same thing in "The Wrestler" when he used Mickey Rourke to play a almost forgotten wrestler. If you see the movies you will realize lots of commons in the plot, the artwork etc, the symbolism etc The movie succeeds in make you emotional for the main character but I think that there is lots of wordy characters with problems quite irrelevant from the main plot. This film is worthy watching but not something great and original.
Looper (2012)
Good film..based on a questionable Script
OK.. in the year 2074, mob can't get rid of a body if they want to kill someone. They can't because of the advanced technology,police can find the body and then find the mob(film does not give us much details about it). They can't hide a body but ... they can have a time travel machine!, so they send the person they want to kill 30years back in time where an associate of those awaits and kills him... The film says that in the future you cant kill and burn someone.. it is easier to buy and keep a time travel machine which is a size of a small room. the police will find the body but not your lab. And if you got such a technology like time travel machine ... and you ARE a mobster you will not travel in time to earn money from robbing or booking or money exchange but you will use it to transfer ready to die people... come on!
Serbuan maut (2011)
i've better watch Power Rangers! Total waste!
Leon, Golden eye, Matrix, Kill Bill..those was great action movies. This one is a real waste of time. No plot. No dialogs. Only unrealistic - power rangers stile - karate scenes. **No real spoilers there since there is no plot but just to be sure..** A SWAT team (which is totally unprofessional ,feels nothing about tactics, have no radio communication, NO equipment (flash grenades ,night vision,shields etc) but they seem every last one of them is karate specialist and can handle pretty well an axe and a sword) enters a building (unknown reason) which is full of thugs (about 200 people , every one of them it seems to be a karate specialist or something and every one is more than happy to kill himshelf attacking a swat team with a knife or a sword ) and then a masicure comes. 30 minutes of gunfight (every thug in the building has his own assault rifle ) and for the next one hour no one seems to has firepower (not even the police) and uses his fighting skills and axes and knifes and swords to fight. That's all. Nothing more in this move.
The Devil Inside (2012)
Not THAT bad
OK...i do not often go to see a movie that takes such a low rank from IMDb. I saw Devil inside yesterday... 3.6? i mean ..you are nor serous. Blackwater Valley Exorcism ( a total parody) takes 3.6. This movie deserves better. It is not a great movie. Do not expect to see anything new. It's like a combo of "The Rite" and "The Last Exorcism" . But i don't have problems to see same thing in such matters. I mean when i watch a movie with zombies i expect to see dead mean walking slow with their hands in front, and when i watch a movie with vampires i expect people drinking blood to survive. What do you expect in an exorcism movie? Twisted ankles and bad male voice coming from a girl and furniture moving. That's what you get .. fair deal for me. So it is a 6. Not a very good movie but much better from "The woman in black" i say last. The truth is i don;t remember when was the last time i saw a really good horror movie..
Scream 4 (2011)
Totally waste of my time..
I saw scream 1,2 and 3 at my teenage years. I thought of them as quite good scary movies back then.. Well if I was a director, and 11 years ago made some good scary moves, and suddenly thought about making a sequel,i wouldn't realize it if I didn't know I had not something new to say. The move was totally crap. I am actually looked to me more like an other scream parody than a real horror film. Totally silly ,80's ,B move quotes like "You hang up on me and I'll cut through your neck until I feel bone! ","Well, it's time for someone new to die " The casting? Worse.. not a surprise those scream is the best movie those actors played. And David Arquett.. omg, he was really funny!
The Midnight Meat Train (2008)
as bad as it gets..
I am really surprised that this movie get a ranking like this! I haven't seen such a bad movie for years.Omg this was a really bad movie. Splatter, is not enough to describe the unnecessary (nearly funny) blood scenes). If you didn't like hostel2 or Wolf Creek or Halloween (2007) ..well this is 10 time worse. The story remind me RL Stine goosebumps.!
I can't tell about the acting since the script was so terrible.Cliché all the time. (why i must write 10lines? i never understood this.)
==Here comes spoilers==
The story is about a butcher killing people all the time in metro. We are talking about thousands of killings and no one gets notice. Actually those people are just missing. And There is the good guy that tries to solve the mystery (well there is no mystery for us because we know from the beginning the bad guy) and as usual no one believes him! what a surprise! In the end he puts butcher clothes and fights to death with the killer butcher!
To kako (2005)
Oh my god!
I Saw the 6.9 rank of this movie and... Oh my god. Fortunately there is only 50 or so votes that means that there is the cast of the movie who voted! The movie was Really bad. There was a premier in a big cinema in Athens one day before the official date in cinemas and i booked 2 tickets. The hole crowd were laughing... I tell you just one scene where the team Hunted by zombies is going to a house for the night! So two members come to bed together and the boy start leaking the girl at her toes. Then a zombie comes knock down the boy (the girl were enjoying with her eyes closed) and started licking the girls toes for a little time when it Bytes her toes and she starts screaming because she thoughts that there was the boy licking her. Any way DO NOT SEE THES MOVIE
