Weaving. Enough said. 3 out of 10 stars and I am being generous. Oh I need 150 characters? OK. BAD Script. Silly male lead. If you want to see something go watch the 2006 original French film.

Ambulance
(2022)
Way too long.
3 May 2022
This feels like you hire the best symphonic orchestra of the world in order to execute a TV jingle.
The plot is nonexistent and extremely childish .
The action sequences are typical Bay which is not a bad thing in my opinion but cannot save this complete mess .
Finally this is WAY too long . It could have been a nice 100 min popcorn-action film and no one would be any wiser.
6/10.

Tenet
(2020)
I want to invert myself
15 May 2021
I desperetly want to invert myself, go back 2 and a half hours and watch another movie.
I mean I thought Inception was bad, now I have to reconsider.
Tenet, as Inception, are visually stunning films who try to cover their idiotic plot with music and sound effects.
This film is not complicated at all, it is a fantasy film based on the simple concept that someone can move forward or backwards in time. It's basically a time travel film but instead of disappearing from a specific point in time and reappearing at another, you just have to invert your self so that time goes backwards for you and then reinvert yourself and voila you have traveled back in time.
So this is just a scifi film in which time is linear and it can be possible to just change the direction of its flow.
Interstallar, that was a good movie, a 5 dimensional concept with non linear time and space concepts.
Having said that I still think that Nolan's best film to date is Memento.

Let's wrap everything up with an idiotic ending
9 April 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Honest review from a hard core scifi fan.
Season 1 was pretty good Season 2 was good Season 3 was an idiotic mess . I mean were the writers having a stroke while writing it?
Far too many characters introduced .
Far too many plots , timelines , 3 universes .
Nothing made sense , it was way too exhausting to follow all the timelines . Nothing really was happening but having characters running around and spitting those idiotic one liners .It was like the producers were lost and were mocking us .
It was so far fetched and idiotic but i thought " ok if they wrap everything up with a clever sort of wow way then it wouldn't be a waste of time".
Oh was i wrong or what ?
The writers finished that cliche festival with a one-time-event ridiculous explanation that makes all the 3 seasons unnecessary.
Shame on you for trying to milk this money cow , you didn't respect the viewers and as far as i am concerned i am really mad about it .
Physical violence is not the answer whatever the question but for you i would make an exception and slap you silly!

Haters gonna hate
14 January 2021
To all you haters who read the book and/or are fans of the 90s version : WE DON'T CARE!
This is a pretty solid show , with great visuals and boxing style edit (present-past-present).
Stop whining about the flashbacks , I bet you loved it when it was used in shows like Lost etc.
All and all this is a nice show and I am enjoying it quite a bit!

Get your stories straight
16 November 2020
This is a very disappointing effort , the story is good yes but that is about it .
If you want to just tell a story write a freaking book .
If you want to make a tv show in par with Band of brothers then spend the money and make it .
If you don't have the budget then wait till you have it or do something else.
You cannot compare this with other great shows this is a poor man's war tv show and cannot get more thatn 5 stars from me !

Excellent film with a minor glitch...
3 November 2019
The film is fantastic, if only Patisson wasn't in it, that would be great. The man is an awful actor, very bad choice from the casting stuff on an otherwise solid and entertaining film. Almost 2 and a half hours literally fly because of the film's substance and entertainment value. Solid 8 out of 10 for me.
The Nanny
(2003–2005)
A nice effort but lucks in the way...
21 September 2004
Dada is basically the hellenic version of the famous "Nanny, The" (1993)
[TV-Series 1993-1999]. The producers and the actors have done their best and i hear that it's gonna be go on for a second year here in Hellas but... there is always a "but" the Greek version of this so nice American TV-series lucks in so many domains... for example no "spark" between the actors who are not really do a nice job in giving their roles....only the battler stands up on our expectations... and i don't know even though the script is the same one as the American version somewhere between that and the Greek one the whole spirit and the whole idea looses it's first appeal! To sum up a not so good production that does not come even close to the original!

The sad story of a "misfit" . . .
4 June 2004
This movie was not so much promoted here in Greece,even though it got good actors , great script and rather good photograph was not a so called "blockbuster" movie in my Country. The movie itself is very powerful,it's about the hard time that a newcomer had to go through when he returns in his home-village after been released from a 5yo prison time(drugs) The end is rather sad.... Mourikis is trying to keep up with his part and he handles it pretty well... Lambropoulou is great and very sexy in a strange way and of course Hatzisavvas is for one more time close to excellency... 7 out of 10 because very few Greek movies can make such an impression!
Kleise ta matia
(2003–2004)
A cult TV-Series ? Guess again!
17 May 2004
A romantic mess-up,Cheep copy of "24" series (split screen directing method) a misleading script and POOR ACTING and above all an awful end!If that is the level of our TV in Greece i must really think about a satellite dish...at least with satellite you can watch foreign craps but THE ORIGINAL craps not a silly copy of them!
To Be Continued... ps:who knows maybe after all this mess up was not a dream and Fillipos is gonna wake up from the deads and write the "Kleise ta matia 4:The return of the vampire" ! Papakaliati give us a break dude!

Lost in Translation
(2003)
A truly fascinating "platonic' Love...
28 April 2004
*note:I would like you to forgive me for my rather bag English but being a Greek guy my English is not my mother language.
Murray gets to do what he does best in Sofia Coppola's 'Lost in Translation', where he plays Bob Harris, a washed-up Hollywood actor who is in Japan filming a celebrity endorsement for a brand of whisky, in part because he needs the work, in part to escape the suffocating humdrum of his 25-year marriage to Lydia. Bob is staying in the same Tokyo hotel as Charlotte (Scarlett Johansson), a young ex-student of philosophy who is unsure what to do with her life or whether she has done the right thing in marrying photographer John (Giovanni Ribisi). Unable to sleep in the wee hours of the morning, Charlotte meets Bob in the hotel bar, and their shared dissatisfaction and anxiety quickly becomes the basis of an intense friendship. Charlotte makes Bob feel younger, Bob makes Charlotte feel appreciated, and in an alien environment, at a time of personal crisis, the pair discovers mutual understanding and comfort - until the week is over and it is time to resume their everyday lives.
'Lost in Translation' is about two people who have lost their way, and a brief encounter in the unlikeliest of places which helps them both find their bearings and get back on track. Governed by minute observations of character rather than sweeping events, the film first offers a wry series of parallel vignettes which show Bob and Charlotte in situations where communications have broken down - Bob struggling to comprehend his Japanese handlers and director, Charlotte failing to connect with her husband. It is a good half an hour before a single word is exchanged between Bob and Charlotte, but that moment marks the first meaningful communication that either has had in Japan. From then on they become constant companions, like a couple of intimate lovers, overcoming their alienation and incomprehension precisely by sharing their experience of them.
Bob and Charlotte's slow-burning relationship is evoked with humour and tenderness by Murray and Johansson, whose on-screen rapport, despite the difference in their age, is tangible. Lance Acord's cinematography transforms Tokyo into a strange wonderland, as far from Hollywood as Coppola's contemplative, uncluttered script, which allows its two central characters to develop at a leisurely pace, and ends not with a bang, but a whisper. Coppola's contempt for Hollywood sensibilities is reflected in her satirical treatment of Kelly (Anna Faris), a loud, vapid starlet visiting Japan to promote her latest blockbuster, 'Midnight Velocity' (starring Keanu, naturally).
Seeing Bob and Charlotte's lives changed in 'Lost in Translation' may not exactly change yours too, but it is a smart, stylish portrait of a romance that never quite happens.
