Gloria Bell (2018)
7/10
Better than the original
15 April 2024
Warning: Spoilers
While I enjoyed watching this one, I can't say the same about the original, which I saw after watching this american version .

The actors are too normal to enjoy watching on screen, especially the man so old and miserable. I can't wait for Gloria to dumb him at the end.

Gloria herself is not at all glamorous. Nice Spanish soundtrack by the way it's a change from the 70s disco songs that we heard in the American version.

It was really a surprise how the script didn't change from one movie to the other. Every single detail is repeating again and again. I'm giving this a seven and a two to the original. That's how much it deserves. I really didn't enjoy watching it at all. They did a good thing to remake it.

Catwalk (1995)
7/10
A good depiction of an era in fashion
29 March 2024
Warning: Spoilers
But thats about all you will get from this video . I wont even call it a film. The models are not likeable at all despite how good they look. Do they have somethiing important to say? NO Are they likable . NOOOO The designers also . Fashion is not art and this video doES nothing to proove this wrong.

Of course it is a feast to the eyes with so many perfect looking women. Instead though of watching this try to find the Peter Lindberg film with the about the same models wondering the streets of New York. Or even better find Robert Altmans pret a porter. You can find this film(catwalk) on youtube and watch it for free but dont expect too much. Finishing up I would like to mention the nice music playing from start to finish. Its one track repeating over amd over but its quite good.

Lost Girls (2020)
8/10
Only part of the stories of the lost girls and soncs then the killer has been captured
25 March 2024
I have been following the story as i used to live in the area where the murders took place.

A horrific and sad story told very well by the book(one of my favourite true crime books i ever read) Similarly the movie follows the same motive but we only Get to see one of the 5 girls stories, having in mind that something like that would be impossible in 2 hours. Shannon and her family, her mother and sister eventually become the protagonists and they manage to impresswith their performances: Amy Ryan and Thomasi Mcenzie.

Since then the killer has been captured and if you want to follow the story there is a lot to watch on youtube. From 48 hours videos featuring the story from the beginning, episodes of 60 minutes Australia featuring the Lisk(long island serial killer to internet sluths trying to figure out who has done it and connect the killings to other serial killers in other states and areas.

In general though lost girls is the most serious representation of this case and a very good movie in general. I gave it an 8 because after reading the book i was expecting much more but i overly satisfied how the story was treated.

Spin Me Round (2022)
10/10
Underated Farce
9 February 2024
Warning: Spoilers
I was really surprised with the low rating. So i am Giving it a 10 so it comes up a bit because it worths it since is totally underated.

I really enjoyed this movie. It was funny well acted with the right twists... not to mention that my favorite female protagonist are both in it.

I also really enjoyed the soundrack of this film.

A lot of people don't get the point this is a farce and is supposed to not be taken seriously.

Plaza s movies are all A rating.

Alisson Bree is reprising her Glow character. I really enjoyed the lir lesbian affair ... The plot of this movie was like life itself to me unexpected.

The Holdovers (2023)
10/10
great movie
18 December 2023
I really enjoyed watching this a few days before Christmas. I wish I did it at the cinema though because this is how good this film is.

GreatGreat direction, acting from both the leads. Paul Giamatti amazing as always. The boy just cool, i think he could be the next big thing. He s got the look (and the talent too.).

The early 70s mood gives this a retro feel but the values that it proposes is what makes it an instant classic. Unmissable i gave it a 10. I am really rooting for this film To win at the oscars . I guess it will be ignored though. Oh my god i am trying to fill the required ch4 3 2 1 .....

Fatale (II) (2020)
4/10
Guilty pleasure but so bad
15 November 2022
Warning: Spoilers
How can Hillary swank star into this garbage I'm still wondering. It was entertaining watching her perform this basic instinct character inspired by strangers on a train plot. But seriously can a movie get more predictable and cheesy?

There are some nice Shots here and there But overall it feels like a bad movie that wastes your time if you pick to watch this on Netflix late at night.

The movie was so bad that I can't find any more words to fill in the required characters . Especially the plot with the wife and the affair she has with their best friend oh my God this is such a spoiler yes I know my review is now ready to post. Just don't watch this pick something else I'm sure it would worth it more.

Seinfeld: The Pothole (1997)
Season 8, Episode 16
8/10
Worst episode ever
24 April 2022
Probably the most annoying episode ever on Seinfeild I can't understand why the high rating. None of the plots work. Overexaggerate it and trying to hard something very rare for this show.

Seinfeld: The Raincoats (1994)
Season 5, Episode 18
6/10
First time I dont it 100%
13 March 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I have been re-watching this on Netflix. I really enjoyed how the characters were building up to this but here is my problem: I feel like some of the comedy with Kramee and the parents didnt really work that well on this one. Would really just somebody walk out of a Paris trip just to sell some raincoats in New York? And then we never get an explanation about Elaines boyfriend being so weird with the Seinfeilds. Don't get me wrong I love this sitcom. I think it's a good example of brilliant script writing and how it composes all the litle sub plots and jokes together at the end. I just feel like this is the point where it started to repeat itself. I don't remember much of what happens next but I hope it gets better.

Newmans character... so funny on this one.

Manhunt (2019–2021)
9/10
Excellent true crime
8 February 2022
I was looking for a show like this for a while now. It focuses on modern directive work rather than than anything else than most shows do.

Is Like watching the show crimewatch but instead this is a tv show with a script. I will watch It again and again. One of my favorite shows ever.

Emily in Paris: Emily in Paris (2020)
Season 1, Episode 1
8/10
better than what i expected
4 December 2021
To be honest I was seing this on Netflix for a year now and never started it because I thought it would be dull and superficial.

Today I just saw the first episode and I am hooked.

I have no idea what Emily's job is in paris. Supposedly she's there with some social media strategies Or is she the boss? The french people at the office calle her the hick. In the meantime she's running around paris looking for a boyfriend while she is video calling or having cybersex with Her boyfriend in Chicago.

I got much Sex and the City vibes from Emily's fashion looks and by the male "model"-actors running around the movie- There were 3 of them on episode 1. Wait a minute , They were written by the same person Darren Star. This guy knows how to entertain.

You (2018–2024)
9/10
highly addictive
12 January 2021
Someone suggested to me in the previous quarantine to see You. But I did not see it because it seemed (and is) mainstream, perverted and pulled to the extremes. As well as I do not see Crime series unless it is True Crime because as it is known reality is far beyond imagination. But starting it I realized that it has some virtues that make it addictive ... eg the fact that a large part of it has to do with books and authors. Or the fact that she has many characters that we have never seen in movies or series: the mediocre girlfriend who, because she shows her ass, gets 300,000 followers on Instagram, the frenemies or the stalkers from our immediate environment

Rebecca (I) (2020)
4/10
Boring remake
8 January 2021
Rebecca is not only boring is also Long. It shure can make entertainment for a boring tv movie. A waste of money. I am still wondering whose idea was it to remake a succesfull Hitchcock movie. And Christin Scot Thomas should have by now be making smarter choices for roles.

A good one
14 April 2020
This surprised me. It shows how many things you can say with just a camera and some actors. The two ladies were great and had a great chemistry between them and the music and songs was mesmerizing. Finally an American film that looks like made in Europe.

Human Capital (2019)
5/10
Dont bother watching unless you havw nothing else to do
14 April 2020
This movie started quite well but in the process I got so bored of it then I come here in the comment section and see that the people who worked on the film Advil did it so it gets a high rating. Marisa Tomei what a disappointment, Umas aand Ethan Hauks daughter is pretty. Probably the best think about this film is the timeline going back and forth, it could really work but not tbis time.

Best Documentary on Nielsen
31 January 2020
After watching almost Everything about Nielsen on YouTube this is probably the best documentary about him. The documentary also includes footage shot by Nielsen himself as he was an avid photographer and videographer. One of the most touching parts of the documentary is watching Nielsens female dog. Nielsen was actually worried after he was captured about the fate of his dog which was eventually put to sleep.

Rage (I) (2009)
1/10
a film experiment gone wrong
12 January 2010
The blue screens combine well with the characters lipstick colours , the performances at some points are really good but halfway through this movie i just couldn't wait for it to finish. I actually watched it on fast forward. For one thing you cant have a movie on people just talking in front of the camera. Its just hard to believe that this were done by a teenager. And those questions that coming straight from a fashion experts mouth were really hard to buy. Coming from the same person that made "Orlando" i was deeply disappointed since i was expecting much more. The aesthetic result is quite good but nothing more than that. This is one of my favourite worst movies ever. This is a film experiment but it just doenst work. Leave it for film schools or even museums but i wouldn't recommend this as entertainment

Tsiou... (2005)
10/10
one of the best Greek films of the last years
4 May 2009
Tsiou is a comedy that gains more and more admirers through the years especially among people of younger ages. The film manages to capture the atmosphere of an abandoned Athens in the middle of august. A circle of misconceptions starts when a junkie is looking for his heroin dose in the abandoned city. This is one of the few times that you get to see in film how the real Athens looks like not only in the areas cleaned up for the 2004 Olympics(in order to show to the outside world the new clean look of the city). Îts a glimpse on Omonoia square and the area around it, and of course the junkies that live in these places. Beside the dialog is smart, fast and at most times hilariously funny. I just wished more filmmakers followed the example of this low budget beautiful film and presented us with films that are real and true in their intentions.

a really bad film
17 April 2008
This film listed Winona Ryder as a main characterand by the middle of the movie she yet had to appear. You see I never made it that far to the movie to see if she really had a role. Thats how bad this film was. It has an absolute silly plot and consequently bad acting and direction. I am really wonderihg how come it gets a rating of 6 or more here on IMDb? is one of the worst movies i ever saw. An absolute waste of money and time. Thank god i ve only spent the money on renting the DVD. i haven't seen it on the cinema. Did i yet finished my 10 lines, i cant really write more than that about this stupid film. Well obviously not, i still have to write more. I hated this film. Hated this film! Indeed hated this film.
