Honeymoonish (2024)
7/10
OK but typical romcom
13 May 2024
A particularly progressive film for an Islamic country like Kuwait Beautiful landscapes hotels and all the things you think you are in a western country. Typical American script with a little dose of Islamic standards and the local way of life in Kuwait and Lebanon. The funniest part of the story was whether or not the couple were actually brother and sister.

Too many laughs in the first part of the film.

The only doo of the movie was the fat girl's thick hair and her rather exaggerated way of expressing herself. The groom was quite restrained.

At least me and my wife had a good time in this movie.

The final song is Hayo by Robert Alasaad noted in the end of the movie and also easily shazamed !

6/10.

The Tearsmith (2024)
8/10
Underrated but with mistakes
8 April 2024
Warning: Spoilers
I will try to be a short as possible. The movie is clearly an erotic drama between Nica and Riegel with short part in the place they were given as orphans. After a few years before they were adults both adopted in a family as like a ....'package; The story then shows them in the high school when a nice guy got in love with Nika and the things were a bit perplexed with jealousy between the two guys . The story was even better as the movie came to the end . Woke agenda once again hits the story with a very short timed story between two girls which finally got in the vain .

This movie is very simple with limited twists (the second guy , a legal battle ,Rigel in the hospital) and quite fast pace as a try to shrink a book in so short time . Bothg actors As with other in the imdb I also cry for music. Italy has a very log music tradition. They stopped for long time to participate in Eurovision deeming it as trash music. This si very strange that they preferred to use lollywater songs from the USA instead of using quality Italian songs even form the past. Or they just started singing trash as the remain west world?

After checking the comments in imdb I have a few things to advise about the movie.

First Nica and Rigel can be called as siblings in the "grave" the place they grown they are not real siblings in the story The last scene showing them as couple with a child is in the far future after they were married.

Damsel (2024)
7/10
intersting movie many questions
20 March 2024
A new arrival in the platform on March this year, and it also seems to be on the top list of this period for Greece.

In the start, you think that the movie could be some kind of lolly water movie with a girl who is married to a prince, but soon you understand that is wrong. This is the fiest twist in the story that shows an innocent girl becomes the victim of a mean dragon who wants to take revenge against humans. This was the regional king invading her home in the mountains. This dragon seemed quite mean and terrible at the time and continued to chase the young lady throughout the movie, but in the end, this dragon was not as terrible as I could have thought in the beginning. There are some more twists I will not identify here.

The adventure part with Elodie was quite interesting and reminded me to die hard. She is very good in rather risky cases. She learned by her life to struggle for the lives of her people in a place where food was missing, and this marriage was a good reason for her father to earn some money for 'selling' by some means, his daughter.

PS: What I can doubt in the movie. How can this dragon live so long? How can she talk with humans? Centuries later? Next to it, can it be the same for the family of the groom as long as the dragon lives? There is a map somewhere inside that means someone from the 'jailed' girls has attained to get out of the mountain, and thus she returned back to design the map. And finally, there was no smarter girl before her to solve this puzzle with the dragon. There are possibly many other questions to be answered, but these are my early thoughts at the time of writing this article.

As a result, I can rate this movie 6-7/10. Its quite entertaining and possibly a bit silly not replying to these quite reasonable questions.

No Limit (2022)
9/10
Very good !
23 November 2023
A true story about a girl who took up scuba diving to avoid going to university and her studies A young man and diving instructor assisted her to learn scuba diving .His aim was to take the world prize and continued even further exceeding his abilities sometimes putting his life at stakes . A very strong chemistry developed between them and they ended up becoming lovers.

Sufice to mention that the art of diving is very difficult and very dangerous at times. As far as I know, the side effects of deep diving can cause fainting, dizziness, , pressure on the body and many other problems.

Her mentor and companion, however, was highly initiating but also very obsessed with his goal of winning the prize this obsession brought him into conflict with his team. He had reached 178 meters of depth and he insisted that she go down even further.

Roxanne won a depth prize and continued for her next step by going even further down.

Very nice film with diving and bottom diving and slow paced, slow paced two hour film based on a true story. I was very much impressed.

The Eye (2008)
9/10
caprtivating horror flick
21 November 2023
Here is a relatively tough horror movie starring jessica alba In this film the actress plays a violinist who had an eye injury 10 years ago and recently had an operation at the urging of her sister with very good results.

But this one had a twist side effect . She was seeing ghosts while in her sleep or being awake, as well watching shadows moving around her or her house transforming into an unknown cave.

Her psychologist doctor called it "cellular memory".

Desperate to understand what happened to her, she searched for the background of the eye donor found in Mexico. The doctor followed her and discovered a young girl. The neighbors thought the girl was a fortune teller (she was misrepresented as a witch ).

More details in the film. There are many extraordinary scenes to see that conclude the story.

I found the film quite exciting With many twists and turns in the story and lots of horror elements regardless of what other commentators here on the site say

Conclusion 9/10 with a film that captivated me with the way it was shot and cutting/creepy and captivating effects and Jessica Alba shining in her role. This is the best roles I have seen amog a handful of others that include also the funny good luck chuck and fantastic 4.

Gone Girl (2014)
9/10
2.5 hours in the chair
21 November 2023
The film starts off with little interest at the beginning with Nick meeting the journalist and author of the story that was known throughout the country through a children's story and they fall in love. Suddenly his wife disappears leaving him alone and in a situation where he looks guilty and possibly a criminal who is somehow controlled by his wife A film with unpredictable situations created by a very morbid and almost perfect writer Both actors have an absolute chemistry and play amazingly well.

The whole plot, although very interesting, seems somehow quite eerie compared to the reality, I find it incredible how the author managed with such incredible direction to turn the world against her husband when his mistake seemed to be a minor one compared to what she did (and a murder) As a conclusion, this movie she made me stay in the chair for two and a half hours without interruption.

Split (IX) (2016)
2/10
Huh?
19 November 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This movie was too bad. It showed us a person with 18 different characters in the end turned into a monster.

At the beginning of the film this young man had grabbed three girls and locked them in a dungeon. In most of the movie he seemed to be weird though he was polite wjhile trating them Understandably, the girls were also terrified, although with an always hope to find a way to leave the place . In contrast although though he was quite absurd he was enough smart to lock all etc .

He was under the care of a retired psychiatrist who supported him based on what she knew. Uin the end of the movie we heard that he was hiding the most important of the traits of the monster.

Finally in the end we watch that he is morphed in a way similar to a superhero () running as a cheetah inside the city and bullet proof just before the end of the movie!!

"it seems like a rollercoaster of logic-defying events"

This movie is really very extraordinary quite far from any logic. A rollercoaster of logic-defying events as any logica .though it is supposedly marked horror I can rate it as a dumb semi scifi movie with much mystery dosage with lots of thrilling scenes .

Syamalam and MC Avoy did an excellent work on making a so bad un-horror but only 'terrific' thriller movie . MY previous movie 'The eye' was more evident as horror 2/10.

Nowhere (II) (2023)
9/10
the modern odyssey
16 November 2023
And something very intriguing from Spain. A movie in the near future showing a couple separated by the corps traders into nothing that weas supposed to be another country but in reality it was a deceit to story innocent people inside big containers dropped in the sea. Husband was stored in a men container while his pregnant wife was stored into a women and children container quite freighting don't you think? It was a really thrilling story dn was the first 20 minutes . The remain part of this story shown on how this woman saved herself as the only one living feeding herself from various meat and stored in the container then born her child and qite later finally being rescued by a couple somewhere near .... Eire in around 1 month of livg in the sea.. although this can sound a quite extraordinary, this story is very much suspenseful to me I really was totally speechless watching it, what oi also liked it on how a very powerless girl slowly transferred into a real and strong Ulisses of today!

9/10 I recommend this movie to anyone.

The Sniper's Internal Monologue
16 November 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Starts very loose. A sniper losing his target after long time waiting fir the best moment and shoting the wring person. I think he was quite tired from waiting for so long The story is deployed in 6 parts He uses a standard motto of being non empathic ad flutley follows it His giflfrind was hit by a unknown to him duet Finding his lawyer and killing him . He also killed his secretary after she disclosed this info Goe to S Domenico to kill a very muscly man Gone to another place to kill the toothpick shaped woman lol as someone called her Gone to another place to find and threaten the person ordering this murder. He And finally felt OK live with his girlfriend to be lifepartner?

Countdown (III) (2019)
5/10
Not for us
28 August 2023
This movie been watched from the local TV cxhannel . I was quite curious inwha stands up and started watching that but stopped in less than half hour especially after my wifes request who shocked nearly from the start

This a really a quite shocking story , the director did a very good job for that . The story is interesting upon a rather stupid premise: This application can predict when you will die .None knows except God ,just in case you are a religious follower. Ever more crazy to the story is that the application can follow you regardless if you change a mobile . And this application is 'rooted' in the smartphone so that it cannot be removed. Any installed programs can be easily and intermediately removed . Also it is quite weird if not illogical that this application can be transferred into a new mobile with new number,

What I cant understand mysterious creatures are shown behind these scenes asalsdo the scene with a nearly human creature who passes through the.

Force 2 (2016)
7/10
good action flick
26 August 2023
Just an action Hindi movie of the present starring John Abraham as Yash and Sonakshi Singha as KK with spy themes . Topical to the Hindi movies is to show a near superman human in powers showing him to raise a car from back in the start in the movie. Nealy the same happens in most Hindi action movies of the near or farther past.

There are many scenes in the same manner. This is a spies movie killed by a hidden Chines gang lead by a crazy ut very intelligent Hindi spy who wanders across the globe to kick his traces out. Yash and KK are the only spies who can stop him Most of the movie is filmed in Budapest with a very fast pacing and lots of gun shooting and driving crazy Shiv the villain guy is a very cool but crazy person with no empathy . He is very right but uses the bad way to do that . The Hindi admin back in time Considered the unsuccessful spies as traitors and killed them . His mom also committed suicide ,This is the reasons why he did what he did

A few interesting scenes Yash used the body of a blonde woman whistle blower to stop some people from killing him A few action scenes from Yash's point of view the time he was fighting some troops that is as he watched

The music as many others noticed here is rather bad . I can recommend the last song on the end titles . It is a patriotic song.

A typical hilartious romcom
26 August 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Good luck Chuck

One old time comedy already seen in the TV seen once again via the Netlix platform and this time with no adverts. I laughed again as older times.

This is a typical rom com with near to "10 days to lose a guy" style that is with hilarious discussions lots of rude or nasty talking a friend who's is always thinking on making love also too many but short nudity scenes and many crazy scenes with fun gags!

Although Cam - Jessica Alba- is very clumsy in her life doing unbelievable gags her friend and main character Charlie followed this misbehavior after he fallen in love with her .

MY only spoiler for the movie: The main case of this comedy is someone from his past damned him never keep a relationship. Instead this curse helps the other women to marry their next partner Meeting this girl many years later in the movies present this mature woman told him that it was the moments tantrum ... Although Jessica does a good job Dane cook is overacting as an idiot

Although in other cases I could immediately reject such movies of rather low IQ it is one I liked. Possibly due to Jesica's calm behavior, gags are hilarious but not annoying 6/10.

Living in the jungle...
25 August 2023
Just an intriguing story with two friends arrested in the jungle somewhere nearby Jakarta. Its okey?

Not exactly but true . Ben one of the two guys of the filosofi kopi defended farmer groups whose have been taken over by the Company. Suddenly when he returned home a group of gangsters grabbed him and ekopt him arrested in cage together with other people from nearby villages.

Not long after his partner looked for him but finally after looking for him was also arrested.

This is the fist part of a interesting action movie. Nice landscapes slow paced village living though the movie is quite fast paced Also good photography in 2k

Both women Aghniny Haque and Hana Malasan as Tamora and Rinjani respectively are quite nice good in both acting fighting and using arrows. I m sure they were under the supervision of Yayan Ruhim the bad leader of the baddies group who is the martial arts director Quite funny that both women choose very elegant clothes in the Centre of nowhere!

MY first Indo movie via the Netflix platform but not the first!

Fenomena (1990)
9/10
Very nicemovie
25 August 2023
One of the nicest Malaysian movie I have seen very long ago - more than 19015 years ago with much interest hat made me a strong impact, Simple with quite lots of emotions. Two legendary singers namely Nasir and Amy Search in the actors role present tow members of a rock singer group and help a Malaysian born British women to search a saman and older gardener of her family home in Terengganu.

The story is simple with no twists and finally with a bad finale. I liked also the ulek mayang song in the end that made me cry. The other I remember is with Amy doing a good job in the movie . Movie was with English subtitles

9/10.

Showtime 1958 (2020)
8/10
Very nice story
25 August 2023
This is a cinematic depiction of the history behind a famous song for Ramadan, a legendary Malaysian singer and helping his mates in a famous music hall in Singapore on 4.4.1958 and behind of two interesting stories of a couple and a of helpless woman maintaining her siblings as a Participator in a clothing competition.

The remain movie is filled with its every day program plus the two parts of embroidery contest. Interesting movie with many songs known to me and good performances among the most actors. The pair of elder actors shines in both stage and no stage performance

Hoping that this is not a spoiler I am also noticing a partial listing of the movie as a Greek fan of Malay music since 90s : hitam manis by P Ramlee and the featured song selamat hari raya in the end of the show . Songs by Awie as filler and finally nino bobo a well known lullaby from Indonesia.

Enjoyable story
24 August 2023
At least it is a watchable and intesting historical fake story ! This compares to the previously watched hard feelings

Supposedly having some fun it is not a funny movie excluding the Italian temperament that is relatively crazy and funny . Some gn is also sown in the start titles whre the letters are moving reminding some old Italian spaghetti movies of the past or even some Tarantino movies

Still the movie is an action thiller with some interesting twists. In short the story is clarly noticed in the title . A rather amateur 'pro' person is acting for the resistance tries to unite some friends of the past together with the his girlfriend who secretary of a violent high class person of Mussolini aiming to steal gold and many other things Duce collected from Italian citizens in order to buy artillery to the army. Duce knowing his end premised to collect all his treasure and leave to Switzerland. Will the group of extremists win their bet?

It's a truly war movie with interesting story and quite simpe plot with minimal twists hat are increased towards the end of the movie. Some background humor and minimal funny scenes and fast paced . Tomasso is also very good as Pietro (the pro person and the main actor) Also to mention the old woman Isabella Fogliaza with a small role who shines as the wife of the general noted above

6/1- enjoyable movie.

Hard Feelings (2023)
4/10
Good story coarsely given
24 August 2023
This is a German movies I seen that shows in a coarse way two pals who are in the last class of high school and feeling now is the time of making love. In a sudden their sexual members start talking to them in an even more raunchy and quite stupid way that in part inhibits to do their classes with some stupid actions. Thankfully they were enough smart to get back before they were more ridiculed.

The story is very interesting with lots of good morals but the way it is given is more than raunchy putting the movie IQ to the floor level . For example we see his member rotating in front of other classmates or in the orchestra. Getting viral in the social media supposedly tik tok was the good side effect for him. Instead, his girlfriend was called as hooker and was ridiculed well. You can fancy what happened then. I can only notice the Greek expression make a mountain out of a molehill as translated into English. The class mates have a good motto "no more shaming" mentioned in English , which always was broken

The end is relatively better and quite predictable. A fast paced movie with some interesting twists Limited hidden nudity with much of overacting

Story : 6 and quite cute Implementation: 2 /10.

Street Kings (2008)
7/10
Sliglty more than an action movie
23 August 2023
A quite old movie 2008 that I m sure I seen in the local TV before Staring Keeanu Reeves trhis is a cop movie showing the imaginative? Corruption in the American police.

American police forces . Keeanu with the name as Tom Ludlow is the good guy on this story who manages very difficult situations and if necessary kills for the good. After his best mate is killed by a crime gang he is destined to unveil and kill his killers. But the things are not as its shown and finally learns the truth behind these gangs

Goods movie with action in more than 80% of the story plus some deep emotional scenes progress the movie into a more dimensional level. This also shows on how more violent can be the police forces making them really coppers There is unlimited action scenes with tones of ketchup and bullets used. Forest Whitaker is also good in his role as a the pervert and corrupted boss as he is finally unveiled

7/10 a bit more than an action movie.

Very nice experience
23 August 2023
Own of the most impressive Mexican movies I see this year.

First to note that the movie has a different original title called el ulitimo vagon or the last wagon that is used also in Greece This is the story of a young boy called Ikal with a nomad family moving from city to another city as required by the bosses of his step-father who works in a railway road constructing company Due to these conditions he is quite unable as a young student to learn the school lessons as he still does not know on how to read.

The story goes continuously forth and back in time showing him as school inspector while the remain shows his activities in the school and his life with his mates. The teacher helped him to learn and also behaved as his second mom.

The movie is very nice as also the rural places It reminds my very long ago childish time. It is not so shallow as anyone can think it shows the best of not only the boy also the remain characters and the value of having friends Carlo Isaac the actors name s not shown in the first rank of the movies web page

9/10 It's a nice experience watching this movie.

Loving Adults (2022)
8/10
Twisted Hitchkok story
23 August 2023
Its one of the random cases I watched a nonwestern movie in the Netflix platform yhis movie by chance comes from denamark and is quite interesting . It's a mystery and psychological crime thriller

The movie shows him driving a van and killing his wife , but later as the story unfolds we learn the story of both separately with many twists including more murders and continuously different directions It is quite unpredictable with also unpredictable extraordinary end. Before the end I was quite right where the corpse was before my wife found it...

Very good filming and direction in a country place some light nudity Sonia Richter the actress of Leonora is quite convincing as the mad and manipulative woman Dan Salim also doe a good job.

This is the final part of a 6 series of stories with Mila Jovovich with a new restart on 2022 out of the main franchise This info thanks to imdb

Monte Carlo (2011)
6/10
Light hearted
21 August 2023
Another movie seen in random from Netflix yesterday starring Selena Gomez in double role and a few more . Less unknown to me. A typical romcom filmed in Paris showing a few f the most known moments of the city. I was there on late 80s.

The movie is slightly funny. The fist funny scene was driving the group members inside the city at a high speed making finally the 3 friends lose the bus when they were in the Eiffel tower Also a simple plot inside the city and how they found themselves living for short time in Monte Carlo Fancy yourself Grace touring with her stepsister Megi and her best friend Emma leaving USA for a vacation trip in Paris and by good chance taking the position of her twin Grace and finally all of them living good adventure and life in Monte Carlo . In the next Friday Grace's twin coming the city to show a extremely expensive necklace finding it was lost... and now please see the movie . The best point was in the end !

Relatively fast paced a poor comedy with limited funny cases light hearted story bot good to watch with pop corn!

6/1- joyful story.

Better than the first.
20 August 2023
The second part from Ask continues the humor of the first part with two rather extraordinary scenes : playing with a baby reminding classical American movies with rather hilarious results ... another hilarious scene was with the fake policemen (Full Monty) in the bachelor party and finally with the impressively comedic scary flight of the hydroplane..

Once again the landscapes and photos are excellent (the island , the beautiful places ) The only question is that this part is heavily Americanized... more than the first part

I slightly overrate that from the part 1 giving 9 . Humor is paramount with lots of scenes or deep feelings and romance in the fast lane. It is paces very fast as the first asking the movie seem as _action romance_.

My wife loved it. Seen also the first rated the same and disliked the original story how to lose a guy in 10 days.

Love Tactics (2022)
8/10
miles better than original
19 August 2023
Another good turkish rom com with lots of action and very hi pace in two parts I preer top call this movie as love action.

The story is such : Asli is a blogger and very dynamic personality who thinks she knows men very well. Just think of person with face close to Kathreen Zeta Jones Kerem works in adverts dept and thinks of the same as her. Continuous coincidences make them work together under a plot of using various cliched or not methods tactics to allure or oust the other . In the fist part they finally push themselves into love even if they are agonist that. The story continues in the second part as secret lovers though wedding is out of discussion for both even if all stakes are against that especially from her part. Two more persons guide the couple into turbulence and two weddings make it more happier and finally a ... just look at the movie wha I liked : the story is too fast to be seen at easy with fast pace as mentioned above You never get boring. So many funny or even crazy scenes and even dialogue in both parts . So many very nice places esp in Cappadokia with the balloon and her having nausea , or the even funnier - and more extreme - of Kerem Driving a mini airplane nd her taking more than ......10 pills against nausea ad being in "her own world' (besotted? Nearly unconscious ) addenda : two months after I seen the orginal movie called 'how to lose a guy in 10 days' a totally dumb American story with characters self ridiculed at at for Andy I definitely prefer the Turkish version which is much more subtle .

9/10 Crazy humor: even if there are so many holes I still like to watch this movie series.
