Gunpowder Milkshake (2021)
A very enjoyable movie
The movie takes place in a universe where everyone is a badass and larger than life. Isn't that is pretty unrealistic? Sure. But so what? We are not here to judge movies based on their realism.
Also the plot or the dialogue is not top notch but the style and the energy makes up for it.
It is thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish. And the 2 fighting scenes are amongst the coolest I ve seen. The one where all 4 are injured / pararalised is a unique sight. The last one seems a little influenced by Oldboy s one. But it's also great.
If you like to have fun check it out!
Mudbound (2017)
Same recipe ok result don't you wanna try something different?
It's an ok movie. Maybe a good one. It follows the same recipe as so many other Oscar- worthy movies we be seen over the years. If you want to see what you were supposed to be seeing watch this. Otherwise go find an exciting movie that will surprise you make you think and excite you while leaving you wanting more. You want some examples? Watch small time crimes, or sexy beast, or big Lebowski, or maybe Brazil. There are so many amazing movies don't waste your precious time in a good movie...
Small Town Crime (2017)
Sometimes everything just... works
What a great wold would have been if we did not flood the cinemas to watch big budget blockbusters and instead we rewarded indie flicks that have soul and character... Indie flicks such as this one.
From the 1st few moments you can understand that we are in for something very interesting, real and unique. Watching John Hawkes beer drinking and muscle building at the same time - while throwing up in between - while at the same time Good Times by Eric Burdon is playing you can tell that you are in for a treat.
Hawkes character is extremely convincing as the alcoholic ex cop who has no reason to live. But after a tragic event it seems that he has found a reason to live - or die. He embarks on a dark journey that involves small time crooks that gets serious and personal.
The support cast is superb, the directing - esp at times - is exceptional, and the movie is one of the greatest surprises that i have had.
A must watch! Enjoy!
O Drakos (1956)
best Greek film I have seen
What an amazing film. I must admit that I haven't seen many of the Great Greek films, but out of ones I have seen this is by far the best. The music is truly outstanding and adds more tension to the carefully shot scenes of the film. Eliopoulos is superb as the "Drakos". He gives the best performance I have seen from a Greek actor (havent seen many of the Horn movies though). Besides the very good story, which would stand fine on its own, there are some very political and allegoric messages allover the film which give an extra depth to the film. Also, some of the scenes are mesmerizing (ie the scene in the beginning of the film and at the end). I would definitely recommend this film to Greeks and foreign people as well.
