Such a pity that I haven't seen Alan Tudyk in enough movies... He is a scene stealer, like his colleague from A Kight's Tale, Paul Bettany. Speaking of Bettany, I've recently watched Mortdecai, and I liked it, the movie, the acting, everything. But on Mortdecai, details maybe in a future post. Death at a Funeral, is a British comedy released in 2007 and directed by Frank Oz. It was so hilarious, that the Americans wanted in, and made a remake only three years after. Unfortunately, it was not as … [Read more...]

Mother and Brother – a Winning Short Drama
Mother and Brother is an indie short movie presented at Arizona International Film Festival this year (2015), where it deservedly won the "Best Dramatic Short" Award. It was directed and written by a debutant named Dustin Cook. You know I don't spoil anything, and because I also have in mind to enrich this site with a few more subcategories, I start by telling you that I'll review short movies as well. They are all small pieces of art, you know? If you enjoy short stories, you'll enjoy short … [Read more...]
The Necessary Death Of Charlie Countryman
I have been impressed in a very pleasant way, by this special movie. I may be influenced that it is a Romanian co-production, but I am not. Of course I'm always minimally subjective when I judge a movie, and sometimes it depends on my moods more than the artistry, or if the movie makers respected the manual. I do not have a diploma related with the industry. Actually I consider that there are very few venues where one really needs a stamped paper to be a specialist in a subject or other. If … [Read more...]
Chef, a 2014 Delicious Movie
I love cooking, I love good food, I love good eating. Even if I consider that I can eat almost anything, I hugely appreciate something really well prepared. Cooking is an art, but not all cooks are artists, and not all artists are built for everyone's taste. Like Anthony Bourdain, of whom I'm a very big fan, I appreciate more the craftsmanship of cooking, than the artistry. The movie Chef, created by Jon Favreau in 2013, and timidly released in 2014, is not a comedy in the classic sense, but it … [Read more...]
True Romance
True Romance is a 1993 American action romantic crime film directed by Tony Scott and written by Quentin Tarantino. It is very entertaining, and it has a freshness that has reached even Tarantino's taste. He declared at a moment that he wouldn't have directed it better than Tony Scott. It is his second screenplay written for an important movie, the other one being his first low budget hit, Reservoir Dogs. I'm glad I have finally watched this movie, after noticing it on Empire Magazine's 2008 … [Read more...]
A Touch of Spices – Politiki Kouzina
The Greek title is Πολίτικη Κουζίνα (Politiki Kouzina) and means Cuisine of the City, Πολί being the word for city, "I Πολί", "The City" refers to Constantinople, or Istanbul to be politically correct. This is a film who depicts a multiple love story. "Gastronomos contain the word Astronomos", I have the feeling that the translation is obvious. It is about a boy who likes to cook with significant spices and "the most beautiful city in the world". Istanbul is also a character in this wonderful … [Read more...]
