I nona (1981)
Funny and simple movie that makes you laugh with its silliness.
I feel the need to say already from the beginning, that when you watch a movie like this one, it's no use to say how good was the photography or the general quality of the movie. It is supposed to be a silly and funny movie and that's all. Don't expect more. The main idea, is that Sotiris Moustakas is a detective and has solved almost all cases that the police was trying to solve. But he has a good heart and gives many times the credit to the police commissioner. Then, a mafia guy (a Godfather) decides to hire him, in order to find "Nona" (The Godmother) of the crime world. The Godfather knows that she uses a special technique to win in the casinos and gives this information to Sotiri Moustaka. He then starts the investigation with his "slow" in the mind but very funny helper, Papadopoulo. The movie is very funny and sometimes hilarious. Sotiris Moustakas is good and all the actors work well together in this movie. It is obvious that it was shot fast (within a couple of weeks?) and the editing of the movie was done fast as if they had to make and release it within a month. The music is typical of that era and brings nostalgia. My advice would be to watch this movie without any expectations and it will deliver all that it promises. Laughter and entertainment.
Torque (2004)
And you thought 2Fast2Furious was stupid!!
Might contain some spoilers, some comments about a couple of scenes.
Where to begin describing this......this.......this HORRIBLE thing they wanna call movie! I knew what to expect when watching it but I didn't think that it would have been SO BAD!!!
First of all it's the story of the movie....there isn't any. Don't try hard to find it cos it's nowhere. Then it's the stupid playing of the actors but I think that it's the director that we have to blame for that. Actors just follow director's instructions anyway. And then all is left are the stupid stunts that the "COOL" actors perform with their bikes......
Seen it in "Mission Impossible 2", you see it here also. Super sport bikes designed for racing or street use, going off road and in a second they become 20 cm taller with on-off tires, jumping from everything....that can give a cool jump. But in this movie it's even worst....did you watch the train scene? I don't think that I can say anything about that. Just fast forward it cos it doesn't make any sense. But wait!!!! It gets even better.....or should I say worst (?)
Have you seen motorcycle-boxing? You will in this movie, I guarantee it:) YES, the 2 sexy-cool-biker women cannot only drive their bikes but they can also box them.
As for last, I think the 2 bikes that go hyper-sonic is where the director went bananas. Have you ever seen a Harley going as fast as a sport bike that is made of carbon fibre and has a jet Rolls Royce engine on it? :-) Don't search any longer cos YOU'LL FIND HERE - IN THIS MOVIE:-)
Sorry for telling all these but come on!!!! For what kind of public they are making these kind of movies!?!?! You have to be brain dead to even say that it was just OK!
VERDICT: The worst movie I have ever watched in my life (I haven't watched the movies with Britney Spears or Mariah Carey yet but I don't think that I will ever do such a mistake)
Il mostro (1994)
A monster that you have to love :-)
I was on holidays in Italy that year when I watched the advert in TV. Roberto Benigni was walking with his funny way (that uses in the movie to avoid the house owner) to the nearest kiosk and stealing the video cassette of his own movie....il Mostro. After that, I had to watch the movie and I have to admit that it's great! He is one of the few actors that he doesn't make himself look ridiculous in order to make you laugh. He doesn't have that stupid kind of parody-american style. He has a great sense of humor and you can't take away the smile off your face after the movie has finished. He has that nice warm Italian tamperamento and that's why maybe I like him and his movies so much. He is an artist! Enjoy the movie!
