I alepou kai o boufos (1987)
Forgotten gem
At this era Giorgios Konstadinou was the best comedic script writer on tv, making many series. And of course being one of the best comedians of all time in Greece, he was also the protagonist. The character he plays on this show is an awkward, lonely, out of his time, middle aged man who never had a real experience with a woman. A role that Is very close to what Konstadinou has been playing throughout his career in old Greek comedies and that's why he absolutely nails it. All of a sudden he gets involved in situations with people who can't handle them or they can't handle him. Most other actors are very good, especially Dina Konsta (his aunt) and Marcos Lezes (his neighbour) with fast paced, original and very funny dialogues. The only downside of the show is the other main character (Sylvia) played by Tzovanna Fragouli. Unfortunately as an actress she's way below the level of even most of the supporting cast. In conclusion, it is a very enjoyable comedy which you can watch more than once or two, especially because of the dialogues.
The Interview (2014)
Let down
Actually the first half of the movie was way better than the second one. It gets you a bit excited of what is going to happen and then it gets worse way until the end. The acting was not the worse part, nor the idea of the movie. But the story as a whole was pretty bad. It's no where near movies like "Hot Shots" or "Top Secret" that I watched as a kid and I still watch them after so many times. That's why I disagree when people say it's targeted to younger audience. Definitely no. I understand when a movie is not suitable for my age and when a movie is just bad. I was expecting something better, considering all the fuss, but not to much to be honest. Beside 3 or 4 funny lines, the "Interview" was a disaster. The story and the screenplay were dull. It seemed rushed or like they didn't try enough and this is disappointing. No actor could support a movie like this. It is just unfunny.
