Beverly Hills Cop (1984)

Still a modern concept for policemen,crime investigations and other sectors

[8/10 · 1 September 2007]

Although the general outline of the play is reflecting the beloved 80s, it is well -presented that when management is wrong the mission fails, so people without official permission may need to take things in their hands.. . especially in serious matters... Nowadays, in Greece, management is based on people who are chosen by the political party on Government. This has made the whole country, come to a general mess in any sector, because of bad management and because of people who do not feel what should be done in each crisis that appears. This play shows very well, that many times we have to disobey the official rules in order to do what must be done. Unfortunately, this in Greece has to be done every day. So, the wonderful protagonist, the cop of Beverly Hills is a close friend since "lives inside us". Very good story, wonderful music and a wonderful Eddie.

The Bridge of San Luis Rey (2004)

A marvelous concept, but not such a marvelous result

[7/10 · 1 September 2007]

Although the story is very very interesting and different than other movies, although it has some very special things to give us, it has some problems with casting. First Robert De Niro, was not at all matching to his role. Also, the actor "Perichole", was not such a diva that should have been to create the atmosphere that such a play would really need.. Imagine this play with Monica Belluchi as Perichole and an other Archbishop, lets say Antony Hopkins! Kathy Bates was really VERY good and she saved the situation. I vote for this movie be played again with an improvement in the cast ( just the 2 above)... The story about the search on the deaths is something unsolved until today. The way that the poor protagonist and researcher is dying is not a phenomenon of the past, if you imagine what is happening today in modern research... This movie was good, even with these problems because offered things to the audience.

La fea más bella (2006–2007)

I watched this series from the very first episode and I am very happy that I haven't lost any episodes. The story, the music, the casting, everything is excellent. Whoever does not like this story and has not voted for it, has not probably watched it from the first episode, and has not understood the story. In my country, the story is still on TV,and Lety has not yet turned to beautiful. But already she has gained my heart and I will record any episode that I wont be able to watch on TV. What is special in this TV series is there is so much originality in the characters that you feel that the actors are your friends. We will all feel very lonely when the play comes to an end...
