Safe Sex (1999)
What happened to the script?
Safe sex in cold facts: 1st on the Greek Box office with 1000000 tickets. The most commercial greek movie in the history of greek cinematography. Countless well known greek actors in the cast. Two of the most popular tv directors. In greece this film had a massive hype which can only be compared to the hype of titanic!
Safe sex my view: First of all i would like to say before i write my view that i am a big fan of the cinema,i have stopped watching commercial movies a long time ago.I have attended many Movie festivals and the last one was a "Kenzi Mizoguchi" festival in greece which was truly superb.Then why did i watch the movie? My friends aren't like me they don't watch a movie that's not a blockbaster they are totally tasteless so we have like an unsaid agreement i watch movies they like,they watch movies i like. So it was their turn to choose and they chose "Safe Sex"... the weird thing was that i really wanted to see this movie cause i heard like many good comments of people who i trust. So we went out and barely found a ticket and bought some pop&corn and stuff and started watching the movie... I must say that i was at first impressed by the countless actors that apeared before me,later on i thought "Why do these people laugh?" this "comedy" had no good jokes but only COUNTLESS bad jokes when i say countless i mean that i doubt even if 20 seconds passed by without another tasteless joke was said.So i was wondering why didn't i laugh and i turned and saw my friends...."George" who's favorite movie is "Fame" laughed all the time (I wasn't suprised) "Tina" the only friend who has watched almost as many movies as i have seemed sceptical and then there was the Half movie Break,we spoke of what we thought firstly george said that it was possibly the best movie he has watched this year,than i said it was possibly the only movie i have seen that had no script,and then tina agreed with me and added that she hasn't seen worst jokes on a movie in her whole life! Our views wasn't changed until the end because nothing really changed. What i thought after watching the movie? It's a pity that good greek movies don't get more than a total of 1/10 the tickets this movie got! This movie doesn't mark a new age of good movies in greece but a new age of countless tasteless commercial movies in greece!
Armageddon (1998)
Bad and typical "USA saves the world" movie
******Warning Spoiler********
This is one of the worst films I've ever seen that's for sure. Bad stuff: 1)USA once more saves the world! (This is very original) 2)There's no way i can believe that "Mir" the russian station had only ONE man in it. 3)The BAD RUSSIAN that was in mir was crazy! And he almost killed the poor Americans that were trying to save the world TWICE!!! (Once while leaving Mir and once on the comet) 4)There where three countdowns that stopped at the last second!!! 5)The story line was totally predictable!! (Especially the end where Bruce sacrifices himself to save the world!) 6)If I had a choice between the three: Last Night, Armageddon and Deep Impact (NOW that I've seen them) I'd go and see Last Night which is a masterpiece!
Now the good stuff... 1)This is one of two movies that where I could laugh at the end while I watched the audience's reactions. The other movie was Blade which by the way was another poor movie!
In my opinion, if you are a 14-year-old GIRL who likes Aerosmith this maybe the best movie that you can see but if that's not the case then search elsewhere for entertainment. This is just a well-advertised blockbuster action movie with bad actors in the cast and good visual effects!
The best I can give it is 1 out of 100 and that's because my sister and a friend of hers actually liked it!! (After 3 months they realised that the movie was BAD and changed their minds!)
