A post apocalyptic nightmare
24 August 2008
It's the near future, and a catastrophe (plague, war, who knows?) has let the few survivors to wander aimlessly in the wild. One of them, a woman, wants only to "go West, to the sea" where she believes life could be better but in order to achieve that, she must go through a ghost city which is guarded by the Morning Patrol (Proini Peripolos).

Proini Peripolos is really far from Hollywood movies or blockbusters. It's just an artistic movie with slow pace and it's real power is the setting with grim pictures, atmospheric music and isolated landscapes. Try to find it if you can although the language (it's in Greek) will be a problem for foreign audiences.

Eragon (2006)
1/10
Dragons don't make always a good movie...
14 December 2006
I just saw Eragon although I haven't read the book.

Unfortunately, the film as a film, suffers from many flaws. Childish dialogs, extremely fast pacing, no character development. The whole thing gave me a sense of hurry.

The acting is not so good. Only Irons shines, while John Malkovich is really wasted having about only 10 minutes screen time.

The battles are not as impressive as they could be and if someone expects something similar with LOTR, he'll be disappointed. Finally, the effects or simply the dragon are quite good but they aren't enough to make a good movie.

Conclusion: Wait for the DVD release...
