Too slow, too clishé, too unbelievably naive script ... I started watching out of curiosity because it had received a high mark but seriously? This is such a badly written series that I bet even the actors were cringing when filming the too but too many episodes .... if the legal system in Turkey is like it is portrayed here, I feel sorry about the poor citizens of that country ... man, none seems to have any rights and be treated with respect. Furthermore, the whole societal picture is very divided and unbelievable. What is also annoying is that every minute could have been acted in 5 seconds and have this over in less than 60 episodes ... last but not least, the music background is totally annoying in every episode ... 3/10 and I'm very gracious ... just see something else ... in conclusion I liked two gorgeous females ... Elfin and Bahar and nothing else in that series.

On a Wing and a Prayer
(2023)
I wanted to cry ... this was so bad!
6 May 2023
I have watched thousands movies since the early days of the motion pictures back in the beginning of 20th century. I'm a big time cinephile and over the last half century plus I have watched masterpieces and I have watched duds and everything in between. This one was beyond description painful to watch. The fact that I know about aviation and human character made it even more unbearable. If so it was slow, unbearable, full of cliches and on to of all that, acting was below average. The icing on the cake came with the religious spin close to the end of the movie ... that did it for me when I started rooting for a spectacular crash and turned the TV off. I had it!
The Burglars
(1971)
the car chase!
26 January 2023
Very nice movie with the best part being the car chase! Move over French Connection, this is absolutely fantastic driving in real life traffic in Athens and it's suburbs. This could the main reason for watching this movie besides an excellent cast and a good story.
A robbery that started and ended without a problem, a plan that started to go wrong soon enough, a cop that is quite suspicious and suspect and who knows what happened but pretends that he does not. Put all these into the mix and a beautiful woman and you got an interesting movie from 1971 shot both in French and English. By the way, JPB did most of the stunts himself.

Part I was good, very good but then things took the decline, namely, in part II and in this one, I was feeling the pain watching it. I'm a great fan of the novel and I was excited to watch the movie when I discovered that it was made but, what were the producers thinking of? Three movies with different actors, writers, directors, etc? Why not make a six part series and maintain continuity and style? This third movie is so amateur that reminds of bad TV movies from the 80s ... what the ... Part I had ambience and the colors were lush, the acting was above average, but this one? ... OMG ... I need another glass of scotch and I'm only less than 20 mins into the movie ...
Landkrimi: Drachenjungfrau
(2016 TV Movie)
a good movie to watch
1 September 2022
There is a type of crime movie or TV series that is slow, pastoral and cozy to watch - OK, cozy murder in a very liberal way to describe that. A great example of that sub-genre is the Midsomer Murders series. The Waterfall Murder is also one of them movies. Interesting, absorbing, with all kinds of twists that allows you to experience rural Austria through the eyes of Agatha Christie ... we'll, sort of. The background scenery is also gorgeous since it is filmed in the Austrian alps region. The actors and actresses do a good job and the script is linear and quite easy to follow. Very nice movie indeed and may I say, easy to watch cuddling with your other half and a glass of good wine during a cold winter night . 7/10.
Rita ... next rider of the Gulf stream?
11 July 2022
Warning: Spoilers
As I'm binging Dexter in mid-2022, yes, I missed it, I immensely enjoy the plot twists and the novelty of the show not to forget the excellent performance of so many actors and characters except one ... Rita .. she grew up to be the most annoying, manipulative, self-righteous creature ... liked her in past episodes but now, she developed as the antithesis of normal and such a goody-goody wannabe wife that truly deserves a ticket to the Gulf Stream ...
