  Sicario: Day of the Soldado 2018

  ★★★½ Watched 01 Jul 2018

  Sollima's version of Sicario does not come with the original's depth and ethical perspective. It is straightforward realistic yet impressive action. People don't talk too much but you assume that almost anybody in this movie is a badass motherfucker (unlike Blunt's character, a major drawback for me in Sicario 1). Sicario II, bleak as it was, it was also tons of fun. Loved the pacing, the acting, the photography, everything about it. It is not gonna go down as a modern classic but paying a ticket to watch it is the definition of a value for money proposition.

  The Pursuit of Happyness 2006

  ★★★ Watched 10 Jun 2018

  Based on a true story, the Pursuit of Happyness, portrays the road from homelessness to success for Will and Jaden Smith.
  Is it i overly dramatic?
  Sure! But by focusing on the father and son relationship and good performances by the Smith family, the movie makes an interesting viewing.

  The Great White Hype 1996

  ★★★★½ Added

  I absolutely adore this film. Seen it a thousand times and laughing my guts out each and everyone of them. The world of professional boxing , or how we can't get rid of racism since it is still the highest grossing marketing trick of them all.Ace performances by all members of the cast.
  In my mind this is one the most underrated film to hold a 5.4/10 score in IMDB. You have been warned.

  Let the Women Wait! 1998

  ★★★★½ Added

  This is probably my favorite greek movie ever, yet one I would be hesitant to recommend to non-Greeks. Hell, I would be skeptical to even recommended it to Greeks of non northern Greek origin.

  Auter Stavros Tsiolis captures the essence of Greece in the 90s and the soul and typology of the Northerner while himself not being one.
  Essentially a road movie, "Let the women wait" tells the story of three people that are friends mainly because they got married…
