Female Crush #2
Penelope Cruz is another one of my crushes, she is beautiful and a talented actress. One of my favourite films she is in is Captain Corelli's Mandolin (playing Pelagia - a Greek name meaning 'Of the sea' that I love) as this is based on the island of Kefalonia which I visited at the age of 16. She has a lot of grace and emotion in her acting and I find her extremely moving.

Female Crush #1

Although her acting was occasionally suspect in Transformers - she is stunning and I have always respected her in interviews and other 'real life' aspects, she is honest, bold and quite frankly, misunderstood. Worthy of my first female crush post!

Quote #3
''When you develop an infatuation for someone you always find a reason to believe that this is exactly the person for you. It doesn't need to be a good reason. Taking photographs of the night sky, for example. Now, in the long run, that's just the kind of dumb, irritating habit that would cause you to split up. But in the haze of infatuation, it's just what you've been searching for all these years''

Papadopoulos & Sons (TBC)
Pappadopoulos & Sons is a great, heart warming and valid film that depicts some of the realities of our modern Greek/Cypriot society. It addresses key points about our values, morals, successes and our failures. As a community it highlights our long standing community spirit and how, no matter what, we will be there for each other.
This transcends into the actual advertising for the film as the director Marcus Markou self distributed the film and the support was fantastic, showing how we value the progression of our fellow Greeks.
The film stars Stephen Dillane as 'Harry' - the millionaire gone bust and he is just a treat! Playing the almost self loathing Greek - as far away from a traditional Greek man and Father as you can get - but he pulls it all together at the end, realising that 'Success is the joy you feel'.
Georges Corraface is brilliant as the lovable 'Uncle Spiros' and he really reminds me of one of my relatives! It's all about dancing, having fun and appreciating the little that you have - my motto always. I like the fact that this film highlights the great potential we all have to start from scratch if we have to - and that a good entrepreneur will always land on his/her feet.
It is full of optimism beneath some sad scenes, the audience's response was a positive one in the cinema last night and I know that there are more great things to come from Markou. He is self motivated and can clearly make a cinema worthy film off his own back! Hollywood - who needs them when you have the backing of the Greeks!
Check out the trailer and take a trip to your local Cineworld, it may only be on our screens for a short while. Below are the details of where you can book to see the film. Let me know your comments below.
I will be mentioning this on LGR next Saturday - especially since Vasilis Panyayi (producer/programme organiser/presenter on LGR) had a guest role in this film which suprised me no end!

Love this image of Leonardo DiCaprio and Mark Wahlberg in the film Basketball Diaries (1995). One of my favourite films of DiCaprio's and a must watch if you are a fan or not. Both actors are great in this film and there are some powerful scenes here - tear jerkers for sure!
