Schiller – Live @ Fuzz Club, Athens, Greece on 27/4/2007 – Review

Being a huge fan of Schiller i decided to buy myself a ticket for the 2nd concert in Athens (first as a support act to Depeche Mode, summer of 2007).

The price: fair enough as opposed to other concerts (30 €) yet pricey if one considers what took place during the concert and what the show package offered…

The place: ex-Club 22 mainstream dance club, capacity of around 300 people.

Ticket indicates 21:30 as show start time, Schiller shows up at 22:00, i think one can live with this delay and not argue with it…

One though can argue with the fact that:

• Heppner, Schiller’s main vocal performer of famous tracks including Dream of you and I feel you, was absent. Instead, what we saw was an excerpt from a live DVD release – Heppner voice over the music the band played live (luckily…) for us!
• The show lasted somewhat 1 and a half hour with 2 encores of no more than 15 minutes duration (both)…
  

On the contrary, bathed in super sexy mood that magnetized the audience and a splendid sense of humour, beautiful Kim Sanders was the concert’s star, a fact that can make up for the 2 minor disappointments mentioned above.

Leaving Fuzz Club a bittersweet taste lingers along with a hope that next time we will get to see all female singers and a longer-lasting show…

James Bond "Casino Royale" prequel personal review…

James Bond “Casino Royale” prequel personal review – A new Bond rising!

Went to see the long-awaited prequel James Bond movie the other day and i must say that i entered the movie theatre a bit biased about what i was going to see, since the critics were a bit ..harsh on Daniel Craig’s overall performance.

People say that seeing is believing…So, lights were out and attention drawn only on the big screen…

After 2+ hours these are my final thoughts on the movie product:

- unique opening titles sequence coupled with a terrific OST theme by Soundgarden’s & Audioslave guitarist and frontman Chris Cornell…”You know my name” is the track..
- GREAT human chase sequence at the very beginning…Wow!Take DeNiro starring in Ronin, only replace cars with human bodies, add more adrenaline and meticulously crafted stunt coordination to the recipe……The director Martin Campbell needed a strong card for the beginning to magnetize viewers’ attention..I think he made it!
- High level – for the Bond standards set by previous Bond characters – acting performance by Graid..There he was, stripped of his super-duper bullet-proof agent armor: a Bond revealing multiple character assets, crying, feeling love, betrayal, pain (note the near-death heart attack along with the torture on Bond by Le Chiffre sequences) yet with the coldest of blood running through his veins, able to inforce injury, kill and on-demand overcome fatique and strain known to human limits…A transformation worth every penny!
- 2 woman actors: a fine blend of Meditterean and British looks and talents by Caterina Murino
and Eva Green.
- an abundancy of style, glamour, breath-taking cars and natural surroundings…

Go and watch the film! It’s prove’s many critics wrong! Hope you’ll enjoy it!
Daniel Craig – you are here to stay!
