Lately, the celebrities have been honored in the shows hosted by the channels. Elisabeth Moutafi was asked in an interview if she would say "yes" to a possible proposal.

His concerns and fears for the fourth round of the Formula One championship 1 in the Bahrain (22/4) , expressed group president at “Guardian”.
The strong man, who however chose not to make his name public, he emphasized that it would be better FIA postpone or cancel the said grand prize, as he would not want to endanger team personnel traveling to Bahrain.
"I feel very uncomfortable at the thought of going to Bahrain. I am sure that it is the only solution so that nothing happens in the race, is to have military power, which is unacceptable for the league, but also for the country.
We all hope the FIA cancels the grand prix. If we take into account the advice of the government and the guarantees they give us, we have to go. However, we are worried, as it happens every day and from something. I was watching an activist interview on the BBC,where he said that there would be peaceful protests, however everything starts like this.
Other team presidents have the same concerns. I spent all of last week, trying to get guarantees from the insurance companies to ensure the team. I sent a message to the legal department to make sure all employees are covered in the event of a terrorist attack.
We have enough staff and they and their families are our priority. It seems that even if there is an improvement in the politics of the country, this is not enough. It would be best to either postpone it, or to cancel", said the group's president.

Everyone at our facility works very hard, as we still have a long way to go", were Fry's words, who then completed.
"We continue to work to solve the problems we have. New parts are expected, which we expect to see inside the track, as quickly as possible. For the Chinese Grand Prix we have five upgrades, while we will have an even bigger package of upgrades in Spain", added the scoundrel engineer.

His name has been associated with the "golden age" of Greek cinema. With a host of top performers, many
of whom he highlighted through his songs (from Nana Mouschouri and Marinella to Yiannis Poulopoulos and Yiannis Vogiatzis). Although the compositional work of Mimi Plessas does not stop there, however, the folk music he wrote for the big screen and the stage are the ones that have been widely accepted for years now by those Greeks who still fall in love and dream, to sing and dance with their soul.
To the prolific creator who has over fifty years of successful career, the Concert Hall dedicates an evening filled with his songs that we all loved, songs that move us as they hold up to this day, all their freshness.
In the concert-tribute to the fruitful and consistent course of Mimi Plessas in the Greek pentagram, which will take place on Tuesday 24 April, at 8.30 in the evening in the Christos Lambrakis Hall, the first place is held by the pieces from the famous Cycle of songs of "The Road" (1969) – songs included on the album of the same name, the first Greek to become gold – , pieces from the Cycle "Talk to me about freedom" – banned by the junta of colonels – as was the song "Tonight I Got Grace", all in lyrics by Lefteris Papadopoulos.
Four accomplished performers of the younger generation, Gerasimos Andreatos, Melina Aslanidou, Rita Antonopoulou and Spyros Kleissas, accompanied by the "En Fonais" Choir and the ERT Contemporary Music Orchestra - under the musical direction of Miltos Logiadis - undertake to give the trigger for an evening of genuine folk entertainment with audience participation. The orchestrations of the songs are signed by the composer. The repertoire consultant is Giorgos Monemvasitis.
They cooperate with the Orchestra: o Mimis Plessas on the piano, George Pahis (bouzouki), Nasos Sopilis (keys) and Dimitris Stasinos (electric guitar).
The concert-tribute to the music of Mimi Plessas is part of the Greek Song Series.
Who doesn't know and hasn't sung "The Statue", "Maria laughed", "Get My Girl Drunk Tonight", Sunday dawns, "First time" or "Give me your mouth"; Pieces that along with so much more, famous and beloved ("The Madman", "Frankoklissa", "I got cloud two places", "Myrsini puts on the whites", "Twelve Mandolins", "There was a deep silence") are included in the now legendary "Road" of Mimi Plessas. In the first Greek record to go gold, album that broke every sales record in the years that followed.
His story began one night at the house of Lefteris Papadopoulos, when Mimis Plessas accidentally saw some of his scattered manuscripts on the table. Feeling “unspeakable tenderness as I read them, since they described my teenage years, the years during the Occupation", as he himself narrates, he asked the great lyricist to take them to set to music. The composer wrote their music in two days, the late director of the Lyra company, Alekos Patsifas, he immediately approved them, even giving the title of the album, and so things went their way. These songs, with Yannis Poulopoulos as the main performer as well as Rena Koumiotis and Popi Asteriadis, recorded – within 10 by Dimitra Papanastassopoulou is published by Dioptra Publications – at Columbia Studios and released it 1969.
In January 1970 "The Road" was transferred to the stage of the "Paxinos" theater, with the same coefficients. But he was censored and hunted by the dictatorial regime as extra songs were added to the show that contained clear messages against him: the "six men" ("Six bothered them but did not testify" ) performed by Yannis Poulopoulos and "Tell me about freedom (and the sun will come back)» by Rena Koumiotis, (songs contained in the following album of the duo Plessa-Papadopoulos "Speak to me for freedom" 1974) while "Tonight I Got My Grace" was bootlegged as an independent single in the same year, the 1970 in the 'Poulopoulos 4' edition. The album "Talk to me about freedom", unlike "The Road", is considered one of the most "unfair" in the history of Greek music as the lyrics of his songs with the main theme of the "black" but also such a historic period for our country 1940-41, they disturbed the junta of the colonels which banned its circulation.
The album though, was published after the post-colonial revolution but was "lost" in the overabundance of political songs that overwhelmed Greek music production at that time. Nevertheless, it deserves special attention since it includes pieces ("this sky", "It was October (Fascism will not pass)», "Heaven", "Jannis", “The cicada (In Pelion)», "The Killed Boy", "from hunger", "Talk to me about freedom", "my mother", "My imprisoned moon", "Six Men" and "The Last Days"), που μεταφέρουν νοερά τον ακροατή στη ζοφερή εποχή της Κατοχής μέσα από τις συγκλονιστικές εικόνες των στίχων του Λευτέρη Παπαδόπουλου.

THE LITTLE HOUSE IN THE WOODSCase : Τέσσερις φίλοι από το κολλέγιο αποφασίζουν να περάσουν ένα σαββατοκύριακο σε μια ξύλινη καλύβα στο δάσος. Δύο ηλικιωμένοι τύποι, οι οποίοι όπως φαίνεται γνωρίζουν κάτι παραπάνω σχετικά με τη συγκεκριμένη καλύβα, τους συμβουλεύουν να το ξανασκεφτούν. Naturally, τα λόγια τους σκορπίζουν στον αέρα και, το ίδιο κιόλας βράδυ, ο εφιάλτης ξεκινά…
Watch the movie trailer
Πρόσθετα : «The horror movie to end all horror movies» αποκαλεί με στόμφο ο σεναριογράφος Τζος Γουίντον («Marvel’s The Avengers») το «The Cabin in the Woods», τα γυρίσματα του οποίου έχουν μεν ολοκληρωθεί από το 2009, όμως η -προσωρινή- απόφαση των παραγωγών να το μετατρέψουν σε 3D και η μετέπειτα χρεοκοπία της MGM, η οποία είχε τα δικαιώματα του, επέδρασαν αποφασιστικά στο να αναβληθεί επ’ αόριστον η διανομή του στις αίθουσες. Η ανάληψη της διεθνούς διανομής του από την Lionsgate επανάφερε την τάξη, και φέτος τον Οκτώβριο θα έχουμε πλέον την ευκαιρία να παρακολουθήσουμε μια καθ’ όλα αντισυμβατική ταινία τρόμου, με πνευματώδεις διαλόγους, άφθονο μαύρο χιούμορ και απανωτές ανατροπές, η οποία αναμένεται να ανανεώσει ένα (υπο)είδος, το οποίο θεωρητικά έχουν εξαντλήσει ταινίες όπως το «Evil Dead – Το Καταραμένο Άσμα» του Σαμ Ράιμι και το «Cabin Fever – Το Καταφύγιο του Τρόμου» του Ιλάι Ροθ. Το «The Cabin in the Woods» αποτελεί το σκηνοθετικό ντεμπούτο του Ντρου Γκοντάρ, σεναριογράφου του «Cloverfield» και υπεύθυνου για ορισμένα από τα καλύτερα επεισόδια του «Lost» και του «Alias», ενώ στο καστ συναντάμε τον σταθερά καλό Ρίτσαρντ Τζένκινς («Άσε το Κακό να Μπει», «Εργένηδες για Μια Εβδομάδα», «The Visitor»), αλλά και τον Αυστραλό Κρις Χέμσγουορθ, προτού πιάσει στα χέρια του το σφυρί του… Thor!
Comments : Σίγουρα μια ταινία που δεν περιμένεις να κάνει πρεμιέρα μέσα στις άγιες μέρες του Πάσχα.Υπόσχεται να μας τρομάξει και να μας εκπλήξει..
Θα την απολαύσουμε στις 15 Απριλίου και θα επιστρέψουμε με περισσότερα σχόλια και εντυπώσεις..Ελπίζουμε ο τομέας των θρίλερ να κάνει επιτέλους “Ανάσταση”.. πάει καιρός που βγήκε κάτι καλό στις αίθουσες.

Last Saturday was also the last for "12", the successful show presented this year by Anna Vissi at Rex. The party started at 12 exactly and finished a few minutes after the 7 in the morning with the nightclub still packed.
One of the big surprises of the evening was the presence of Nikos Karvelas, both at the first tables with Annita Pania and on the stage where she went up to sing with Anna Vissi.
The previous day, Alcestis Protopsalti was found in the night club of the University, who also took the stage to sing. The next - and last- even at night, Myrto Kotova said between seriousness and joking that she will try next winter season to "marry" these two important performers on stage. Anna Vissi was content to state on stage that she wishes next year to present something worthy of this year - if not better- thus renewing her rendezvous with nocturnal Athens and its world.
