Review of "The Immortals"

Death to “Immortals”: http://www.leontios.com/

Poor barba Kyriakos was saying it, but his sons didn't listen to him. From the ear of one came his words, from the ear of the other they came out: “Charlie, Blash, open a book of mythology because I see you living in duvars", he was calling them. “Leave us, oh father with mythology. Where will he need us?;” they answered him and continued to collect cards with baseball players. And it was not enough that his children had no appetite for reading, the US education system also had its black crap - not like ours which with photocopies and CDs is a model of education. Where to learn mythology; They learned the basics of it lamely and decided to study law when they grew up. And the years passed…
At one point a film producer had the brilliant idea to shoot an adventure that would take place in ancient Greece. "Which Greek screenwriters do we know who play with mythology?;” he started asking friends and acquaintances. “Who; The best ones: the Parlapanidis brothers. They know mythology from’ out and mixed. They'll take you out white-faced". He assigned them the writing of the "Immortals" and slept soundly. When the movie came out in theaters, it turns out that the brothers from New Jersey only knew mythology in passing. An event from here, one of these… And people were left cursing the moment he paid a ticket to see the currency and their school teacher regretted not leaving them for life in the fourth grade.

Well, you will say, the movie is so cool; As long as you don't imagine… At this point I must clarify the following: when I decided to see her, I knew what I was going to watch: a fairy-tale with plenty of blood, the testosterone of the protagonists soaking the screen cloth and the salt from the popcorn drying my lips. I did not expect to see a story based on Isiod's "Theogony".. But I didn't expect to see this mess either. And you are told by someone who "screams" at the "Greeks" who do not raise a fly in our mythology. Where to start and where to end… Hey guys, from the moment you decided to shoot a film set in Greece, why didn't you use real names that -goes to the wish- they would also give a sense of verisimilitude; Because the oracle in the movie is not one that actually existed; Because the Greek you hear in the movie is worse than what a drunk Scandinavian tourist speaks; You paid five hundred people to work on the effects, it was so hard to give 300 dollars to someone to teach the protagonists four sentences; In your secrets (otherwise I wanted to write it) that is; But, you will tell me, what happened that the film will be shown in Greece as well?; They down there have their debt to deal with, the film will be noticed;

As far as the aesthetic area is concerned, the influences from the Veloster are more than evident in the front of the Hyundai Genesis for the 2012. So at this point we have a new hexagonal mask, redesigned front lights and LED daytime running lights. However, the rear lights have also been redesigned, which are also LED technology. Although no photo of the interior of the renewed coupe has been published yet, let's say that the information states that in addition to upgrading the quality and equipment, the central console on the dashboard is also redesigned, which is now more reminiscent of that of the new Veloster and i40.
However, we have significant changes under the hood of the new Hyundai Genesis 2012MY. So their flagship V6 3,8 liter has been replaced by a new mechanical set of the "Lambda" series (3.8 GDi) which of course has direct injection technology and now performs 350 horsepower (43 more than in the past) and 400 Nm of torque.
Of course, we also have changes in the basic 4-cylinder turbo engine 2 liters which in the current model yields 210 horsepower. Hyundai therefore replaced this particular engine with the new two-liter turbo of the "Theta" series that is also present in the new Sonata. Of course there is a larger intercooler and twin-scroll turbo for the occasion, which means the base engine in the new Hyundai Genesis delivers 275 horses and 372 Nm of torque.
But the good news continues as the company has confirmed that both engines will also be available with the all-new automatic transmission of 8 company relations, while the top engine will also be available with an automatic 6 relations. We should also say that both mechanical sets are combined with a manual gearbox 6 relations.

Spielberg's new film is based on the popular homonym “small” of OPEL

To 2013 production of the mini model that Opel is feverishly developing will begin. Its name will be Allegra or Junior and it will have a restrained premium style, but also a modern look.
The competition in the mini vehicle segment has really caught fire and – unfortunately for it – Opel is far behind. You see, the Agila was not the expected success, as it is not a purely mini model, but more of a versatile model of compact dimensions. Things are expected to get even wilder next March with the arrival of the VW up!, but also of the third generation of the absolute mini best seller of our country, of the Fiat Panda. Reasonably, Opel is asked to answer if it wants to have a leading role in the class and according to information, that's what he intends to do.
Body
The new model will likely be called "Allegra" or "Junior" and will be based on a smaller version of the Opel Corsa platform.. Its body will be exclusively 3-door and will incorporate a multi-edge design, corners and sharp ribs. As can be seen in our spy photo, the final result will give the German mini model a distinctive and attractive image.
Interior
inside, the company will make use of components and accessories we already know from the Corsa and Astra. Emphasis will be placed on entertainment and information systems, so that the overall feel is sufficiently premium.
Engines
In everything,what about its mechanical parts, the new Opel mini will have small capacity gasoline engines for fuel economy, but without currently having any further information. Big chances, in any case, there are also some electric versions to be seen in the model range, as at the Frankfurt exhibition the German company presented a compact 2-seater electric vehicle, a fact that shows that the company is working on such a project.
Production

The aim of the Germans is to manufacture 80 – 90 mm. mini models per year. For this reason they will choose the Eisenach factory, in which General Motors Europe recently invested 90 from. euro. The company has committed that the production of the new model will start within 2013. Very important
