“It’s all Greek to me” Sunday finale

As I mentioned last week, this will be the last “It’s all Greek to me” Sunday for a while. And as such I thought I would go out with a bang.

This is the big one, a “It’s all Greek to me” Sunday to beat all “It’s all Greek to me” Sunday’s. Instead of just one paragraph full of gibberish you are getting ten. Yes, that’s right, I’ve fed ten different short film synopsis and fed them into Bable Fish, an online translating service. I then translated the synopsis’ from English into Greek, and then from Greek back into English.

Your task is not just to identify each film, but also to identify the unifying theme that links them all. It’s a epic task, but I have faith in you.

And this week there will be prizes! I’m not entirely sure what they will be yet, to be honest i think it will depend on who wins them. But every single person who gets one or more film right will get A GLITTERING PRIZE!! As will those who identify the theme and point out how each film relates to it.

One
Emanating from a French director, [director], admirable [movie] should be a history of love. And thus it is. The film research of ritually copulation of emperor penguin, one of the most flexible animals in the ground. This remarkable history narrates from [actor], who decent voice gives in penguins the serious admiration that they deserve. But more incredible it is the photograph, which presents hunting penguins submarine, slipping in the ice, and even what resembles sure with kiss. In a point the photographic machine enlarges even in to mouth penguin since it ruminates the foods for his youths. A history of love and, more marvellously, the survival, [movie] are a stirring, eye-opening, and educational experience.

Two
When long-lose divine [character] ([actor]) is redisplayed after 25 years in the triangle of Bermudas, [character] ([actor]) and[character] ([actor]) ecstatically they begin the drawings for a celebration that will wake up the deads. Meanwhile, a bad lawyer draws the ways to take in the chances of gruesome family–whoever are somewhere in a secret underground booth in to family palace. Only the girl of [character], that is played by brilliant and stunningly [actor], and the employee of hands of [character] suspects that something rotten is planned in advance. [movie] they are not only the moved drawings and premiere of films of television family but are also the directorial debut talented cinematographer [director]. It has a winningly dark sense of humour that achieves she is also carefree and gruesome.

Three
With base a genuine history, [movie] have a mix of comedy and her heartof emotion. Do [character] ([actor]) and [character] ([actor]), the bucolic Yorkshire, belong in the women’? the it establishes (WI), that maintains the traditional homemaking practices. While they as she is precisely dedicated as are other ladies in the team, [character] and [character] bold personalities, and they push the amusement in the WI tedious lectures with regard to the broccoli and the buckrams. Trying to is assembled the money for the local hospital also the things on the WI, the ladies decide they put a new rotation in timetable WI. The women will place nude for the timetable executing the traditional activities as the baking. Remaining genuine in the real history, the film a lot suits with the initial photographs, and provides one joke, it touches upon, that the history.

Four
A parody of famous television line, with protagonist [actor] as [anipsio] LA’s more upstanding police. Does new [character] try bravely it continues uncle indefatigable search s for the law and the order — with a accent in order. But with wacky hipster [character] for collaborator, that’s no so much easy. When the combined badly pair tries a case where he includes evangelist TV and slimy pornographic mogul, the law and the agitation it is the name of game.

Five
When a radical change in the temperature world the oceans cause the mortal storms and they place a new age of ice in the movement, climatologist [character] ([actor]) should competes from the continuous current of Washington in order to saves his son, [character] ([actor]), in the under the zero parts of city of New York. Here the entire cities are torn villages, flooded, and/or frozen, adds always on one from the bigger cinemas of destruction. Even if astonishingly special effect control the cinema, experienced perpetrators as [actor] and [actor] you turn in the solid output that helps they balance outside meteorological mayhem. Astonishingly, [director] uses also the film as vehicle for the intelligent moments the social and political comments, that they make [movie] admirably and enough more amusing than the characteristic overproductions Hollywood.

Six
[movie] it begins when reveal two lowly employees in a actuarial delegation a fraud of two millions and expose him in their head, [character] ([actor]). Unfortunately for their, [character] is this behind the fraud, and invites them in the house of his beaches of islands for the weekend, where it intends it kills their from his contacts of herd. Unfortunately for [character], does the herd decide it rubs him outside this–and begin thus hijinks. Do the employees, [character] ([actor[) and [character] ([actor]), reach and do discover [character] body. Firstly panic and they begin to call the police, but when it in sweeps a contracting part of Islander, [character] and [character] also they discover that the local are so much these don’t notice that [character] is dead. Thus if our heroes can precisely convince each one that [character] is still live because, these can have a marvellous time. Unfortunately, they convince also the herd hitman, which continues taking [character] outside.

Seven
[director] research in love and half his relation with the professional football in this film high-impact, that is developed in game hastiness of adrenaline revealing his last bribery. When legend general [character] shark of Miami ([actor]) is wounded bad in a game, [character] ([actor]) is forced to reach deeply in his bench for [character] ([actor]). [character], aware for what this occasion could mean, beginnings that play a lot in one higher than always before, planting the hopes of championship in the brains of fans of Miami. The exceptional success [character], a athlete which does come contrary to all the similar [character] considers for the game, it makes the bus wonder his time passes. The film transmits a effervescent sense of atmosphere of professional football and characterizes a thinly shaped output from [actor].

Eight
Few elements from the first film remain perpetrator [actor] doesn’t return, and Boyle and screenwriter/novelist [producer] they take the credits of producers this time outside. In the director/co-writer [director] and perpetrator [actor] that bring the initial history in his next reasonable step. The infected from the first film has died outside and England is ready for. The American militarymen bring slow the British citizens behind in London, where a heavy community takes the pieces and tries she returns in the regular life. Do the games [actor] wear, a individual that has lost his spouse but with the children, [character] ([actor]) and [character] of ([actor]), near beginning [director] film. The two children escape at an early date from the heavy community, go from the research for the house of their children’s age, and they discover that mom he is not enough as dead as they thought initially. Does the chaos follow, with their sadist militarymen and that fights and the one the other and infected.

Nine
A publication of live-action popular television line for the children. Because the report of radiation, the four turtles have degraded in the adolescents now, live in the sewers of cities of New York, where they eat the pizza, they speak the effervescent dance, and learn the subterfuges ninja from their guru, [character]. When a team of minors criminal did call receiving havoc of beginning of gang of legs in the city, our heroes in half-shell they link forces with a unabashed journalist of girls in order to they put a end in gang bad ways.

Ten
When his kiss colleague [character] ([actor]) does gain the employee of title for the 17 time in a line, [character] couldn’t attention least. But when the provocative cashier [character] ([actor]) adheres in the personnel of shop, and the fames that are circulating that it only dates their winner of this reward, the stakes are increased immediately. What begins as drawing to gain the heart of [character] morphs late in a much bigger challenge, with the low ambitions [character] that is increased gradually in the serious efforts in the perfection. With [character] with his way, [character] should always prove his value in his superiors, the friends, [character], and his himself. The new director [director] runs through few dangers here, but achieves he delivers the laughters grace in one solid that is flown the comical perpetrators of included [actor], [actor], [actor], [actor], and [actor].

Good luck, and remember; lets be careful out there.

“It’s all Greek to me” Sunday

Here’s how it works. I’ve take a short film synopsis and fed it into Bable Fish, an online translating service. I then translated the synopsis from English into Greek, and then from Greek back into English. The resulting gobbledygook is posted below and your task is to try and identify what movie the passage refers to.

I’m thinking about retiring “All Greek to me” Sunday for a while as I’m not too keen on having two regular weekly features running concurrently. This won’t be the last one however, but it may be the penultimate, so get your guesses in quick.

Made for least from the cost of SUV, the first film of [director] finds 22-years fast employee [character] of attitudes ([actor]) that is called in the work for the precious day far. There it is from the customers that oscillate from upset as insane, in order to we do not report in order to it reports [character] ([actor]), the employee from the television next door of shops. Actually, it was employees intelligent dialogue, that with reports popular-culture, what they raised the [film] in order to they strike the place between production - Xers and they converted the [director] from the school abandonment of films in auteur indie. (USA, 1994)

Last week’s winner was Craig. Which raises an unfortunate problem as his presence on the internet is rather limited to say the least. The best I can do is point you to our poker site which he hasn’t even updated since February of last year. The lazy bastard. He does however have his own Wikipedia page. However according to that it appears he died in an avalanche in 2003. I wonder if his girlfriend knows.

A pretty tricky one this week. Could it be the first “All Greek to me” Sunday to have no correct guesses?

Goodbye, order! Hello, summertime! But for the [character], the [character], [character], and [character], these interruptions are not no day in the beach. That’s because they’re all that function in a club of countries that is founded from [character] and the family! And with the annual talent club’s you present right round the corner, [character] where the competitive instincts. Dump [character] as collaborator and it begins to seek [character] in order to it links her onstage this. The [character] is from convulsed that [character] has agreed with [character]. How it could make this in? The things heat above in the turfs of high society. Will [character] and the [character] realise that they’re it meant it is? Or be already too much late for their in order to a last song joint?

Last week’s winner was Oli. He doesn’t have a blog as such, just a rarely updated Livejournal site. He does however have a excellent online photo gallery which includes a rather wonderful array of floppy faces.

A particularly easy one this week I think:

Madman realises a slaughter in a club, after it hears popular DJ [character]. Disheartened from the compunction, the DJ strikes above a friendship with the former-professor that became impostor because the violent death wife’s (it was killed from madman). The [character] decides him it helps and that searches non-existent holy grail and that conquers the [character], the girl that felt in the love with. (USA, 1991)

The mighty Greg won last time. Which I’m rather pleased about as it gives me the opportunity to point you in the direction of his most recent movie masterpiece. Not only does it have a soundtrack that was written and performed by yours truly, but I also have a starring cameo in it. Check it out, you won’t regret it.

So without further ado, here we go:

Offbeat imagination for a unemployed punk that falls in with a car payment of recuperation. Finds the marginal life of individuals day-off that [title] unexpectedly, until takes a car with trunkful death of energy. Shortly a governmental remuneration has each one in the state in the trace of car with the strange secret. The directorial beginning of [director] is a unanticipated mix of drama, Sci-FI and social satire (1984)

Last week’s glorious winner was Catherine from Farmgirl at Large. Over on her blog this week she has some extremely cool photo’s of pavement art. She also celebrates her two hundredth blog post by talking about her love of Jane Austin (well at least it’s not the bloody Brontë family).

Catherine also appears to end all her posts with a quote from King of the Hill. Marvolous stuff.

This weeks review is a pretty easy one really and has been lifted from one of those “what’s on TV” web pages.

Trying it assembles the money for a game high stake, the enchanting card sharp [character] ([actor]) is mixed with one double-transaction adventuress ([actor]). He’s took also it supports with the vile [character] ([actor]) and the old leathal buddy [actor] of arms [actor] it is presented also. [actor], that played the [character] observation in the initial line of TV of decade ‘50, it is flown as [actor]. A pleasant slice of westerner hokum.

Last week’s winner was Pandora Caitiff, who is one of my legion of transvestite readers. Well, ok there are only two of them but I still bet that’s more than you get. Going for the niche markets, that’s me.

This week Pandora has been musing on the recent revelation that two of the characters from the video game Final Fight have been outed as pre-op transsexuals. They were no doubt trying to win enough prize money to pay for their highly expensive pixel removal operations.

Yet again I’ve failed to buy a TV guide this week so the review is taken from the Guardian website.

Celebrated cinema TV that announced the arrival of exceptional talent. Threatening road 23-years [director] cinema it terrorises the businessman of [actor] with a strike-above old oil-tanker in a distant American national road. Don’t we see the driver of lorry: it’s simply intolerant ( jaws in order that) force fixed in running [actor] from the street.

Last week the mighty Whit was first across the line with the correct answer. It’s a shame he wasn’t the winner the week before as he mentioned me or my blog on three separate occasions that week. I think many of you could learn a valuable lesson in dynamic blog content from Mr Honea.

This week was his son Zane’s birthday and he marked it with a beautifully written post, which is nothing less than we have come to expect from him. That’s the problem with having such a high bar, no one is surprised when you jump over it again.

Today’s review is from a moldy old copy of Heat that I dug out of the office magazine pile.

The expectations were high for part three the routine of web throw the privilege, and it exists abundance that enjoys, specifically the [actor] that makes “bad [character]“, cockily strutting via his styles of fever of night Saturday of Manhattan. But a abundance of criminals is proved that is more really less, grace in the tangled mapping out and a loss of focus. Does the OH, and how much conclusions it makes this sucker have?

The winner last time was Lise. Ordinarily I’d do a round up of whatever the winner was talking about on their blog this week. Unfortunately although I know Lise has a site I’ve forgotten what it is. Therefore I shall be using a special celebrity stand in instead.

This week Lise has been informing us all what not to say to our boss. It all sounds like pretty good advice to me, but I think she missed out “Is that a wig?”. If only I knew then what I know now.

She’s also been answering that age old conundrum of whether you should tip bad service. I got a couple of tips for you Lise: Don’t eat yellow snow, and never tie your shoelace in a revolving door. Ah the old ones are the best ones.

I didn’t get chance to pick up a actual guide this week so today’s review is from the Guardian newspaper website. No cheating and going over there.

The role that [actor] was given birth it plays: his fencer of 17 century has the heart of lion, the soul of poet and a big nose that, in case [actor], requires only the secondary additive increase. The [director] directs tragic [author] for the unselfish love [character] for his beautiful cousin [character] in the epic scale, with the enormous battles and a thin eye for the placements and the suit. (1990)

The winner last time was Phil from A Family Runs Through It. Phil has been waxing philosophical on the finite nature of childhood and the importance of crafting memories with his children. His kids meanwhile are oblivious to their dad’s ponderings and are busy building snowforts in the garden. To them their childhood seems endless, but there future selves are lucky they have a father as thoughtful as Phil

“It’s all Greek to me” Sunday

Listen, I don’t care if you don’t like this new regular feature, we are going to keep doing it and keep doing it until you DO like it. OK? It’s a bit like broccoli, but without the foilc acid.

Like last time I’ve take a short film synopsis from the listings page of a TV guide and fed it into Bable Fish, an online translating service. I then translated the synopsis from English into Greek, and then from Greek back into English. The resulting gobbledygook is posted below and your task is to try and identify what movie the passage refers to.

Today’s review is from Jan 12-18th edition of TV Choice, and is a particularly easy one I think.

Touching, resourceful drama. The [actor] plays tortured time superior employee FedEx which plane is shattered in the Pacific Ocean. The He’s washed on a island deserted and have only his spirits and certain parcels FedEx in order to him they keep live. It’s a brilliant and moved film with the [actor] that surpasses as soul that is submitted in much more by one dramatic natural transformation. (2000, US)

Last week’s winner was Carla from Blah Blah Blog-o-licious, and what a week she has had. Not only did she become reigning world champion of “It’s all Greek to me” Sunday, but she also persuaded her husband to pose on her blog wearing a tiara. If success can do that for Carla, just think what it could do for you!
