Terrorism and Kabab Review

Terrorism and Kebab - Wikipedia

★★★★☆

Release Date: June 11th, 1992

    Director: Sherif Arafa

Main Cast: Adel Imam, Kamal Sheenawi, Yousra, Ahmed Rateb


Terrorism and Kababs is a movie following a father and husband named Ahmad who accidentally puts himself into a situation where he has no alternative but to go along with it. Ahmad's wife is a stay at home mom who complains about many things, while Ahmad works for little to nothing, and barley can keep his family afloat. One day he needs to get paperwork done for his children and spends a tremendous amount of time looking for the right man who can help Ahmad. Eventually Ahmad get's fed up and starts a fight which leads to him in possession of a gun, and hostages. Throughout the movie we meet four other characters who join Ahmad and become the 'terrorists' who ultimately have to start meeting the demands of the hostages, such as fetching them 'kabobs.' For the rest of the movie we follow the five terrorists scrambling to meet these demands. 

I enjoyed this movie a lot. I thought it was really lighthearted humor and was easy to follow. The comedy reminds me a lot of silent comedies, with more funny actions than verbal jokes. Out of 2.9 thousand IMDb voters, the movie was given a 7.7/10. Out of those voters, 17.5% of them gave the movie its highest rating of a 10/10. and 1.6% gave the movie its lowest rating of a 1/10. I was not surprised with the a 7.7/10 rating, just because I don't thin the movie really stood out to me, but there's was nothing that would make it a bad movie to me. The reason I knocked it down a star is because of the quality of picture was not good to me, which made it a little unenjoyable to watch and hard to focus. But other than that the movie itself was great!

★★★☆☆ Release date: November 22, 2023 Director: Shady Hanna  Producers: Tanya Nasr  Main Cast: Junaid Zeineldine, Rola Beksmati, Abboudy Mallah What did I mess is a romantic comedy about a couple named Naylah and Fares who want to get married and settle down, but both have different time lines for these goals. While Naylah was ready and wanting to get married, Fares wasn't ready for that financial commitment- or wanting kids and needed to wait. Because the timing wasn't working for them, they ended up breaking up. A few months later at a dinner, party, Fares is encountered with Naylah but with a new, handsome, very rich- and ready to get married, named Sylvio. This, predictably made Fares very jealous and that led to the rest of the night, and movie I chaos. I gave this movie a three star because I didn't hate it but it wasn't my favorite. Although awfully predictable and cheesy, I find these romantic comedies to be very comforting. I think there's something about a...
