This is a movie I can't do justice to. Of all three Niki Iliev movies so far, 'Knockout' represents his best work. I really enjoyed the idea of an ex-fighter with a mental disability who earns his living out of music gigs, his old hobby. I have to admit, there is always something special about mentally troubled characters.
Gary Dourdon, without doubt, pulls off a fantastic Oscar-worthy performance. I have watched a few of his movies, yes, he has a charisma, but this is arguably his most profound one. The character of Aaron makes him reveal his true talents.
Good directing. I really liked the scene with Zhana walking on the streets of Bansko, as beautiful as she is, creating an interesting contrast with the ruins of a collapsed building seen in the background.
And the music is just awesome!
Bulgarian cinema is reviving. Slowly, obviously, but we have faith. Please, continue with the good work. Hopefully, Bulgarian cinema will get on the radar for those movie fans who have a sense for nicely told stories and terrific acting.

I watched the two series of "Jericho" but was disappointed to understand that the show has been canceled because of poor rating results. What a pity. Luckily for the fans the story continues in a series of comic books. Although the comics are really great I wish I had the opportunity to watch the show on TV but I guess I have to live with that. The show follows interesting plot that tells a captivating story and tackling some controversial issues referring to politics, government control and corporation affairs. I really liked almost all the characters, especially Jake, Heather, Hawkins, Eric and Dale. Emily is nice, although I don't think that the choice of an actress is quite correct. Don't get me wrong, Ashley Scott is great but isn't she too supermodel-beautiful for a post-apocalypse TV drama? On the other hand, Heather as leading female character seems to fit perfectly. As I see it, she is charming and down to earth. What I slightly disliked about the show is that it does not describe truthful picture of a post-apocalyptic world. Characters were not as desperate and hopeless as they should be, knowing that so many people have died in the nuclear blasts. I think they were not convincing enough. All things considered, the team has done a great job. The show just became exceedingly engaging and conspiratorial in the second series and they cancelled it. What a waste! To be honest, I am tired of getting to like TV series that turn out to be canceled eventually. It is so cruel to the fans.
