Unbelievably, one of my favorite childhood films turned 40 this year. I grew up watching The Blues Brothers and it’s remained one of my favorite comfort movies to watch (the kind that I’ve seen so many times I can quote most of it). Not too long ago I rewatched the film for the first time […]
My Thoughts on: The Blues Brothers (1980)
Continuing the Frankenstein marathon, I promptly moved on to the fourth film in the series, The Ghost of Frankenstein (1942), a decent enough film, though it’s more than obvious that the story is starting to go off the rails just slightly. This is not only the first Frankenstein film without Boris Karloff involved in any […]

CLASSIC MOVIE SCENES #14 – RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK (1981) – GUN VERSUS SWORD!
It’s an interesting question. As I’m sure you’re all aware, I love a good movie. I love a bad movie. And I love movies of all genres. With it being October and Halloween being just over a week away, I thought it would be interesting to figure out what my favorite horror movies are. I […]
What’s Your Favorite Scary Movie?
Sweet Taste of Souls is about a group of friends who are on the way to perform a gig in their band when they come across a pie shop that is much stranger than it seems. On the way to the gig, one of the band members gets hungry and wants to stop in a small secluded town in the woods. Probably not the best idea but who would know that right?

“Wherever he is, I hope there is a golf course,” fellow James Bond portrayer Daniel Craig said.
Daniel Craig, Spike Lee, Edgar Wright, and More Remember Sean Connery
An insecure single mother and her erratic son read a random bedtime story for children and quickly find out the book has invited a third presence in their dark, lonely home. Claustrophobic, remorseless, and brutal even to the innocent, Australian Director Jennifer Kent’s expressionistic creation doesn’t let up. All places of comfort – a mother’s […]
Reely Bernie Horror Fest: The Babadook – 2014
4 Shots From 4 Films is just what it says it is, 4 shots from 4 of our favorite films. As opposed to the reviews and recaps that we usually post, 4 Shots From 4 Films lets the visuals do the talking. This October, we’ve been using 4 Shots from 4 Films to pay tribute […]

Filmmaker Rodrigo Sorogoyen takes an epic, elliptical approach to intimate material that could’ve been exploitative, but is instead deeply humane.
‘Madre’ Review: A Mother’s Unraveling Sparks an Elusive Connection in This Powerful Drama
Sacha Baron Cohen’s outrageous 2006 comedy “Borat,” about a fictional Kazakhstani reporter traveling through United States, put the Central Asian nation in the consciousness of most Americans for the first time. Back then, Kazakhstan’s government had an understandable reaction to the comedian’s crude and stereotypical portrayal of the ex-Soviet republic. Now, 16 years later, with…
You’ve Laughed at ‘Borat,’ Now Watch These Five Films from Kazakhstan
It’s in a wind-battered 1840s Lyme Regis that we meet Kate Winslet’s Mary Anning. She plies her trade as a palaeontologist, recovering fossils on the shore of the Jurassic Coast, finding solace in her craft. Yet it’s a life of repression that she lives, from her ailing mother who watches her every move, and from […]
Ammonite Review (BFI London Film Festival 2020)
The big news this month is that Respect will no longer be getting released in January. It’s been moved back so drop it from your Oscar predictions. Here are my current predictions. Take them with grain of salt and all the rest. The more and more I think about it, the more annoyed I am […]
Lisa’s Oscar Predictions For October
Now, it may be controversial, but I’m not all that bothered by Halloween… I’ve only ever been trick or treating once, I’m not a fan of horror films and although I like to try to get into the festive spirit, Halloween has just never been a huge thing in my life. Saying that, this year […]
8 Crime Shows to Watch this Halloween
Acclaimed director Pedro Almodóvar’s latest The Human Voice – a short but sharp film adaptation of the theatre production of the same name – hinges on its central performance. Lucky for him then that he has Tilda Swinton fronting this (almost) one-woman show. Because it’s Swinton’s whirlwind turn that really sells this off-kilter tale of […]
The Human Voice Review (BFI London Film Festival 2020)
Tutuklu olduğu cezaevinden kurtulmak için, deli taklidi yaparak akıl hastanesine yatırılan McMurphy’nin, hastanenin hemşiresi Ratched ile olan çatışmalarını anlatıyor. Filmin akışı, görüntüler ve verdiği duygular o kadar hissedilir şekildeydi ki; bazen heyecanlanıyor, bazen duygulanıyordum. Oldukça eğlenceli oluşu da cabası. Filmde McMurphy karakterinin ilerleyişi de oldukça etkiliydi. Umursamaz ve hastalarla alay ederek başlayan hikaye, onların bir […]
İZLERKEN DELİRTEN FİLM: GUGUK KUŞU
Geçtiğimiz hafta, başlıyor dediğimiz 31. Ankara Film Festivali, dün gece yapılan mütevazı kapanış töreni ile sona erdi. Bu sene festivalde, ister istemez filmlerden çok korona konuştuk. Festivali takip edenler, takip etmeyenler ya da edemeyenler, gelen konuklar ve jüriler, gelemeyen konuklar ve jüriler, salonların ne kadar kalabalık ve güvenli olduğu, hep konuşulan konular arasındaydı. Her film […]
