Film Review – The New Mutants (2020)
Over the weekend we should have celebrated Chadwick Boseman’s 44th birthday. It probably would have been mostly unremarkable and easily missed. There would have been a trending hashtag on Twitter, #HappyBdayBlackPanther #HBDChad. And Chris Evans or Mark Ruffalo or someone in the Marvel family would have had tweeted a sarcastic birthday wish mentioning Royalty or […]

Bu salgın başladı başlayalı en çok zaman geçirdiğim uygulama açık ara netflix’dir. Tüketilebilecek dizi, film, belgesel herşeyi izleyip bein connect ve blu tv’yi sömürdüğüm bu günlerde yine de netflix’de gözden kaçırdığım bir kaç film ve dizi olduğu gerçeğiyle yüzleşip son yasağı yine eski dost netflix ile beraber geçirdim. Aşağıda yapmış olduğum sıralama kendi beğeni sıralamam […]
Netflix’de Gözden Kaçan 10 Müthiş Film!!
Derviş Zaim´in büyük eseri, Tabutta Rövaşata Korona virüsü hala tehlikeli, hala bulaşıcı, hala can kıyıcı. Ancak film izlemek de hala zevkli ve öğretici. Bu yazıda türkçe yapımlara ağırlık verdim. Başlayalım KIŞ UYKUSU Emekli tiyatrocu Aydın, Kapadokya’da babasından kalan bir oteli işletmeye başlar. Kendini toplumdan nispeten izole eden bu süreci kendi içine dönerek yaşayan adamın hayatındaki […]
“Hepimiz bazen aşkta şanssızızdır. Aşkta işler kötüyse koşuya çıkarım. Koşunca vücut sıvı kaybeder böylece gözyaşı için vücutta sıvı kalmaz…” Sıcacık bir Kar-Wai Wong filmi olan Chungking Express’in hakkında bu kadar az şey yazılmasına hep şaşmışımdır. Belki de yazmaya iten bu oldu. Konunun işlenişi ile müziğin uyumu filme daha bir anlam katmış. Filmin iki bölümü var. […]

I have been a huge fan of Netflix’s “The Crown” for almost 3 years now. The show has been consistent right from the start, and it gave us plenty to cheer for: lavish sets, beautiful costumes, terrific acting, and a masterful direction. Now that season 4 is finally here, I can happily report that the […]

Film Review – Leaving Las Vegas (1995)
With Hollywood’s biggest blockbusters shelved, our living rooms were treated to a rich year of cinema.
When it comes to musicals (and comedies, for that matter) things are very simple for me. Either I hate them with a passion, or I really like them. Indeed, there are some great classics (even…
‘The Prom’ Is Imperfect, But Full of Feel-good Extravagance

He’s not exactly excited to spend his day evacuating people who don’t want to be evacuated ahead of hurricane in Puerto Rico, and he’s sure as heck not thrilled to be […]
