Locked Down (2021), Chiwetel Ejiofor, Anne Hathaway, Warner Brothers Locked Down has some memorable moments. Yet, overall, director Doug Limans romance/comedy about a couple’s attempt at a high-risk, high-stakes jewellery heist during the Coronavirus pandemic isn’t great. Starring Anne Hathaway, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Ben Kingsley; the most memorable scenes for me feature Kingsley and Ben Stiller. […]
LOCKED DOWN (2021): The Things I Liked…
Disney dropped a new trailer today (view below) for “Raya and the Last Dragon” (opening in theaters and streaming on Disney+ March 5), and last week screened 30 minutes of footage for select journalists. It’s very evident that the animation studio is doubling down on cultural diversity with the badass warrior princess from Southeast Asia.…

After perfecting his comic persona in Billy Madison, and relaxing it slightly in Happy Gilmore, Adam Sandler experimented with dissociating its two component parts in his next two films. Where he regressed even further into toddler tantrums with The Waterboy, he explored his sentimental side in The Wedding Singer, which remains his only really viable […]

On the ocean with friends. So this is about a celebrated author (Meryl Streep).

Atlantic Cruise for an Author – Let Them All Talk (2020)
A motley group of office workers go through hilarious misadventures at the Scranton, Pennsylvania, branch of the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company. While I didn’t see the show during its original run, I was aware of its cultural identity and that it launched the careers of John Krasinski (A Quiet Place) et al. I was put […]
While they’re renowned for their sparkling dialogue and witty repartee, Woody Allen’s films don’t tend to be especially remarkable for their visual beauty. Manhattan is one of the few exceptions that proves that rule, however, since Allen’s collaboration with cinematographer Gordon Willis made this the most visually ravishing film of his entire career. Rather than […]
Böyle söyleyince hangi film hakkında konuşacağımı tahmin edip edemeyeceğinizi bilmiyorum. Ancak bildiğim bir şey var o da Türkiye’de filmlerinin isimlerinin oldukça kötü çevrildiği. Meşhur “filmlerin adı motamot çevrilmiyor, filmin konusuna da bakıyorlar” geyiğini döndürmeye de gerek yok, bu filmi izleyen herhangi biri “Çeviride Kaybolmak”ın filmin konusu bakımından da filmin isminin kelime anlamı bakımından da “Bir […]

I’ve said it many times on this site but faith-based films are perhaps the toughest genre of films to pull off. What is a pure and powerful testimony to one may come off as cloying and preachy to another. So often the ministry gets in the way of telling a good story. It is this […]
[REVIEW] TULSA or A Modern-Day Pollyanna
Michael Önder’in 2017 yılındaki ilk uzun metraj filmi olan Taksim Hold’em gezi parkı eylemlerine karşı toplumun hemen her kesiminin duruşunu yansıtmış. Tek bir mekanda bir poker masası etrafında otuzlu yaşlarında olan bireylerin politik söylemlerin yanı sıra hayat içinde yürüttükleri oyunu izliyoruz. Bu filmi izleyince aklıma ilk gelen içerik olarak çok daha sert bir eleştiri olan Suat […]

Billy Madison was Adam Sandler’s most vital film, but Happy Gilmore was his most polished. In fact, Billy Madison nailed Sandler’s comic persona so purely and perfectly that it was almost a dead end, forcing Sandler to scramble for ways to reinvent and reimagine his toddler persona over his next few films. Billy Madison was […]
As I watched David Fincher’s latest film, Mank, my main feeling was one of wanting to like the film more than I actually did. I mean, really, the film sounds like it was specifically made to appeal to me. It’s a film about the Golden Age of Hollywood, which is an era that has always […]
