Officer Cardillo (Emile Hirsch) started the day off clothed in a bathtub, unable to commit suicide because his PTSD was a little too disturbing. 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 […]

Let Him Go: An Excellent Thriller Featuring Solid Performances From Diane Lane and Kevin Costner
Y tu mama También. Y tu mama También. Okunuşu ne güzel. Ispanyolcanın güzelliğini unutmuştum, o baskın i’lerle bağrışlarla çağırışlarla yeniden hatırladım şimdi. Hikayesi de öyle, canlı, hareketli çok yükseliyor, duygular çok yoğunlaşıyor. Karakterleri gibi toy başlayıp olgunlaşan ve sonunda buruk biten bir film. Zaten bütün iyi gençlik filmleri biraz buruk olmak zorunda aslında. Bu konuyla ile ilgili […]
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 5 out of 5. The beauty of black-and-white cinema is undeniable, yet it’s largely ignored by the new generation who seemingly don’t even want to watch a film that’s over five years old. This is why films like “The Artist” or David Fincher’s “Mank” serve as a reminder that even the entire spectrum […]

There is no doubt that DNA plays a significant role in shaping the character of a person, while proper nurturing is like organic food – it has a positive impact on building up an important foundation in a […]
Film Review: “Let Him Go” (2020)
⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4 out of 5. There is no such promise that life will be easy. Nothing is presented on a silver platter for us. Each opportunity must be earned and even worked hard for. Sadly, when hardship hits the younger generation, they forget about everything not realizing that this is a temporary obstacle they […]
Film Review: “The Life Ahead” (2020)
⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4 out of 5. We never understand the true value of our unique ability to see, hear, and smell the scent of life. And we can’t even imagine what one goes through when the ability to hear suddenly begins to disappear. Reuben (Riz Ahmed) is a drummer who travels across the state along […]
Film Review: “Sound of Metal” (2019)
Ne enterasan ve garip bir yılı geride bırakmaya hazırlanıyoruz değil mi? Hiç tahmin etmeyeceğimiz yeni alışkanlıklar, terimler girdi hayatımıza. Umarım daha güzel günler göreceğimiz yeni bir yıl olur hepimiz için. Dizi dünyası için de bu beklenmedik olaylar farklı etkiler yarattı. Ertelenen setler/çekimler, anlık olarak değişen yayın takvimleri. Evet belki beklenenin altında ilerleyen bir sonbahar sezonuna […]

Éric Rohmer 1971’de kendisiyle yapılan bir röportajda¹, “Filmlerim tamamen kurgu eserlerdir, sosyolog olduğumu iddia etmiyorum (…) Sadece kendim icat ettiğim belirli vakaları alıyorum, bunlar bilimsel değildir, hayal ürünüdürler” der. Ancak en fantastik olanından en korkunç olanına kadar her film, içinde mutlaka toplumsal bir gerçeklik barındırır. Film ile izleyici arasında bağ kuran da bu gerçeğe yakın…
I’m still seeing blurry from crying because I felt that I related to Allen Ginsberg’s soul. I am not sure that I am a fan of his poetry style, but I understood generally, and more than Leaves of Grass for that matter, what he was talking about because I knew “the lingo” and I […]
Movie: Evita Release Date: December 25, 1996 Director: Alan Parker Starring: Madonna, Antonio Banderas, Jonathan Pryce, Jimmy Nail. Tag Lines: “The Most Anticipated Motion Picture Event of The Year.” Relevance: I was born and raised in a small city in Northeastern Pennsylvania. If you are familiar with the sitcom “The Office,” then you know the […]
Actually watching this movie turned out to be something of an adventure. I had it on a streaming service, but when I paused it about halfway through and then returned to it, it was gone. (Evidently the streaming service happened by coincidence to drop it from its service at just that time.) That necessitated finding […]
I think the first mention of this title was in a television broadcast of some kind. I then found it on Netflix and decided why not. At least I knew I was not in for a series. And because I am a very sensitive person, I could not help, actually cry, twice while viewing […]
Since I started seeing advertising for this title, I have been wanting to see it. I just love a magical, witchy story. Signing up for HBOMax be damned; besides, I could probably get away with a week free and cancel before the week is up. It’s part of my new attitude: I can’t take my money with […]
Better than expected , but then again, I love this genre of movie: end-of-the-world, small guy versus big government. And who could resist yummy Justin Timberlake? A quick research and development revealed Johnny Galecki – another known name – was in this movie also, though I can’t remember his character. Additionally, Matt Bomer was […]
Movie: Tootsie Release Date: December 17, 1982 Director: Sydney Pollack Starring: Dustin Hoffman, Jessica Lange, Dabney Coleman, Teri Garr, Charles Durning, Bill Murray. Tag Lines: “Little did this desperate, out of work actor know when he secretly auditioned for a female role that he’d become the hottest star on television. Not even the girl he’s […]

It had to come out sometime. So this is about five teenage mutants. They live together in an abandoned hospital overseen by a doctor (Alice Braga), where she tries to raise them to control their powers.
