Festive Movie Marathon 2020
BoJack Horseman Christmas Special: Sabrina’s Christmas Wish (2014). While this is slightly cheating with the formula I utilise for this Christmas blogging series, I felt this episode needed to be noted. Also my BoJack-mad sister suggested I review this episode. It’s a pretty standard BoJack episode but just centered around Christmas. Todd (Aaron Paul) and […]

The Lighthouse (2019)
Two lighthouse keepers, Thomas Wake (Willem Dafoe) and Thomas Howard (Robert Pattinson) try to maintain their sanity while living on a remote and mysterious New England island in the 1890s. My sister recommended me this film and insisted I watched it when it popped up on Amazon Prime. I’d heard about how much attention this […]

First Cow (2019): Bozuk Süt

The Christmas Chronicles 2
A year ago, I was pleasantly surprised by The Christmas Chronicles. Here was Kurt Snake Plisskin Russell as an uber cool Santa and they weren’t buying him. I didn’t think he’d make a very good Santa Claus and was wrong. So, here we are a year later and Netflix is delivering a sequel with Mrs. […]

A Rainy Day in New York (2019) Movie Review By D.M. Anderson
While nobody thinks Woody Allen has another Annie Hall in him, A Rainy Day in New York is a dull and forgettable film by a director still in love with the persona he’s now too old to perform himself. Like an aging classic rocker, he seems content to pay the bills by playing the hits with a backup band who weren’t even born during his prime.

This Boy’s Life
This Boy’s Life is probably one of my top ten favorite movies. I’ve seen it several times, including again just recently. It certainly has an all-star cast, featuring Robert De Niro, a very young Leonardo DiCaprio, and Ellen Barkin. This Boy’s Life is the movie version of writer Tobias Wolff’s book of the same name, […]

Black Beauty
By John Corrado ★★½ (out of 4) Anna Sewell’s 1877 novel Black Beauty, which was written from the perspective of a horse and had an animal rights message that was revelatory for its time, is one of the biggest selling books of all time and has been adapted for the screen a number of times […]

Bir Başkadır
Netflix’in Türkiye şubesinde ilk sıralarda yer alan, Ferdi Özbeğen’i yeniden canlandırmaya çalışan fenomen dizi Bir Başkadır, çok yakın bir zamanda yayınlandı.

Hillbilly Elegy (2020)
I’m not sure what any of us expected from Hillbilly Elegy, but if it was a good film, it seems to have been something of a tall order, and one that simply could not be met in any conceivable way by a film that seems, more than anything else, entirely unnecessary to begin with. Naturally, […]

Sound of Metal
Ruben (Riz Ahmed) is a heavy metal drummer. He and girlfriend Lou (Olivia Cooke) are in a two-person band and they just love to bang on shit and make noise. They travel the country in their Airstream; it’s not a glamorous life or a well-remunerated one (yet, there are talks of an album), but they’re […]

Embrace of the Serpent (Kolombiya)
Kolombiya’lı yönetmen Ciro Guerra imzalı Embrace of the Serpent filmini izlemeye başlarken içimden dedim ki Herzog’un o çok sevdiğim Fitzcarraldo filmine benzer bir film herhalde. Her ne kadar yönetmenin bu film için batı ve Amazon hikaye anlatıcılığı arasında bir köprü inşa etme denemesi olduğunu söylemesi bana Tarkovski’nin bu işte, yani film yapma sanatında deney veya […]
