As the powerhouse explains, a neck injury enhanced her demented turn as Shirley Jackson. But other than that, Moss insists she’s no method actor.

Sylvie’s Love
Picture it: 1950s Harlem. A young man is walking by a record store. Through the window he spots a beautiful young woman behind the cash register, visibly enjoying an episode of I Love Lucy. Something urges him inside – he grabs the Help Wanted sign out of the window just to have something to say. […]

John’s Horror Corner: Sputnik (2020)
MY CALL: This is top-notch science fiction, complete with horror like action and a fantastic monster, and gift-wrapped in an atmospheric thriller. Huge recommendation. I loved this! MORE MOVIES LIKE Sputnik: The best double-feature suggestion I have for this would be Life (2017). Distantly related, much less pithy, and more to the tune of grimy […]

Coraci: The Wedding Singer (1998)
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 […]

Cassie (Carey Mulligan) was once a promising young woman, a fact her parents take the opportunity to remind her of every morning at breakfast.

The Office (US) (2005-2013)
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 […]

Sputnik 2020. Find Earth and Reep.
Sputnik is a film I knew very little about before watching it. Okay, I guess the title is a bit of a giveaway but I hadn’t watched any trailers or read any reviews. It was just the simplicity of the poster above that made me believe this film was worth watching, and when that happens, […]

Allen: Manhattan (1979)
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 […]

Rahatsız Ediciliğin Doruk Noktası: Climax
Sinema izleyicisine karşı takınılması gerektiği tavır sinema tarihi boyunca tartışma konusu olmuştur. Film, izleyicisine ne tür bir deneyim sunmalıdır? Onu mutlu mu, yoksa mutsuz mu etmelidir? Filmlerin amacı duyguyu yansıtmak mıdır, yoksa izleyicinin kendi içindekine dokunmak mıdır? Sinema, estetiği itibariyle iyi ve güzel masalsı bir dille mi anlatmalıdır, yoksa bizi suratımıza yumruğu mu patlatmalıdır? Gaspar […]

Klişelerin Başarılı Birleşimi
İsmet Özel “Modernlik insan yaşamına yaraşır bir hayata manidir”[1] der. Bunun Amerika’yı yeniden keşfetmek olduğunu söylemek haksızlık olacaksa da modernitenin bizim yaşamımıza getirdikleri ve götürdükleri sonucunda yaşamımızın aldığı hâlin ne olduğu meselesinin her bireyin zihnini kurcalaması gerektiğini ve kafası çalışan pek çoklarının da zaten kurcaladığını düşünüyorum. Açık olan bir şey var ki bu mesele Oslo, […]

Çeviride Kaybolmak
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 […]

Dugan: Happy Gilmore (1996)
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 […]

The Films of 2020: Mank (David Fincher)
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 […]
