Classic Review – Some Like it Hot (1959)
I was lucky enough to see this at the London Film Festival, where the film was preceded by a (Zoom) interview with the co-directors and producer. It gave some background information, including the score, new animation techniques, and the challenges posed by the pandemic, that really helped to appreciate the film more. (Seriously, there are […]

The Theory of Everything – Film İncelemesi
İçimde hangi atam konuşuyor? Hem aklımda hem de bedenimde, aynı anda ayrılamam. Bu yüzden tek kişi olamıyorum. Kendimi aynı anda sayısız şey olarak hissedebiliyorum. Fazla büyük usta kalmadı. Zamanımızın gerçek kötülüğü budur. Kalbin yolları gölgelerle kaplanmış. Yararsız görünen seslere kulak vermeliyiz. Okul duvarları, asfalt ve refah reklamlarının uzun kanalizasyon boruları ile dolu beyinlere, böceklerin vızıltıları […]
If Tom Hardy is determined to play only inaudible characters from now on, might I suggest he grab a corncob pipe and reboot Popeye?

Now I’ve watched all the Final Destination films, here are my final thoughts. I was initially drawn to the franchise due to the interesting concept. In too many horror films the villain is something solid and escapable whereas here you’ll get caught eventually no matter what. What started out as an interesting concept quickly became […]

Butter on the Latch – #MovieReview
Looking to be frightened I chose Wes Craven’s Shocker. I had never seen it and while watching it, had no recollection. I wasn’t too shocked or frightened. Then again, as a pre-senior, I’ve experienced scarier parts of life. I’m sorry, it’s hard to watch movies nowadays and see the stupid shit, based on how […]

Nostalgia Review: Doctor Dolittle (1998)
Something vital occurs when an actor discovers their perfect persona – an extrapolation of their whole comic world that carries an entire world along with it. So it was with Billy Madison, Adam Sandler’s film about a developmentally challenged twenty-something who retakes every school grade in twenty-four weeks to make himself eligible to inherit his […]
