Fred Zinnemann’s penultimate film was an adaptation of a memoir that seemed almost impossible to translate to the big screen – Lillian Hellman’s Pentimento, released in 1973, which describes her relationship with a socialist activist named Julia, a character that several critics suggested was fabricated. In the opening scenes of Zinnemann’s film, Hellman, played by […]
TILLIE’s PUNCTURED ROMANCE (1914) isn’t highly rated — but we should give Sennett some credit for jumping into the feature film racket with both flapshod feet, even when he could have had little idea of what a feature comedy would be like (nobody had made one). There’s also something poetically apt about Sennett co-directing with […]

Duel on this! This was Ridley Scott’s directorial debut back in 1977. A stylish historical drama adapted from Joseph Conrad’s short story The Duel (1908). Let’s do this! The Duellists As you’d expect from a famous director who went on to produce classics such as Alien (1979) and Blade Runner (1982), this film is good. […]
The Duellists: En Garde! It’s Ridley Scott’s Historical Drama Debut
Kapitalist düzen o kadar sinsi bir şekilde bizi köleleştirdi ki yaşarken artık düşünmez olduk. Bize ne sunuluyorsa onu aldık, bizden ne isteniyorsa onu yaptık ama hiç sorgulamadık. Üreticiliğimiz köreldi, bizim yerimize düşünüldü. Bizi gereksiz bir rekabete soktular. Sürekli yarıştık ama bu rekabetin sonunu, bize kaybettirdiklerini hiç düşünmedik. İhtiyacımız olmayan şeyler için zamanımızı ve enerjimizi harcadık.
Bir Sisteme Başkaldırı Destanı: Dövüş Kulübü
Merhaba filmseverler. Bugün bahsedeceğim filmin adı “Brother (2000)” değil. Yalnızca “Brother” (-ki siz bunu zaten fark ettiniz). Filme kült deme sebebim de buradan geliyor. İnternette arattığımda film hakkında bilgi bulmakta çok zorlandım. Hatta hiç bulamadım bile. “Brother (2000)” yazdığım zaman bazı sahneleri çıkmaya başladı ve dedim ki: “İyi ki filmi bilen ve sevenler varmış.” Türkçeye […]
En Baba Kült Film: Brother (2000)
Çok uzun bir zaman sonra izlediğim ilk normal 🙂 film oldu. İki sene önce gösterime girdiğinde izleme listeme almıştım ancak anlamadığım bi şekilde o zamandan beri bir türlü fırsat olmadı. Nasıl olduysa geçtiğimiz hafta sonu bir anda aklıma geldi ve izlemeye karar verdim. Enteresan ki internette altyazılı versiyonu bulamadım. Ve ancak Vuzee üzerinden orijinal alt […]

‘PVT Chat’ Trailer: ‘Uncut Gems’ Star Julia Fox Is a Cam-Girl Femme Fatale in Psychosexual Noir
On Amazon Prime, there is a series of films by Steve McQueen under the title Small Axe; they are related in that they are based on the real-life experiences of London’s West Indian community in the recent past. Mangrove is the first film in the series. The Oscars and the Emmys are perhaps more invested […]
Hubie Halloween ⭐️⭐️ I’d say it’s even money if Sandler tries to make the worst comedy movie ever. Surely it would be funny if his team tried, and maybe the reality is they attempt to make a movie so bad that it’s meant to be funnier? How does one set out to make an intentionally […]
Will Adam Sandler Really Try To Make The Worst Comedy Movie Ever?
After Christine Collins (Angelina Jolie)’s only son Walter (Gattlin Griffith) goes missing, she reaches out to the LAPD to help her find him. They find a boy fitting her son’s description five months later, but she insists that he is not her son. This is a film I was always aware of since its release […]

The In-and-Out Bandit – Honest Thief (2020)
I’m not going to lie—I almost didn’t make a top ten list of my favorite films released in 2020. It was a weird year with a lot of movies that I enjoyed but wasn’t frequently blown away by, not to mention the fact that I have a pile of films I haven’t gotten to watch […]
Höstsonaten: Güz Sonatı (İnceleme) Öncelikle Ingmar Bergman sinemasına bakmamız gerekiyor; 1918 yılında İsveç’in Uppsala kentinde doğan Ingmar Bergman çocukluğu trajedik olaylar yüzüne sıkıntılı geçer, bir nevi “Sevgisiz” büyümüştür. Filmlerinde hep Tanrı’yı aramıştır. Her ne kadar babası papaz olsa da hazıra konmamış ve hep bir arayış içerisinde olmuş ve sorgulamıştır ki bu Kış Işığı filmine bakılırsa […]
Höstsonaten: Güz Sonatı (İnceleme)

Filmimizin orijinal adı ‘In to the Wild ‘ Türkçeye ‘ Özgürlük Yolu ‘ olarak çevrilmiş. Filmin […]
“Bence kariyer denen şey bir 20. yüzyıl icadıdır ve ben bir kariyer istemiyorum.”
The Last Days Of Emma Blank (De laatste dagen van Emma Blank) Netherlands (2009) Dir. Alex van Warmerdam Bosses seem to take the purview of employment to ludicrous levels in what they ask of their staff because “they are paying them” whilst acting as a law unto themselves, then can’t understand why they are not […]
The Last Days Of Emma Blank (De laatste dagen van Emma Blank)
They called them “B-Movies:” genre films (westerns, noir, horror, sci-fi, etc.) made on shoestring budgets with leads played by actors, not stars; directors who were journeymen, not auteurs. The 1950s were their heyday, and they played great on a rainy Saturday afternoon. They looked disposable then but watching them now is like discovering a cultural […]
Thanks to my parents I watched my fair share of epic films growing up. The big three that we would watch at least once a year were Ben-Hur (1959), The Ten Commandments (1956) and Spartacus (1960). The latter is set out as a (very loose) retelling of the story of Spartacus (a real person by […]
My Thoughts on: Spartacus (1960)
We all have our guilty movie pleasures, and cheesy, ridiculous thrillers certainly check that box for many people. But while “Fatale,” a new thriller from director Deon Taylor and writer David Loughery (the pair who also helmed 2019’s “The Intruder”), does the bare minimum to hold the audience’s attention, it doesn’t commit to the genre […]
It seemed like it should have been the perfect vacation. Savannah (Claire van der Boom), her husband Brad (Todd Lasance), and their daughter Aria (Molly Wright) travel to an island resort off the coast of Australia. It’s the resort that Savannah used to vacation at when she was a child and this is a chance […]
