With Hollywood’s biggest blockbusters shelved, our living rooms were treated to a rich year of cinema.

When it comes to musicals (and comedies, for that matter) things are very simple for me. Either I hate them with a passion, or I really like them. Indeed, there are some great classics (even…

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

İlk izlediğimde o kadar nefret ettim ki bu filmden. Hatta bi yanım hala delilerce nefret ediyor Godard’ın kendini beğenmiş erkekliğinden ama ilk bakışta göze çarpan seksizmin öfkesi geçince, toplumsal eleştirilerindeki inceliğe ve ustalığa göz yummak da kolay olmuyor. Gerçekten çok ince çok zekice ve çok orjinal. Ufak bi zekilik bile beni çok heyecanlandırır ve düşündükçe üslubunu […]

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 […]

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4 out of 5. We are always amazed when we see a beautiful family passing by. Their charm, ease, self-control, and readiness to share happiness with others is enviable. And their financial success serves as the cherry on top of the cake when they leave their houses. But what happens when the same […]

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 […]

⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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 […]

⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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 […]

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 […]

In 1968, there were dreamers, and Giorgio Rosa wasn’t the only one, but he’s the man we’re going follow today, all the way to Rose Island. Actually, in 1968 there was no Rose Island as Giorgio (Elio Germano) hadn’t built it yet. But he’s about to. He’s an engineer, a creator, and a thinker. And […]

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 […]
