Reviews and News
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, […]

Radioactive (2019)
Radioactive (2019) Pioneer. Genius. Rebel. Director Marjane Satrapi’s, Persepolis (2007), film Radioactive is an unbalanced and ultimately bland portrayal of Marie Curie, perhaps the best-known female scientist of all time. Through her pioneering work in the field of discovering the elements Radium and Polonium, she was the first woman to receive a Nobel Prize, an […]

Freaky (2020)
Freaky (2020) Basic switch. Killer new look. It’s hard to believe that it’s taken us this long to get a body-swap slasher movie. Similar to what filmmaker Christopher Landon and producer Jason Blum did with their ghoulish re-working of Groundhog Day (1993), with the one-two punch of Happy Death Day (2017) and Happy Death Day […]

Fatman: A Unique Thriller About Santa Claus Battling a Hitman
Fatman is a unique hybrid that blends ultra-violence, cheeky world building and dark comedy – and it mostly works. It’s a wild film that introduces us to a world in which Chris Cringle (Mel Gibson) and his wife Ruth (Marianne Ruth-Bapiste), take on Military contracts during off-months, and children hire hitmen […]

Film Review: Possessor
Following in the footsteps of his father, the iconic filmmaker David Cronenberg, writer and director Brandon Cronenberg dabbles in the ‘body horror’ sub-genre that his old man pioneered for his grisly sophomore feature Possessor. Revered hitwoman Tasya Vos (Andrea Riseborough) is at the centre of the sci-fi thriller, working for an organisation that uses brain-implant […]

‘Black Beauty’ Review
Ashley Avis’ Disney+ adaptation of the classic story pulls at the heartstrings, but its episodic feel keeps it from galloping along with ease.

Proxima (2020)
A lot is simmering below the surface of Proxima, the daring space drama (which doesn’t actually show the proverbial “final frontier” at all, one of several fascinating directorial decisions made in the creation of this film) from Alice Winocour, who plucks a number of timely, incredibly relevant themes and throws them together into what can […]

The Power of The Force Was Found in My In-Law’s Basement
The power of The Force was found in my in-law’s basement where my brother-in-law made room for everyone to team-assemble his latest LEGO set – the Mos Eisley Cantina: I helped build the central bar where Luke had a little tiff with a local. “I’m a collector,” he said as he opened the gigantic box […]

Elmer Gantry (1960)
When composing the canon of great American films, there is one in particular that occupies a very strange space – Elmer Gantry is a film mostly remembered for the dynamic performance given by Burt Lancaster, who was already one of the industry’s most interesting leading actors, and very little else. Richard Brooks was a filmmaker […]

In the Dusk (2020)
Artistically, war comes in many different forms. There are the rousing battlefield films that show the harrowing conditions of warfare, the intimate chamber dramas that attempt to show the machinations that go into some of history’s most definitive moments, and the general psychological thriller that situates itself on the outskirts of the most prominent moments, […]

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 […]

STRANGER THAN FICTION (MARC FORSTER, 2006)
Yaşantımızın bir kurgudan öte daha garip olduğunu hissettiğimiz zamanlarda izlenmesi gereken bir film. Harold Crick, saat gibi işleyen hayatında takıntılıları olan ve ona sıradan gibi gelen muhteşem yetenekleriyle rutin bir hayatın içinde yaşayıp gider.
