Rose Island

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 […]

Éric Rohmer ve Yeni Dalga

Éric Rohmer 1971’de kendisiyle yapılan bir röportajda¹, “Filmlerim tamamen kurgu eserlerdir, sosyolog olduğumu iddia etmiyorum (…) Sadece kendim icat ettiğim belirli vakaları alıyorum, bunlar bilimsel değildir, hayal ürünüdürler” der. Ancak en fantastik olanından en korkunç olanına kadar her film, içinde mutlaka toplumsal bir gerçeklik barındırır. Film ile izleyici arasında bağ kuran da bu gerçeğe yakın…

Howl (2010)

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 […]

Vision

Actually watching this movie turned out to be something of an adventure. I had it on a streaming service, but when I paused it about halfway through and then returned to it, it was gone. (Evidently the streaming service happened by coincidence to drop it from its service at just that time.) That necessitated finding […]

The Witches (2020)

Since I started seeing advertising for this title, I have been wanting to see it. I just love a magical, witchy story. Signing up for HBOMax be damned; besides, I could probably get away with a week free and cancel before the week is up. It’s part of my new attitude: I can’t take my money with […]

In Time (2011)

Better than expected , but then again, I love this genre of movie: end-of-the-world, small guy versus big government. And who could resist yummy Justin Timberlake? A quick research and development revealed Johnny Galecki – another known name – was in this movie also, though I can’t remember his character. Additionally, Matt Bomer was […]

Some Huge Good Star Wars News

Some huge (good) Star Wars news came out of the Disney Presentation today and I’m admittedly a lot more hopeful about certain things. I was worried they were going to spin off everybody that appeared on The Mandalorian this season (whereas I think some belong squarely on Mando) but Favreau and Filoni are working together […]
