ERŞAN KUNERİ 2 (2024): “1980’li Yılların Duygusal Fantezisi, Düşsel Komedisi”
Erşan Kuneri serisi ilki yayınlandığında, Kara Komik Filmler sonrası Cem Yılmaz ve hepimiz açısından bir ilk gerçekleşmiş oluyor, seri şekilde bir komedyenin politik, ruhsal, kültürel dünyasının içine hızlı şekilde giriş yapmış oluyorduk. GORA filminde ilk kez kullanıp daha sonra 1970’li yılların sinema seks furyasının ikonu haline dönüşmüş Erşan Kuneri’yi düzenin, sistemin istediği kişiye dönüştüren Cem […]
Erşan Kuneri 2. Sezon ya da Mavi Donlar Değil Pembe Gözlükler Aşağı!
Sosyal mesaj vermeyi seven, filmciliğin ülkemizdeki serüvenine saygı duyan, Yeşilçam’ı çalışma koşullarıyla birlikte set ruhunu öne çıkararak güzelleyen bir Yılmaz var. Bu Yılmaz’dan içeri başka bir Yılmaz var: İşini yapmak yani güldürmek zorunda olan bir Yılmaz. İkinci Yılmaz ilkini yakın markajda tutuyor. Dalga geçmek zorunda kalıyor Yılmaz ve tam burada bir değer çatışması yaşanıyor.
Point Blank (1967)
John Boorman directs Lee Marvin, Angie Dickinson and John Vernon in this classic thriller where a left-for-dead career criminal stalks the partner, the wife and the organisation who have his $93,000. Richard Stark’s The Hunter is one of my favourite novels. A focussed, resourceful and amoral individual taking down a syndicate that is too big […]
Zardoz (1974)
John Boorman directs Sean Connery, Charlotte Rampling and Sara Kestelman in this sci-fi fantasy where a brutal warrior hides in a flying stone head to discover how the secret society who control his people live. Another folly. This one from before my time. Infamous for Big Tam strutting around the Irish countryside in a bandolier, […]

Tim Burton Movies Ranked
My Ranking of all 20 Movies directed by Tim Burton
The Wait (La Espera)
The Wait is a cafe con leche of scalding hot visuals masterfully brewed with a chill ghost story.
Dark Matter (TV Pilot)
Dark Matter has the potential to be a fun, exciting show that successfully builds from a rather lackluster opening.
Janet Planet
Janet Planet focuses on the complicated bond between mother and daughter yet the overall expression of the story is too slow to capitalize on any clear emotion, save for regret.
London Film Festival 2024: Endurance Review
Anyone who has spent time around me knows that I am fascinated by what is known as the ‘Heroic Age of Polar Exploration.’ Ever since I saw the Fram, the ship that took Roald Amundsen to the South Pole, I have been fascinated by this period of history, events like the race between Amundsen and […]
Edinburgh International Film Festival: Timestalker Review
For the final film I’m reviewing at the Edinburgh Film Festival, I decided to go for one of the big ones showing at the festival. I’ve been a fan of Alice Lowe since the release of Sightseers in 2012 and I’ve always been interested to see what she does. I enjoyed Prevenge when that was […]
London Film Festival 2024: Savages Review
Once again, it’s time to cover my time at the London Film Festival. This has been the main event for my blog for the past few years, a rare time when it is guaranteed that reviews will be coming out. This year, I decided to go with more independent films, rather than the big galas. […]
London Film Festival 2024: Flow Review
I’m continuing my trend of animated films for my next screening at the London Film Festival and the film I chose next is right up my alley. Over the past few years, we’ve seen a number of great, silent animated films, such as the Shaun the Sheep films, The Red Turtle and Robot Dreams. All […]

Running once again for President…
Movie Review: “Green Night”
An airport security guard finds her life upended by a sketchy/flirty pixie in green hair and fingernails in “Green Night,” a Chinese romantic thriller starring Fan Bingbing that gives international exposure to Ms. Trouble in Green, Korean starlet Lee Joo-young. Our heroine is one of those nameless global functionaries with a metal detector wand who […]
