Başrollerini Tilda Swinton ve Julianne Moore’un paylaştığı, Altın Aslan ödüllü The Room Next Door’u nihayet izledik. Pedro Almodóvar’ın bu son harikası Venedik’te prömiyer yaptığı günden bu yana merak içindeydim. Almodóvar’ın ilk İngilizce filmi olunca elimiz ayağımıza dolandı. İnanın çok sevmek istedim ama bu sefer olmadı. Her şeye rağmen Almodóvar baş tacımız. Pedro Almodóvar’ın yönetmen koltuğunda […]
The Beast (La bête) France (2023) Dir. Bertrand Bonello Is love something to be afraid of? Not necessarily falling in love but the idea of letting someone into your life and being afraid that your fears and flaws will bring them down with you. 2044 and AI technology is now the norm in the world. […]
Robert Zemeckis, Tom Hanks and Robin Wright have reunited on screen once again for this new film called Here. Zemeckis, Hanks and Wright were all together for Forrest Gump, and now they are focusing on a specific house. This film has a specific gimmick to it. The camera was stoic, steady and unmoving for the […]
The buzz has been off the charts for “The Substance” following its May world premiere at the 77th Cannes Film Festival where it won the award for Best Screenplay. Since then it has only gained momentum, recently showing at the Toronto Independent Film Festival where it took home one of the People’s Choice awards. Now […]
Adapting a chronicle of Amsterdam Holocaust victims’ stories, McQueen does a one-note meditation on past and present.
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 […]
Sosyal mesaj vermeyi seven, filmciliğin ülkemizdeki serüvenine saygı duyan, Yeşilçam’ı çalışma koşullarıyla birlikte set ruhunu öne çıkararak güzelleyen bir Yılmaz var.

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 […]
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, […]

My Ranking of all 20 Movies directed by Tim Burton
The Wait is a cafe con leche of scalding hot visuals masterfully brewed with a chill ghost story.
Dark Matter has the potential to be a fun, exciting show that successfully builds from a rather lackluster opening.
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.
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
While the two shows feature drastically different tones, since they’re both set in Philadelphia, Brunson and the team behind “It’s Always Sunny” felt it was the perfect opportunity to bring back a TV staple.
