| Dr. Strangelove Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb - PG |
I think the ridiclous (a bit) story of "Dr. Strangelove",is to put war in a ridiclous place.I said ridiclous because if you look at the actual story (a general orders to send nuclear bombs to Russia because of the thinking that they are poisoning drinking water) looks a little pulp.But Stanley Kubrick is a master of making this story believeable and normal.
But i cant speak all about genius Kubrick.Gotta talk about genius Peter Sellers too.His acting of three characters has a big advantage for this masterpiece.Espeically Dr. Strangelove. I love brave movies.Thats why "Dr. Strangelove:Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb" is one of my favourites.It has a lots of |

| Uzak (Distant) - Unrated |
(The first paragraph will be in English,second one will be Turkish)
I havent seen a movie which has more natural acting and dialogs than "Distant".But i know why.Because director,Nuri Bilge Ceylan is one of the smartest directors in the world.He had used his own house and car for this movie.And he wanted to shoot it somewhere different.But when he woke up and see it is snowy in Istanbul.He changed his mind and shoot this great scened movie in Istanbul.So the movie is natural cause he isnt in the unknown place.And he has picked the best actors for their roles.Thats why the actors get Cannes Award.They werent playing a much different person too.But the reason that i gave it 4.5 stars is:the story isnt strong as i though.But director's telling makes movie much more better and strong.And the suitable word "Natural" for this movie. Ah ?u Nuri Bilge Ceylan ya da Fatih Akin gibileri olmasa sinema dünyas? bizi nasil taniyacakti acaba?Recep Ivedikle taniyacak deiller herhalde.Gercekten su son yillarda Sinemam?z cigirindan cikti.Fazla say?da kalitesiz filmler bizi bir yere götürmez bence.Yani bize bu gibi yönetmenler lazim.Ama neyse bizim yapabilecegimiz tek sey kendimizi bu yönetmenler gibi yeti?tirmek.Yukar?da N.B. Ceylan için dünyan?n en akilli yönetmenlerinden dedim.Çünkü do?ru oyuncular? seçmi? hem güzel bir senaryo yazm?? hem film icin do?ru yeri seçmi? (Az daha Istanbul'da cekmeyecekmis) hem de hep kendi e?yalar?n? kullanm??.Bu kadar akilli olmanin ödüllerini de hayli alm??,Aferim.Ayr?ca filmin bu kadar etkileyici olmas?n?n diger nedeni de oyuncular.Gerçekten daha dogal oynanamazd? roller.Ne abart? var ne de hata.Oyunculuk mükemmel.Öykü de biraz daha siradisi olsaydi 5 yildizi düsünmeden basardim. |

| Üç Maymun (Three Monkeys) - Unrated |
The first paragraph will be in English and the second one will be in Turkish.
The widest movie of Nuri Bilge Ceylan.Because everyone can watch it without getting bored.I love his movies nad i watched all of his movies without getting bored.But i agree his technique is not for our time youth (fast food eaters).It is for the people who loves and respects Cinema.the people like this will love this movie as they love all of his movies.But the thing i want to say is:"Three Monkeys" is the most watchable movie of Nuri Bilge Ceylan.Other of him,you have listen and watch carefully to understand what it wants to say.But in this,story is more clear.So it is the least personal movie of Nuri Bilge Ceylan. Nuri Bilge Ceylan'in filmleri genellikle belli bir kitleye hitab eder.Onu anlayacak ve izleyecek kitleye.Ama bana sorarsaniz bu kitle "Üç Maymun"da biraz daha genisliyor.Yani bu film NBC'nin diger filmlerine göre daha kolay anlasilir,daha pahali ve daha az kisisel bir film.Yani onyargi yasamadan herkese onerebileceginiz bir film yapm?s bu sefer usta.Bunu yapmasini uzun zamandir istiyordum.Bravo! |

| Dog Day Afternoon - R | Al Pacino steals the screen as it happens in most of the time.Still Sidney Lumet's directing and political way makes the movie better. | November 28, 2009 | N/A | |||
| Taxi Driver - R | Great movie.Robert Deniro's acting is as well as all the movies he has done.but gunfight scene that is in the ending wasnt good enough.rest of it really great. | November 25, 2009 | N/A | |||
| The Bothersome Man (Den Brysomme mannen) - Unrated | Camera using great.But i think a movie must say something.Ok,"Bothersome Man" is really saying something.It critize the machine people.I mean the people which only talks about and do the same thing.For example Andreas's first girlfriend always talking about furnitures and decoration of his home.Thats annoying.And when Andreas wants to escape society exclude him.So Jens Lien wants to critizes this machine people.But doing this with a disguised language.He could say this with a more clear language.So what i want to say is:Movie could be less symbolic and clear.For example i didnt know Andreas has gone to after-life before i read the plot.I would love the movie if it was less symbolic.But i liked it anyway. | November 7, 2009 | N/A | |||

| 4 Luni, 3 Saptamâni si 2 Zile (4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days) - R | The purest cinema you will ever see.Of course not everyone's cup of tea.Maybe there is only a milion people who can love this on the earth.But if you dont like the movie,it is atill a success for it.For example,when Kieslowski's "A short movie about Killing" showed in the Cannes Festival many people left the theater before it ends.But for Kieslowski,that is what it needs to be.Still i cant recommend you to watch this with your friends or parents. | November 7, 2009 | N/A | |||

| redacted - R | The most shocking movie i have seen since i born.And i have watched "Requiem for a dream" too.But "Redacted" effected me more.I think rape is the most unhuman act of the mankind.And when Brian De Palma mixes this with tragedy of Iraq and documentary camera,it blows your mind and you are starting to swear to rapists and war and Bush.And story telling isnt with only documentary camera,sometimes De Palma takes you to YouTube's web pages or security cameras.After a moment you are feeling like at is real.So thats why it is the most effective movie i have seen. | November 7, 2009 | N/A | |||
| The Great Dictator - G | Some of you can say "not the funniest Chaplin movie" but you cant deny its braveness.Actually i didnt watched "Monsieur Verdoux" but it should be more brave.Because they banished Chaplin after that movie.But i watched this one.And i agree it is the best of Charlie Chaplin. | October 27, 2009 | N/A | |||
| Annie Hall - PG | One of those rare American movies witch is not everyone's cup of tea.Actually Woody Allen really surprized me.He must be an ultimate cinemalover.Because "Annie Hall" hasnt got a classic story telling.I didnt gave this movie the attention it deserves.I did the same thing to "The Graduate" too and i loved that movie.Same thing happened on this too.I though this was a normal American movie with a classic story telling.But i think Annie Hall will be very different than you expect (If you didnt watched it yet).Maybe you will hate it.My dad and my friend hated it so much that im sure that my friend wont watch a movie with me again.Actually i know why did they hated it.Because it is too much entelegy,big-head and chatty.But at least it has a wide world vision about relationships between people.So i think it is one of the most useful movies to watch. | October 27, 2009 | N/A | |||

| Oldboy - R | It can be a little confusing before watching it.You can ask questions like "Why he has five days" or "How did they fall in love so easily".And movie is not answering them until the finale.And it has good reason.Finale... Yes finale is answering all of your questions.But you have to wait of course.And not boring wait.Movie is really enjoyable all the time.With stunts,editing,camera tricks,funny happenings.And im sure that you will love stunts.I think "oldboy" is a new kind of action which will be loved both actionlovers and art-movielovers. | October 15, 2009 | N/A | |||
| Le Notti di Cabiria (Nights of Cabiria) - Unrated | I must say i was waiting more from my favourite director.But more what?I dont know neither.Maybe a little more...I still dont know.But usually Golden Palm nominated movies are different and surrealistic."Nights of Cabiria" was realistic (for me at least) and not so much different.So script saves the movie to the boreness.I think a hooker who is looking for love is a good subject.Little details are making this movie more interesting.Like the part that Cabiria and her friends went to the...i cant remember easily cause i wacthed this long time ago...a religious place and she critizes religion like Fellini always does.He was critizing religion in "8½" too.Also there was a lady in "8½" who was doing Samba too.But Cabiria is better at Samba.Not only at Samba,Giuletta Masina is acting very good.Maybe overrated...But (this can be overrated too) i have seen Charlie Chaplin in her acting! | October 15, 2009 | N/A | |||

| The Gold Rush - Unrated |
Chaplin once said "I want be remembered with this movie." or something like that.But the thing i want to say is,I think Chaplin loved this love like me.I dont know a person who would watch and didnt enjoy "Gold Rush".Ok,it was more dramatic than i though but still funny.Tramp looks funny even if he cries.I dont know you but i laughed every second.And that falling house part is unforgettable.Just like the ball dancing in The Great Dictator.Great Dictator is #4 in my best list.I put it there cause it is one of the funniest and braviest movies of all time.
I dont need to say more.You know it is funny... |

| Vals Im Bashir (Waltz with Bashir) - R |
Not as strong as i waited.But what the fuck i know?I am not that sensitive.I didnt cried in a movie.A real audience must know he or she is watching a movie.But some movies can pass this.Because they are real from begining to end.Even an animation can be as real as pass this rule.Waltz with Bashir was critized badly it wasnt really taking a side.Yes,it is honest and sideless movie.But it isnt defaming it,just making it more real.
Dont understand me wrong when i said sideless.Of course it is against war.And it is showing this with a funny language(sometimes),but mostly hard.And not just that it is also showing the peoples' insensivity against war.You can see it on some scenes.The soldiers are destroying everything only for one target.That is semblolizing the destruction of war.And many things like this...Also you may found it a fiction but actually this is a documentary.Nothing fictional.Ari Folman really went to the war.And other his memories,his friends and soldiers memories are real.You cant miss it. |

| Delicatessen - R |
Fellini once said:"Cinema is an old whore, like circus and variety, who knows how to give many kinds of pleasure. Besides, you can't teach old fleas new dogs."I think Fellini would love Jean Pierre Jeunet movies.His movies always looking like they made for variety.Maybe not all his movies.But certainly "Delicatessen" is one of them.
First of all our character is working for a circus(tica-tica dance!!!)But i didnt say that because of this.I said its like a circus because of the characters:You cant see any of these people in real life. I think Jean Pierre Jeunet has a his own genre of movies.Atmosphere is dark,acting is funny and the happenings are between funny and dark.I would like to call it Dark Comedy.But i cant.It is more than that. I bought this because my mum remembers it was really good.But when we were watching she noticed that it was the wrong movie.She was remembering "Little Shop of Horror".That's (near) normal.They cut people both of the movies.But "Delicatessen"s light,colour and comedy doze is professional.So you should really watch this if you have liked "Little Shop of Horror". |

| Ladri di Biciclette (The Bicycle Thief) (Bicycle Thieves) - Unrated |
I dont usually love realism.But De Sica's movie is one of the best example of Italian Realism.I loved it because it has a good point.It is showing us how poor are some of Italian public.And De Sica had done the right thing by making this movie this realistic.Because this is a serious problem.So,De Sica isnt making mind-tricks or dream scenes or weird editing.He is just telling us the story.
Actually it is not the best example of Realistic Cinema because the uncertain finale is reminding the French New Wave.But what am i talking about?Let's talk about what movie is talking about:Unfortunately we are witnessing a poor family's struggle over a bike which is the most important thing for this family.Because Antonio cant get the job if he hasnt got a bike.And job is the most important thing for jobless people.Because job means money,money helps to survive.So the bike is the life. By the way Lamberto Maggioni is a real Factory Worker.All for realism. |

| All That Jazz - R |
Really enjoyable.I dont know how to describe it.One the best movies i have seen.I love musicals.It is my favourite genre.And a good musical always reminds me why do i love movies.Because they yell.Well,"All that Jazz" isnt yelling that much.But there many movies that can yell about the problem in our lifes.Like "The Network".Peter Finch was yelling (he was really...but thats not the point)he was yelling about economy and what people do.Now this is Cinema's global yelling style.But there Director's personal yelling style:"8½".Fellini was yelling about how hard it is to do movies.And there wasnt any real yelling in his movie.I dont know what connection it has about "All That Jazz".But thats why i love movies this much.
And i love musicals (not high school musical).Because they are optimist.And im an optimist."All that Jazz" is the first pessimist musical i love.And i know why i love it.I have to say i love ironic things more than musicals.You know...If you use a happy song in a tragedic scene.That is ironi for me."All That Jazz" is doing that.Joe Gideon has a loose life.But Bob Fosse is telling this in a musical way.And the result is over Amazing!Not only Bob Fosse.Roy Scheider has done a great job too.Espeically This is the best movie Editing i have seen. |
