Argo (2012)
A good movie with a lot of propaganda
First of all, I really enjoyed the movie, despite the fact they showed Iranians very bad, hostile people. I feel sorry about the Iranians who are watching this movie, it should be very sad to see how the billion dollar movie industry in US can show any country whatever they want. I know this because another movie (Taken 2) showed Turkey as a 3rd world country with all the women covered and the streets like hell.
They never showed any single educated Iranian, their arts, etc. All of the Iranians were angry people except the housekeeper.
I don't know the actual history behind this movie but the acting was good, I am very surprised to see Ben Affleck as a very good acting in this movie.
The story evolved very nice keeping the tension up until the plane passes over Iranian air border. I was thrilled until the last 5 minutes.
John Goodman and Alan Arkin added a nice taste to this movie but their part was not that long.
I took 3 stars out because, this movie is full of propaganda. But still it is a watchable movie and I don't think it deserves any Oscar since this movie is made because of the propaganda reason. I don't agree with people who gave this movie only 1 star because it is a propaganda, you need to be objective although the people who produced this movie were not!
Tatli Hayat (2001)
Best Sitcom Comedy in Turkey
Tatli Hayat is the best sitcom comedy in Turkey including Avrupa Yakasi, Dadi and Tatli Kaciklar. Most important two characters are Ihsan who is acted by Haluk Bilginer (one of the best Turkish actor) and Irfan (Celal Kadri Kinoglu). Whole cast is actually great. I think probably one of the best sitcom cast in Turkey.
This is a remake of an American sitcom the Jeffersons. But instead of the controversy between Black and White, there is a funny controversy between Greek and Turkish.
Conversations between Irfan and Ihsan, and Yorgo and Ihsan are great and really funny. Thanks to the writers who made this wonderful TV series.
Inception (2010)
Too Much Matrix But An Excellent Work!!
Today, I took a nap before I went to movie theater, since I knew that this movie would be a mind blowing experience. There are still parts that I did not understand, but probably I will watch it again and I will understand much more better. I and my friend called this mind blowing experience as Matrix effect(I did not understand Matrix totally when I first watched it).
I should say that movie is 148 min, but it is worth it. I think describing the situation, putting things together and presenting a good conclusion could not be illustrated for such a complex story in less than this duration.
DiCaprio's character is full in depth and his struggle in his mind with his dead wife presented in the whole story so well.
Also special effects are gorgeous. Some of them were used in Matrix, but all those city upside down effects are awesome.
I should say that this movie is a really good mind blowing experience. Probably most people will say it is a masterpiece. I do not know why but it is not as good as Matrix. Actually when I first watched Matrix, I thought as the same way. So my critics could change when I watch it again.
I strongly suggest Matrix lovers to watch this movie. Probably, you will not totally understand in first time and you will definitely want to see it again.
I did not vote for this movie yet since I did not totally understand the whole situation, there are a lot of points which I did not see or understand. I will give this movie a second chance. Well job Nolan!
Sherlock Holmes (2009)
Another Great Movie from Guy Ritchie
As not a fan of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, I watched this movie, and I really entertained. First of all for a detective movie, Guy Ritchie is one of few directors that I can think of. Christopher Nolan (The Prestige) and Neil Burger (The Illusionist) could be the other director choices. Also the script is well written, at the end of the story there are no cracks and you really enjoy when Holmes explains everything at the end of the movie. Fight scenes are not the best but I laughed at some scenes. Robert Downey Jr. did a really good job as Sherlock Holmes. Also Jude Law is a good choice for Dr. Watson. Mark Strong is a charismatic villain and I think he fits this type of characters. Soundtracks are absorbing the fight scenes, and when there is a funny scene again the music changes and it really fits to that funny scene.
Overall, my vote is 8/10.
The Hurt Locker (2008)
Not An Oscar Winner
After this movie won the Oscar, I watched the movie. At the beginning, I recognized that this is another American movie that shows American Army as not like an invader in Iraq. I hated it. Throughout the movie there is nothing but disarming bombs. I do not know anything about bombs or I've never been in army, but I can easily realize that there are a lot of cracks in this movie. First, why that sniper did not shot the EOD soldier instead of shooting the car. Is this the way of trying to detonate the bomb? Are you serious? Also why he was trying to enter that house and then how the lady in the house kicked an armed man's ass? At the end of movie, director thought that she gave a big impression on the viewer. She believed that she showed an American Soldier life in Iraq. I don't think so. This movie has a lot of holes, and I do not understand why this movie was nominated for an Oscar and how it won the Oscar. Up, Inglorious Bastards and District 9 are much better movies that this crap.
Birds of America (2008)
Great Movie with Small Cracks
After I watched The Ron Clark Story and Numb, I started to think Matthew Perry is a really good actor besides Friends. This movie is another proof to my hypothesis. I really enjoyed the movie. Ben Foster portrayed an odd guy who has some type of sentiments about life and people. His character reminds me Frank Ginsberg in Little Miss Sunshine played by Steve Carrel. Lauren Graham annoyed me while the whole movie. First she acts like a good, tolerant wife who wants a better life and more money. Then at the end of the movie, she changed, and just wanted to be a mother and a real good wife. However, what are the reasons that changes her, I really don't know. Hillary Swank has a role which is not a great role considering an Oscar winner. I think anybody can play her role. I give 8/10 to this movie. The only thing that I did not like in this movie, Betty Tanager character was not well written. Ben Foster and Matthew Perry are great in acting. My suggestion, if you liked Little Miss Sunshine, you will love this movie.
The Illusionist (2006)
Another Great Edward Norton Movie
I have to say Edward Norton and Paul Giamatti made a great work in this movie. I like Edward Norton's accent(as I liked in "The Painted Veil"). However, Jessica Biel was not that great at all. The love between Eisenheim and Sophie was not presented at that much. Yes, they were in love in their childhood. But after that many years, why they are still in love? That is the most important part of movie which was skipped. I remember Rufus Sewell from Dark City. But this time I think he was not that good at all. He was playing a jealous prince, is this really a picture of jealous prince? I don't think so. At some part of the movie I feel bored, maybe it was a little bit long. However final part cleared it up all. This movie is not as good as "The Prestige", but it is an enjoyable movie with Edward Norton.
Danny the Dog (2005)
One of The Best Action Movies I Have Ever Seen
I have seen many action movies(Hollywood made) but 1-2 of them can excite me as much as Danny The Dog. One of them is Banlieue 13 and like Danny The Dog, B-13 is also written by Luc Besson. The other one is the Undisputed and Uri Boyka(Scott Adkins) rocks.
Jet Li has a tremendous fighter in this movie. It is hard to watch Jet Li's punches,kicks that are very very fast. There are many fighting scenes that will probably satisfy you. Most of this types of movies(fighting based) have bad scripts but the script is also good for an action film and Morgan Freeman is the right choice for Sam character who is blind. If you want to see a good action film i think you won't be upset. My vote is 8.
Eyes Wide Shut (1999)
Why Do I Should Waste Time With Kubrick's Films?
I don't get Stanley Kubrick's Films i have watched about 5 films of him and i don't understand this movies. I think they are made for dumb people. While i am watching the movie i feel so much bored and i thought that director thinks that watchers are going to love it when i make %60 of the movie like erotic film. Is it just easy that making watch the movie? I don't think so if i want to see an erotic movie i just buy it. But this movie is nothing more than an erotic film. Tom Cruise is a doctor who can attract every women in the world and he can pay money to everything like a millioner. There so many things i have to say but most of them have been said from other watchers who give this movie 1/10. Also nowadays Adverts are so like that movie. It shows people that everything is just like that in the world. I don't want to understand this movie and all other Kubrick's movie. I will put them into trash.
(If this comment is not applicable i can understand but this is that what i thought about the movie)
Ratatouille (2007)
Another Very Nice Animation
While i am looking IMDb top 250 i have seen Ratatouille and first i am curious because of the name of the movie. When i looked at the summary of the movie, my curiosity had increased. I watched the movie and while i am watching it, it makes me feel relaxed and i don't think so much about what is going next? I just watched and i had a great time. Making this movie is not only giving people the idea that everyone just can cook, but also it gives people the idea that they can do everything that they want when they really want. Director successfully gives that idea to watchers i think. Thank you all who make this animated movie. I just need relaxed nowadays and this movie make it.
Disturbia (2007)
I have seen that
I think some directors or film makers think that if they put some hot girls into movie and make a thriller, then they do a great movie. But i think this is not like that.
Because i don't think this movie is nice, because i have seen a movie like that which has many same parts like a killer neighbour and one night the kid sees the neighbour at work. Then the neighbour recognizes the kid. Bla bla bla.
Different part from that movie is only putting a hot girl and Shia LaBeouf. Shia LaBeouf is one of the supported actors, but i think the supporters are doing a good job. Because this guy will be one of the good actors in 3-4 years. Why i think Shia LaBeouf is supported, because he is in a leading role in 2 movie and before this movies no one knows him. He is talented, funny and he shows that he can play in a thriller(but he must work at and put some more stuff on the thriller parts but other scenes in this movie are very very good) But despite of Shia LaBeouf, while i am watching this movie, it does not make me get thrilled. Because while i am watching, i thought this was the second time i have seen this movie(but in real this is the first time).
So another summer movie! And 3 point goes to Shia LaBeouf.
