Thou Gild'st the Even (2013)

One of the best Turkish movies I have seen since long time...

[9/10 · 18 November 2013]

I must watch...a hidden jewel.

It may be hard to access since it has not been widely released but if you somehow see it in a local festival don't hesitate to buy a ticket. I feel lucky to be one of the minority who was able to watch it thanks to "Baska Sinema" in İstanbul.

I am a big fantasy science fiction fan. I was surprised to see that most of the characters in the movie have special powers but this not a superhero movie. The film is about ordinary people with superhuman powers who live in a small town and live their standard, boring lives. They are all extremely naive and even the most extraordinary incidents and behaviors are being easily accepted by the townspeople.

I think this is all I can say without giving any spoilers but I know that I left the theater with a smiling face and a broken hard at the same time.

If you want to watch an extraordinary and amusing film, don't miss it.

The Last Airbender (2010)

Biggest disappointment ever!

I watched all episodes of Avatar. Some of them a couple of times. I was so excited when I first saw that they are going to shoot the movie and had great expectations. OK, I didn't expect something epic like Lord of the rings which was exceptional but at least something above average. This movie is a disaster. The story goes so fast that you can't even catch up. I can't imagine someone who doesn't know the series and trying to understand what's going on in the movie. Don't even bother going to cinema. It's a waste of time. I thing Night Shyamalan should quit his career as a director immediately. How can someone ruin such a big movie. This was the last Shyamalan movie I ever watched, that's for sure.
