“I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since it was Neil Jordan’s directing debut, I was really eager to check it out. Well, to be honest, it wasn’t really an easy watch. First of all, it was pretty much impossible to pinpoint a specific genre as Jordan mixed so many styles to” read more
“I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since I have a weak spot for Emily Blunt, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, to be honest, I didn’t really care about the damned thing after all. Seriously, it is such a pity that Emily Blunt, a really lovely and talented actress” read more
Notes: I think it was the first Turkish movie I have ever seen and only therefore it was a really interesting watch. The other thing that impressed me was how much Turkey must have changed in the last 40 years (on the other hand, I have never been there so I might be completely mistaken). Concerning the movie itself, it was actually quite strong and I don't think it has lost much of its impact after all these years. In my opinion, this movie was about the fact that the Turkish people was and maybe still are too much focused on punishment and vengeance when they should try to be more compassionate and forgiving towards other people and it's an universal message that is still topical nowadays for everyone. Concerning the fact that they chose to tell the stories of 5 different inmates, to be honest, I'm not so sure if it was such a great idea. Sure, on one hand, they were then able to be more diverse and show more ways to handle such a situation but, on the other hand, if they would have gone for just one or two characters, they could have expanded their tales and go much deeper. It is still a really strong movie though.
“To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since I have a weak spot Jason Reitman‘s work, I was quite eager to check it out. Well, even if it was probably Reitman's most interesting project in years, I’m afraid it still turned out to be rather disappointing. First of” read more

“To be honest, I didn’t really have some huge expectations regarding this movie but since I have a weak spot for Mark Wahlberg’s and Peter Berg’s work, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, it wasn’t really good, I’m afraid. At least, it was slightly better than ‘Spenser Confident” read more
“Since I kept hearing some pretty good things about this flick, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, eventually, it turned out to be not bad at all after all. In fact, I would go even as far as saying that it is easily one of the best movies starring Seann William Scott (sure, it was a low b” read more
