“I wasn't really sure what to expect from this movie but since there was a nice cast involved, I thought I might as well check it out. Unfortunately, like most movies dealing with male prostitution, the whole thing just felt seriously misguided. Indeed, even though it was probably supposed to be some” read more
Notes: Among the massive epics directed by David Lean, in my opinion, this movie must be the most accessible one. I think that the very best remains, by far, ‘Lawrence of Arabia’, but this movie has a running time of almost 220 minutes and, therefore but also for some other reasons, it is a rather demanding flick. In my opinion, 'The Bridge on a the River Kwai' is more an exciting feature and, basically some kind of forefather to our own blockbusters. Basically, it is a really entertaining piece of work and I even remember watching this flick with my dad back in those days. I thought it was really good and I already enjoyed it back then. Apparently, even though David Lean and Alec Guiness worked together on many movies, they actually didn’t get along very well and it was the only movie he made for Lean for which Guiness had the lead. He was very good in this, and apparently, he believed it was his best work. To be honest, it has been a while since I saw this flick and I will definitely re-watch it in the future at some point. 
“Since I kept hearing some really good things about this flick, I was really eager to check it out. Well, after the rather disappointing 'Good Kill', it was pretty neat to finally see a really good movie dealing with the modern drone warfare. Indeed, they had a stellar cast and all the actors involve” read more
“Since I always had a weak sport for Jacques Perrin's nature documentaries, I was quite eager to check this one out as well. Well, once again, Perrin delivered some visually amazing scenes combined with some very nice music. Indeed, there is something so fascinating and relaxing about his work and it” read more
Notes: I have to confess, I had no idea what the whole thing was actually about and the beginning was quite confusing, at least, to me. Furthermore, it took a while to take off. Still, it was definitely worth the wait after all. Indeed, I really enjoyed the realistic approach but, above all, I thought that the 2 characters played by Tony Curtis and Burt Lancaster were just fascinating. Indeed, those 2 guys were some of the most slimy and conniving characters I have ever seen thanks to some really strong performances from Curtis and Lancaster. In fact, this movie didn’t get much love when it was released at least from the audience, it was mostly because both actors were playing such dark characters and it was apparently too difficult to swallow for the audience at the time. In my case, I just loved how bleak the whole thing was, the dialogues were really neat and the end was like a Greek tragedy.
“I wasn’t sure what to expect from this flick but since there was an interesting cast involved, I thought I might as well check it out. First of all, it has been a while since I have seen such a misleading title. Indeed, with such a title and such a poster, I was expecting a thriller, some kind of ” read more
“I wasn't really sure what to expect from this movie but since it was included in the '1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die' list, I was quite eager to check it out. First of all, I think it was the first Turkish movie I have ever seen and only therefore it was a really interesting watch. The othe” read more
