Woman in the Moon (1929)

Very courageous production

[10/10 · 18 September 2005]

Considering its time and conditions, it is very courageous and well designed and often considered to be one of the first "serious" science fiction films. Though some things are out of facts of today it is really an unforgettable sample and pioneer of space films in the history of cinema.

It had to be more excited than Star Wars in the beginning of '20s. The types chosen are quite interesting and though it's a silent movie, the explanations are quite satisfactory enabling the movie comprehensible. For the lovers of the art of cinema, it is a film absolutely to bee seen and to be added into their archive.

Badi (1984)

It depends on...

[3/10 · 15 August 2004]

All good things depend on money of course. That film has been made with a very small budget, in a short time, with unknown actors(!) and Actress(!) just for children, like other films during the worst time of Yesilcam(Turkish Hoolywood). Any intellectual and/or any normal person who has common sense doesn't go to see these kind of films even in Turkey, and just find them too ridiculous to bother about them.

But considering the very limited opportunities for the films for the children, these kind of films could earn some money but not much, then. Therefore, these kind of films may be considered as cult films from the point of the developing of the Cinema Art in Turkey.

The Piano (1993)

One of few films which I haven't forgotten

[10/10 · 23 December 2003]

There are very nice and professional criticism about this extraordinary film in this site. So I cannot add anything better, but I can say that it is one of the few films in my life which I have not forgotten after years. It is an international production which exposes international feelings, passion and emotions in a very effective and powerful plateau and in a very realistic way.

Ran (1985)

Another success

[10/10 · 23 December 2003]

It is another success of the big master, the master of masters Kurosawa. He is The Greatest! His films are in an epic style. The sceneries like a dream. The dinamizm of active sceneries like battle actions are unbelievable.
