Yes, there is no mistake in the title. Taika Waititi's Jojo Rabbit was very close to being this year's Best Picture. Its main challenger was even more unbelievable because it was the Korean Parasite, the actual winner. Which one was the third, can you guess? It was Tarantino's Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood. Sparkles, light, drama, glamour, comedy, not particularly in this order, like these three movies. There is not an established order for the top three. This is what the insiders said. Jojo … [Read more...]

My Own 92nd Academy Awards Predictions, Now, in 2020!
There are a few more hours to the 92nd Academy Awards ceremony in 2020, so here, I’m going to present my certain predictions. It was a good year in the cinema and till now, there are not any contradictions and misdeeds. More than that, a South Korean movie is nominated for Best Picture. Parasite, directed by Bong Joon Ho, offers something new, something fresh, with all its soft horror-ish elements. Theoretically one can have real difficulties in picking the winner in every category. With … [Read more...]
Never Look Away Is an Exquisitely Sensual Drama
Even if it was not unanimously appreciated, Never Look Away is nevertheless one of the best and also one the most beautiful movies of 2018. Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck’s epic is a huge improvement from his remake of The Tourist. With that flop, he had a vision of pairing Angelina Jolie with Johnny Depp. He wasn't quite wrong since the Golden Globes HFPA nominated the movie just to hang out with the two stars, but these are not my words, these were thrown as an inside joke by Ricky Gervais, … [Read more...]
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood Is Not As Bad As They Say
Quentin Tarantino's Hateful Five was a pretty gruesome movie. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is far from that. Not only it displays some of the hottest stars in Hollywood right now, but it is assorted with a few of Tarantino's former stars cameos, the oldest of all being Michael Madsen. I read at least one bad review about it, and I have to disagree. I don't say this is the best Tarantino to date, because I don't particularly like his style, but here he wasn't just as tiring.

You Think You Can Learn from Avengers Endgame? Think Deeper!
The most praised of them all, the highest-rated, the dearest (how else), Avengers Endgame is also the last one, I hope. This 8.6 (still) IMDb rated nonsense is now on #35 in Top 250 list on the Amazon-owned website, but a month ago it even reached #24. One may not consider this classification reliable, it is almost as unreliable as the Oscars, but it expresses the public taste in entertainment at the moment. It is too long despite some remarkable acting, accidental (I feel), from some of the … [Read more...]
Dhoom 3 Is the Pearl of the Crown in a Bollywood Action Franchise
Dhoom 3 is an Indian adventure flick which crowns a pretty successful series starring supercop Jai Dixit with his colleague Ali. With this post I officially inaugurate the new subcategory I named "Indian". This doesn't seem that the films reviewed here were all made in Bollywood because I sincerely don't think that Pan Nalin or Mira Nair made movies according to these rules. Dhoom 3 is a standard Bollywood production, as the whole series is, but this one is the best in everything. This movie's … [Read more...]
