- Movie Review - Amazing Plot Similarities Between "Seraphim Falls (2006)" and "Apocalypto (2006)"
by Ugur Akinci. Since I watch a lot of movies, sometimes I see fascinating parallels and similarities between different films, both in terms of general themes and specific plot points.
In some cases, they are different movies by the same director and the THEMATIC similarities are understandable.
Take Woody Allen's "Crime and Misdemeanors (1989)" and "Match Point (2005)" for example. To me, these are basically ... products, articles, news
- Movies -- Importance of Lighting in The Illusionist (2006) and Marie Antoinette (2006)
by Ugur Akinci. Rembrandt said "all is light." If our reference is the visible universe, I think he is right. In movies, even emotions are dependent on the way a film is lighted. That's why I think DP (director of photography) is such a crucial part of a film crew, perhaps as important as the Director herself.
Two recent and one old movies bring home the point very forcefully -- The Illusionist (2006), Marie An... products, articles, news
- Movie Review - Unknown (2006)
by Ugur Akinci. Five wounded, beaten up and dazzled guys come back to their senses in a deserted warehouse, or an old mothballed power station.
The first thing they discover is the fact that, no matter what they do, they can't get out unless someone opens the door from the outside. They are sealed shut.
For the rest of this claustrophobic, dark and merciless film, the five try to find out who they are. Three h... products, articles, news
- Movie Review - Babel (2006)
by Ugur Akinci. A 21st century tribute to the alienation of humankind and across-the-world deterioration of simple human communications.
We talk but we don't hear. We hear but we don't get it. We get it but we don't do nothing. And when we do something, we end up hurting others.
Structurally this is also a very interesting movie, with 3 loosely related stories forming a Three-Plot arc instead of the classic Ar... products, articles, news
- Movie Review - En Soap (2006)
by Ugur Akinci. I love not only American movies (by far my favorites) but films from all around the world as well. For example, I'd really recommend French, German, British, Italian, Iranian, Chinese, Japanese, Israeli, and Polish cinema. And if I were forced to select top-3 non-American films, I'd without any hesitation go with Italian, French and Polish cinema, in that order.
And for years I also tried to wat... products, articles, news
- Movie Review - United 93 (2006), Part 1
by Ugur Akinci. I'm sure most of us remember very clearly what we were doing on that bright sunny Tuesday morning...
I was at the office, writing, editing, reading. Just another normal day at work.
When we heard through a young engineer who constantly checks his stocks on his office computer that a plane hit the World Trade Center, we thought it was a nasty fluke. A terrible accident but an accident neverthele... products, articles, news
- Movie Review - United 93 (2006), Part 2
by Ugur Akinci. There are no big-ticket Hollywood heavies in this movie. I honestly did not know any of the actors who performed their parts exceptionally well in this documentary-that-isn't.
I can imagine how stressful it must have been especially for those actors portraying the Muslim terrorists because they were so convincing and real in their roles. Perhaps we owe them a special thanks for agreeing to shoul... products, articles, news
- Movie Review - The Letters From Iwo Jima (2006)
by Ugur Akinci. This is the mirror-image of another recent Iwo Jima film "Flags of Our Fathers" which is also directed by Clint Eastwood. Iwo Jima tells that famous battle (in Japanese with subtitles!) from a Japanese point of view whereas "Our Fathers" tells it from an American angle.
Same battle, same director, two perspectives, two high-caliber films.
The sense of intellectual skepticism that we saw in "Our... products, articles, news
