- Movie Review - The Parallax View (1974) - Part 2
by Ugur Akinci. "Parallax" -- " the difference between what a camera's viewfinder sees and what the camera records, especially at close distances" according to an on-line dictionary. What a great name for a political thriller which is based on a public deception built on lies and a ruthless cover up.
This 1974 political thriller, shot only 6 years after the assassination of both Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and B... products, articles, news
- Movie Review - The Parallax View (1974) - Part 1
by Ugur Akinci. Pakula's homage to Hitchcock...
Director Alan Pakula proves in this political thriller that he is a true student of Hitchcock. With some movies, directing is so transparent you don't even know it's there. Yet with some other directors, the visual style is prominently on display and it's hard to miss. Pakula is one such great director.
Three camera directions that he uses repeatedly in this film... products, articles, news
- Movie Review - Gunga Din (1939), A Critical View
by Ugur Akinci. Gunga Din (1939) is proof positive of two facts:
1. A famous poem might not always have the plot backbone to carry a 2-hour movie.
2. Just like you cannot make a good cup of lemonade by a committee, you cannot force a good movie out of 10 writers either -- even if one of them is a Nobel laureate. Two story writers, 2 official screenwriters, and 6 uncredited writers including the illus... products, articles, news
- Movie Review - The Minus Man (1999), Part 1
by Ugur Akinci. This is the strangest and scariest serial-killer movie I've seen in a long while because the maniac in question, Vann Siegert (Owen Wilson), is also a very normal, gentle, soft spoken blond young man that you wouldn't hesitate to accept as a tenant if you were a landlord.
Actually that's what Jane and Doug Durwin (Mercedes Ruehl and Brian Cox) exactly do when this good looking charmer from Orego... 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 Ice Harvest (2005), Part 2
by Ugur Akinci. The "simple plan" is to first split the money and then to split Wichita early in the morning towards much warmer climates. However, fate has her own plans.
When Charlie stops by at the bar before going home he cannot help but come across too relaxed and too smug for comfort to his love interest and tough-cookie Renata (Connie Nielsen). This feline blonde can smell BS from a mile and she immediat... products, articles, news
- Movie Review - Casino Royale (2006), Part 2
by Ugur Akinci. I do not remember a single scene in which Sean Connery would even come close to having a single drop of blood on his immaculate tux. Yet, this vintage-2006 Bond changes his bloodied tux in between two sittings of a poker game when he cannot help but kill two thugs with his bare hands during the intermission.
Let's remember that a 007 film is a franchise commodity. That's why I question the degre... products, articles, news
