Many that live deserve death. And some die that deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then be not too eager to deal out death in the name of justice, fearing for your own safety. Even the wise cannot see all ends. JRR Tolkien
Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead.Charles Bukowski
Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love. How on earth can you explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love? Put your hand on a stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with that special girl for an hour and it seems like a minute. That's relativity.

Spider-Man 3 (2007)
Three major downs
I want to start by saying that I love Spiderman.I love the comics,the cartoons,and the first two films. But this one is just not working out.I have found three major faults,and a lot of smaller ones that I won't be mentioning,while watching.
1)Two words.Tobey McGuire.He's bad.Dear,he's bad.I don't know who ever decided to make him an actor and thought it was a good idea.He does the exact same act for every part he plays.In the first two films,it didn't bug me that much,but now it's a lot more obvious.A lot of actors out there would deserve to play Spiderman.
A note:While mentioning actors,a small part for our lovely Mary Jane Watson... Ah,Kirsten Dunst...or shall I maybe say,Claudia?What a wonderful development of a career,isn't it...Starting off staring with Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt,I mean,come on,I repeat,Tom Cruise AND Brad Pitt,carrying on with The Virgin Suicides...Now she's only an inch apart from being a teeny-weeny American sweetheart,like so many are.The only thing that prevents this is that she's good.She really has material.
Anyway,back to the subject.
2)The way they tried to squeeze in too many sagas and characters in one film,which makes me think that it's probably Spiderman films no more.It's a two hours movie,why trying to put everything in it at the same time?Work on one and develop it.
3)Why does Peter always takes off his mask while fighting?And how do the NYPD can't find out who he is?Come on,they can identify Mary Jane from hundreds of feet above,Peter was there all the time,fighting,for some reason,with his mask OFF,how can they not figure out it's him?It's sillier than the way no one recognises Sailor Moon as Usagi.
OK,so I'm taking three starts away.For the minor things,another one.It's 6/10. Better next time.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992)
Well,it's no surprise that Joss Whedon left!
Another reason not to trust FOX,ever.The script of the original Buffy movie is said to be a masterpiece,while the shot movie is horrible-that speaks for itself I think.Poor Joss Whedon to be have to go through this,but he managed to save his brainwave,didn't he;) I don't get the obsession of Hollywood about those "happy-endings".I, for myself,would take a movie with a dark ending,or at least a bittersweet one,over a bubble-gum pink,unrealistic,guy-gets-the-girl ending any day!But they always seem to shoot silly endings.Read the Buffy comic "The Origin".It tells the story of the movie,of course,without all of the disgusting changes of the script,the gym does burn down,Joyce is not that kind of a mother,Buffy shows far more character development,the Slayers do not have any hairy spots and Merrick does not get born over and over again,the Watchers are normal human and I can't believe the unrealistic,horrible acting of Donald Sutherland,who,normally,a great actor.(And FYI-Merrick shot himself not to reveal the identity of Buffy,dies nobly,not like in this silly movie.) Another thing-vampires usually don't act that way.Becoming one does not make you stupid,you know *rolls eyes* I advice you to watch the movie though,just to see Whedon's genius on how he managed to survive and create Buffy the Vampire Slayer(the real one,of course)Probably the nicest thing in the movie is the portrayal of Buffy's friends. I watched five Buffy episodes last night,after watching the movie.They enabled me to sleep soundly,the real Buffy.
Bishôjo senshi Sêrâ Mûn (1992)
Like the best anime ever
I have recently got into this,I can't believe I've never seen it before,considering all of my friends remember it from childhood.Kinda confusing. Anyway.Sailor Moon focuses on the life of Tsukino Usagi,a crybaby of a 14 year old and extremely clumsy,from the Juuban area of Tokyo. In the first episode,she's introduce to her magical powers and her identity-"Sailor Moon" by our lovely talking cat from the Moon,Luna. Later as the show develops,she meets her fellow Senshi(meaning warriors),Sailor Mercury(Muzino Ami)the Hermione of the show,Sailor Mars(Hino Rei)a short tempered,smart and hilarious Miko(a Shinto priestess),Sailor Jupiter(Kino Makoto)a rather two dimensional tomboy-one side boy crazy and a great house-keeper,other side the physically most powerful Senshi and was expelled from her old school because of a fight(she's rather Buffy-ish),Sailor Venus(Aino Minako)a kind hearted girl who was aware of her identity long before she met Usagi,with the help of the other Moon Cat-Artemis. During the first arc of the series,Sailor Moon Classic,they fight against the Dark Kingdom,Queen Metalia,Queen Beryl and their minions,later discovering that they are the reincarnations of the four Sailor Senshi from the Moon Kingdom,in the pre-historic Silver Millennium(Usagi being the princess they are responsible for,Serenity) They are four more seasons of Sailor Moon,SM R,SM S,SM SuperS and Sailorstars.But I'm still in the middle of the SM R,so don't go hard on me for possible mistakes;) Sailor Moon is something to see in your lifetime.It's an exceptional masterpiece-which must be seen in Japanese with subtitles,I saw some English dubs,it was horrible.Horrible. I'm now at the beginning of the S series and I must say Uranus and Neptune are just spectacular and a great fun to watch,especially Usagi's reactions about them. But I have one ultimate question which is never answered-How do they change back?
Mavi Boncuk (1974)
An absolute Turkish classic
Actually I was surprised that I was the first to comment on this movie.Almost every single Turkish person must have seen this a dozen times,but you always watch it,you just can't help it.It's kinda like "Atla Gel Saban".There were some major Turkish comedy classics in their time and this movie has a massive cast that you can't dream to get together. Some of our main characters go to a restaurant in which the singer Emel Sayin sings.They get beaten and thrown out after a long chain of misunderstandings and decide to get revenge...by kidnapping Emel Sayin!The rest is a great comedy about love,friendship and a little dose of Stockholm syndrome:)
Corpse Bride (2005)
Just the Fab 3 being fab(again)
I've just watched CB and I can honestly say it's enchanted.OK,the plot and the characters are pretty clichéd(in basic means of course,it's not that you see a corpse bride living underground with skeletons and interesting insects everyday!),but the power of this sadly-short picture is not it's great scenario or exciting storyline.It's proved over and over again that you don't always need a genius plot to give an artistic performance(Johnny Depp of all people knows it best I think.Exhibit A:Pirates of the Caribbean.)And if we don't call CB artistic,I don't know which animation deserves this title. It's so sweet with little,well-placed details,I'm still smiling.It's not one of my immortal movies,I admit(that's why it receives 7,not full marks from me)but I'll always remember it with a smile. I liked it although I sadly watched it dubbed in Turkish(I always prefer original and I'm really curious about the characters singing voices)and the sound was so low because of a problem in my PC. I still liked it.I advice you to watch it.Yeas,it may not be reaching your Top 10,but you'll dream about it,I bet;)
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)
Goblet of Fire
No mister no!I'm sorry,I'm not buying it!I believe none of the true fans of Harry Potter series are buying it!If this is the Goblet of Fire,I don't know what the fourth book is!I've never seen a worse adaption in my life!It would be extremely difficult for someone who didn't read the book to make any sense out of it.I'm really angry about the way they're destroying the character of Sirius Black.He's barely even there!The casting for Hermione is extremely unsuccessful,I thought she supposed to have bushy hair! They couldn't explain anything in this movie.We can't even understand Hogwarts is a school,because all they care about is special effects and action scenes(including the extremely ridiculous fight between Harry and the Horntail).Most of the non-readers I spoke thinks Harry and Hermione are going to end up together!None of them understood what Priori Incantatem is! Ludo Bagman was not included!Most of the important scenes were cut out so they could include some ridiculous things.You can do better! Although I'm also a Lord of the Rings fan and never supported the fact it was being filmed,I have to give credits for Jackson's adaption,which was almost exactly the same with the book of masterpiece except some of the included scenes that made me angry in the Two Towers.My point is,it can be done!You don't have to change every scene in the book!!! The real fans of HP!We should wait for the seventh book.
The Lion King (1994)
Dear old Lion King
This picture is my ultimate love.I wish there'd be a vote of 1000 so I could give it to LK. I *tried* to see it in the cinema when it first came out-I was four-and I was scared to death by the darkness of the stairs that lead to the theater.My attempt to watch it failed... Then I grew older,and I watch it so many times I can't remember.No movie,be an animation or not,never placed it's space in my heart.I can't begin to describe the emotions that fill my heart when I hear the words "Lion King".I've never bothered to watch 2&3,because I don't want its magic to disappear. Dear Simba,Nala,Scar,probably one of the best bad men in the history, the noble King Mufasa,the Circle of Life,greatest soundtrack ever...What can I say...A breathtaking journey into the worlds of love,nobility,fantasy and faith...
New York, New York (1977)
Love of a saxman and a singer
So,that's the famous New York New York?Come on,give me a break!I was so annoyed with Jimmy Doyle,I couldn't enjoy a minute of it.So that supposed to be a love story?Where is love,may I ask?All I see is a man who's so selfish that he wants everything at his hand and a woman who has no brains of her own at all. I mean OK,Robert De Niro is a great actor,he's one of my favourites of all time,Liza Minelli has an awesome voice,the Broadway sequence is really great,Martin Scorsesse is a great master,but what's the point of this picture?What does it tell?What it is about?I am giving it a 4 out of 10,only for the sake of De Niro's great acting which has no match in the world and Minelli's amazing voice which can make even her face presentable.Other than these...I've seen a lot better...A lot lot better! EDIT-Jimmy leaving his son like that,because of that reason?That's not human behavior!Darth Vader cares about Luke more!
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)
Pirates of the Caribbean
Oh my God!!!Johnny Depp has to earn that Oscar this year or I'll never have faith in the Academy again... It was such a long time since I saw a brilliant comedy like that! Certainly the Movie of 2006! The cast is so well-chosen Ihave nothing to say...Well,I don't quite like Orlando Bloom,but whatever,Pirates of the Caribbean rocks!I can't wait for the third! Elizabeth left Jack on the Black Pearl?Oh God,now she's a pirate!And she'll never be happy if she marries Will. Devy Jones was a brilliant bad guy and I'm so glad to have Barbosa back!I'm so going to watch it again in this ten days:) Watch it! And rate the movie here!It's so brilliant I want it to have full marks :)I don't think it lacks the soul of the Curse of the Black Pearl,Captain Jack is back,isn't it enough?
