Movie Review: Erased (2013)

Aaron Eckhart must be working hard to show his readiness for weekend opening’s lead, but so far, luck was not on his side. Erased(2013) was exceptionally bad. They sold me with its trailer! It looked interesting with elements of The Bourne Identity(2002) : someone is trying to kill a ex-CIA; Taken(2008) : going after his […]

Movie Review: The English Teacher (2013)

Another Julianne Moore’s film, but this one got silly really fast. That’s why it was kinda under the radar when it was out… Since this was a lacklustre film similar to another of the same genre, but funnier: In & Out (1997), I shall keep this short.

Movie Review: Love Me(2013)

The directors are Maryna Gorbach, Mehmet Bahadir Er, and the film was a collaboration between Turkey and Ukraine.  Kyiv was the location; it was winter, and white snow covered the city. The photography […]

Movie Review: Blue is the Warmest Color (2013)

La vie d’Adèle  chapîtres 1 et 2 is adopted from the graphic novel Le bleu est une couleur chaude by Julie Maroh; that’s why the English’s title, perhaps. This film was almost three hours in length, it went through the life of Adèle from 15 to 21 or 22… hence, the title: chapter 1 and 2, like in a novel. […]
