below average james bond kind movie, years before Brosnan became James Bond.There are many tricks like protoganist bets too much for gambling to have attention of target.Brosnan could have wanted to forget this after acting James Bond.

WW3 (2001)
I liked it because script is very nice.It builds a world war 3,it is in some point not convincing especially on the points it claims other countries get involved.As all story goes in US it is convincing.
Another 48 Hrs (1990)
It is as good and fun as the first movie.I like the music, acting ,dialogues.It is all in a box of fun and thriller.This is one of my favourite movies.Great sequel.
Laws of Attraction (2004)
Why does Hollywood waste Julianne Moore on role-model characters or on comedies? I only like her in Single Man and Savage Grace.Julienne More should be villain not sympathic role models.

Fargo (1996)
This is one of my favourite movies.There are many scenes that make you laugh I watched again on telly.
But my favourite scene is when they let Jenny out running tied and blindfolded the reaction Steve Buscemi makes me burst into laughters.His reaction automatically triggers you to laugh, normally you are supposed to pity on Jenny but I say to myself what the hell :) It is a great moment whoever thought and built that scene many thanks to them :)) I love cinema.The fun is about how Buscemi laughs and mocks Jenny's effort ,his mimics it is priceless :)
I d like to see Steve Buscemi,Dormand,Macy and Stormare watch this movie and how much they laugh at theirselves :) do you think they laugh as much as you do ?:)
Well I had belly laughters but there is some moments this movie turns very thrilling for me.After Grimsrud shots the police and Buscemi tries to get him off the road a car comes from other end of the road.When Grimsrud suddenly gets the wheel and speeds it starts.He chases them and sees the car gone out of the road and kills them coldly.It was very cruel.I never want to be in those killed persons' shoes.You coincidentally witness a crime and get killed in a dark cold nowhere.
Wild Hogs (2007)
Very forced comedy, old middle age friends gather to chase advanture to catch the joy of life.I d watched many times the same script.
Arlington Road (1999)
Why I think Robbins acts better than Bridges it is something that makes me think of what would happen if they exchange the roles,Bridges is the bad one and Bridges is the good guy.Perhaps that would be better.Robbins is very very good in this movie especially when Robbins goes to talk to Bridges in the garden face-to-face.

Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994)
One of my favourite romantic comedy movies.Andie MacDowell with this beautiful hat I think this is the first thing comes to my mind.Hugh Grant is in his best times.Kristin Scott Thomas,Rowan Atkinson and other.If you rewatch it today you ll see very familiar faces especially their younger times than today.I think this movie is a classic anymore
Double Jeopardy (1999)
Classical Tommy Lee Jones movie,he is a law defender and tries to save a troubled woman.I never could like Ashley Judd.I know her other movies but somehow something does not connect me to her.She is not warm at all on the scene.She looks like a marble statue all the time.Expressions,mimics there is not anything striking at all.
The Chase (1994)
I like Charlie Sheen movies.There is always something makes you smile :) This is not a masterpiece but easy watch,nice movie.I especially can't restraing myself laughing when they start making love while Charlie Sheen is behind the wheel and all police cars chase them.What an extra-ordinary idea :) Charlie Sheen somehow makes a stupid idea reasonable for you.You stop querying whatever it is and take that just to have fun.

Blow Out (1981)
Travolta is in his early younger ages,director is Brian De Palma,before watching it my expectation was high.After seeing it I can't even call this an average movie.It is very weak.There are some points you mostly do not find realistic.

Devil in a Blue Dress (1995)
This is a solid thriller.It is not complicated , there are not much twists that make your mind confuse.Actually as it is about a political scandal this is definitely a Denzel's type movie.He is very good at such movies telling political thrillers,corrupted polices politicians.
It is a nice watch.
Papillon (1973)
73 year old Dustin Hoffman found a chance to act together with Steve McQuenn when he was 36 years old.I never thought Hoffman was that old.This is a great prison escape movie.This movie teaches one moral lesson that is a human always seeks his/her freedom whatever his/her condition is.Dega gave up in the end however Papillion never gives up.Towards the end of movie the way they age and their desperate life it was beyond a human's imagination when it comes to punish criminals.It is a nightware when I think myself locked up in an island in their condition, old,desperate and half-mad in mental conditions.This is a classical movie and its music is also great.

True Romance (1993)
Catch me if you can (2002)
It is based on a true story.Funny,entertaining and making you smile.When Caprio wants to pay with cheque the money woman asks for one night in the hotel,it was the funniest moments of the movie :)
Wild Things (1998)
Very provoking thriller.Campbell and Richard's threesome scene is the best sex scene I ever watched.Cast team is also great.
What Women Want (2000)
Great story and movie.I liked a lot Helen hunt with her beautiful noce and Mack the Knife song.
Vanilla Sky (2001)
As I understand it is a remake of a spanish movie called open your eyes, abre los ojos.That's the striking phrase in the movie.It is mysterious and twisting.Nice movie.
The Untouchables (1987)
Carrying Brian de Palma signature and great cast team this is a great movie.The most know scene is the one when baby car goes down among the shootings.Music is also great.
Unforgiven (1992)
One of Eastwood's great directing works.Extra-ordinary plot and western.When Eastwood comes back for revenge and starts drinking,the scene when he throws the bottle over to feet of horse in the rain , it was very striking moment.Great movie.Eastwood tells old men's stories as he gets older.
The Unbearable Lightness of Being (1988)
A man's life based on polygamy encounters a woman's monogamy world.I never understand what this got to do with soviet invasion.Movie splits up in half.
Two Lovers (2008)
Psychologically very strong movie.Palthrow is gergous and Phoenix does great acting.
True Lies (1994)
I do not care about plot, I do not even remember now but I remember everyhing about the scene Jamie Lee Curtis does.She is so hot and sexy.
Tropic Thunder (2008)
Ben Stiller :)) How a great guy he is.He's getting whole planet laughing.This movie has a universal kind.I had not laughed that much until I watched it.I got simply blown away.God what a movie.Do to yourself a favor and watch it.
The Ring (2002)
Now it is a horror masterpiece as much as Scream movie.It is a remake of a japanese movie and based on a novel.Scary and thrilling.
The international (2009)
It was nice to watch Haluk Bilginer and Istanbul.This is the story of banks to show people how far they can go.Not average neither great movie.
Tango & Cash (1989)
Thrilling and most of the time funny.I like this movie very much.Stallone and Russel does a great police couple.
Taking Lives (2004)
Jolie is not convincing at all and she still tries to do cool woman dedective roles.Plot is forced too much probably the novel story is not told as expected.
Tadpole (2002)
Most of every man in his life have sex with older women or falls in love with them.I realli like when the kid and his stepmother kisses.It is entertaining suprising and sometimes twisting.
Swimming Pool (2003)
I do remember its plain bare telling of murder and sexuality.This is the striking part of this movies.It is strong. may look to you slow but gradually you do not realize it.
The Stepford Wives (2006)
Again not suprisingly a town story ,that's thrown and forgotten with its strange secret and story.Average but still watchable.
Snatch(2000)
.jpg)
It's shot after fight club,watching Pitt in a similar role may be negative point.But still it is entertaining.
Silent Hill (2006)
.jpg)
It is very similar to Sutter Cane story, there is a town with strange secret and someone dives into it.This is really great work.
Showgirls (1995)
Verhoven's nice movie after Basic Instinct, it did not make the same affect however it is still nice.
Se7en (1995)
Excellent thriller,excellent movie.It's got an extraordinary story and ending.Pitt,Freeman,Spacey and Palthrow,great cast team.It's dark and scary.
Scarface (1983)
This is very known and nice movie.It reminds me of somehow always Michelle Pfeiffer.
Saving Private Ryan (1998)
The beginning of the raid is excellent.Spielberg does a great work.Spielberg does everything to make you feel the moments to every inches of your mind and body.
Runaway Train (1985)
Very original story.Think you just escaped from the prison and find yourself trapped in a runaway train.Voigt and Roberts's great acting.
Rounders (1998)
What comes to my mind first about this movie? Damon and Malkovich's playing, Jannsen's sexy looks,Norton's freaky moods.It is a nice story.
Ronin (1998)
One of my favourite movies.Car chasing scenes are perfect and the story itself.De Niro and Reno stars.
I love this movie, watched several times.There are some stupid points in the story but acting is great.De Niro,Reno,McElhone,Skarsgard,Bean and Pryce.What a cast team! There are some stupid points like for example I never understand why gregor needs to point a gun at a kid in the park,why de niro sets up a childish, stupid ambush to bean just to show his inability.It is not convincing.There are several ways to make a point but not this much childish.Of course the huge one is in the beginning :) De Niro hides that gun and makes his point.I think director wants people to think this is the though guy ,you have to buy it.It is funny.
Apart from these stupid points,that car chases are amazing.I think the best one is when De Niro and Reno point gun at Gregor and Seamus.It starts from that point.
I think what makes it great is that it starts without any music on the background,after some point it starts and it starts slowly ,step by step it gets stronger.There are some points in the car chase that it makes me think this it is realistic and convincing.Such as the motorcyle gets hit by the car,police car joins into the car chase in the tunnel, before car flies off the road McElchone's expression behind the wheel,a parisienne driver in the car gets shot in the tunnel,Seamus shots side-mirror of the car De Niro drives.The ambush car chase is also amazing but I choose this one because it is well thought planned and shot.I wonder how the director managed to shoot those scenes.
Few words for McElhone,I love that seduce game between De Niro and her.It is so perfect told that I start sensing it from the scene when they have that small quarrel in the room in Nice.McElhone plays that seduce game perfectly and she makes me sense that she's been dragged by De Niro little by little.She's attractive.

Reservoir Dogs (1992)
This movie was the first time I met Tarantino's cinema and it was wonderful.Great movie.Great scenario and it is very original.Violence is told and sold so flatly that you start querying violence itself and seeing ugly face of it.
