The Devil Wears Prada

The Devil Wears Prada is a film I just didn't know why I have started to watch and kept watching until the end yet again. But I did. The book is better by the way. 

Behind Her Eyes

Behind Her Eyes got great reviews and I love murder mysteries with a twist. Unfortunately this reminded me a lot of The Girl On The Train. Not because it has a similar plot, no, more like multiple point of view chapters with Brit life of women from different financial and social stratas. I do like Brit literature and the last thing I normally would complain would be the Britness of a novel but this one kept reminding me of The Girl on The Train and the latter is superior (or I think that way because I heard it first I don't know). The readers were nice but they all sounded like the same person to me. One thing I'll say about this one, I never saw the twist coming. Not at all and was flabbergasted at the end. So I'm not unhappy. 

I Saw The Devil

I Saw The Devil is a film I thought I wouldn't be able to watch again since it devastated me at the first viewing. But just as I did with Old Boy I returned to this and I'm happy that I did since this viewing was also very good and now knowing how the things will go on I was not emotionally unprepaid. It is very violent, gory and scary but also worth viewing in both cinematic and thematic senses. 

The Neon Demon

The Neon Demon having loved this director's visual sensibilities, it was hard to watch Only God Forgives (I actually fell asleep and my mother kept watching until the end, declaring it not a good film but nevertheless watching it to the end). The Neon Demon is almost as good as Drive as far as I'm concerned. And the only good character is probably the one in the above photo. My mother again declared this to be not a good film but continued to watch it to the end. 

About Elly

About Elly (Darbareye Elly) turned out to be a very good film that kept me on my toes for the most time. The characters were all amazingly true to life and one can't help but get sucked in to the story. The actors were all good too and I'm very happy with this film. Asghar Farhadi is becoming one of my favorite directors.

Romeo+Juliet I remember liking very much when I saw it in theatre back in the day. I like it even better now. 

The Doubt Factory

The Doubt Factory turned out to be a YA novel which is not necessarily good. I mean it is better than some of the ones I have read but still not on par with his other novels (especially The Wind-Up Girl)
