Can't Cope, Won't Cope Season 2 was not as good as season 1. And I'm nuot sure the photo above is from Season 1 or 2. Anyway I was entertained but not moved.

Deliha 2

Deliha 2 öyle oyalanırken karşıma çıktı ve neden olmasın diye kaydetmeye karar vermişken gün içinde tam başlangıcına denk gelince oturup izledim. Öncelikle dişi Recep İvedik ve entelektüelliğin aşağılanması kısımları biraz itici evet ama aynı zamanda feminist söylemi, entelektüellik adı altında yapaylığın, özentiliğin eleştirilmesi hoşuma gidiyor. Seviyorm Gupse Özay'ı ben. Ha güldüm mü hayır, ama ben komedi filmlerine ender gülen bir izleyiciyim (Bir Jackie Chan filmine ailecek bir de There is Something About Mary filminde kahkahalarla güldüğümü hatırlarım, hatta karnım ağrımıştı, GORA'ya da gülmüştüm biraz galiba neyse). O kadar da kötü değildi bence. 

La Cueva (In Darkness We Fall)

La Cueva (In Darkness We Fall) is a film I saw an add on twitter. It looked nice so I decided to give it a try. It turned out to be a found footage film of 5 friends going on a trip to a beautiful island and deciding to go into a cave to explore a bit before swimming. A bad decision. Anyway I thought this was going to be a creature feature but it was better (for me). It depicts the sorry state of humanity when it is confronted with survival at stake. The friends turn on each other and it was very nicely depicted, great used of found footage trope and furthermore the visuals were actually very good. You can spot the final girl right away and this time she earned it people, she truly earned it. 

Mudbound

Mudbound turned out to be a boring film that tells a fascinating story. It would have been much better as a mini series. Actors were all good but the script and the direction were not to my taste at all. 

The Warning (El Aviso)

The Warning (El Aviso) only interested me by its plot. I did not know it was a Spanish film (and unhappily surprised in the opening credits) but it turned out a film that appealed to me in more than one way. Firstly I liked the cinematography a lot. It is the clean type that I love with lots of close ups on the actors faces. Secondly the plot interested me. There were some holes but I liked it a lot. And it involves time travel of sorts (which is my least favorite trope). Anyway I recommend this for some fine acting, interesting plot and good Spanish Spanish (I'm learning Spanish Spanish so other Spanish accents are not immediately clear to me. 

Beasts Of No Nation

Beasts of No Nation child soldiers are the shame of humanity. The way people, humans can treat children this way should be severely punished. I didn't want to watch this film but I saw it at a list and thought why not? And it turned out to be a well made film telling a horrible experience of a small boy who is made a child soldier. I highly recommend. 

The Mountain Between Us

The Mountain Between Us well I had seen this sometime ago on a flight and I think I have not put it in here so here it is. Well, this was not a good film despite loving Kate Winslet I just couldn't get into it. There was no chemistry (and I'm not into Idris Elba, at all), the story didn't evoke any feelings in me, anyway safely skip.
