Aladdin





What a great and superb industry it is!!!!??

I Love Walt Disney with its wonderful stories behind the hands of the greatest animators ever in the world.

I watched the HD version of the film.I don't wanna say anything about the story of Aladdin.but wanna talk about how excellent these creators and writers and animators of the movie transfer every aspects and attributes of a human being only by some words and some simple moves.Lie,jealousness,frank,truth,being yourself,love and blah blah blah.

It is released in1992 but it is like that movie of 2000.with high technics and high sense of humor that makes the person who watches laugh to the ground and cry to the sky.

They have obeyed ancient arabian-iranian culture and theme and have mixed it with some elements of todays cultures,especially in the scenes of Genie.

The Voice of Genie is one advantage and powerful point of view.Robin Williams is behind that voice and has performed his job really well.

I want you to watch the film yourself and comment me the result.

Vicky Christina Barcelona


One afternoon,when I and Hesam were watching Trailer.Hesam saw the title Vicky Christina Barcelona(VCB) and asked me to watch the trailer.I opened it and at first the cast exhilirated us...Javier Bardem(No Country For Old Men)...Scarlett Johanson(The Island)....Penelope Cruz(Volver)

Then as the film was playing on,one scene shocked us....WOW...Scarlett and Penelope were kissing eachother.Hesam paused the trailer,and from then on, we banned the film.

3days ago I saw the axxo rip version of the movie in a site and told myself...Hey man,Be open minded,first watch the movie and then decide to ban in or not.so I Download it and one sweet afternoon I watched it carefully.

At the end I felt so disgusted that it took 2 days to recover mentally.

I don't know enough info about Woody Allen and his Character but overall in this film he just ruins the definition of love so bad that when an Allen Fan watches the movie,definitely he or she would be upset about the film....

But on the otherside...If we close eyes on the topic and the subject that is discussed in the film,the acts are good...the location is really beautiful....I told myself after this film that you must one day go and visit Barcelona.

The Stoning of Soraya Manouchehri



When you want to watch a perfect movie,there must be a lot of good elements that come together and make the film smooth and elegant.
Soraya M is one of those. Perfectly chosen cast, perfect cinematography, perfect editing, excellent acts and blablabla.

The film is about the first years of Iran's 1979 revolution, The location is one of western cities of Iran. It is based on a true story and from the first minute it takes you to the situation itself and you become one of the characters.

The main focus in the film is on how restrict and rigid would Islam be, if it is controlled by hands of some Ignorant clergymen.

There were some negative points in the film that bothered me.
for example, The film implies that all muslims are some strict people that the don't feel anything and only try to follow the rules of Islam without a logical reason.It could show a bright side of Islam too.Suppose that a foreigner who doesn't have any information about Islam watches the movie and see how a past criminal-clergyman does anything in the name of Islam.how would his vision of Islam would be after the film.

But the unique parts of the movie that effects all other elements is the powerful act of Shohreh Aghdashlu. She has the characteristics and attitude of a real Iranian woman.

Overall the movie is remarkable and is deserved to be watched for several times.

New York,I Love You




I love this man.You know who I am talking about,don't you?

I AM TALKING ABOUT FATIH AKIN.

director of Head-on. one of the best movies of my life. I hope you have seen it.

ok. I just watched his (Akin) latest movie.It was really different. Several directors had been working on it and the outcome was really remarkable. Little taste of love in every minute gives you energy to just live your life and seek the love of your one. I really enjoyed the film, the cast was perfectly chosen and each episode was one of it's own. The music takes you to the context and the cinematography was smooth.

I enjoyed 4 episodes of it.Can you guess it?!!

The Hotel: The act of Shia Labouf was as always perfect and I can't dear to say anything about madame Julie Christie.

The musician: The script was the way I liked it and it has a personal reason why I liked it

The painter: The part that Fatih directed it and the forbidden love is clearly noticeable.

and the last episode,The Grands: The directors want to say that the pure love can maintain until the last moment of your life.

And my last point is about the title of the movie.It is not only about New York but also about the city that you live in.The scenes of streets and the dialogues between the people in the street reminds me of Paulo Coelo's quote about the city."You must make yourself lost in a strange city to find the ones who have the signs of life in them and then you will find yourself in them
