Turist Ömer Uzay Yolunda (1973)
Trivia
1. The character "Turist Ömer / Omer the Tourist" played by Sadri Alisik was first introduced as a sidekick in the movie "Helal Olsun Ali Agbi", starring Ayhan Isik. The character became very popular and 7 films were shot for this character between 1964-1973. This movie is the last one. 2. The 7 Turist Ömer movies are: - Turist Ömer / Omer the Tourist (1964) - Turist Ömer Dümenciler Krali / King of the Con-Men (1965) - Turist Ömer Almanya'da / In Germany (1966) - Turist Ömer Arabistan'da / In Arabia (1969) - Turist Ömer Yamyamlar Arasında / Among Cannibals (1970) - Turist Ömer Boga Güresçisi / The Bullfighter (1971) - Turist Ömer Uzay Yolunda / Star Trek (1973) 3. Star Trek was very popular in Turkey at the time. Because of that, the crew of USS Enterprise were played by the dubbing artists of the show in Turkish TV channel TRT, which was the only channel at the time. 4. The adventure of USS Enterprise in this film (the story with the salt-monster) was taken from an episode of the original show. 5. The film contains multiple Turkish jokes. They're mostly shown as the funny clash between Omer's humorous character and Spock's rationality.
Angels & Demons (2009)
The movie and the book must be evaluated separately
Two days ago, I've finished reading the Dan Brown's novel and right after I've watched the movie.
First of all: Do not ever do like this! :) (I'm talking not only for "Angels & Demons" but for all novel adaptations.)
Because the novel will cloud your judgement about the movie. Yes, I totally agree with the comments saying "the movie is way different than the book" but it is impossible to adapt a whole book for a certain amount of time. Therefore changes are inevitable.
Considering that, I might say that the movie is an above average Hollywood production with lots of action and mystery. My point is 6.5/10.
Like I wrote, I can understand changes but why did they change some names of characters? (Like Camerlengo Carlo Ventresca - Camerlengo Patrick McKenna or Cpt.Rocher-Cpt.Richter) That was the only thing I couldn't understand.
Vizontele (2001)
Very well...
After the scene that the TV get first started, you realize that you were in the same place like the villagers. Until that scene, the date is unknown (only thing we know is seventies) and after that, you "exactly" can say, on what date these people live and what's going on!
I liked it... and still like. One of the good (probably the best) Turkish movies in the last decade.
