more Turkish films

Again it has been sometime since my last update. But I think I'm getting better at this :)
So after Knockout Ali Last Ottoman I have watched two awful Turkish comedies in theaters.
One of them is
Maskeli Beşler:Irak (Masked Five:Iraq) Masked Five are five orphans who remain friends since their years at the state orphanage. These guys are incompetent, unattractive and stupid but their hearts are in the right place. So when they watch Iraq causing trouble at the petrol line, they decide to go to that particular pump area and take the US soldiers hostages and turn the tap on for the petrol line from Iraq to Turkey. Yeah this is like a fantasy comedy. And it was bad. The cast is all overacting side kick actors we get to know from TV series (one of them Peker Açıkalın, in the picture, became sort of the flavor of the month with his role in one of TV comedy series) and none of them really stand out. Obviously the majority of the budget went into explosion scenes (there are two). This film is yawn.

But the soundtrack was not bad.

The other bad film was called

Çılgın Dersane (Crazy Supplement School)
The Supplement School is to better prepare you for the "exam" - the nightmare of high school students.
Returning to this film, it is an American Pie wanna be only it is PG13 and there is only one female nipple on show. The story revolves around high school seniors(played by mid twenty actors and Shall We Dance reality show winners)who enroll to a supplement school whose promotion is giving lessons at a holiday resort. So we see girls in bikinis, guys in trunks and there are meaningless skit like events (which causes the film's trailer to be better than the film) and a lame-o romantic plot. Do yourselves a favor and stay out of this one. Rent American Pie, at least you'll laugh.





Here are the links to websites of each film if you want to watch trailers "fragman" is the word we use for them.
