Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events

adventure 04:19:00
There was one big phase in films and literature when children were the focus of most stories. Kids were often abandoned by their parents, left to their own devices, which made them grow up faster than usual, deal with adult problems and experience adventures now everyone would like to have in life. One of such stories is a tale of three siblings trying...

The Man from U.N.C.L.E.

action 04:12:00
Do you remember the classic agent/spy stories with handsome men, beautiful women, luxurious hotels, gourmet food, great cities in the background and a mission of saving the world from war/annihilation/destruction/decimation of its people along the way? One such story takes us back in time to the breathtaking Rome when the USA, the USSR, and the UK were not particularly on good political terms....

An Education

Carey Mulligan 01:12:00
There's a choice between having an easy life, cutting short the path of your rise to adult life and enjoying the pleasures of financial security. All that glitters is not gold, however, and from time to time it is the life and the people we surround ourselves with who teach us that there are actually no shortcuts. And while some say that school...

Headhunters

action 01:09:00
If you crave entertainment slightly different from what you're used to watching, you probably need to see this film. There are many crime stories, predictable scenarios of good guys fighting bad guys in the endless chase of righteousness and evil. But what if you decided to be a criminal yourself? What if your life of wealth, happiness, and love was inherently a lie...

family 01:08:00
One thing is coming out to oneself and deciding to live a life true to your preferences and desires.

Melancholia

Charlotte Gainsbourg 01:07:00
Every now and then the news about the approaching end of the world circulates through the grapevine of our TV-sets. It forces us to say farewell to our family members, to look back on the life we had been living up to this moment. It makes us regret things that we did or did not commit. Usually, there is no Armageddon, we are...

What's in My Baggie

drugs 03:09:00
Apart from the fact that the majority of parents consider their progeny angels resistant to corruption, deprivation, and degeneration, we should have our eyes open. In an ideal country, there is no prostitution, drugs, and alcohol. Such country does not exist. Let's think again. In an ideal country, however, all the aspects that are already there (e.g. prostitution, drugs) are strictly monitored and...

Iris

fashion 03:07:00
Some people's lives are bricked by passion. Individuals transform their houses into chapels devoted to their hobbies, interests, pastimes, and pleasures. They treat their every day as an opportunity to find more, to create more and to make our lives upbeat by the touches of color. While food, housing, clothing, health and taking care of one's family are on most people's agenda, there...

The Scandalous Lady W

divorce 03:05:00
I think we don't fully appreciate the achievements of feminist movements, equality of sexes and possibility of divorce. Still, if you are a woman, every day at work you have to prove that you are good enough and you have to be at your best not only in front of men, but women also seem to be against you, waiting for your tiniest...

La Belle Personne/The Beautiful Person

beauty 03:03:00
An example of a story in which physical attractiveness is a source of lust and doom. Don't you find it strange that men fall for the appearance attributing to a woman traits that are their dream traits, not taking her character into account? Beautiful girls - the reason for men's infatuation, the source of girls' low self-esteem and jealousy and a big mistake...

Away We Go

children 00:37:00
There are people whose dream is to start a family. They know what they would like their family to look like, what values they would want to teach to their children, what mistakes they would like to avoid. It is rarely a lesson we learn at school. At times your family is a clash of accidents, circumstances, giggles of fate. You dream of...

Rocks in My Pockets

animation 00:35:00
Mental diseases are still taboo for some. And while people openly talk about cancer, sexuality, the break-up of the relationship, problems with mental health are considered dangerous, alien and unknown. We tend to associate mental problems with serial killers, murderers, assassins, people who inflict pain on their closest relatives. That's a drop in the ocean. Depression, neurosis, fear, schizophrenia, phobias. Look around in...

Edward Scissorhands

fantasy 00:33:00
This one's a classic. Once there was a boy created in a Pinocchio-like manner, soon abandoned by the father, a boy who desperately tried to fit in.   A boy with scissors instead of hands and very limited knowledge of the human nature. In a pastel picture-perfect suburbia there were people seduced by his abilities and uniqueness. It was a community which at first...

Undress me

romance 00:32:00
What turns you on? Is it the body or is it the brain? As a girl do you have feminine or masculine interests? As a man do you pay attention to details which are for most men unseen? Is your mind sensitive to colors, smells, and art? As a woman, are you a tidy person or do you leave socks with the intensity...

On the nature of pictures

*Every Google image belongs to someone and this someone should be noted. However, if pictures are scenes from the film they most probably belong to owners of the film/producers. I use saved screens of the Google compilation of pictures, thus the pictures of pictures, which I take, cut and edit myself (as a derivative use). They are used for reviewing purposes (fair use), not for diminishing the films' profits by stealing what rightly belongs to them. Copyright is tricky, let's get used to it.
