Safety Not Guaranteed

adventure 04:36:00
Sometimes you need a person who will turn your world upside down. Maybe what you believed in didn't really ring true and had no correspondence to your life? Maybe you craved a little bit of magic because you forgot about your childhood naivety and, instead, you got engrossed in your career and responsibilities? Possibly you desired a different perspective and the answer to...

Floating Skyscrapers/Płynące Wieżowce

gays 01:26:00
I believe that soon the concept of gender will disappear completely and people won't pay attention to what kind of relationships you are in. Some taboos should, however, be broken, some eyes opened to the diversity and some countries taught the necessary tolerance, even though sometimes it takes years. Poland is one of such countries. And this is one beautiful story about love,...

Dead Poet Society

acting 09:12:00
Education is the key to success, they say. Even though the majority of subjects are either too boring or too difficult, or completely unnecessary in life. But if you had no access to education, if it was too expensive or due to your sex, religion or background - forbidden, you would appreciate its every stage. The beauty is in the process. Sometimes it's...

Apocalypto

adventure 00:00:00
Once there was a time when tribal instincts guaranteed the survival of the fittest. Once there were no hospitals but people used the blessings of nature to recover from diseases. Once giving birth to a child was as natural as killing an animal for food. And once humans were driven by such inexplicable drives that they could cause the annihilation of the whole...

Les Visiteurs

adventure 09:20:00
When it comes to time travel I am a little bit inexperienced. As they say: never been there, never done that. But when you take a pair of medieval guys with their coat of arms, honor, duties, and beliefs, and you put them in the contemporary civilization, the result has to be interesting. From cars, through houses, clothes, toilet refreshers, cutlery to modern...

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

action 10:49:00
It seems that Jane Austen needed some brushing up after years of money-related arranged marriages which always seemed to end in true love affairs. We got bored. Of the handsome Mr. Darcy, independent Elizabeth, awkward mother, typecast sisters and greedy lovers with mischievous intentions. We needed a kick of adrenaline. Badly. Although I was thoroughly skeptical about the whole concept, I must say...

Dune

adventure 07:02:00
If you think that space odysseys are limited to Star Wars, you might be wrong. There are love stories beyond our galaxies, there are adventures beyond our access, enemies beyond our comprehension and trade wars over substances we cannot define. If you crave an entrance to the fantasy or an evening adventure with one good classic, this is a film for you. Dune. ...

Stargate

adventure 06:43:00
Science allowed us to treat diseases which we were incapable of curing years before. It enabled us to contact each other over a long distance, to travel thousands of kilometers within days and to cut the publishing process and distribution of digital press to seconds. Possibly it could enable us to travel through time and galaxies. What if in Egypt there was an...

Laggies

Chloë Moretz 02:04:00
Life is apparently divided into stages. You have your primary school friends with whom you play after finishing your homework. Then you hang out with your teenage peers, trying out the forbidden pleasures of life, choosing your professional path or making the standard mistakes. Then you have your college/university pals who help you mature and get into the adult world. Then it's your...

The Lady in the Van

friendship 04:39:00
It seems that temporary solutions prove to be the most permanent. Possibly, be it by accident or by the giggle of fate, you just started living in one place and you stayed there for years, not noticing the passing of time. It might be that along the way you met people who stayed with you for years, to bid you not any farewell...

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.
