Up for Love/Un homme à la hauteur

Belgium 02:30:00
A very silly thing in life is to expect to fall in love with someone of the similar background, comparative age, the same nationality and religion, weight, hair color and... height. We live in the time of haters when people openly comment on each other, criticize and shame others for various reasons. Standing for what you believe in and for the ones you...

King Kong

We conquered the world. But, as history proved us wrong, showing that who was once the master can very soon be...

Out of Africa

adventure 00:36:00
European scenarios are so predictable. We live in our cities and towns, juggling work and family life, treating ourselves with an occasional holiday to exotic resorts and white sandy beaches. Having everything provided, our health well-taken care of, our food bought in a supermarket, we forget that there are different worlds just waiting for us to explore. Sometimes a revolution requires a one-way...

Till det som är vackert/Pure

Alicia Vikander 08:53:00

You'd think that being born in a poor, slightly pathological family can put an end to your well-lived life, but there are moments which...

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.
