LOL

daughters 01:20:00
Everything first is a step to the unknown. First bicycle ride makes us look like idiots completely out of control. Then there's adolescence. First kiss, first crush, first love, first sex seem to be equally awkward. There are no guidelines, no certain words of wisdom what to do and what to avoid. There is no guarantee that the first ones are going to...

Brokeback Mountain

Ang Lee 07:55:00
Is your family divided between two various concepts of an acceptable lifestyle? Do marriage, tradition, and religion play a big role in major family decisions and celebrations? Have your family members stopped talking to each other due to grudges, prejudices or different political views? It happens to families, and equally, it can divide nations.  There are stories which annoy many. There are taboos which...

Underground

animals 08:10:00
We know so little about the history of our nations. We fail to remember the most important facts from our own history, not to mention the affairs of great empires and building economies. We witness the history happening in front of our eyes to tell our children what it was like to live on the verge of two centuries, but is that enough?...

Small Town Killers/Dræberne fra Nibe

black comedy 08:20:00
Marriage. It makes people climb the peaks of the highest mountains and falls into the traps of the deepest swamps. What if the butterflies in your stomach turned into bitter irritation and annoyance with your life partner? What if sex was no longer satisfying and, as a matter of fact, it was utterly non-existent? What if at the sheer thought of spending one...

American Honey

driving 09:56:00
Life is not on the pages of gossip magazines. It happens not in the glamorous million dollar houses and television studios of your favorite TV-show. Forget the bullshit you listen to on TV. Forget about politicians' lies, beautiful faces of trust fund babies, dreams of Hollywood wives, degrees of Ivy League universities. Find the true America in its rich and poor, in its...

education 23:31:00
There is something wrong with the educational system of today, as it teaches you the greatest thoughts of the most accomplished, the most brilliant concepts of those most devoted to science and philosophy, but it still allows you to fail at life. Why theory has so little to do with practice? Why, even though you have brains, you make mistakes in friendships, relationships...

Contagion

disease 10:16:00
According to Wikipedia, the Black Death killed between 75 and 200 million people (out of about 450 million). It was spread by lovely flees who inhabited black rats and had an easier way to commute. The population of the planet was significantly lower. Now it's over seven billion people.  It is more than probable that the world at some point will be hit...

A Cure for Wellness

Europe 12:29:00
It's always fun to watch something different, something which doesn't bombard you with tons of shooting scenes, crashed cars and unbelievable special effects. Something which doesn't sell you the impossible love and stereotypical battle with good and evil. If you want to enter an institution which questions your mental well-being, where nothing is what it seems and where there's a mystery reaching a...

Frankie and Johnny

abuse 06:00:00
Remember that time when everybody was supposed to be a movie star, another it girl and high hopes crashed with the reality of a day job without prospects? Everybody was supposed to achieve something and the same everybody happened to lead an ordinary life with fewer and fewer dreams. But down-to-earth is available to all of us. Little cramped apartments, living from month...

Indecent Proposal

business 02:34:00
How much do you value love? Would you give up your last penny to be with the person you love? Would you resign from the financial security of marriage to be with the person you really care about (romancing for years, but not cutting the final ties with your knotted idea of a marriage which had failed long before)? Kings and vagabonds equally...

It requires a lot of strength to take a step forward. It requires courage to use personal experiences to drag the rest towards a more just, more equal world. Sometimes the greatest tragedy is a precedence that can help others win what is truly theirs from the beginning. Sometimes people need the precedence to make them admit that they were wrong, that there...

A Beautiful Mind

abuse 23:23:00
Problems are here to overcome them. Life would be dull if we were here only for our uncomplicated, monotonous, perfect lives, surrounded by answers to every question, cures for every illness. But we strive for development, improvement, change. We think hard on matters that would help our people feel better about themselves, help them relieve the pain, travel faster and safer. For this,...

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.
