animals 05:39:00
Remember your college experience? These endless hours of cramming before the exams, social groups dividing themselves according to interests, political views, and financial status? Your first nights away from your parents, your first heart breaks and sexual escapades? Evening classes and lonesome coming back home at 3 am, one-night stands, random acquaintances, and broken friendships? Crazy parties and irrational challenges resembling prison bullying?...

When the tragedy happens, you are always there to give good advice, you know better, it will be all fine in the end. Unwanted pregnancy?

action 08:42:00
We have so many things to occupy us on this planet, so many problems, challenges, dilemmas, that we forget that there are many more problems, challenges, and dilemmas, which we cannot even comprehend. There might be creatures that don't resemble anything we are familiar with, there might be civilizations which face threats of being extinct, there are conflicts which are not based on...

Before I Fall/The Butterfly Effect

PrevNext
Every single decision leads to something. The way you treat your friends, partners and parents depends on how you will be treated by your friends, partners, and children. The time when you decide on your career will make other life options unavailable. The moment you say something unpleasant will depend on whether you will later regret it or try to make it up...

Easy Virtue

Colin Firth 01:47:00
It's great to have a family which supports your every decision, stands by your every dream and is your helping hand in times of your mistakes, failures, and heartbreaks. It makes every family meeting a pleasure and every holiday spent together an event worth waiting for. At least for some. But let's be realistic: if you find yourself among people who visibly don't...

adventure 02:38:00
Let's agree on one thing. People are irritating. They disturb your peace of mind in the means of public transport, they seem to be more successful than you, own things that you don't own, attempt to steal from you what you value the most. Oh, the world is such an irritating place, so unfair... Why not push your irritation to the limits and...

Death at a Funeral

black comedy 02:28:00
Funerals are usually deeply sad occasions. Families gather to say goodbye to their beloved, eat a dinner dressed with tears, recall the final moments of the deceased, cherish memories, which in time will only fade. It's natural. People die. We will all die, whether we want to avoid it or not. There shouldn't be any taboo surrounding death. But the final day of...

Casting JonBenet

acting 23:48:00
It's easy to judge when the tragedy doesn't touch us. It's easy to find the guilty ones once we don't have to point fingers at our friends, family members, and workmates. It's, on the other hand, crushing to be in the shoes of people who were touched by an event, which lingered for years, leaving the unperishing sense of loss. The loss which...

The Motorcycle Diaries / Diarios de motocicleta

disease 03:06:00
Let's go! Let's set off on a journey across a continent, across cities, mountains, villages, deserts, mines, rivers and historic monuments. Let's skip the school for a while, let's forget about textbooks, parents' words of wisdom, teachers' guidelines. Let's open our eyes and see the unexplored, the wild and the untamed. Let's compare what we think about the world to what the world...

Below Her Mouth

homosexuality 08:48:00
In the company of wrong people, there's always something missing. In a bad friendship, there are gaps of honesty, loyalty, and humor. In a bad relationship, there are gaps of happiness, fulfillment, and joy. We meander, changing our jobs, interests and life influences. But if there's something missing we are likely to give up even the biggest efforts, years of devotion and commitment,...

crime 09:11:00
War. It takes years to raise a human being. It takes the pain of childbirth to bring a child onto this planet. It takes years of sleepless nights, money for education, food and shelter to raise a human to adulthood. It takes years to save money for a house, to build a family, to start a career. It takes money to buy weapons....

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.
