Mermaids

accident 05:02:00
Like mother, like daughter, they say. It's difficult enough to be a mother to a young developing woman, but having an atypical mother can be equally hard.

Sometimes, the roles change and daughters take over the responsibilities of the mother....

Based on a True Story/D'après une histoire vraie

Eva Green 09:23:00
Finding a good idea for a story might be hard, especially if your inspiration is derived from real people, real problems, and real events around you. Sometimes, you can experience writer's block which can amount to bigger breaks in your writing routine. You know, success is nice, but it is equally hard to digest. It's good then to find someone equally interested in...

My Girl

accident 05:54:00
Once there was a time when kids didn't spend all day at home, playing computer games and surfing the web. Once the magic happened outside, in the backyards, gardens, and parks. You would climb the mountains of your imagination, ride a bike all day long, trespass adults with your own ideas about the grown-up world, discuss life and relationships with your friends, and...

Tully

Charlize Theron 23:24:00
No one promised that managing a newborn would be easy. Sleepless nights, constant struggles with lactation, smaller and bigger problems with the rest of the family, and you alone to balance it all.

Rain Man

brothers 07:27:00
Relationships with our parents seem to be hard. We wish for the support and unconditional love, but very often we get too high expectations, abuse, negligence, and the lack of understanding. The same is with siblings - it's a lottery game when you're not really sure whether they will turn out to be your enemies or friends. We all need a positive relationship...

Kramer vs. Kramer

children 07:43:00
It's mean to spoil the expensive wedding cake, ignore the beautiful and carefully chosen wedding dress, and disregard invited family and friends. But marriage is more than one-day ceremony. It's supposed to last years and very often it ends in the middle of the way, leaving at least one spouse heartbroken. The hell of divorce usually touches upon more than parents. If there...

American Psycho

black comedy 04:23:00
There's something tempting in the life of young urban professionals. It's easy to name a few. Their immaculate dress code, their rigorous routine of exercises for the purpose of achieving a perfectly sculpted body. Their high earnings, which guarantee luxurious apartments, meals at fancy restaurants, designer clothes, lavish parties, and the charm of business cards, which state their position among lower income classes....

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.
