La La Land

acting 11:12:00
The pursuit of dreams is not such an easy matter. It's great when you have the support of your family and friends but when their reaction to your 'I will get an Oscar!', 'I will have my own company!', 'I will be a singer!', is a cynical 'Yes, you will...', you might have your wings trimmed. Go to a fortune teller and if...

The Young Victoria

Emily Blunt 03:28:00
Let's be honest. We are always controlled by someone. Our mothers want to stick their noses into our life decisions, our fathers picture a life for us that we might not picture for us at all. Our family members all add their wishful pieces of advice and manipulate us from the early years. It's been this way and it's probably going to stay...

Match Point

acting 10:24:00
Woody Allen once said that "If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans". You think that you are on the right path to success, your carefully made decisions are there to make you financially secure and prosperous in the years to come. You're there: happily married, at the peak of your reasonably chosen career. And then your life choices...

From Dusk till Dawn

action 05:53:00
In the case of Stockholm syndrome, you tend to develop feelings and affection towards the one who keeps you hostage.

Whitney

documentary 08:54:00
Once in a while, we are blessed by a wonderful gift. A woman is born with a talent that will survive the passing of time, generations, and fading fads. A woman who will be remembered by millions and by millions admired. But behind the curtain of talent, there's a person who is fragile, flawed, wants and needs to be loved. Sometimes the best...

Back to the Future

experiment 06:51:00
Selected few have access to the future. They see in cards, tea leaves, crystal bowl or the palm of your hand. Without a hesitation, they can forecast your life destiny, your choices, and things which will happen to you in a few years' time. But to see is not actually to be there and witness with your own body and soul. Have you...

Ava

escape 01:33:00
Remember when your breasts started appearing, making it necessary for you to buy a bra? Remember these patches of pubic hair, which signified that you are no longer a child and something in your body is about to change? Add to this generation gap, first crushes, and mood swings. But what if during all that madness you are on the summer vacation and...

Pretty Woman

business 05:01:00
Love. It makes kings abdicate, priests give up their promise of celibacy, people move to another city, and villains change. It's no laughing matter as it proves to be a significant factor in your pursuits, motifs, and targets. It puts your previous aims into perspective and makes the journey worth living. But can two people: one who sells what only love can give...

Forks Over Knives

cancer 02:58:00
We are struck by civilizational diseases. Obesity, hypertension, diabetes, heart failure. If you haven't developed any of the above yet give yourself some time. The problem with today's diet is that there's a lot of food available but the quality of it is rather poor. We consume a lot of preservatives, trans fats, fast foods, processed and pre-prepared foods. We enjoy it. They...

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.
