Jane Eyre

boarding school 05:10:00
Before every teenage girl fell for Edward, the handsome and protective vampire from The Twilight Saga and every girl/woman boosting up her sexual fantasies got herself besotted with Christian Grey from Fifty Shades of Grey, for decades there was another love story which colored the gloomy evenings of romantic souls. It seems that we love the idea of a strong independent woman who,...

The Girl with All the Gifts/ World War Z

action 08:00:00
Sooner or later in life, we take into account the fact that our future might be shaped by a completely different conflict.

Future is yet unknown but, having witnessed...

Wuthering Heights

children 09:56:00
Never underestimate the power of love. You might rationally weigh the pros and cons of forming a relationship, entering into a marriage, conceiving a child and building a house together.

Dangerous Liaisons/ Cruel Intentions

Glenn Close 11:34:00
Love is a dangerous game and being too confident in any game can make you lose from your own weapon.

In the society, which in the past fed on gossip just as now it...

Assassination Nation

crime 12:52:00
We, humans, are prone to aggression. Hatred like a ticking bomb with every second overflows the taught cultural behavior and we are willing to go on the streets and fight for what we believe in. And approach those who dare to have a different opinion. Technology accumulated this trait and turned it into social media hatred, allowing us to express our opinions anonymously...

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.
