The band which sold the biggest number of records in the history of humankind is undoubtedly The Beatles. It inspired millions, billions even, to invest in love, friendship, and peace. It showed that true love lasts despite racial differences and assassinations, it taught us about lasting careers and universal truths which are still adequate despite the passing of time. No wonder that music and lyrics by John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and George Harrison enchanted millions and were an inspiration for many movie makers. Fancy a love story with difficult history and politics in the background or do you have a craving for big laughs and contemporary romantic comedy with a pinch of the modern music scene? Cool and cult for music fans of all ages and a decent tribute to the greatest music ever written. There's no accounting for tastes, but, let's admit, the Beatles won the hearts of us all. Across the Universe and Yesterday. Enjoy.
Every day thousands of women receive an unwanted diagnosis. From the problems of weight gain, the lack of money, relationship break-down or job loss, they are hit with something which requires all their strength and resistance.

One man's talents are easily used for big purposes. Head-hunters seek for hidden treasures to make them join the forces of big corporations. Huge labels look for young designers to replace the aging ones or those who died leaving the empires behind. Food and clothes companies use the faces of successful sportsmen and artists to market their products and earn billions. These people have something which companies lack: talent and it factor, bringing the extraordinary out of the ordinary. Extracting the godlike out of hair shampoos and baked beans. Sometimes the whole purpose of entrepreneurship depends on one single talented individual. What if one such boy was hired for criminal activity? What if he tried to get away from the shady business and live a life of his own? Filled with action, Baby Driver.
