Olive Kitteridge (Mini Series, 2014)
Let's be honest: 2014 was really full of different events, a lot of great and horrible things happened in the world and in our personal lives, but it was definitely not the best year for cinematography. Nevertheless, last year (I still wanna write 'this year':) HBO presented a real treasure, a story which took roots deeply in my mind. I'…

Broad City (TV Series, 2014)
I'm thankful for that day when I discovered ' Broad City '. It's hard to disagree, that nowadays it's not easy to find hilarious and fresh comedy. Usually jokes are super primitive, characters absolutely non-charismatic and it's hard to run away from 'I've-seen-it-all-before' feeling. But one day, two absolutely n…

Mad Men: Season 7 Premiere TONIGHT!
I'm on my tiny vacations (it means I'm doing nothing, having a long stroll with my best friend, drinking wine and watching movies), but of course I must write about Mad Men's premiere. Season 7, the final season (which will consist of two parts, the second we'll see only in 2015), the end of Don Draper's journey. I'm excited an…

Dallas Buyers Club (2013)
Please meet Ron Woodroof, a cowboy, barfly, roisterer and total homophobic bastard. And one day Ronny founds out, that he's HIV positive and has only 30 days left to live. Outside we have 80's, so actually it's not hard to guess how many myths exist around HIV positive people, or around people, who have AIDS. For Ron Woodroof's life take…

The Hunt (Jagten, 2013)
Every Sunday I write about films that are good to watch in the evening, with a glass of milk (tomorrow's Monday, remember?:). Mostly those films are simple, good-old and easy to watch. Today I will tell you (and show some captured moments) about the thought-provoking film, which I recommend to watch no matter what day it is... I found ' The Hu…

Looking (2014, TV Series)
In the middle of January HBO presented new TV series about three friends from San Francisco. They're living and loving, dreaming and trying to get their own piece of cake in this chaotic world. Few words about the characters. Patrick is a very talented video game designer. He's honest (sometimes even too much;), funny and cute. Next - Ag…

An Ode to Lena Dunham
I think that today is a perfect day to confess: I love and truly adore Lena Dunham. If you ask me with whom I would like to have a chat - I answer you: with Lena. She's the one and only celebrity (hah! yes!) that I would really like to know in a real life. And I feel sad that I probably will never meet her. I started to be interested i…

Jessica Lange Day
If you asked me about my favorite actresses - you would hear Jessica Lange's name. Jessica Lange for me is a perfect combination of beauty, wisdom, charisma and talent. She's 64 and still beautiful. And if you seen at least few episodes of American Horror Story - Jessica can be magnetically attractive. Last Saturday I made a little film m…

Oh Boy (2012)
Watching, how the German cinematography is growing up fascinates me.(Few next sentences you can easily skip;) Why? Because when I was in the beginning of my teenage I thought, that Germans are filming a). super cool and famous porn b). TV series about a good guys, who catch criminals (with dogs or with a clown masks on their faces). Later I became familiar …
