Weekend Film: 'Labor Day' (2013)
Sometimes I really stuck, while searching for a good film to watch. I must confess, that I'm really requiring a person if we talk about movies. I really miss good-old films sometimes. Warm as Summer evening, light and simple, which brings some food to think. On my long road, sitting on a bus, feeling like my legs hurting and heart jumping - I…

'Labor Day' Peach Pie
Or better say: 'Labor Day' Peach Pie (Upgraded). First of all, I really have to say, that I enjoyed the film ' Labor Day ' (2013) very much. This film made my hard road to Germany much easier and brighter. About this unusual, warm story read later, and today - pie! In the film there's a very simple peach pie recipe, I decided to make…

Only Lovers Left Alive (2013)
Uh, here's the thing: I promised myself to write about this film because I have something to say about it. Of course, only laziest cinemaholic in the world hadn't written about this movie yet, that's why my post will be super short (just like my impression from the film). 'Only Lovers Left Alive' is about a romance between two. T…

Nymphomaniac Vol.II (2013)
Well, kids, I won't talk a lot today. 'Nymphomaniac Vol. II' is like a mirroring of the first part: somehow it looks the same, but you know that it' totally different. Without some special enthusiasm, I'll try to explain my point. And don't worry: I won't spoil anything.

Nymphomaniac Vol.I (2013)
Honestly? I didn't expect much from Lars von Trier's 'Nymphomaniac'. First of all, because of massive advertising. Every single website, that has even a tiny column about art/culture/movies/music was encouraged to write about the film. In my hometown, we have only a few good cinema halls, but you even cannot imagine how many films are no…

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…

Nebraska (2013)
I have never been to the US, but if I could choose where to travel there, it would be definitely not only NYC or SF. Films have always been my little windows on the beautiful fields and infinite roads of the US. Old-school road cafes, cars exactly from the middle of 60's or 70's and so many different people, colorful places, myriads of stories.…

Weekend Film: Quartet (2013)
On Sunday I like to watch something 'easy' and light, good-old dramas or classy comedies etc. Today I decided to ignore this good habit and for some reason, I watched Trier's 'Antichrist' (about this film a bit later of course). After I understood, that maybe my 'easy-classy-good-old' tradition wasn't so bad or boring?! Th…
