There are few series in our lives that are worth every second of our time, that burst with originality, idea, quality and that leave you breathless, keep you constantly tense and that you will never forget. Such are, for example: Sopranos, X Files, Oz, and they are certainly joined...
One of the most pleasant film surprises in 2011 is definitely this great sports drama by Gavin O’Connor, who has a great Pride and Glory behind him, but for whom sports dramas are definitely a specialty and a passion. Miracle, one of, in my opinion, the best sports dramas...
This project by popular Canadian director Denis Villeneuve, who specializes in making films on the subject of human drama, was nominated for an Oscar in 2009 in the category of best foreign films. The award was then taken by the Danish representative In Better World, but a large number...
Kevin Spacey is a man who, with his undeniable acting qualities and spontaneous charisma, manages to enrich every project in which he takes part. Performing on his recent works, I came across this film, which did not go very well with either the audience or the critics, but I...

Quite by accident, I came across this film and as a fan of sports projects, I decided to watch it without any expectations. After watching it, I looked at several sites and was surprised by numerous positive comments about this film, because I did not find anything interesting, convincing...
The notion of human trafficking is rightly considered a euphemism for the word slavery, because it successfully "softens" something that is really scary and disgusting. This film was greeted with great support, because it explicitly shows the fate of such a girl, who was made an easy target for...
Martin Scorsese is a man who very rarely misses a movie. The average viewer might think that this historical drama is too much for work, but the director gathered a great team of professionals who managed to get the most out of the given script and their acting abilities....
