The Illusionist

A movie about a life of a young Illusionist.
As a child he always tried to make tricks and illusions. That is how how met a pretty girl his age. There was a problem however. She was from a high society and they were prohibited to see each other. He was without parents, and one day he decided to leave the home and travel the world.
Some years later he returned and opened a theater where he showed all of his illusions. He bacome so famous that even a prince found out about his skills.
The prince did not like any mysteries and wanted to get to the bottom of all of his tricks. He was a very smart man and knew how stuff works.
That was when Illusionist found out that his childhood love was engaged with prince. At first she did not recognize him, but he however did. And he wanted her back.
He remembered how they were dreaming in the childhood about disappearance. How great it would be. And they wanted to do it now.
The chief inspector and prince's advizor was quite good in solving the mysteries.
Here comes the best trick that Illusionist has ever made. Because he knew the prince's secret about overthrowing of the emperor, he used it against him and made him believe he killed his fiancée. And because he really believed it he was pushed in the corner where he did not know what else to do but to kill himself.
And the love from past was together again. Chief inspector realized about this at the very end and he also got his favorite secret of growing tree.

It is a good movie, I really enjoyed watching it.

Well you can find out what the life of none-field agent by CIA looks like. It shows the life of a young CIA agent that began his work there just between the world wars. There was much things that CIA did but nobody else never new about them. He however was a specialist in disinformation. He made the enemy believe what they wanted them.

He always knew his father has some special job and keeps many secrets. And he wanted to experience the same.

He was blackmailed, that he must decide weather he will serve his country or his family. He chouses both. however his son's girlfriend dies in the process and that is not a good thing.

I enjoyed this movie very much.

Night At The Museum

Ben Stiller. Sounds familiar?. Well yes another comedy from him. And I must say it's quite nice one.
It's about what would it be like if at night all the things in National History Museum would come to life. Well there would be much chaos. And much fighting too. They would need someone to make order and make everything clean and tidy until the morning.
And no one wants job like this. Well especially after he finds that out. And this is where Ben comes in. He loses a job, and his ex-wive wants full coustity of their son. And she will get it if he does not make his life in order.
And that is why he needs a job. And this is the only job he can get. After first night in museum, when he finds out all the strange things he wants to quite, but he soon changes his mind.
Like that wouldn't be enough, the later night watch men want to rob the museum so they could live the happy later years. But they do not succeed, because he (Ben) gets some help in catching them. He also shows the secret to his son, who of course does not belive at beginning , nut becomes a believer just few moments later.
A fun and joyful movie.

A movie that mades you thing about thing you never thought about.

Apocalypto

A new blood movie from Mel Gibson, said most of my friends. I believed them and made it rest for a while. But I have watched it now, and I must say it was a good move. Yes it is full of blood and contains many violent scenes, but it just shows what was life like in the old days of Mayan civilization.
The movie shows how there were small tribes that knew nothing of great civilization that was living near by. There were hunters and lived with the forest. They were simple men.
And that is where the plot begins. The Mayan civilization was breaking apart. There was many sickness and illness. Not only by men but also on animals and crops. They didn't know what to do but to worship their goods and sacrifice as many people as they could hunt from forest tribes. And the story is about a man, Jaguars paw, who's village was slaughtered by Mayan and many men were brought to be sacrificed to the god of sun. But when Jaguars paw was on the edge of life. There was an eclipse of sun. And the shaman said that there was enough killing.
The rest of the men should be made free, but hunters wanted to have some fun with them and played an "escape game". In this "game" the commanders sun was killed by Jaguars paw and they pursued him through the forest, over the waterfall until he remembered what his father told hi him. "Do not be afraid" And that is when he became the predator and all the others were his pray. He killed them one by one, because he knew his forest and he knew what to do and how to hunt. And that is why he lived.
In the end there are white men coming and the story of Jaguar's paw fades away.

I must say that it was a good move for me.

A Beautiful Mind

What can I say about this one. I love it. Really great movie about a Nobel price winner John Nesh. A man with a beautiful mind.
The movie is about his life and about his sickness of schizophrenia. In those days, when there was a cold war, he could not get of filling that he is being watched by some government people. But not only this he met some people, that were not really there, that gave him some secret work to do.
He was making his mind busy with searching hidden patterns everywhere. Even in newspaper. However he made some real breakthrough and changed the foundations of economics. And because of that he won a Nobel price (when he was old enough of course).
The movie also shows his everyday problems and how he mat and lived with his wife. How she encouraged him and helped him through the bad times. After few years he finally learned how to distinct between what is real and what not, well at least to some level. And that was hardest problem he ever solved.
I have watched for few times now and every time it makes me feel great. Really great movie.

Skiing in Arabba

As I have promised I will write about our relaxing there.

On the 6th of January, early in the morning we started from our home in Velenje. There were six of us: my parents, my sister & her boyfriend and my girl & me. It took us about an hour to pack two cars and begin the travel of about 500 kilometers. After long driving we came there. Lots and lots of nice views, but too little snow.
We have accommodated into out apartment that had bedroom, another room wit one doubble bad and one bunk, two separate bathrooms, living room and kitchen. It was really nice. Well it should be. Later when we were living we found out that apartment like this costs about 500.000 Euros!!!
During the first day we went to "center" of Arabba. Really beautiful town. We've bought our Skipasses and unpack all the stuff we brought with us. The next day we began with skiing. My girlfriend was on the skies for the first time after few years and so I helped her. She was starting really great. We'll she is really afraid of stiffness of terraing and freezes. By the end of the day she got it quite well.
In next few days the weather was chaotic. There was sun, clouds, mist, snow and rain. In these days we went to Mt. Marmolada (on skies of course), and made a Green Sella Ronda. That is the name for about 20 kilometer circle of slopes and lifts around mountain group Sella. It was just great.
There was some leak of snow on our favorite slopes. We call them ski beach of Val Di Fassa. Because of sun there was too little snow. On all slopes there was artificial snow. The best slopes of Val Gardena were very good. The stiffens of those slope is so great.
In the afternoons we cooked a dinner and after eating it we watched some movies and soon after we all went to sleep. It was jut a good relaxation. One evening we played ludo, the other day we went to town on a drink (some local one).
It was pure pleasure.
In the middle of the week we realized that we only took 6-days tickets, so we had a free day on Saturday. And we made it worth it. We made a Orange Sella Ronda with cars. The weather was great and it was so worth it. After that turned to home. This time not on the south side, but on the north, closer to Austrian border. We have done few "passos" (mountain pass) more but it was quite nice. We've made it back home in the early evening hours.

Oh, and there are some photos on the right.

It's been a while

Oh, yes. That is true for sure. I am really running out of time. Almost literally. Have so much work to do but I found this short moment to fill out some gaps that were here for quite a time.
A week and a half ago we've returned from skiing in Italy. It was great, but more in my next post.
I did some papers for my study and I will publish them as soon as they are confirmed by my mentors. I still have to write one report and make one whole paper.
