Adrift in Manhattan

An alternative movie after a while. It's about a young couple, even younger photographer and an old painter.
A young couple gets separated because of tragic loss of their son. The husband blamed the wife, because she was at home when their son fell of the window and died. They just couldn't get over his death and were living separated life for each other. He was a school teacher, she was oculist.
One day a young photographer started to follow her because he liked her really much, and one day he sent her the photos he made of her.
She freaked out and went to the photo shop where the photos were made. She just wanted to know who took the photos of her.
Meanwhile she had an old patient that was getting blind. But that was not an option for him. He was alone, never in relationship and a painter. He couldn't imagine the life without his sight.
He met a nice lady of his age at the work where he worked for many years. He didn't need much for living and he was grateful for what he had. But he realized that he can not live the same life without his sight any more.
That is when he fell in love with that old lady that he met at work. And they did well together.
The doctor (oculist) found the young photographer and showed him the pleasures of sex life.
He had problematic mother at home that was abusing him and wanted him to be her man.
The end of movie is very open and does not say how will it all continue.

Happy 2008

Every year the same wishes. Why? Let's wish something different, but still good, this year. What is different find out for yourselves. I can only wish you ...

The Nanny Diaries

How do the nannies of high society in US live?
This is what is this movie all about. Who really raises the children, who makes them what they really are and who takes care for them when the parents have "no time".
The movie shows the problems in typical high society family where the wife needs all the time to take care of here, so that she looks perfect for her husband.
She doesn't spare a minute too much for taking care of her son. And that is why she desperately need nanny.
The husband is never home and his son only knows that he exists, but doesn't really know who he is.
All the problems of the kid are passed on poor nanny that gets hardly any payment at all.
It is a comedy but it also has a teaching touch.

The Golden Compass

I've been waiting for this one for quite a time. And because the book was great and the actors were right I knew that this movie can't be bad.
I was right. I liked every minute of it and I can't wait for the next part to come out.
You can find more about the story here.

It's about the man who is 40 and still alone. His ex girlfriend invited him to her wedding. And then it begun. He realized that he is alone for too long and that he needs a girl.

On the honeymoon she gets burn really bad by the sun. And he is free to do what he likes. He meets a nice single woman that would be perfect for him and begins to plan the divorce.
The stuff gets really mixed up.
It is a funny story that you really should watch for yourself.

Menina Planina

Few weeks back we went on a family trip to the Menina Planina. This is a mountain nearby. And in mid December it was covered with snow.
It was a very nice walk in the story-like outdoor. The weather was clear and cold. The cottage was opened so we got a hot cup of tea and wend down back again.
It was the first trip of my girls and mine families.
You can find three photos here.

Rush Hour 3

Are you ready for a good comedy? This sure is one, and a good one I must say.
I liked the first two parts as well, and this one is just continuing the good comedy and action. This time it is about a big conspiracy of French ambassador that wants to get the list of Chinese mafia leaders that are tattooed on some girls head.
But this is not enough the main star (Jackie Chan) also meets his long forgotten brother that has already betrayed him in the past.
The action is good, there is more then enough humor and the play is good as well.

The Kingdom

Well. I did not like this movie. In fact I did not watch the whole movie. It is telling a story of Kingdom in the middle east. Or how did the Americans come to the land of middle east and created a whole country right in the middle of another country. How did they want to live in richness and peace, but right across the hedge of their kingdom, there were poor people, with the culture very different to theirs and who did not like to have Americans as neighbors.
That is why they started to attacked them, and that is what the movie is all about.
Disgusting.

If you liked the story so far, watch the movie for the rest of it.

Battlestar Galactica - Razor

Are you fan of BSG (Battlestar Galactica)?
If the answer is "YES" then you really should watch this one. It's a great story that was not told before. About some very crucial people that held the destiny in their hands. And if they were not there the end would be even closer.

If the answer is "NO" then just ignore this post, because you are not the right kind of man for this.

Suneshine

At some time in the future the human race is endangered by the closing end of our nearest star - the Sun. But the humanity has a plan for preserving themselves for many more years.
They built the ship that will travel to the sun and drop a bomb to its center that will make sun live longer.
However the first attempt was not successful. Nobody knew what happened to the ship and its crew on their path to the sun.
The human civilization constructs another ship just like the first one and sends it on the same path, with the same mission.
On their path to the Sun they encounter the old ship and they want to find out what happened to the crew. During their voyage they some of the crew members are experiencing the a strange feeling, like the sun is watching them. And like something big is happening.
It's a nice, deep sci-fi movie.

Flight with balloon

Yes this was quite a while ago, but I still did not forget about it. My mom and dad received a flight with balloon for their 50th birth day. They wanted to take us with them and so, after many months of unsuccessful attempts we finally got our flight. It was a great experience and pleasure to flight with a balloon.
I have never imagined that there are balloons as big as the one we were on. It was for 24 passengers. A huge balloon.
We also took some photos of a flight and you can find them here.
