Paddington

Beautiful, beautiful, well written, funny (not just your average slapstick comedy), beautifully filmed and executed, quintessentially british and heartwarming, an instant classic. Don't miss it :-)

Trailer:



Clips from the movie:



Paddington is always keeping marmelade sandwich in his hat for emergencies. Here is a beautiful gag about unlikely help on his night wanderings when he had nowhere to go:

A Christmas Carol

The most beautiful and faithful adaptation of Dickens classic. (Despite the trailer making it an animated action feature.) A holiday must see



And a clip from the movie as a bonus :-)

Ever After

Have you seen it? A new and refreshing take on Cinderella story. Beautiful and clever writing and acting. They don't make films like this anymore, do they?

Frozen

Just the perfect movie for a winter and christmas time :-)  From the creators of Tangled:

Muzikál Tajemství

Skvelý muzikál Daniela Landu, prepracovaný, s mnohými námetmi na premýšľanie, s krásnymi piesňami, a s prekvapivým záverom, ktorý vysvetľuje a dáva zmysel bizarnosti a zdanlivej nejasnosti deja. Oplatí sa naň nájsť čas!

Legend of the Guardians

Beautiful and powerful hero story with stunning visuals

Lesson Number One

I keď nie je až tak veľmi známa, patrí medzi moje najobľúbenejšie. Lekcia bojového umenia a jing-jang zo skvelého Disney filmu Mulan 2:
"One alone is not enough, you need both together..."

War Horse

"Silly old bear..."

Som veľmi podozrievavá, keď sa niekto v súčasnosti pokúsi spracovať starú milovanú klasiku ako Macko Pú na veľké plátno. Všetko je dnes top moderné, od animácie, cez maximálnu akčnosť, až po tvorenie postáv, dialógov a humoru (veľakrát skôr "humoru"). V knihe Macko Pú je toho nesmierne veľa nahromadené, čo vyžaduje veľmi citlivý a opatrný spôsob spracovania. A chce to naozajstného génia, čo v ňom to všetko objaví a nájde spôsob, ako to bude na plátne fungovať. Dnes je možno odváže vytvoriť rozprávku staromódnym ručne kresleným štýlom, zainteresovaní však dobre vedia, aká je to nevyhnutnosť, rovnako ako v tomto prípade ingnorovať ostatné nepísané "pravidlá" dnešnej tvorby. Niežeby som súčasné rozprávky úplne zatracovala, je ich veľa, ktoré sú skvelé a majú čo povedať. Ale Macka Púa som išla pozerať so zadržaným dychom a zmiešanými očakávaniami. Je toho toľko, čo sa na ňom dá pokaziť! Ale už po pár minútach filmu som si hlboko vydýchla. A so mnou určite milióny ľudí po celom svete, čo videli tento film a nedajú na knihu Macko Pú so všetkým, čo v nej je, dopustiť. A ak aj vy máte doma macka, čo sa neprestajene dožaduje medíku, a vám nikdy to nezovšednie, ale vždy sa na tom budete smiať, určite chápete, aké paradoxne nebanálne je to večné spojenie medveďa s medom.
