![]() Bogowie (2014) - Film about the first heart transplant performed in Poland (at the time called Polish People's Republic), though mostly about the doctor who performed it and his unique spitfire attitude. Very well-made movie with powerful acting and it doesn't seem to be pushing any silly "patriotic" agenda, unlike many other contemporary Polish productions. Overall, one of the best films made in Poland in recent years. Ida (2013) - A tale about a young woman who was raised in a convent and prepares to become a nun in postwar Poland, only to find out that she is in fact Jewish and her parents were murdered during the war. What surprised me the most was how well the film presents people from all walks of life as humans rather than heroes or villains. It also deals with a touchy and controversial topic that requires more discussion considering how anti-Semitic Poland is at the moment. Moreover, it's just a really nicely shot art film with good acting. Although I think the Academy Awards aren't anything special in particular, this film did win an Oscar for the best foreign production. Though I think someone who wasn't born and raised in Poland would have a difficult time understanding some of its themes. Wałęsa. Człowiek z nadziei (2013) - This one is quite politically motivated in that it obviously favours the West and doesn't really consider that the collapse of the Eastern Bloc wasn't a one-sided event with only one possible interpretation. However, I have to say this film is also well directed and was fairly pleasant to watch. It achieves what it sets out to do fairly nicely: portraying one of the leaders, who sold Poland from one empire into the hands of another, as a relatable human being. Oh yeah, and it has a brilliant soundtrack made up of some good old Polish punk and some rock. Last edited by Bamul; 03-21-2015 at 06:55 AM. |

The Divide: A pre/post-apocalyptic movie that take place in the U.S.. A group of people are surviving in a apartment complex's basement and stick it out until the radiation is gone or until they are found and rescued. People begin acting crazy. I actually didn't enjoy the movie as much as I had hoped.
1.5 out of 5 stars A knights tale: A comedy/action movie set in the medieval age. 5 out of 5 stars The Last Stand: A movie, with Arnold Schwarzenegger, as a small town sheriff. He must defend the border, on which his town sits on, as a drug cartel lord tries to pass through it -killing anyone who stands in his path. 4 out of 5 stars

![]() I might watch "A knight's tale", it sounds good, especially because you rated it 5/5 ![]() I've watched The Last Stand before, it's pretty hilarious ![]() I just watched Northmen: A Viking Saga. I really don't wanna explain the lore as it might spoil the whole story. It had very good actors IMO, but there were many moments where I'd go "What magic box did he pull that out of?", and a lot of typical unoriginal scenes and happenings, like a guy losing his grip when they're climbing, and another catches him as if he weighed 10kg even though he was a big viking. But I got really attached to the characters (especially the woman who looked just like a specific beautiful girl that I've seen at the medieval festival all three years I've been there, wearing almost the same dress as her ![]() 7/10.

![]() I watched Northmen: A Viking Saga recently and found it to be pretty bad, at times I wondered if it was actually a parody movie because of the hilariously cliche moments. Also the main character acting was pretty bad IMO, although the rest was alright. I'd probably give it a 3/10 to be honest

Delicatessen - I really, really, really liked this film. It's a black comedy set in post-apocalyptic France. The setting and the characters make this a brilliantly entertaining movie to watch with a unique atmosphere. It was directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, the guy who did La cité des enfants perdus (The City of Lost Children), Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain (Amélie) and Alien: Resurrection. I don't know if there is an English dubbed version, but as is usually the case with foreign language films, I recommend watching the version with original audio and subtitles.

![]() Watched the good ol' "Predator" from 1990 with Arnold Schwarzenegger. "Get to the choppaaah!"
I really don't think it deserves a good rating, but I still like it so much that I can't rate it ![]() |
