|cinematheque| :: THE LUNCHBOX (DABBA) ::

I saw this movie yesterday and really enjoyed it. It`s beautiful.

It will leave you with a craving, to seek your own little happiness...

IMDB (8,1/10) "The film set in Mumbai, revolves around a mistaken delivery by the Dabbawalas (lunchbox servis) of Mumbai, which leads to a relationship between Saajan, a lonely widower close to retirement, and Ila, an unhappy housewife, as they start exchanging notes through the daily lunchbox.

"Sometimes the wrong train, can bring us to the right place."

|cinematheque| :: 180° SOUTH ::

It`s been a while since I made a post for the cinemateque section, so let`s continue the tradition, since I love movies and I like to share good things. ;)
I really enjoyed watching this documentary + I fell in love with Patagonia. Definitely a spot in the world I,`d love to visit.

:: WHAT IMPRESSED ME, WHICH SONGS GIVE ME POWER AND A QUOTE, THAT`S NOT REALLY A QUOTE ::

1. Video that impressed me this week - The invisible bicycle helmet:

When I saw this, I said "whaaaat", but damn, it`s a nice idea! 

Check out more on their website here. You will want to have one, trust me. 

2. A list of songs that make me happy while I run, so I guess I can call them "my running songs". 

1.   The xx - You got the love (florence & the maschine cover)

2.   Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - Can`t hold us feat. Ray Dalton 

3.   Feed me & Crystal Fighters - Love is all I got

4.   Netsky - Everyday

5.   Rudimental - Waiting all night feat. Ella Eyre 

6.   Flight Facilities - Crave you

7.   Beth Ditto - I wrote the book 

8.   Arctic Monkeys - R U Mine?

9.   Cage the Elephant - Come a little closer

10. Max Manie - Sunday (klangtherapeuten remix)

Of course I have tons of songs on my shuffle, but this ones are usually on repeat a couple of times. It`s funny how music gives me strength in the moments when I feel very weak, for ex. when I run long distances, music is much appreciated. Do you have your own power songs? (share please) :) 

3. A quote, that`s not really a quote 

Whatever it`s going on in your life, just don`t forget to breathe...

Oh, it`s a shitty weather for a Saturday, but let`s make something good out of it. I`ve got a lot of projects
going on right now, so I am a bit busy and super excited. December is coming, and I`m happy about it. 

That`s it. Tonight we have a small gathering, just some friends, some snacks, some drinks, happy thoughts, laughter, long talks.... you know, whatever goes with it. 

Enjoy your Saturday! 

Love, M.

:: WHAT`S YOURS? ::

  I just want to wish you a wonderful (what`s left of) weekend! 

 xo, M.

+ I decided to share this video with you, because I watched it a couple of times already and it still makes me cry a bit ..  it`s beautiful.

What`s yours? I kind of get lost in my thoughts everytime I see this video... 

|film| :: RUSHMORE (1998) ::

If you don`t know what to watch tonight (or any other night), here`s a suggestion for you...

IMDB (7,7/10)

"I guess you've just gotta find something you love to do and then... do it for the rest of your life..."

:: FILM :: ON THE ROAD ::

"The only people for me are the mad ones...the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn burn burn, like fabolous yellow roman candles, exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes, awww!" (Jack Kerousac)

I just saw this movie in the cinema, but I never read the book (that`s in my future plan). I went alone and there was only 5 people watching it, cuz it was playing in the alternative cinema in my hometown, that`s obviously not so popular, but I kind of love it. It`s there - the charm, the smell, the old chairs,..

The great thing is, that I was sitting somewhere in the middle and no one was in front of me, so I had the feeling, that the cinema is all mine + you can have all the food & drinks you want (I had none though, but I know for the next time). 

Anyhow, I really enjoyed the film. I had a smile on my face through most of the movie. It reminded me on a lot of things & also, on some of the people I know.... 

IMDB (6,1/10)

"The best teacher is experience."

:: FILM :: CATFISH ::

Yesterday I saw this documentary by the recommendation of my friend Tiago and It`s pretty good. I`ll say like he said to me...don`t read what`s about before you watch it, only after. Although I think it`s ok to watch the trailer, cuz it`s just enough informations to get the impression about the film. Let me know if you decide to watch it, would be fun to comment it with someone.

IMDB (7/10)
"Young filmmakers document their colleague's budding online friendship with a young woman and her family which leads to an unexpected series of discoveries."

xo, M.

:: FILM :: 3 IDIOTS ::

If you haven`t seen this movie yet, than it`s time for you to watch it! ;) I couldn`t find the trailer with an English subtitles, so I decided for this one where you can watch the Full Movie.

Prepare for a good measure of laugh, tears (that`s mostly for girls) and a whole bunch of other feelings. I`d say this is an educational movie, where you can go through your moral standards in case you lost them somewhere on the way.

So, just watch it. Maybe it`s just me, but I really love this movie! ;)

p.s. Thank you Sanda for recommending it! ;) 

Hugs to all of you, 

M.

IMDB (8.3/10)

:: FILM :: DJANGO UNCHAINED ::

Yes, yet again it`s time to update my "cinematheque". This time with a movie from Quentin Tarantino (god, I love his movies)! I`m sure you all know who he is or what he`s done, if you don`t, well shame on you.

Anyhow, I went to the cinema last week to watch "Django Unchained" and I really enjoyed the movie, but there was something missing and I still didn`t figure it out what would that be...

IMDB - Western, Drama, Adventure (8.6/10)

+ the soundtrack is really good! ;) 

Enjoy!

:: FILM :: | THE VOW |

For a very long time I haven`t posted any movie suggestion, but I`ll do it now. Today I was left alone at home so I had to figure out what to do. So, I cooked (chilli con carne), opened a wine bottle and picked a movie to watch. As obvious I decided to go with "The Vow" & it made me cry (as always), especially cuz it was inspired by a real story.

It`s a drama and maybe it`s more for girls than boys, but I think it can be pretty deep if you imagine someone really went through something like this. 

IMDB (6,7/10)

:: FILM :: PINEAPPLE EXPRESS ::

To make a little pause between all the posts with photos, I decided it`s time for updating the cinemateque!

Even though this movie is from 2008, I watched it just a few days ago. We wanted to see something funny with a bit of an action and this came up...I cried laughed my eyes out. :)

You might like it or you might not..anyway I would recommend it.

IMDB (7/10)

:: FILM :: THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO ::

If you need some drama + action, than this movie is a good choice.

IMDB (8/10)

:: FILM :: THE HELP ::

I watched this yesterday before going to sleep and I did not wake up pretty, cuz I cried my eyes out. :)

I should write this yesterday when I was still full of emotions and thoughts, but I can say,that everybody should watch a movie or two like this, cuz it`s good for a human moral, which people seems to forget so easily. Anyway, another good movie that is worth to be seen - IMDB (8,1/10).

Do you have any suggestions what should be my next one? 

xoxo, Maja  ♥  

:: THE INTOUCHABLES ::

I just finished watching this movie and it is freaking amazing! Maybe I can even say that it`s one of the best movies I`ve seen lately.... haha I love the characters !!
Seriously, you have to see it, so go and download it, like now! :)
I had a smile on my face already after four minutes...that smile, that really comes from inside, the one that makes you feel good about things, not the goofy one. Of course there was some crying involved as well, but it`s such a beautiful movie ! Ahhh and now I`m going for a run because it`s a perfect moment - I`m full of emotions and the air is fresh (cuz it just rained half an hour ago) so I know it will be good.
And you? Well, make some popcorn and download a movie, even though it`s Thursday! :)

The movie got 8.5/10 on IMDB, I decided to go with a 10. Oh yes, I did! :)

:: BRUSSELS EXPRESS ::

Something to think about.

:: Film :: STREETDANCE 2 ::

It`s been a while since my last cinematheque post, but that doesn`t mean I stopped watching movies. :)

Today I`m sharing a little passion of mine --> dancing.  Oh yes, I`ve seen all the movies that are just a little bit connected with dancing and I loved them all  & Streetdance 2 was no exception.

I watched it yesterday in cinema with two of my good friends (we used to dance together, so it was only natural to go watch it with them) and we had fun ! :)

There was nothing new in it, we all seen this stuff before in previous dance movies, but I was still shaking with my head, my feet and half of my body while watching it. :D 

If nothing else, Sofia is stunning ! (Gosh, I`m really a big fan) + I liked Falk as well, but I`m still not over Channing who played in Step up. :) Haha, what can I do, those guys are just sexy (if I may say).... :) 

Oh btw I really hated the 3D thing.... it was bothering me all the time + it`s too dark with those glasses....

IMDB (5,7/10)

Hm, have you watched any of dance movies? I`m sure you`ve seen at least Dirty dancing? :)

I really enjoyed this film and even though its drama/war/comedy, I had quite a good laugh about it.

:: Film :: BEGINNERS

I saw this movie last week and it was good. I wasn`t really blown away by it , but I enjoyed it. I had an emotional rollercoaster all the way, from laughing to crying. :) 

The story is about a young man who is rocked by two announcements from his elderly father: that he has terminal cancer, and that he has a young male lover."

Ah lazy days. They always come after easter holidays, cuz I always manage to eat too much of everything! :)
