No, no, no I don`t like films of this kind. From the very beginning it was clear what the ending would look like, everything that happened on the screen seemed fake as I don`t know what.

Stories based upon ukrainian folklore. Some of them are quite scary while others are a bit more romantic. My judgement - pretty good for `oldschool` literature a fan of which I am not.

A fun record that was my first taste of The Pogues. Listenable although I wouldn`t listen to it on a daily basis (contrary to `Fairytale of New York`).

There are three major stories in this book. The first one is entitled "Taras Bulba" - a heroic story about some imaginary (or real? who cares?) person out of the Ukrainian history. Man, this ain`t no hero for me - a dude that beats up his wife, drinks all the time and kills everybody including his own son is a maniac by my standarts. The rest of the book is pretty okey, including the story behind the first Soviet horror film - "Vij" (name of the creature). Creepy but lots of fun as well. And the third one is about two stupid old man who lose their friendship and start an everlasting quarrel due to some complete stupidity. Overall attitude - if you forget about the "Taras" thripe it`s quite good but otherwise - yuk!

Animation actually. It might be inventive and quite professionaly arranged in the category of stylistics but overall it`s a complete bore. The fun factor was not as high as it should be.

What the hell was I hoping for listening to a new album by the Bangles? A soulless piece of junk worth not a single penny? Yup, that`s what it is. If I will ever listen again the rating might rise but still it`s not a record you might wanna own. Neither do I.

Šī bija filma, kas man atklāja Kusturicu. Iepriekš par šādu režisoru nebiju pat dzirdējis, bet pēcāk kļuvu par vidēji lielu viņa talanta cienītāju. Šajā darbā Emirs K. prezentē savu iecienītāko tematiku - rāda Dienvidslāvijas čigānus viņu priekos un bēdās, to visu ietērpjot trakā balagāna komēdijā. Šī nav intelektuālā Eiropas komēdija, kādu varētu gaidīt no... nezinu kā. Šī ir traka un jautra filma par čigāniem, kas vēlas precēties, par čigāniem, kas nevēlas precēties, par čigāniem, kas ir parādā naudu citiem čigāniem, par čigāniem, kas gandrīz nomirst un par čigāniem, kas tiek iemesti sūdu bedrē, par čigāniem ar nesmukiem zobiem, par čigāniem, kas mīlējas pļavā, par čigāniem, kas pērk preces no krievu jūrniekiem, par čigāniem, kas zaudē visu naudu azartspēlēs, un, protams, šī ir filma, kurā tu vari dzirdēt tehno remiksā ģeniālo "Pit Bull". Pārsmiešanās ir garantēta, un tas arī ir Kusturicas mērķis.

Execuse me but why do they always tell you that a donkey is someone who gets &(%*^ in the ^&*&^#% ? Lots of nasty stuff in here. There`s a novel entitled "Numbers" which is actually pretty good apart from those pervert kind of things which sometimes are a lot of fun but mostly they just don`t make it for me. Except the novel there are a few short (more or less) stories and a poem. The latter is absolutely worthless while among the stories some good parts can be found. Especially good is the one called "Akiko" which is about a pornsite that gets visited by a dude and the way he gets f**ked up in the process. "Focus group" - a strange story about death is also quite good.

Do you remember the band? The one that sung "I wanna sleep with common people like you"? I guess you do. And here it is. The best part of the album are the lyrics, while musically it`s sometimes a bit dull. Highlights include the already mentioned "Common People", "Disco 2000" and "Underwear".

Another musical has been seen through my eyes. It`s a romantic one, wouldn`t you know. Actually, every musical I`ve seen apart from "Jesus Christ Superstar" has been a love story. And this one is more a musical than most musicals - it`s about making a musical. Some parts of it are pretty cool - for example, when the main character jumps around in puddles or jumps on a lantern, but something like one hundred minutes of it is certainly too much.
