DEMONS, BEER OR PRETTY LADIES? Why not combine them all! (review)

I have always wanted to be a superhero, fighting evil in the name of good. But after watching 'Supernatural' I changed my mind! The show is about two brothers – Sam and Dean – that are fighting demons and other paranormal creatures. In my opinion, they are real superheroes. They look like average people, they dress normally, they eat and drink in fast food restaurant, they even drink beer!

'Supernatural' basically is for people that like action films, with many humorous dialogues and gripping scenes, straight from horror movies! Every episode starts with 'before' in order to show what had happenned in last few chapters, so you can keep up to the story even if you missed some previous volumes. Later on, the story continues. 

The most magnificent thing about this show is that evey demon has name taken from the Bible or 'Key of Solomon'. Even most rituals that they perform are based on those books! Sam and Dean are well prepared to fight the demons, because their dad – John – trained them since they were young. First seasons are all about catching the demon that murdered John's wife. But with every episode they are getting more and more information, and at some point they realise that this demon is just a puppet for more powerful demon! Also, soundtrack is just stunning! You can hear such bands as Led Zeppelin, Def Leppard or The Who!

I would highly recommend this show to people of all ages, because it has everything that common audience need – blood, guns, father-son love, humour, good music and gorgeous looking women. It is considered as best TV show about supernatural events! There are 7 seasons completed, and the 8^th one is already being cased on television. I can only warn you – „Supernatural” is very addictive!

JUST ANOTHER STORY ABOUT ZOMBIE? (review)

You definitely cannot say this about "The Walking Dead", because it is much more then just undead people in it. This American television series is based on comic book written by Robert Kirkman, which was the first reason I started watching it. However comparing the film version to comic is meaningless as TV story differs in many ways from the original one.

The story follows police officer, Rick Grimmes, who awakens from a coma in world filled with living corpses whose only target is to devour living beings. Knowing nothing about the reality he is in and nothing about his family, he decides to go to search them and he quickly finds out how much the world has changed.

'The Walking Dead' is not exactly a horror, there are some parts that can scare but most of the time it just gives you feeling of insecurity. The thing I really like about this series is that you cannot predict how long someone will live, no matter if it is a main hero or a not important character. I also really enjoy seeing the changes in behaviour of people. As the story goes on, they are no longer the same folks they were
at the start, they learn that they should be scared of alive not the dead ones.

I recommend it for everybody who likes watching movies in apocalypse scenario and also for these of you that want to experience something unique. Even if the zombie theme is nothing new, the way it is shown here is somehow innovative. I am sure you will like it, at least the first season.

"OUR FOLKS" THE BEST POLISH COMEDY EVER! (film review)

mc
“Our Folks” (Sami swoi) directed by Sylwester Chęciński in 1967 is one of the most popular and classical Polish comedies. Although it was made more than 40 years ago, the film is still funny and entertains the next generations of Poles. The main roles are played by Wacław Kowalski (Pawlak) and Władysław Hańcza (Kargul).

The film tells the story of two conflicted families, which after 2^nd World War were forced to relocate from eastern to western Poland. The beginnings of the dispute date back pre-war times. Cause of quarrel was bounds and Kargul’s cow which got into Pawlak’s field. Neighbours remain in open conflict and argue about ridiculous things, so viewers have got a lot of opportunities for laugh. Families can’t live without a common dispute, but they unite in time of danger. The comedy is accompanied by a great atmosphere and unique climate which we won’t find in films nowadays. Acting is awesome and natural. The best are humorous situations and funny dialogues, which are outright iconic. Music in “Our folks” is so funny and positively disposes the viewer. It suits fantastically to this film.

To conclude, I think it is the best Polish classical comedy and I strongly recommend seeing it.
In my opinion, every Pole should watch “Our Folks”, because this is more than just a good comedy, this is also one of the greatest creations in the history of our national cinema.
