''Rane'' (The Wounds in English) is a great movie by the best film director in Serbia, Srdjan Dragojevic. The plot is set in Belgrade, Serbia during the chaotic wars in the 90s and shows a path of an adolescent who grows in those times of craziness. Crime, dysfunctional moral values, hate and the need to be in charge are on the rise. It is also an excellent timetable of the events, starting from the Croatian War of Independence, Bosnian War and the Student strikes in Serbia against Milosevic's repressive regime. The talent of Srdjan Dragojevic is how he mocks the prejudices of certain people groups and certainly his courage to makes films that are so liberal in the environment that was mostly hyper-nationalistic and traditional. Highly recommend.

I am more of a movie lover then a TV show lover, however, this show has touched me in ways I couldn't imagine. Fictional, yet so realistic. The plot is based on a event we all know - The assassination of J. F. Kennedy and a man Jake (James Franco) who lives in the present and who, by a kind of void, travels to the past to save JFK hoping that that move would change the course of history for the better. He encounters a lot of people in his trip, he gets a taste of passed times and falls in love. The story is a excellent example of how the butterfly effect works, one minor event can trigger a series of events in the future and shows how fragile time is. Should definitely watch it, some scenes left me in tears, some in pure rage!

As pretty much everyone knows more or less the theme of Game of thrones I'll give a short review: So, the plot is based on the continent of Westeros which is comprised of 7 kingdoms (The North, The Riverlands, The Eyrie, The Westerlands, The Reach, The Stormlands and the Crownlands), Dorne, The Iron Islands and The land of Always Winter which is divided from the rest by an enormous ice wall. Noble families, who control each kingdom and their bannermen fight over the Iron throne and the control of Westeros. All the while a force of half-dead walkers arise after thousands of years in the Land of Always Winter. The story is mostly based around The Starks (noble family of the North), the Lannisters (noble family of the West and the rulers from the shadows) and the Targaryens (the family that united Westeros with the help of dragons) which was exiled and banished to Essos (another continent). The first 6 seasons are phenomenal! Politics, wars, intrigue, mysteries, pacts and betrayals. A lot of characters are perfectly described psychologically (especially Cersei Lannister, Tyrion and Tywin Lannister, Catelyn Stark and Olenna Tyrell). Yet, season seven was kind of rushed, while season 8 was disappointing to say the least. Anyways, you should definitely watch it! The plot lures you into their world, you become nervous, paranoid, sad and happy and you really attach to the characters.
