There's a good reason why in the midst of our chaotic and frantic lives where we don't even have a minute to spare, we take the time to watch a movie. They offer us a parallel reality in which we lose ourselves for a moment. They give us inspiration, give us something to yearn for, something to strive for, and when we're in a bad mood, they're simply a medium that puts us in a good mood. For those days when you feel like everything is going wrong, let these 25 heartfelt movie quotes remind you that life really is quite simple.

Sometimes I walk around the keyboard, sometimes in nature. One time I twist the heels, the other time the kitchen. I press the trigger once, the pedals a second time. And one time I play the role of a moviegoer, another time a nanny. Life offers such a wide range of things that it would be pointless to dip your brush in just a color or two, right?
Practically every action camera on the market is already capable of capturing quality footage. What is important is what happens to them after that. The TomTom Bandit action camera aims to make it easy to create videos of your adventures (also with a shake function that allows for easy editing). Using GPS and other sensors, it tracks your speed, altitude and acceleration to automatically select the most exciting moments.
How-Old.net is a new website from Microsoft that tries to guess your age based on a photo. The matter could not be simpler. You select the photo you want and the website will use facial recognition algorithms to determine your age and gender. Yes, we know you know how old you are, but who doesn't want to check out how old Microsoft thinks we are. You'll be checking others anyway. Definitely a fun way to kill time.
They say the zombie apocalypse is just around the corner, but if you look around a bit, it's been here for a while. Looking at the crowded streets of major cities, it sometimes seems that the walking dead are walking on the sidewalks instead of people. Such people have already become known as zombie pedestrians, as they walk without a sense of direction, and their attention is focused on the smartphone screen instead of what is happening around them. This is just one of the proofs that we have become addicted to smartphones.
After months of waiting, Apple's Apple Watch has finally reached its first customers. But it stuck right away. This was not the fault of some new mechanical fault (fortunately, the vibrating one was discovered and fixed before the first shipment), but of users who have a tattoo on their hands. Namely, this "censors" certain functions of the smart watch and constantly requires the entry of a PIN code, as it regularly loses contact with the iPhone.
Apple's new MacBook may be the template for all laptops of the future, but it's hardly the best. He happened upon a Lenovo LaVie Z laptop. The latter, which runs the Windows 8.1 operating system, may not be as thin as the new Apple MacBook, but it is therefore lighter and has all the connections you need. No need for intermediate plugs and similar rods. The screen is also larger and with a higher resolution, and the processor is more powerful. Of course, all this comes with a price, so you will pay around 180 euros more for it than for a MacBook.
The idea that a bin can make your life easier sounds silly, but only until you see Bruno in action. It is the world's first smart trash can that is also a vacuum cleaner. It is not just a storage room for collecting waste, but in connection with a smartphone it makes sure that you do not run out of garbage bags, warns you when the bin is full and makes sure that you never miss the collection of waste. In addition, it has a vacuum slot at the bottom, which vacuums everything you have swept into the bag. Have you heard of that dump? Get it on Kickstarter.
Although we have already stepped deep into 2015, some accounts for 2014 are still coming. The latter was "broadcast" by Billboard, the famous music chart that has become a measure of musical success in the modern era. This is still difficult to define, but also to measure, since the influx of musicians also comes from many other, non-musical sources. The list of the biggest music earners in 2014 according to Billboard is made only on the basis of income from songs, albums and performances.
Anyone who has ever been in a relationship knows that not everything is always smooth sailing. Far from it. There are times when you and your partner run into obstacles, when things go sour, and not every relationship has a happy ending. In A Relationship is a short film by Sam Boyd, starring Dakota Johnson from Fifty Shades of Grey, that illustrates in a beautiful and heartbreaking way what it really means to be in a relationship.
Europe Week is traditionally colored with free events, and it culminates on May 9, when we celebrate Europe Day. In 2015, it will be under the sign of food, which is increasingly becoming a link between the local and the global. If anyone, then the taste buds will come into their own, and of course there will be no shortage of workshops, lectures and exhibitions in Ljubljana and 11 other places in Slovenia, so that even those hungry for knowledge and not just food will be satisfied.
34-year-old Dan Bilzerian is one of the most controversial people in the world. The professional poker player and king of Instagram is a moral depravity for some, an idol for others, but no one can dispute his popularity. A window into his hedonistic life is offered by his Instagram profile, where he already has over eight million followers. Although most will deny it, being addicted to guns, girls and cars is living the dream of most men.
The whole world knows the story of Jesus' resurrection, because together with the crucifixion, it is considered one of the foundations of the Christian faith. But hardly anyone knows this story, which is otherwise described in detail in the Bible of the New Testament through the eyes of an unbeliever. And it is through the prism of a man - a Roman commander - that the film Risen tackles one of the greatest events in the history of mankind. He had one task. Making sure Jesus stays dead because "if his body is gone, we have a potential Messiah."
