Duck, a biographical film about the famous black athlete Jesse Owens, will be released next year, when it will also be 80 years since the Summer Olympics in Berlin (1936). These were the last Olympic Games before the lull in the war and the games marked by this famous American athlete who competed in the sprint and long jump. With his performances, he disproved the theory of the superiority of the Aryan race, which had been bubbling under the cover of Nazi Germany for several years at that time. The film was also supported by his family and the Jesse Owens Foundation, which helps young athletes and is run by his three daughters.

Hail Coen Brothers! After the brilliant Llewyn Davis film from 2013, which attracted mainly a niche audience, the famous director couple, which can only be matched in the film world by the Wachowski family bond (once brother, now brother-sister), returns with the film treat Hail, Caesar, in which there are more Hollywood stars than there are stars in the sky. Contrary to expectations, the story is not set in the century BC, but in the golden 50s of Hollywood, and revolves around a real-life "fixer", a private detective who cleans up behind film studios and solves a series of problems in order to protect the reputation of actors and prevented scandals. This time his mission is George Clooney.
The Serbian film Pored mene (Srednješolci) critically examines today's youth, while at the same time looking for a way to a bright future for a generation that was born with smartphones. Swimming against the current is the young high school teacher Olja, who already has the upper hand of her students, who spend more time on their phones. A recording of her fight breaks the bottom of the barrel, so the history teacher takes extreme measures. He collects everyone's electronic toys, locks them in the school and leaves with an ultimatum. Yes, this is what survival in the "wilderness" looks like in the 21st century. No smartphone, no internet. Trapped with people.
Even films with the highest budgets are not immune to mistakes. These can be scriptural, scenic or audio in nature, but we also find factual errors where they state incorrect facts in the film. Once the film's budget is inflated and the film bombards us with endless action scenes and special effects, these slip-ups are especially hard to spot. But nothing escapes the eye of film gourmands who watch movies several times, even hidden mistakes that have been exposed for years on the website moviemistakes.com. Wondering what mistakes crept into the 10 biggest blockbusters like The Avengers, Batman, Jurassic Park and Transformers?
As the year is slowly coming to an end, we at the editorial office decided to choose the 5 best documentaries of 2015. We tried to include documentaries from various fields in the selection, which are a real inspiration and definitely worth watching...
The crime drama Triple 9 is one of those movies where you have to leave the kids with a babysitter. Just to watch the trailer (NSFW), we suggest that they are somewhere far away, because they are full of explicit scenes of violence. It also stars the big names of the seventh art, as it stars Casey Affleck, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Anthony Mackie, Aaron Paul, Woody Harrelson, Kate Winslet, Teresa Palmer and Gal Gadot, among others.
The American film Bone Tomahawk mixes genres that don't often come together. It is a western and a horror film. In it, Kurt Russell demonstrates his entire spectrum of acting knowledge, which we will be able to admire at the end of the year in another western, namely Quentin Tarantino's The Hateful 8. Even earlier, we will see what he prepared for us at the dictation of S. Craig Zahler, who is also responsible for the film's script.
Whether we catch them on Broadway, in our theater, or on television, musicals are pure entertainment as well as escapism. While it may be funny in its own right how people can suddenly jump into the streets of New York, into jail cells, or into cornfields with a song, that's what makes a musical so wonderful—those few moments of suspended reality. So let's warm up our voices, put on our dancing shoes and enjoy our selection of the funniest must-see musicals!
But Bigger Splash has nothing to do with painter David Hockney's mammoth painting, except for sunlit swimming pools, cloudless skies and splashes of water as actors jump into it. Among them is Dakota Johnson, who, like in Fifty Shades of Grey, also puts her charms on display in this film. Therefore, this Italian-French mystery black comedy leans somewhat more, but still loosely, on the film La Piscine, also an Italian-French production from 1969.

"Winning is the most important thing for me," says one of soccer's biggest stars, Cristiano Ronaldo, at the beginning of the trailer for his documentary "Ronaldo." The documentary is an intimate insight into the life of this soccer Mozart, in which we follow his path to fame and which will change the opinion of many about this Portuguese, whom many accuse of self-indulgence. In fact, Ronaldo not only has a big ego, but also a big heart.
