The Slovenian film Dolina miru by France Štiglic celebrates its 60th anniversary this year. On the occasion of this venerable jubilee, the famous European film festival in Cannes will also pay tribute to him, which, as part of this year's program of the presentation of film classics, has placed him alongside world-renowned classics. The war film about two war orphans who lost their parents during the bombing returns to the "scene of the crime", where it competed for the Palme d'Or in 1957. Considered to be the most important and famous film festival in the world, the Cannes International Film Festival starts on the 11th and runs until the 22nd of May 2016.

Captain America reflects the values of Americans. Even though it's a Marvel comic book hero, it's like Coca-Cola. An American export item that showcases to the world the American mentality and the omnipotence of a nation that swears by heroes. Captain America is a patriot, and although it seems inappropriate for a modern film - after all, it already has a name in such a way that it seems completely useless outside of America - it is extremely popular. But what if Captain America was Captain Europe and had the character traits of individual European nations? Would I still be as successful?
Although you'd expect Blake Lively in a swimsuit to turn up the pressure on the mostly male audience, viewers of The Shallows will have other reasons to do so. In it, we will be trembling for the life of the grumpy surfer Nancy, in whose role this American actress got into, because she is attacked by a great white shark while surfing. Her summer movie hit, which is being compared to the cult film Žrel, will be the reason that we will be afraid to swim in the sea again after a long time!
The film Bad Moms is a comedy from the creators of the film Crooked Night. It is a humorous critique of society's unrealistic demands and ideas about the perfect mother.

It's no secret that many actors turn to drugs, alcohol and pills to cope with fame. Some call it art (yes, we're looking at you Madonna), while others make it less obvious. But just as every mother knows exactly when her son or daughter comes home slightly drunk, no matter how they hide it, we too cannot overlook when the players played under the influence of drugs. Here are 10 of the most obvious examples.
