I can speak about NATURE

This week we are talking about amazing and extraordinary Mother nature. Have you already watched "Oceans" by Jacques Perrin???

Documentaries are becoming more and more popular nowadays. That's, probably, the first time in the history of the cinema that they actually pay off and are really popular with spectators.
The release of a new documentary "Oceans" filmed by Jacques Perrin, the director of "Misrocosmos", "Genesis" and "Winged migration" is a box office hit (popular and financially successful).
Watching these documentaries you realize how amazing and extraordinary our Mother nature is. All the contemporary science fiction movies can not surpass nature. Watch it! Highly recommended!




You may think that one really has to travel a lot, probably go abroad, to find something extraordinary. That's bullshi* (excuse my English :). Watch this picturesque video from our Carpathians. Just takes your breath away!
