Banksy Does New York

Are you a fan of Banksy? If so, see amazing documentary Banksy Does New York, directed by Chris Moukarbel, which talks about Banksy's experimental one month residency in New York City, where he sets to surprise public every day with new work around the city unannounced. This fragment talks about one day of the month when he sets up a stall near the Central Park and sells his original work for $60 a piece. In just this one fragment Banksy makes a good point of how art is nothing without attaching a famous name to it. Genius point. Watch what happens...you'll be blown away.

A Green Story: A Story of A US Immigrant To Inspire, Encourage & Make You Care

Courtesy of Paramyth Films by Nika Agiashvili. The last time I’ve seen a movie that somewhat reminded me of “Once upon a time in America” , a 1984 Italian epic crime drama film co-written and directed by Sergio Leone and starring Robert De Niro and James Woods was last week, when I watched A Green Story , minus the mafia and crime. But what a delight and how refreshing it is to see a film that not only engages, but that also inspires!

Like Crazy...

There's something about an art-house movie - it's honest, it's real, it's applicable to real life, it's natural, it just touches heart, soul and mind. This is the kind of a movie I'd prefer over any blockbuster with special effects, colorful scenery, beautiful actors... But I've already said that many times before, that's why more often I do reviews of independent, foreign and/or art-house films. Yes, I'm being a bit subjective to it. And, of course, there are exceptions to the rules - sometimes those films end up to be too 'artsy', too far from the action plan on how to apply an art form of a film to the reality. Sometimes they are just too 'weird' to be taken both as a life lesson and as a pure entertainment. In this case, although, the film Like Crazy did serve the purpose of bringing real life scenario - or what might happen to everyone in this life - to a film.
