A review on the award winning masterpiece of Stanley Kubrick - "A Clockwork Orange" - Watch now



"A Clockwork Orange" is one of the numerous masterpieces of the award winning director and writer Stanley Kubrick. It is based on the  Anthony Burges' novel with the same name and it is a story about the transformation of Alex - a violent kid who is hurting and terrorizing people every way possible just for the fun of it but he also is a kid enjoying the music of Beethoven. But all that changes after he goes to prison for the murder of a woman. In prison Alex is showing his obedience, fake smile and "regret" for what he has done, but he is wishing to get out of that place as soon as possible. That is why he subscribes for a new method of medical treatment - an experimental aversion therapy - that can transform even the most violent human being into a peaceful person. However, karma is a strange thing. After he comes out of prison Alex would encounter all his deeds he has done in the past. 
This film is one of the brilliant projects Kubrik has made and maybe one of the most complicated productions in cinema ever made. The movie is about the violence, karma, redemption and parenting. After you see the movie you would like, hate, pity and even admire Alex, but one is for sure - you should defiantly watch that movie.

Watch the Pixar's short film - Partly Cloudy (2009)

Pixar is a famous movie animation studio that is earning numerous award for its films like Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Cars, Ratatouille, WALL-E, Monsters Inc. and many many others. Its not a secret that Pixar is the best in the animation industry and their movies are incredibly popular, but probably most of you don't know that they are masters in the short film stories.
Yesterday I came across one of the most popular Pixar short films that I haven't watched before. It is called Partly Cloudy and it imidiately motivated me to post an article about it. This short film is about where the babies come from. Everybody knows that babies come from the stork, but haven't you wondered from where the storks get the babies? This short film story reveals the answer to that question and the answer is up in the sky, where a dozen human-form clouds are making the offspring of the humanity and the animal world. They are working hard to make every sweet little infant so that the storks can deliver them to their parents. However, not every child is a sweet and endearing. There are many "dangerous" babies that are the responsibility of the grey, lonely and insecure cloud Gus. He has to create baby crocodiles, porcupines, rams and sharks that make the job of his fellow stork Peck tougher and tougher every time. This amazing short film story seemed so real to me after I've watched it so that I wanted to believe its true. I hope you enjoy watching it and don't forget to tell me what you think about it.
Director: Peter Sohn
Stars: Tony Fucile and Lori Richardson
