Banana!!

PLOT

A prequel/spin-off to the Despicable Me franchise will take you at the beginning of time and you'll see Minions evolving from single-celled organisms into beings who exist only to serve history's most villainous masters. By 1968, the lack of a master to serve drives them into depression, so Kevin, Stuart and Bob go on a long journey to find their new supervillain boss.

REVIEW

I just love them. Kudos to creators of this cute yellow characters. They speak their own language and are so funny and enjoyable. What's not to like? Well ok. The movie is definitely not as well put together and doesn't have that cool story and vibe as Despicable Me movies but I still like the film a lot. It makes you smile and smile a bit more. Sometimes with stupid humor but ok. It's a cute, lighthearted, energetic film you can relax to and have a light fun night with. 4/5

Stunning visuals and amazing theatre experience!

PLOT

It is based on the real events of the 1996 Mount Everest disaster, and focuses on the survival attempts of two expedition groups, one led by Scott Fischer (Jake Gyllenhaal) and the other by Rob Hall (Jason Clarke). The two expeditions, Adventure Consultants and Mountain Madness, meet at base camp and prepare to summit Mount Everest in the following days. But as we all know it, Mother Nature can be unpredictable...

REVIEW

I love outdoor movies like this and luckily Everest didn't disappoint. Stunning visuals, spectacular shots, the movie immerses you into the environment and you get to know the characters and care about them. The whole cast was great as well! What a movie! Definitely 2015 must see! What could be better you ask? I think characterization could be done better and also the script. Nevetheless, it's really good and a perfect film to watch in 3D in the cinema because it adds to the experience. 4/5

Summer of 2015, part II - Cannes

Here is my second part of this year's summer vacation. If you missed first one click here.

Our journey continued in Cannes. We stayed in this beautiful stylish little studio <3

Can you guess what is this picture below on the left side with Marilyn Monroe on it? :)

What to say about Cannes? Firstly I enjoyed the little things related to movies on almost every corner. Aaaaaa, so cool! Sometimes too commercialized but still... I will also say I've never seen so many fancy boutiques in one place... Chanel, Chopard, Louis Vuitton, Bulgari, etc. Walking on La Croisette is just crazy! And the luxurious hotels, casions, even more jaw dropping cars... And the yachts! The world I've never seen before for sure!

But it's not all red carpet, pretty palm trees, amazing seaside and glamour. This is just one side. Most people look normal and you can find poverty also. For me the biggest shock was when we were having a beer outside the irish pub and around the corner they came three fully armed soldiers. A friend who lives in Paris told us about tighter control since Charlie Hebdo but it's still different when you experiance it for yourself.

This owner must really love his Lambo! I would too :)

How cool is this banana on the beach? Perfect beach for me!

Omg! Rolls-Royce Phantom! Live!

No need to say that the nights with full moon were so beautiful...

I don't write about food and drinks here because I review things on Tripadvisor but if you like or are interested in something - just ask ;)
Because we love irish pubs we had to visit all three that we found. And let me tell you... Guinness in two pubs was so watery! Bljah! The best one was The Quay's. And we decided we will try shots of the week. It was some drink that smelled like chewing gum. But it was actually quite tasty :)
