Kler - nothing human is alien to me

Hi there!
Kler - a film title that probably everyone has heard of. A movie that in first weekend has been watched by almost 1 million people. Is beating every record when it comes to the number of video views. I want to the cinema to find out what is all about.
This movie is produced to present the inside of the church. Things that are happening of the daily basis in Curia, in a small parish located in countryside and a parish in a city. The story is about 3 main characters: Priest Listowski which works in a parish in a big city. He has a dream to be transfer to Vatican. The situation is impeded by Archbishop that wants to build the biggest sanctuary in Poland. Priest Trybus works in a small parish and is having human problems like women and alcohol. Priest Kukuła is really close to God, but after some incidents his faith is going through a difficult time.
This movie is really difficult to talk about. In my opinion it's impossible to tell if I enjoyed that film or not. The final scene is intensive and when movie finished everyone left a cinema in a silent.
I'm not sure it the movie is based on real story or it's just so fabricated. If it's true, I won't even think about that.
Everyone should watch it and just think. What can be done to change and improve this situation. It's really terrifying and I don't want to think about that.
Thanks

The Girl on the Train - a psychological thriller

Hi there!
The Girl on the Train - book that three years ago was at the top of every book ranking. Is't really that good and unusual, or it has a good marketing? I had to check if by myself.
A few weeks ago I had finally an opportunity to read this book. This story is about three different women: Rachel, Anna and Megan.
Rachel is a 32-year old woman that has a problem with an alcohol. She suffers from the divorce. She lost a job, and she constantly has blackouts caused by the excessive alcohol consumption. Every day she takes a train to London. During a trip she always looks through the window and observes surroundings. She focuses on one house where live a couple. She doesn't know them, but she is idealising their life. Rachel named them and created their story. She doesn't know the truth of Megan life and her terrible past.
Anna is a current wife of Rachel's ex-husband - Tom. There is a happiness in her marriage, and she is taking care of her daughter. She is having some problems with Rachel, because she is calling Tom and sometimes she visits them as well as observes their house.
One day everything changed. After a long night out full of alcohol and drugs, Rachel woke up and her body is covered in bruises and blood. She doesn't remember what happened last night, but after she read in a newspaper that Megan is missing, she knows that something bad happen.
Will she discover the truth? Will she stop drinking?
All of that and more you will find out after reading this book.
In my opinion it's worth reading this book. After all the love stories it's time for something else. It's a psychological thriller, full of twist and turns.
After reading it, I understand why it was on the bestseller list.
Thanks

Another fabulous idea to spend time with family during summer holiday

Hi there!
I am trying not to look through the window, because the weather is not that great. It's raining and it's cold.  I wish I could go back to the warmer months.
In today post I want to present a fabulous place that I visited during summer  - Leonardia.
This place is located in Darłowo and is open from May to September.
Leonardia is a place for the rest and for the fun. It doesn't matter how old are you, because everyone is invited and everyone should find something for them. This place has a huge assortment of around 100 different games. Everything is made of wood, so this theme park is really eco-friendly. Also, all the attractions are hand made. There you can find games for one or few players. There are for everyone, because some of them are easy and others are quite difficult.
The only condition to spend a wonderful time there is a good weather, because everything is outside, so it can get a bit difficult when it's raining. Other than that I think this place is a wonderful attraction. Also, it's not really expensive. Tickets start from 14 zł.
I was there with my family, and we spend a wonderful time and made lots of memories.
Leonardia is a place to visit!
Thanks

The Fast and the Furious - good series to watch during colder months

Hi there!
Few months ago I decided to watch whole series called 'The Fast and the Furious' or colloquial 'Fast&Furious'. I really enjoyed this series and here are some words about it.
The first film was filmed in 2001 so almost 18 year ago. That's crazy how the time flies by. But back to the film. This series is based on action films that largely concerned with illegal street racing. Every episode represents different story that has something in common with the previous one. That's why I would recommend watching it in a chronological order.
There are a lot of cars and races. The main character Brian O'Conner played by Paul Walker is a very interesting person. Unfortunately this actor committed in 2013 a suicide which in my opinion is a huge loss. He was a wonderful actor that played not only in this series.
"Fast&Furious" is not the most amazing series that has ever been produced. There are a lot of people that think this is a really bad production. I can't agree with that, because while watching this I felt entertainment and I enjoyed it. Also, the music is really good and some songs are well-known to these days.
I would recommend you watch this series and find out for yourself if you like it or not.
Thanks

Catchy promotions in the cosmetics store - are they real?

Hi there!
Today I would like to go back to the world of cosmetics. More precisely let's talk about the promotions that had place few weeks ago in a really popular cosmetics store - Rossmann. Every 3 to 4 months this shop is offering a promotion which is working like that: when you buy 3 different  make-up products, you will get 55% off your purchase. Doesn't sound amazing? 
One time, I read an article that this action isn't that great. Why? Before the promotions, the prices of make-up are being raise so when the promotion goes life it seems that we are saving a lot of money, which is not true. Yes, we are saving SOME money, but it's not that much that we would think. 
Also, there are a lot of online shops that are selling make-up a lot cheaper than in Rossmann. For example a mascara that normally cost 60 zl, online it costs 25 zl. So even with a promotion we are paying more. 
I would suggest doing research and really think if you are saving money. Also, I feel that people buy more make-up that they need during this offer, and they are not able to use it all up and it goes bad. Beside saving money, they lose it after throwing up old make-up.
To sum up, for me this is all a huge marketing. Everyone wants to earn money, so they are trying everything to achieve that. Don't let them to do that and be more conscious that not everything is how it seems. 
Personally I didn't buy anything during this promotion, and I am proud of that.

The Breakdown by B.A.Paris - book to read on one breath

Hi there!
Few weeks ago I was looking through my bookshelves to find some interesting book to read. My choice has fallen upon a book titled "The Breakdown" written by B.A.Paris. I hadn't aspected to read it in a day but I did. 
This book is about Cass, woman in her thirties. Happily married until one day she saw the car in the wood with the woman sitting inside-the woman who was killed. After this day she's receiving silent calls, and she has the feeling that someone's watching her. Also, she's been forgetting everything. For example where she left her car or was is the password to her computer. 
Why everything changed after the accident? What is happening in her life? Why her husband is still with her? To found out all the answers you need to read this book. 
In my opinion the author did a wonderful job writing this book. It's so good. It will keep you on your toes until the last page. 
B.A.Paris also wrote other books that I will read in the future, because after this one a have great expectations. 
I think that everyone should read this book. For sure is one on my favourite. 
Thanks

Perfect family attraction for Summer - Maze Labyrinth

Hi there!
Today I would like to write few words about the attraction that I had an opportunity to enjoy during this summer. 
The World of Labyrinth in Bliziny is a name of this attraction. This place is located about 30 minutes from Gdańsk and I was there in August. There is a huge Maze Labyrinth as well as Labyrinth made of wood. The Labyrinth is created under licence of Adam Fisher. Adam Fisher is internationally recognised as the world's leading maze designer. Every year he creates different shape of labyrinth. We can read:
"There are lots of people who design mazes, but there's only one man who's considered the Michael Jordan of maze design - a British fellow named Adrian Fisher" - posted by Washington Post. 
This shows his genius when it comes to complete this task. 
I have to say that this year the shape of maze labyrinth was really hard and I straggled a lot with my family to get out. There was also a wood Labyrinth which was a bit easier, but also really interesting and entertaining. In my opinion this attraction is a fabulous way to spend a day with a family. You need to be creative and cooperate with others. It's a perfect task for everyone, for 7 year old boy and for 80 year old adult. 
I would highly recommend this place to everyone but especially to families with children. 
Thanks
