An intense gripping thriller in which a mother who lost her only son in a hit-and-run accident seeks revenge. Impossible to stop watching. A well acted, nicely crafted drama with surprising twits and turns.

This 32-minute documentary shows the surfing on the rough and cold waters of the hostile and isolated Canadian coast. Adventurous! Though fascinating and thrilling, it must be cold and uncomfortable.

The Dixie Chicks---a number-one selling female band of all time. But I've never heard of the name. No wonder this band plays country music. I'm not much of a country music fan.

At the start a dog chases a rabbit, then a donkey enters the hallway into a room and looks out the window meditatively. The dog has apparently caught the rabbit and keeps on eating it. Then the dog sleeps as if he were dead beside the donkey. The starting sequence doesn't make sense at all.

Niko turns out good for nothing. Although I identify with him to a certain extent, he's really a slacker! To be honest, this drama appear quite boring, intentionally funny at times, though. It looks like a film made by a film student.
