Story of two young people who belong to different worlds. It is the chronicle of a love improbable, almost impossible but inevitable dragging in a frantic journey they discover the first great love.

Hache (Mario Casas) is a rebellious boy, impulsive, unconscious, has a appetite for risk and danger embodied in endless fights and illegal motorbike races, the limit of common sense.

Aneta's review:
I would never watch this movie but my boyfriend propose this title. Spanish movie, Spanish language, so pretty for my ears. I can’t explain my feelings but this movie has something unique what I very like. Story about Hache, Babi, Katina, Pollo and about their friends and family. Hache & Babi and Pollo & Katina – guys come from other world, girls also but they are couple and they are really good friends. So money aren’t important. First love, first parties, first quarrel, first truancy, first forbidden things. True life teenagers. In the movie we see Hache who can’t control his anger. Everything this because his mom had lover. He is very dangerous and use his power almost all the time. He has also problem with law. Babi is “parents’s daughter” always polite, has good marks etc. But when she starts meet with Hache she is changing. On better? I think she is still decent girl but can say her own opinion. She has very strict mom and awesome dad. In the end of movie everything change. Pollo is dies in motorcycle racing. Babi
blamed Hache for the death of Pollo. Hache go to the London, Babi stay in Spain but stop talk with Katina. I love this story. It’s not always colorful in life – this movie shows this. Perfecta musica, lenguaje perfecto, me gusta esta pelicula! ¿Tal vez debería aprender español de nuevo?

"Three meters above sky", this movie is something really special for me because it is the first movie I saw with my Girlfriend hence will always be a beautiful memory.

Now about the movie, it is about some crazy love story between a guy Hache who is a bike racer, jobless etc and a girl Babi who is very decent and well educated. The story revolves around how he makes her do some really wild things and she starts to fall in love with him but he always have some anger issues and a lot of bad luck which always end up against him. The sad part of the movie is that no matter how much they love each other their differences grow them apart plus also with help of a "bitch"(Pardon my English) mom of girl who does not want her daughter to be with this guy everything gets messy. She ends up being with some other guy that her mom wanted her to be with and Hugo leaves to live and start a new life in London. I think for me the story is nice I really liked this movie.. it shows u values of true friendship , love and how sometimes it's just good to loosen up a bit and let it go. I have seen this movie twice now and still would see it again because I think it is a lovely movie.

The Da Vinci Code




Title: The Da Vinci Code
Author: Dan Brown
Genre: Mystery, Detective fiction, Conspiracy fiction, Thriller
Year: 2003


Aneta’s review:
Very famous book. Rather everyone heard about The Da Vinci Code. I read this book times. I know it was mistake but first I watched movie, later read book. Ehh really my mistake. So during read book all the time in my mind wasn’t my fictive Robert Langdon just Tom Hanks… When I read book first time was enchanted, a lot of riddles but second hmm I was little bored because paid more attention on other things. So much historical descriptions and so annoying Sophie “When I was small my grandfather blablabla” or “Princess Sophie” I don’t know what many times it was repeating but a lot… Whole story very smart and interesting even if this is just fake story. Have Jesus in the family ulala nice :D

Afzaal's review:
So the Code, hmm where to begin.. It is certainly one of those books that enhanced my vocabulary to a totally new level. The book is about the "Holy Grail" and the quest of it, the story starts with the murder of 4 people that are suppose to protect the secret location of the Holy Grail and they are part of a secret society. Apparently they not have so good relation with the church because they can unveil the secret that Jesus has a blood line and had a wife and kids etc. So hmm the story evolves between another person who is trying to get the holy grail and he was responsible for murder of all these 4 protectors of Grail but the last Protector who died was the main person and his Grand Daughter who happened to cryptologist (Sophie Neveu) and the  symbologist Robert Langdon become the main murder suspects but because Sophie Grandfather left her many Clues and also mentioned to find Robert they run away from Police investigation and on hunt to find the Holy Grail. In the same moment the Police and the other person who is looking for the Holy Grail is after them also. It is in end cat and mouse game to find the Holy Grail. It has some surprising ending and it is a great book to read with a lot of interesting facts that would keep you in it all the time. I have to agree that there were some places where I kind of just skimmed through paragraphs because they just started giving soooo much detail and it became boring but overall I would say it was a good read. Reading any book after this books seems like going back to ABCD.. after reading a novel.... So it will make you check Dictionary quiet few times and if you are not Christian or Roman Catholic there are rather few things you won't understand but lucky for me my beautiful Girlfriend was always there to provide me with some extra knowledge :)
