The investigation by the real-life Spotlight team led to a widespread reform of the Catholic Church and helped to spark a global conversation about institutional abuse and cover-ups. "Spotlight" is a powerful and important film that serves as a reminder of the vital role that journalism plays in uncovering the truth and holding those in power accountable.

If a wildlife lover peacefully cohabits in you together with a fan of such modern entertainment as IMAX, you'll enjoy this movie about the adventures of polar bears in the frosty arctic wilderness, for sure.

Be sure to watch To the Arctic 3D online even if you are not so lucky to live in a radius of 100 miles from IMAX cinema. Of course the scale of effects would be not so descent, but great shots of wild Arctic nature, coupled with an amazing voice of Paul McCartney (yes, these were his songs in the film) is unlikely to leave you indifferent to the plight of these incredible sweet wild creatures: white polar bears.

Brothers

Brothers

Brothers is a film of halftones, notes on the margins, where the beauty is in the Details. But, like many other such intricate work, the film seemed not over: cut off in mid-sentence. The brothers conflict ends with the simple phrase. Sam's internal conflict, the break of conscience after capture in Afghanistan is just honesty. From this point of view Brothers are perceived only a demonstration of acting, the spectacular, of course, but still remaining essentially "the casting". Psychological observations, the reliability of the details and fine texture of the characters are the wonderful elements of the movie, but really outstanding masterpieces are crowned with the point, not the dots.
