Filmed in 2011 during Glee hiatus; premiered at Tribeca Film Festival in 2012 then released worldwide in January 2013, Struck by Lightning is the second film produced by the Glee idol, Chris Colfer after his directorial debut The Little Leftover Witch made under the contract with Disney. Chris has written a screenplay for Struck by Lightning and played the leading role. The movie revolves around the flashbacks of main character, Carson Phillips who was stricken by the deathly lightning bolt. Before he dies he experiences the colorful memories about the last years of his life. He ran a literary magazine at Clover High School and in order to get a material constantly blackmailed his classmates – in most cases very successfully. Besides the genuine Chris Colfer's play we enjoy the performances of Sarah Hyland (April Apocalypse, Conception, Gay Dude) and Christina Hendricks (Seconds of Pleasure, How to Catch a Monster, Ginger & Rosa) accompanied by spontaneous Bachelorette star Rebel Wilson (Pitch Perfect, Pain & Gain, What to Expect When You're Expecting). Carson's parents are portrayed by Allison Janney (Lucky Them, Bad Words, Trust Me) and Dermot Mulroney (Space Warriors, Jobs, Stoker).

Undoubtfully, cinematography has been my passion since a very young age. Even now, watching a new movie or series always prompts me to ask a lot of questions to the author. Thus, every little essay about a title is definitely not a spoiler, but rather an attempt to explore the idea.

The Boat That Rocked

The Boat That Rocked

Richard Curtis once again attempted to combine several genres and cater to all audiences, without an exception. The Boat That Rocked is sprightly comedy about horny rock propagandists. The movie is complemented by a gentle romantic touch of first love. Then it turns into a melodrama about growing up, finding one's own ego and his father. Then strives to make the step in the direction of a musical with indispensable Nighy dancing. It almost went into the drama: the British government still slightly crossed the line against the disgraced radio. And once again it becomes a comedy. Richard Curtis by doing nothing supernatural managed to go beyond this or that genre, really pleased everyone by this charming and even, "mainstream" movie.
