Blow (2001) – Fast paced, based on real events.
Synopsis: The story of how George Jung, along with the Medellín Cartel headed by Pablo Escobar, established the American cocaine market in the 1970s in the United States. Starring the very talented Johnny Depp, Blow is one of those films, that differs from the fast paced, shallow actions, of it’s time. Yes, there is the ‘thrill’ aspect of fast cash and indulgent life, but I love how Blow, also focused on the human side, and the cost of George Jung (Johnny Depp) actions, bring

Girl on the Third Floor
Synopsis: Don Koch (Phil CM Punk) tries to renovate a rundown mansion with a sordid history for his growing family, only to learn that the house has other plans.

Honesty the intro titles were hard to read, given the ill-spaced Old English Victorian feel font and movement, so I skipped them all togethe
