After a long and colorful life working in munitions and getting entangled in the Spanish Civil War, the Manhattan Project, and other definitive events of the 20th century, Allan Karlsson (Robert Gustafsson) finds himself stuck in a nursing home. Determined to escape on his 100th birthday, he leaps out of a window and onto the nearest bus, kicking off an unexpected journey involving, among other surprises, a suitcase stuffed with cash, some wicked criminals, and an elephant named Sonya. Like an unruly Nordic cousin of Forrest Gump, Allan’s youthful escapades and current adventures weave together into an offbeat treat for anyone who’s young at heart. During 114 minutes with English, Spanish, French, German, Swedish, Italian, Russian languages, this awsome film will keep you full of pace to see a foreign film. Directed by Felix Herngren, It would be the adventure of a lifetime for anyone else, but Allan has a larger-than-life backstory: Not only has he witnessed some of the most important events of the twentieth century. Obviously it’ s full of wild adventure with great combination of wits, luck, and hilarious circumstances especially when he approached his visits to foreign countries, and his conversations with world leaders, with a refreshing sort of naïveté. His complete apathy toward political matters gives the viewer a strangely fresh, open-minded perspective. For fans of independent and foreign films, this one is completely contrived and utterly delightful.

Even some books were written very well in the film version changes. Casting of Fifty Shades of Grey did a good job. Ana is a strong woman and she did what she wanted. It is not abusing a woman. It is a DOM and a SUB and the SUB knew what she was getting into and had the right to walk away any time she wanted. The male strip scenes were all decent. Despite two complex characters stars Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson have real sense of depth that other actors, both have accomplished the real goal of each character. The good news are for fans of this great film, especially for Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele, will be able to have the ultimate at-home movie experience when Fifty Shades of Grey, the global phenomenon that grossed more than $560 million globally, comes to Digital HD and Blue-ray,DVD and on Demand Friday, May 8, 2015 from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. This great film would be the best choice as a great gift because you will see an alternate ending and the exclusive tease to the next film, Fifty Shades Darker, along with almost two hours of all-new bonus features that go behind the scenes of this year’s hottest romance.
During 2 hours, 6 minutes, you will enjoy this film the best dialogues, romance scenes with some language subtitles in English SDH, Spanish and French subtitles and a great quality sound in English DTS-HD Master Audio with 5.1/Dolby Digital 2.0, Spanish DTS Surround 5.1, French DTS Surround 5.1.

LEWIS BLACK, GRAMMY Award-winning, stand-up comedian, is one of the most prolific and popular performers working today. He executes a brilliant trifecta as a stand-up comedian, actor and author. Receiving critical acclaim, he performs more than 200 nights annually, to sold-out audiences throughout Europe, New Zealand, Canada and the United States. He is one of a few performers to sell out multiple renowned theaters, including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Brooks Atkinson Theatre, New York City Center, the Main Stage at the Mirage in Las Vegas and most recently, a sold-out Broadway run at the Richard Rodgers Theatre in New York City.
His live performances provide a cathartic release of anger and disillusionment for his audience. He is a passionate performer who is a more pissed-off optimist than a mean-spirited curmudgeon. Lewis is the rare comic who can cause an audience to laugh themselves into incontinence while making compelling points about the absurdity of our world.
LEWIS BLACK came into national prominence with his appearances on THE DAILY SHOW in 1996. Those appearances on THE DAILY SHOW led to comedy specials on HBO, Comedy Central, Showtime and Epix. In 2001, he won Best Male Stand-Up at the American Comedy Awards. He has released eight comedy albums, including the 2007 GRAMMY Award-winning The Carnegie Hall Performance. He won his second GRAMMY Award for his album Stark Raving Black and has published three bestselling books: Nothing’s Sacred (Simon & Schuster, 2005), Me of Little Faith(Riverhead Books, 2008) and I’m Dreaming of a Black Christmas (Riverhead Books, 2010).
