How fancy of me to make 2012 summary at the end of March? I fell a lot behind and there´s lots of events I didn´t get to write about. Not only theater and events but even whole vacations, which I´m sad about. My little posts really help me remember stuff but I know I´m not capable to go the whole way back and write it down now. I will just try to ( Read more... )

The Words

A movie with Bradley Cooper about a guy who finds an old manuscript and passes it off as his own book. When the book is published and becomes a bestseller the real writer appears to nag at his conscience.

The movie has lots of interesting layers. It consists of three storylines that are actually part of one complex storyline . It´s ( Read more... )

I went to our wine county in Moravia with my friends last weekend. It´s such a cliche, kind of. Every time you mention in Prague that you are going to Moravia everyone´s first reaction is „Wine tasting?“ lol But this time it was true. My friends live in the middle of the region so they invited us. It was six of us from Prague. We left on Friday ( Read more... )

And so it happened. At the age of 29 I saw my first ballet. I thought the classic of all the classics is a good place to start. I think seeing Swan Lake is part of the general cultural knowledge so I´m glad i finally did it. I invited my friend and her mom and sister. It plays in the beautiful State Opera House and we had our own box for four ( Read more... )

Hope Springs - My rule is to go see every movie with Meryl Streep in it and that´s how I ended watching a movie about old people having sex.lol But seriously, it was quite a nice movie about older married couple trying to reconnect and save their marriage. I do have a problem watching old people making out on tv, though.  Sure, do it, I don´t care ( Read more... )

There is a new czech movie in the cinemas that had a good reviews and quite a good buzz. There´s been so many average to bad czech movies lately that a positive review is really a nice surprise. There´s only a few czech filmmakers/directors that guarantee a good movie and  David Ondříček is one of them. The lead role is played by Ivan Trojan who is ( Read more... )

Brave
My friend  insisted on seeing this so I went with her. Ended up sitting in the middle of the cinema with bunch of 5 year old clutching their stuffed animals surrounding me. And yes, it´s a good movie for kids but I expected more from Pixar. Pixar can  make animated movies appealing for adults but this one had Disney written all over it. I hope ( Read more... )

My friend from high school, Iva, has been working as a guide in Rhodes this summer and she told me that if I came she would show me around.  I love Greece as a summer destination and Rhodes was missing on my list of visited islands so I thought it would be good opportunity to go. I went there with my friend Eva. We booked a hotel and departed on ( Read more... )

They have Shakespeare in the park in NY and we have Shakespeare at the Castle in Prague. Beautiful place, great atmosphere, the best actors, very expensive and sold out. I´ve got to see Romeo and Juliet few years back. I talked about the festival with my friend this summer and then she surprised me with tickets for the Taming of the Shrew as my ( Read more... )

Women Tennis Double - Andrea Hlaváčková/Lucie Hradecká - It was such a joy to watch them play. They were always smiling, like they were playing for fun. No pressure. It was so refreshing. They lost to Williams sisters in the finale but for us they won.
