Notes:
About subtitles...
For the avoidance of unjust accusation of me in clumsy subtitles, I just wanna say that all subtitles I've downloaded from various fansub web-sites. I don't know about correctness of every translation but I would like to thanks all fansubers who make these subtitles for Russian movies...
English language is not my native, so I have no any chances and time to check all text in every subtitle for the purpose of mistakes in grammar and other nuances. The complete proof-reading for me is impossible. Before posting I only bring to conformity the time of subtitles with dialogues and phrases. So, if somebody find any mistakes, please forgive me... :-)
