The two boys are brilliant. The inhumanity of it all grows steadily right until the end. The innocence of Bruno is written is his beautiful blue eyes, as he tries to navigate why his friend, Shmuel, is wearing pyjamas and has a number on his pyjama shirt. He even thinks it must be some kind of game. I was a little puzzled by Shmuel, apparently, not having the number tattooed on his arm. Maybe he did, but in the film, he didn’t mention it. The propaganda film of the conditions of the camp was staggering and heartbreaking in its attempt to fool those who would be shown it. The difference between the fake manipulation and reality is tragic. Over the years and learning about the holocaust, and other atrocities around the world, I can never quite wrap my mind around the fact that “there, but for the grace of god, go I”. The thing is, this statement is not something one should look at from one side, because let’s not forget, there were those who not only allowed the atrocities to happen, but agreed with it all and helped carry them out. There are also those in today’s society, who will actually stand up and deny the Holocaust happened or indeed, there are those who are supportive of what happened and would gladly see it happen again. Quite how this type of situation comes about and is actually put into action, is mind blowing. Let’s not forget all those people who suffered in the holocaust and never, ever let it be denied that it happened or forgot that it really did happen. Quite how society can slip into this mindset, let alone think it’s the right thing to do, is truly horrifying.

Okay, so I knew this movie was going to be a bit iffy, going by Jason’s other movies, but I thought I’d give it a go. All went reasonably well until the current Beekeeper showed up at the petrol (gas) station! Well, that did it for me and I stopped watching. What a crock….

Just started to watch Season 3 and only got 30 odd seconds or so and realised the cast had changed. I looked it up and because, obviously, the original cast are no longer “boys”, it was decided to change the cast. That’s it for me, I just don’t like the new characters, even after 30 secs. That was enough for me. No way am I watching any more. Am going to seek out the movie, which has the original cast and then that’s it.

Brilliant series! My favourite person was Tommy! 😄

A lovely movie and very well acted. Made you laugh and smile. I loved visiting India, many years ago, so it was nice to watch. I loved India and it’s people.

I saw The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel earlier this evening and have just finished The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. I wasn’t sure, as far as sequels go, whether or not it would be as good as the first one, but it is and had me laughing out loud and smiling. At the end the second one, it had me with tears in my eyes. Both are very good movies and I’m glad I watched them both.

Have just watched episode 1 and it’s brilliant! Dexter Morgan is back! Loved the old theme tune too and it was really nice that the character of Debra, his sister, is in it too.

Excellent acting and a very gripping storyline. Can highly recommend, although some people may be offended by a lot of the series content. However, it does show how cruel people can be and certainly makes one think about things, which is no bad thing.

Okay, so I’m nowhere near the age group this show is aimed at, but even as a 61 year old female, who is young at heart and soul, I enjoyed watching this Disney series. It’s very well acted, especially by the children in the show. Had me laughing at some points, with the two youngest and their dialogue; very cute. It’s a good story and I look forward to Season 2! There are some really excellent young actors around and I wish them well for the future.

Very enjoyable series and excellent acting. It has a sinister and dark vibe, very much like the movie, Silence of the Lambs. The music also adds to this vibe. I note that it’s probably not going to get renewed and that’s a great shame. Can highly recommend though. Think I might go back and watch the movies again. The tv series Hannibal was also excellent. Might watch that again too.
