I watched Schindlers List for the first time last night. What made it more poignant for me was I visited both Auswitz camps last month.

Speaking of Schindlers List, all 5 episodes of The Devil Next Door have dropped.

 

Summary: A Cleveland grandfather is brought to trial in Israel, accused of being the infamous Nazi death camp guard known as Ivan the Terrible

 

Episode 1 was really good.

Official Secrets is available; some good reviews, & a serious role for Keira.

Just downloaded the first episode of  His Dark materials , a sort of supernatural series with talking animals etc , i believe its one of the most expensive series ever made , its well made and the acting was good , i managed 20 minutes and was bored stiff .

Thanks to whoever recommended The Boys. Very enjoyable, dark and humors.

Handy to know where it's available.

Did anyone mention yet that 

 

End of the f - word world is back! 

 

Based on the season 1 finale it certainly seemed finished. 

 

But it's not. 

 

First episode of season 2 was great. 

 

Who said the Golden age of television is over?

Another season of The Curse of Oak Island has started.

 

It must be costing those Lagina brothers a fortune, hope it's worth it for them and they do actually find a treasure.

It's all a myth, the only money they make is giving gullible tourists a guided tour.

Yea well that's what it's about, myth or reality?

 

I remember reading the Readers Digest story on Oak Island way back in my youth. I sure would like to know if there is actually anything down there. 

 

As for making money from gullible tourists,  just take a look how much money they have poured into the project over the years, doubt the money from tourists would even cover a fraction of their costs.

Just watched, " The Catcher was a Spy"...........a clumsy title but a good movie IMO, with several threads running through it, and based on a true story. Worth watching.

Yes, it had the makings of a decent crime thriller until the writer started using Yabba ... I got to episiode 6 on account of not being as smart as the guy above who ditched it at 4.

 

watching the new Netflix documentary about John Demjanjuk, allegedly the operator of the gas chamber at Treblinka. 

 

[Blue Muton]

The first few episodes of series 2 of Britannia are out, we quite enjoyed series one so are hoping the second lives up to it. If you're looking for historical authenticity over entertainment then this is probably not the show for you.

 

 

Synopsis from Wiki:

"Set in AD 43, the series follows the Roman conquest of Britain — "a mysterious land ruled by wild warrior women and powerful druids who can channel the powerful forces of the underworld." Celtic rivals Kerra and Antedia must work together to fight off the Roman invasion led by Aulus Plautius."

Are there any Pink Floyd fans here?

 

If so, you just gotta see Roger Waters: The Wall (2014). IMDB link

 

I watched it last night in 1080p and DTS... just awesome!

 

 

From an IMDB movie review:

 

Ex-Pink Floyd bassist/ co-singer Roger Waters delves into some of his motivations for writing The Wall, specifically the war-related death of his own father at a very early age, and his father's loss of his own father in an earlier war. Very moving footage of Waters travelling to Anzio in the present day, to the actual scene of the battle in which his father died during, and going to his grandfather's grave with his own adult kids is shown between footage of several concerts, in the UK, Italy, Greece, and Argentina, edited together to give us a full and complete live rendition of all 26 songs from The Wall, as well as two extra songs (the unreleased More Bricks In The Wall, and a favourite of mine, What Shall We Do Now?) performed live, as The Wall is progressively built between Waters' band, and the audiences, and as animation and graphics are projected and dance on The Wall.

This is preceded by a very well done filmed intro by Liam Neeson, describing his reaction to hearing The Wall for the first time, and his experience seeing the subsequent shows Pink Floyd staged in London in February of 1980, which brought back memories of the two times in 2010 that I saw Waters perform The Wall (in Tampa and Atlanta). Complete with dominant, overbearing Mother, derisive schoolmarm, dive bombers, and cracking thin ice of modern life, and marching hammers, it was one of the most amazing concerts I've ever seen (second only to Waters' own Dark Side Of The Moon tours, from 2006 and 2007, which I saw in Cleveland, LA, Hong Kong and Shanghai, Dubai, Zurich, Rio, and Philadelphia- I even met Waters and his band a couple of times. Waters, his then sax player Ian Ritchie, and guitarist Dave Kilminster was especially cordial, even going so far as to walk around the stands before the show, talking with people and taking photos with fans)

It brought back incredible memories of foreign countries and peoples, who might not even know any other words in the English language other than the words to The Wall, which they belt out right back to the band every night. The Wall's songs of isolation and loneliness are what those millions of people have in common.

Comfortably Numb was a highlight, musically and lyrically; one of the finest songs ever recorded, and it sounds even better when performed live.

This partially autobiographical concert film is rounded off with an interview session with Waters and Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason.

My only complaint, and it's a MAJOR one, is the film began with an incredibly lengthy intro, a grey brick wall, very slowly moving to the left, very slowly, to very slowly reveal the phrase, "Please take your seats the show is about to begin", which had various non-Floyd/ Waters songs playing while it happened, and lasted for nearly 20 minutes. It was like a bad opening act who overstayed their welcome.

 

If you like Pink Floyd, do yourself a favour... watch this film.

Like Pink Floyd, yet the David Gilmour reincarnations have all been better than those by Roger Waters musically IMO.   

Richard Wright and Nick Mason played with David, not Roger for a reason I think. 

Will take a look as I do like "the Pink Floyd sound" as Syd named them in the beginning I believe

The war of the worlds 2019,a French /British series not taken from the novel ,just watched ep1 seems quite good ,,but if downloading beware many  ones saying 2019 are in fact the Edwardian rubbish version(sorry my take on it) but you can download the whole series 

[xylophone]

Just watched "Official Secrets" and thought it was very good and would recommend it!

 

A bit of an eye opener for those of us who may not have followed the Iraqi invasion/war and events leading up to it that closely.

[Will27]

If you can't wait and can put up with hard-coded Korean subtitles, this one is on RAR.
