Pack your lunch if you're going to watch Dances with Wolves. Epically long.

Dilbert - Seasons 1 @ 2: 7-8/10

Too bad the series was canceled, but the 'pregnant' two-parter was too much to behold.

The Men Who Stare At Goats - 2/10

What did I just watch? A stupid film with a meandering plot to nowhere, I'm really not sure what it was trying to be, I would give it a zero if it wasn't for the star studded cast, how on earth they managed to get such a cast for such a shitty film is beyond me.

Yah it felt pretty pointless tbh...

The Core was on TV...

7/10
I quite liked it...

The American 4/10 3/10

What a load of pretentious wankery. It's just an excuse for George Clooney to run around for 2 hours showing off the fact he speaks Italian, sipping espresso's whilst disguising the fact in reality it's just a shitty action movie with a romantic-y subplot and an attractive setting.

tl;dr Clooney beeing Clooney?

I didn't feel like watching The American just because of the poster. I felt it was the same thing I'd seen a thousand times before.

they're amazing... john malkovich on television adverts? so refreshing

whilst obviously a work of fiction

Wut?

A Time To Kill - 7/10

Solid plot, good cast, well acted, although it just seems wrong when Kevin Spacey is not the guy who is smarter than everyone else, I didn't think this was the right role for him, also :

Spoiler (highlight to read):
The whole KKK thing seemed pretty stupid, and wasn't very well integrated in with the rest of the film, that was my main disappointment with it.

Toy Story 3
10/10

I've always enjoyed this film series and I heard the final installment was good, but that still didn't prepare me for this film. I laughed, I cried. Easily one of the best films made in recent years.

This is the BBC at it's finest. It was exactly what I was looking for. Anyone wishing to get a educational and in depth review of the events surrounding Nazi Germany should pick this up. It's a documentary from 1997, and it is extremely informative. It goes beyond the typical "they were brainwashed because they were desperate" rhetoric, and even touched on theories that suggest the opposite. For example, the unprompted desire to turn in socially withdrawn people into the gestapo. The gestapo was largely enabled by the little people who just wanted to please the fuhrer on their own. In fact the gestapo was a very small group. They interviewed some of the people who denounced their neighbors (without real cause), and they were in clear denial, despite having their signature on official statements and forms. The responses were simply "I can not explain it". Watching them squirm was worth the rent in itself.

It has archival footage, but it doesn't base it's sole exsitance on the entertainment value of it. Not at all. This peice really illustrates how both conservatives and socialist will each become radical in the face of crisis.

The first Disc is broken up into three parts.

• Helped into Power .. This section touched on the roots of the Nazi Party. The video discussed the inclusion of groups like the Wandervogel, which became a major part of the Hitler youth. It talked about the back room deal to let Hitler off easy when he was arrested. He certainly was "Helped into power"

• Chaos and Consent .. Chaos came when unemployment soared and when the Americans called in their loans. (Germany was ordered to pay reperations after the first war). Chaos was also due to the fact that there were so many parties vying for power. "So is it typically German to have 30 party's ~ Adolf Hitler". Consent came from the willingness of the Brits and other Western Powers to allow Hitler to continue to take land in what he called an attempt to unite all German speaking people. This is why the rest of the Czechoslovakia fell so quickly. They pushed all of the military might up to the border of Germany prior to the WWII. When Neville Chamberlain gave Germany permission to take the area of Czechoslovakia that contained the Sudeten German's they were in position to easily take the rest of Czechoslovakia. This was the real wake up call .. since he went beyond the "unite all german people" dialog. This was also the first time the Nazi's rolled in without fanfare. .. unlike when the Austrians welcomed them.

• The Wrong War .. The title of this section comes from the fact that Hitler admired the British and their empire. His original desire was to ally with them and to take on the Soviets. (the opposite is what happend in the begining of the war). The Nazi party had already been battling communism from the begining, within Germany.

Watch it, thank me later 5/5
