It's almost tearing me in half this series. I want to like it but it's so...dark, despite some of the nicer aspects of it.

Our main girl is so damaged but she's seen some light in the form of our guy, only he saw something horrible and has now turned his back on her. I wanted to strangle someone (preferably her uncle, ugh!) and bang their heads together. Now we've been left with a cliff hanger at the end of this volume.

So off to start volume 3.

Great read
Dita was a prisoner of auschwitz, books were banned and if found punishable by death, she became the Librarian of block 31, block 31 was like a small school it was to give children a sense of a little normality with a small amount of books which were given out by dita and also looked after and repaired, as you can imagine it horrific what the children saw and the conditions they had to live in. Such a heartwarming and upsetting read.

All aboard for a great Action Comedy!
I wasn't sold when I first saw the trailer for this and after seeing the critic reviews my hopes were not raised to expect much.
But I'm glad I did catch it as it is very funny. Very few films make the whole cinema audience laugh but this did many times. Yes it's very violent but in an over the top way. Imagine Kill Bill crossed with Snatch and that's the general vibe you get from this. Don't miss this train.

There are loads of great rides at the amusement park. The Devil's Elbow is the favourite, and always packed. When it flies off its rails, it causes a terrible accident. But Tess isn't so sure it was an accident. Someone knows what she saw, and someone is out to shut her up.

This is one of my favourites from Diane Hoh and the Point horrors. I’m tea enjoying this trip down memory lane. I really don’t like fairground rides.

A pleasure to be the first one to rate this so it can have a solid 1/10.

I saw the first 20 minutes so I think I can successfully say I watched enough of this trash to know that it was indeed TRASH. Everyone has shit on this enough already but I will take this opportunity to SHIT ON IT MORE. THIS IS AWFUL IN EVERY SINGLE WAY AND COULD HAVE SINGLEHANDEDLY DESTROYED THE VIDEO GAME MOVIE GENRE (Not that that would have been the worst thing of all time). BAD.
  
Zulu (1964)
Zulu (1964)
1964 | Classics, Drama, War
1964 retelling of the Defence of Rorke's Drift, which is one of the most famous last-stands in military history, and where a small force of British redcoats holds off their vastly numerically superior (albeit armed with less sophisticated weaponry) Zulu force.

The engagement itself takes place shortly (on the same day as) after the Battle of Iswandhlana, with the defence taking place on 22-23 January 1879, and saw the most number of Victoria Crosses awarded to the survivors of an battle - perhaps in an attempt to deflect attention from their earlier defeat?
