The Mentalist: Red John (2013)
Get over yourself, what was not to like I wonder
I just watched this episode and I wasn't disappointed at all. Having watched all episodes in one go I have seen many that were worse. I didn't like the missing respect on the side of the FBI, but other than that I liked the conclusion. The scene with the pigeon was brilliant as it clearly showed that Jane knew the real identity of Red John. Okay, it may have been nothing more than a hunch, but he was prepared. As I said: get over yourself. It is easy to vote this episode down, especially if the final conclusion hasn't been the one oneself would have come up with, but that is just childish, isn't it? I haven't had a clue either, but I enjoyed the conclusion. Now to the next episode, can't wait to watch.
Hadashi no Gen 2 (1986)
Aftermath
Yes, Barefoot Gen 1 is a fantastic movie, no doubts allowed;-). As far as I can remember, there's only one Sequel to any movie I saw that was better than its predecessor: Babe: Pig in the City. Okay, and now there are two. I watched both parts of Barefoot Gen in a row. Of course part 1 stands as one, if not the strongest anti-war movie that ever was created, but there's more: the tragedy afterwards. Those who died more or less immediately after the detonation were the lucky ones, while those who suffered had the real hell on earth. I watched 'Grave of the Fireflys' before 'Barefoot Gen 1 & 2', and after watching 'Grave...' I checked Wiki on Hiroshima, the damage, the aftermath, how it looked like and so on, and there was the story of a girl, 12-year old Sadako Sasaki, who survived the bomb, but died from leukemia in 1955. Need I say more?
Darwin's Nightmare (2004)
Life tastes good
Just watched the movie on TV. Having heard about it I was keen to watch it, and finally I did. Okay, same as everywhere, few get to eat the bread, the others fight for the crumbs, maybe even harder in Africa, but what do I know. Of course it is disgusting to see how people treat people (and the fish and the lake), and it is hard to imagine that -as some other user (from Belgium?) already stated in his comment- the EU supports this kind of trade, but there is that one image that describes everything, and you can see it just at the beginning of the movie: cheap huts (I deny to say houses), some kind of bar or something like that, poverty wherever you look, but there is this one banner from this company we all know, and white on red it states: LIFE TASTES GOOD. Can it get more cynical? I doubt it, but, again: what do I know? Well: no more Nile Perch for me, thanks. Can't eat as much as I want to vomit.
School of Rock (2003)
Absolutely Classic/Definitely Catchy
No reading between the lines: this movie kicks some ass! As most comments refer to Jack Black (who is awesome, no doubt about that), I'd like to put a spotlight on the kids: brilliantly treated, taken serious, very, very good performances, and you can't say that about a lot of movies, even in movies for kids they mostly are boring, too witty, you name it. AND: best movie-ending EVER!!!!! A perfect 11.
