A Filmmaker's Review: "Auschwitz: The Nazis and the Final Solution" (BBC, 2005)
A documentary created by the BBC to showcase the lives of the survivors of the death camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau was first broadcast in 2005 and is now available on Netflix and other sites to view. It is a six-part documentary series that concentrates on the formation, building, usage and realisation of the Auschwitz death camp and from the survivors telling their tales of pain and torment to an surviving SS Officer who is haunted by his own ignorance and even to love stories which evolved between prisoner and officer in the death camp - this documentary shows us the interior of Auschwitz like we have never seen before. I bet they did not teach you about any of this stuff in school. It is absolutely heartbreaking.

During the 1980s, we get more of a mixture of film, genres begin to collide and characters are multi-faceted experiences of light and dark in human nature. From extreme levels of Sci-Fi to the High Drama Renaissance, this era is one of the most fascinating for film historians because it is in this era where film expands beyond our wildest imaginations. It comes with epics, horror movies, biopics, adaptations, teen drama, comedies, action and adventure, romance and so much more. It is truly one of the most diverse decades in the history of American film.

Pliny the Younger’s letters represent the way in which Roman everyday life is understood by the various correspondents and depends on the fact that the correspondents may be in a similar situation and social class as himself. These letters often concern different aspects of the human experience including: living arrangements, valuing and selling houses, family and friendships, funerals and the grieving process, inheritance and family connections, life and philosophies, morals and ethics and finally, the way in which learning and knowledge impact the lifestyle one will live. Pliny the Younger though, also goes through his own profession in which he details the requirements for good oration and the way in which he scripts his narratives.

Kyles has an intimate moment with Lola
Spoiler alerts for The Young and the Restless are suggesting there will be trouble in paradise, where Kyle and Summer are concerned. The young lovers had barely gotten together when taping shut down because of the coronavirus. Fans of the duo have not really had time to enjoy them and now there will be friction so soon.

Amber BlaizePublished 4 years ago in GeeksGeneral Hospital could put Jordan with Taggert and Porsha with Curtis
Now that Marcus Taggert is back in Port Charles there are a number of things that could go wrong. If Curtis was not in on the faked death he will be angry with Jordan for not telling him. Portia and Trina will be upset that they mourned for Taggert in vain. Jordan mentioned last week that Epiphany slowed the detective's heart rate so that he would appear dead. It’s not clear who else was in on the hoax but when Taggert emerges the fur will fly. Some spoilers have suggested that Sonny and Jason may have been the ones to suggest this tactic but neither has said anything that confirms this theory.

Synopsis No one inside the snow globe knows that Morozoko Industries is controlling their weather, testing them to form a stronger race that can survive the fall out from the bombs being dropped in the outside world--all they know is that they must survive the harsh Winter that lasts a month and use the few days of Spring, Summer, and Fall to gather enough supplies to survive. When the seasons start shifting, Genesis and her boyfriend, Jack, know something has gone wrong. As their team begins to find technology that they don't have access to inside their snow globe of a world, it looks more and more like one of their own is working against them. Genesis soon discovers Morozoko Industries is to blame, but when a foreign enemy tries to destroy their weather program to make sure their destructive life-altering bombs succeed in destroying the outside world, their only chance is to shut down the machine that is spinning out of control and save the lives of everyone inside the bunker--at any cost

Jide OkonjoPublished 4 years ago in GeeksDark Forces - (Netflix)
Brief synopsis: A man stays in a creepy hotel full of peculiar characters as he searches for his missing sister. Is it any good?: Absolutely not. Dark Forces - original Mexican title - Fuego Nergo (Black Fire) - is almost indescribably terrible. As this is a review, I am somewhat committed to the notion of having to describe what I witnessed. This film, somehow, scored a three-point four on IMDB. Admittedly, that is a low score but it is still too high for this tripe.
