Water for Elephants

It was Friday 13^th, so what do you do to stay out of trouble ? We decided to go to the cinema and see ‘Water for Elephants’.

Despite the negative review in the UK Guardian newspaper (and a number of other publications) we enjoyed the film. To quote the Internet Movie Database … “A veterinary student abandons his studies after his parents are killed and joins a travelling circus as their vet”

One of the 'Stars' of the movie is Rosie the Elephant who for some reason can only understand Polish commands but they don't explain why

I would only make two comments. (1) I don’t understand the relevance of the film title. (2) In my opinion Reese Withspoon is totally miscast.

The Boys' Celebration of Life

A trib­ute to unique­ly in­spir­ing Holo­caust sur­vivors by their fam­i­lies. "The Boys" were chil­dren who out­lived the Death Camps and March­es and then em­braced life and the bonds of sur­vival ev­er-since.
 

This film tells a life-af­firm­ing sto­ry, that is tru­ly in­cred­i­ble, of jubilation and gen­eros­i­ty of spir­it.

Israeli conductor Barenboim holds Gaza 'peace concert'

"Israeli conductor Daniel Barenboim is due to lead an orchestra of European musicians in a "peace concert" in Gaza. It is the first-ever performance in the Palestinian territory by an international classical ensemble. Israel forbids its civilian citizens from travelling to Gaza, so Barenboim is entering via Egypt, along with 25 musicians. For years, Daniel Barenboim has used music to try to promote peace between Israel and the Palestinians."

Hitler had Jewish, African ancestry (DNA test)

As a follow-up from the news that Barack Obama has proven that he was born in the United States, it’s now been revealed that Hitler had Jewish and African ancestry.

As I have 100% faith in the media, if it’s in  the newspapers and on TV then it must be true.
