  Prison Break ends/Supernatural rulz/Lost/Shield/LFC etc...

  Well, been a while since my last blog. I guess special occasions deserve one and Prison Break four seasons run ending is one.

  PRISON BREAK
  Prison Break series finale was very moving really. I thought it was very sad and emotional but yet fitting and believable. Most characters had a satisfactory end. They didn't go with a totally soap opera happy ending, which is something I really appreciated. My review will be up soon (if anyone care). But in short, I loved seeing Kellerman back..Mahone, Bagwell and the others having a good ending as well the sad and yet satisfactory ending to the Michael/Sara/Linc story. Some people hate it and consider it a slap to the face..but oh well. Thank you writers, crew, actors and everyone else for those 4 seasons. Season 4 was defintely not as good as the first 3 but still very worth it. Shame to see the treatment the show got from Fox in its final run.

  

  Of course, this is not the very last of Prison Break we've seen. Still the "Final Break" coming soon. Supposed to be a straight to DVD release, but a channel in UK will air it first..good then.

  

  SUPERNATURAL

  Just got into the show. It`s such a fun watch. Not as creepy as I was hoping but highly entertaining and hilarious at times. Season 1 was pretty good but things just keeps getting better. I`m 3 episodes into season 2 and the show went from good to great...the premiere was amazing.

  Lost

  Lost had yet another amazing season. The finale was terrific. Very probably the best show on TV today and among the best ever.

  

  The shield

  A word on shield. Watched the finale a couple of weeks ago. It was very depressing but perfect. Loved it ....will miss Vic and Co. But who knows, maybe we`ll get a movie someday. Not that I`m for it tho.

  

  The others

  Going to watch the second season of Damages soon...hoping it`s as good as the first one. Heard a lot on Fringe too. I`ve only watched 9 eps and to be honest, it still hasn`t really impressed me...good but not great. So maybe the remaining episodes will be better (for me).

  How I met your mother had an overall OK season. Not over yet but it is nowhere near the first great 3 seasons. Still has some great episodes tho. Got into 30 Rock recently and it`s kinda better right now.

  Still 2 months of doing nothing till university starts...so more to enjoy.

  Liverpool Football Club

  Those damn @#$%%^&*() Mancs won it again and equalled our 18 times record....absolutely horrible sight. But it was a positive season for us and I know we are as good as Manutd can be. Bring on the next season (for sure this time lol)...you`ll never walk alone.

  Hell ...blogs are fun

  Schindler's List + Other News.

  Schindler's List

  I know I`m extremely late. Bought the Dvd only yesterday but was still not really in eager to watch it, that black and white stuff kinda make me feel off and thought I would not like it. But on Anbis` recommendation, I watched it and hell HOW WRONG WAS I ABOUT THIS MOVIE. It`s not only excellent but now simply on the top of my all time favorite movies list...a masterpiece from beginning to end.
  The black and white effect is a genius strike, brings so much effect and realism to the movie. The story is intense, captivating, very emotional (yes Anke, I cried too ) , with so much energy and more importantly, it was based on real fact . Schindler is an absolute legend.

  The acting, writing and directing is simply amazing. Definitely my all time fave movie now.

  

  And....

  I`ve also rewatched the Downfall (Untergang, Der ) on the way, and I don`t know to what extend this movie is accurate but find it very insightfull and it`s still one of my fave. Bruno Ganz, hats off!! Probably the best acting performance I`ve seen in a movie. (Following pic is to scare off Anbis )

  

  My top 4 favorite Movies (in order of preference) are now:

  1.Schindler`s List.

  2.Downfall

  3.Saving Private Ryan.

  4.V For Vendetta. (The movie with the richest dialogues I`ve seen)

  Band of Brothers

  "You know why they volunteered? Because they knew that the man in the foxhole next to them would be the best, not some draftee who's going to get them killed." Richard D. Winters

  

  I`ve always been passionated with everything related to war (don`t ask why), specially World Wars. My all time favorite movies would be Saving Private Ryan and Downfall, two pure masterpieces. Besides Tom Hanks is one of my all time favorite actor. So when Hanks and Spielberg join to make a mini series about World War 2, I`m in. I can`t believe I`ve missed that for so long. Finally got to see it and I`m fully satisfied.

  The pilot was pretty boring but when things took off, it was great. It`s very realistic but we can easily get lost in the plot as it can get very ambigous. There`s some memorable moments but 3 of them striked me the most:

  1. Bastogne

  Limited ammos, short of food, literally no medical supplies , surrounded and all this in terrible weather conditions..they still stood up and survived...that`s courage.

  

  2. Concentration camps.

  The most distubing thing I`ve seen in my freaking life. I was left speechless...I`ve cried. To even imagine that this really happened, it makes me shivers and gives me goosebumps big time.

  

  3. The final speech

  Not so memorable for most probably. But the final speech of the German officer to his men as the war ends really striked me. What he said about war and the special bond of soldiers is so true...This is exactly the same speech Easy company`s leader would give to his men...this for me exposes the sad reality of war. No matter what, there is no bad or good sides. The soldiers do what they have to do. Two men of different sides could be best friends under different circumtances. Different armies but soldiers all the same. (Stole that one from Prison Break )

  

  Many of these heroes (from both sides) are still alive, I would love to the shake the hand of one of them one day.
