Leben Fur Leben - Maximilian Kolbe (DVD)

Advantages: Acting, Directing, Screenplay
Disadvantages: Questionable subject matter

...I had witness what it was I had just witnessed. The film is not preachy, doesn?t presume to judge its characters or try convincing or persuading you in anyway. The filmmakers seen to want you to take everything, quite literally, at face value, to always keep in mind that the title of the movie is not called, Fur, for no reason. Definitely shocking and certainly not for the timid or faint of heart; if you are a cynic, better to just bypass this DVD at the rental store.... Read review

Advantages: Crunching guitars, incredible vocals/lyrics, no other band like 'em

Hubby has a quick look at Argos and finds ?Fur Real friends Kitten? retailing at £18.99 there are three different colours shown, Ginger, grey and black and white and they all look kind of cute and fluffy.. As I had some money left on an Argos card purchased from the good old provident a good while before we thought why not? It might just do the trick. So the next morning mum and daughter jump on the bus into town and bring home Beth?s very own Ginger (well its more of a caramel brown but Beth calls him Ginger) Kitten with big green eyes and a rather po-faced look. Ginger was packaged in a big pink box made to look like a cat carrying... Read review
