1. I have.
I like good Holocaust movies. Nice to see they still make those. We must never forget.

13. The Green Mile is incredible.
Alongside the "Shawshank Redemption" Stephen King has a couple of the best prison movies ever made.

14. Well, drink your juice!
It really helps me.. I think.. I'm sure it isn't the beer intake.

I guess the biggest thing going on of late here is that I went in to work this morning with full intention to quit. I even took my family pics home yesterday. I was reminded by a few dear friends how much I love what I do... and balked.

I guess that's good news lol

:)

6. Is that a short film?
I think I remember seeing it on a DVD of Oscar nominated shorts.

12. I saw part of it and that part was at the end.
So I cannot discuss it without giving away a spoiler or two. I went back and watched part of the rest of the movie, but having seen the end of it I could not bear to watch it all and that is funny because usually it does not bother me to watch the end first. In fact sometimes I prefer watching the last first. I would recommend the movie to you though, just don't watch it in the order I did. I also like "The Time of Drunken Horses". Another movie about children in war times, but this one is in Iran.

"The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" is 95 min. long so it is not a short film.
