    Super book about a truly historic event.
    This year (2014) is the 70th anniversary of D-Day, otherwise known as Operation Overlord, the greatest sea borne invasion in history, and destined to remain so, possibly forever. This 160 page book is a great reminder of the heroism of so many of those guys who set out from ports around here in the south of England bound for the French coast seventy years ago, so many of whom never returned. The book is published by Usborne Publishing who specialise in educational titles and books for the young, and I guess this book is aimed at older children, but it is in no way just for them. Even for seasoned D-Day experts there is plenty here to keep the reader interested. The book includes the personal stories of brave highly decorated individuals, British, American, and Canadian, who went beyond the call the duty to ensure that the invasion was ultimately a success. Also included is a number of interesting illustrations by Ian McNee that help to bring the stories so much to life, plus a useful small glossary at the end to keep you up to speed with all the forces jargon prevalent at the time. For example do you know what PIAT’s, BIGOT’s and BAR’s are? And they are nothing to do with after hours drinks either! The glossary certainly helps with that. The book is well written, easy to read, educational, and just plain interesting and hard to put down and I can’t recommend it enough. If you want an easy starter book that will tell you and your friends and colleagues what the D-Day landings were all about then “True Stories of D-Day” is certainly the book for you.

    Belgian/French Comic Books That Never Seem to Date.
    This children’s comic annual published in 1979 never seems to date. Fully in French of course, it is an ideal way for people of all ages to improve their French without even noticing it. Beautifully illustrated too and fully in colour. 48 pages of fun. These Gaston books seem to become more collectable with age, and are thoroughly recommended.

    This is a Brilliant Film!
    Pan’s Labyrinth – A Movie by Guillermo del Toro. Pan’s Labyrinth is set in Spain in 1944. The Civil War is long over; only a few pesky guerrillas remain to be mopped up in the wooded hills. Ofelia, an 11-year-old girl, accompanies her heavily pregnant mother to a remote army camp high up in the woods, who is joining her army captain of a husband. He is not Ofelia’s father, as she is keen to point out to anyone who cares to listen. The girl and the man take an instant dislike to one another – as often happens in such circumstances. It’s a difficult pregnancy and the mother grows weaker and bedridden, while Ofelia frets and falls under the spell of a flying nymph she believes to be a fairy who introduces her to Pan, a fantastical creature who challenges the girl, who he believes to be a princess, to carry out three daring tasks. So begins the incredible Pan’s Labyrinth, directed by the visionary Director, Guillermo del Toro. This is a Spanish movie with Mexican roots and is fully in Spanish too, so you will need to make sure that the subtitles are switched on if you don’t speak Spanish, both on the DVD and your remote control, but don’t for a second let that put you off. There isn’t heaps of dialogue and what there is, is snappy, easy to follow, and crystal clear to read, and there is still time to study the faces to look into their eyes and see what they are really thinking and feeling. If you haven’t watched a subtitled movie before give it a try, and give it a chance. You will not be disappointed. This movie is part war film, part fantasy, part thriller, part magic, part adult fairy tale, and that makes it different to anything else. It is not a film for children and indeed comes with a 15 certificate. I have seen it described as a fairy tale for adults and that is about right. All the threads of the story run happily side-by-side and the pace is unrelenting. The movie grabs you right from the start and the Captain soon demonstrates that he is a sadistic killer (Kill them all!) as the girl’s worst fears prove to be true. Sometimes a film is released boasting super dialogue, great cinematography, superb music, wonderful casting, (every single member is perfectly cast, and very memorable too), and most importantly contains a fabulous story. When a film encapsulates all those attributes it could be fairly described as a masterpiece. Pan’s Labyrinth is precisely that. If you haven’t yet seen it make sure you get yourself a copy. It is one of those pictures like Shawshank that can be watched time and again, and a film that one rarely tires of. It was first released in Britain in 2006 and garnered many awards including Best Film Not in the English language, as well as three BAFTA awards, and every award it won was fully merited. It can be bought here for a ridiculously small amount of money and would make a great present too. It runs for just shy of 2 hours and includes a cracking ending as you might expect, where Ofelia… but of course I couldn’t possibly tell you that, could I? Is it one of the best films released in the 21st century? Yes it is. Watch and make up your own mind. Enjoy! David Carter 2012.
