East German secret police. They recruited thousands of civilians to enforce the socialist state.
"....The Ministry for State Security ( Stasi ). The Ministry for State Security was the secret police force, secret intelligence service and organ for criminal investigations ... ".

They had almost 90,000 paid employees, but used twice that many civilians to spy. East Germany was a dark place before the wall came down and Germany became unified.
 
On Netflix I watched a movie (made for Netflix, I think) called St. Agatha. Takes place in the 50's. A pregnant young girl was living in a convent/school for unwed teen moms. Nothing special. Just nuns being nuns, treating the girls poorly etc.
Moved on to re-watch one of my favorites, Mission to Mars, with Gary Sinese, Don Cheedle. Love that one.

Netflix has some good stuff!
 
I suffered through "Interstellar"; that's nearly 3 hours I'll never get back. Even Matthew McConaughey couldn't save it.

Is that about Lucille Ball? @Gemma

Oh no. It's a thriller-action movie. "When a boyfriend tricks Lucy (Scarlett Johansson) into delivering a briefcase to a supposed business contact, the once-carefree student is abducted by thugs who intend to turn her into a drug mule. She is surgically implanted with a package containing a powerful chemical, but it leaks into her system, giving her superhuman abilities, including telekinesis and telepathy. With her former captors in pursuit, Lucy seeks out a neurologist (Morgan Freeman), who she hopes will be able to help her."

I liked it. It kept my attention.

Sounds like a good one. I'd like to see that!😃
 
Last Saturday Hubby and I went to a picture theatre and watched a new Australian movie about a battle in the Vietnam war. It was titled Danger Close - The Battle of Long Tan

It was a very powerful movie and really brought home the awfulness of the war experience.
I recommend it for any Aussies and for other veterans of the Asian War.
 
They’ve made a movie for us! Really, quite good: “Mr. Holmes”

A 93y/o Sherlock Holmes has placed himself in exile for 35 years due to the

inability to solve his last case. Now he, with a failing memory attempts to

remember the facts, which is difficult with his moderate-to-severe memoir loss.

As all Sherlock movies are it is convoluted-with Peter O’Tool as Sherlock, what more can you ask.

I’ve been an O’Tool fan since “Lord Jim”. His performance is excellent, even to those not Sherlock Holmes fans.

Other: As you know, the features of our face can continued to grow, as other’s recede.


O’Tool’s nose, well take a gander, chin a bit receded: you know, he looks like some of us.

I’m becoming a Pinocchio…
Honest folks, it's a movie for us.
