Watches Earth films too!
We watch 3 silent horror movies from the German Expressionism era of films.
1. The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920)
In a dark, twisted visual style, a story unfolds of a doctor coming into town for the fair to show his pet homunculus. Coincidentally, murders happen around town. Are the two related? Or is more going on with the narrative? Let's rewatch this classic!
2. Nosferatu (1922)
A retelling of Brahm Stoker's Dracula novel, we watch one of the first retellings of the novel but with a humorous twist since most of the title cards got mixed up and had Pappey Doge try to translate the old title cards to the new ones, so who knows what changes he's made.
3. The Golem (1920)
Set in the Jewish ghetto of medieval Prague, the film begins with Rabbi Loew reading the stars and warns that disaster for his people will come, in which the Holy Roman Emperor does sign a degree declaring the Jews must leave the city before the new moon. Rabbi Loew devises ways of defending his people, one of which is a Golem. Then the problems begin...

Game Description:
DESCRIPTION
Assassin's Creed Rogue is a 2014 action-adventure game developed by Ubisoft Sofia and published by Ubisoft. The plot is set during a fictional history of real-world events in the North Atlantic, and follows the millennia-old struggle between the Assassin Brotherhood, who fight to preserve peace and free will, and the Templar Order, who desire peace through control. The framing story is set during the 21st century and depicts the player as an employee of Abstergo Industries (a company used as a front by the modern-day Templars), who uncovers various secrets about the Assassin-Templar conflict while attempting to fix the company's servers. The main plot is set before and during the French and Indian War from 1752 to 1760, and follows Shay Patrick Cormac, an Irish American privateer and ...
Howdy all!
Just wanted to share my thoughts on Dune 2. To give a brief background: I have never read the books and had seen only the David Lynch movie cut and the Alan Smithee cut that someone posted on YouTube (a longer cut using unused footage upgraded as best as the fans behind it could piece it together than many fans of the 1984 herald as the much better version). Alan Smithee is a pseudonym that directors use when they do not want to be associated with a project, and David Lynch had such a terrible experience making the 1984 film, he wants have nothing to do with any other cuts of the film and move away from it, despite it still having his name as director in the original cut.
I truly enjoyed the Dune movie made by Canadian director Denis Villeneuve which came out in 2021. I thought the acting was solid, visually stunning, and a great world full of intriguing politics almost similar to what Game of Thrones had introduced along with interesting ideas how that world operated. Comparing it ...
As every man (and doge) has to do in their lifetime, I watched the John Wick movie series recently. I had never seen any of the movies before somehow, and just watched them since the first 3 were available on Netflix recently.
CHAPTER 1:
This was a great start to the series, and kept to mostly realistic elements compared to the other movies. It's a great tale of vengeance and demonstrates how John Wick (Keanu Reeves) uses anger and pain to his advantage. I enjoyed each character introduced, and glad to see Ian McShane in the series. After watching the Deadwood series on HBO, I can never get enough Ian McShane on screen, no matter what role he's in. The movie ends on a good note where Wick has to decide if he wants to try to live or not.
CHAPTER 2
If the first movie was good, this one was great. The stakes get higher as Wick travels to Rome to fulfill a marker (some blood bond between two people that the other person must fulfill for the marker to be completed) and explains the workings of how the network ...
