Comparing 'Falling Angel' and 'Angel Heart' Review: A Haunting Tale
Falling Angel was written by William Hjortsberg and the 1987 film adaptation was directed by Alan Parker. The story follows Harry Angel (Mickey Rourke), a down-on-his-luck private investigator hired by a mysterious client, Louis Cyphre (Robert De Niro), to track down a missing person. Set in the gritty backdrop of 1950s New York City, Angel's investigation takes him through a dark and disturbing journey, filled with macabre discoveries and unsettling encounters. As he delves deeper into the case, he realizes that there is more to it than meets the eye, leading to a shocking and sinister revelation. Angel Heart is known for its atmospheric tension, gripping performances, and a compelling narrative that blends elements of noir, mystery, and supernatural horror, leaving viewers both enthralled and disturbed.

My tattoo is costing me my life
I was a history student and I was assigned to write a term paper on the Minoan civilisation. The Minoans were a Bronze Age civilizations from Crete and neighbouring islands. While I was researching for my term paper I came across a picture of what is thought to be a Minoan temple. There I've noticed a remarkably well preserved inscription. It was in Linear-A script. In the middle it had the Linear-A symbol which resembles a cross, or a lower case "t" and around it, in a spiral pattern other Minoan "letters". It looked like snail made of incredibly ancient symbols. Linear-A is the writing system used to write the Minoan language. We currently know next to nothing about either. No Linear-A text has ever been deciphered.

One Step Beyond
Cult Films and Midnight Movies : "From High Art to Low Trash" Vol 1 By Tom Baker I've been swept up lately in a few obscure old television shows. Well, two obscure, and one less so, but both dated. One, "One Step Beyond," almost qualifies as the OTHER "Twilight Zone," with its handsome, dapper, gentlemanly host, John Newland (who was also director), giving a similar take on opening monologues as the iconic Rod Serling. However, whereas "Zone" focused on metaphorical, allegorical sci-fi and fantasy (and sometimes horror) themes, the stories culled for the ninety-five or so episodes of "One Step Beyond" (which may qualify, right beside "In Search Of" with Leonard Nimoy, as my favorite show) were taken from the actual old annals of the unexplained, the famous psychic stories of yesteryear, some updated versions of hoary old world Victorian chestnuts.
