Better Than Ever

Face tells Sosa that the truth is worth fighting for... and then we see
that justice comes in a four-pack, carrying heavy artillery and smoking
cigars. I guess that's pretty heavy stuff for a popcorn-stuffer.

Just as someone who is deprived of sight discovers
their other senses more acutely awakened, silent films return the
focus to the visual medium. And this is, after all, what "moving pictures" were meant to capture. With this in mind, we would like to invite
you to join our own Fritz Nosferatu in a journey to survey many of the great films of the
silent era. Over the coming weeks we will discuss The Phantom of the Opera (1925), The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920), The Cat and the Canary (1939), Metropolis (1927), The Show (1927), The Birth of a Nation (1915), Broken Blossoms (1919) and, perhaps, a few others. We will begin, naturally, with Nosferatu which was made in 1922. The curtain is rising, so we must hurry.
 Nosferatu:
The Principle of Universality
The vampire is undergoing somewhat of a resurrection in modern culture. The Twilight
series has done much to encourage this renaissance, although many find
it fairly disturbing that Edward is a vampire older than 100 years and
still hangs around high schools. Many vampire aficionados are completely unaware of a much older film. Predating Dracula by approximately nine years is FW Murnau's silent film Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens or Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror. Freely
adapted from Bram Stoker's book, the movie was hindered by perpetual
legal challenges from Stoker's widow Florence Stoker. Unable to attain filming rights to Dracula, the producers of Nosferatu hoped to prevail by changing names and by omitting several of the novel's lesser characters. Count Dracula was rechristened Count Orlok. Despite these changes, the narrative of the film, based on a screenplay by Henrik Galeen, still mirrored Dracula.
The focus here is on the film itself. And what a film it is, both as a gripping tale of horror and as a first rate example of expressionistic film-making...

 Shutter Island
Scorsese's Latest Psych Trip
Nate Watts
"Which would be worse? To live as a monster, or to die as a good man?"
Scorsese doesn't let you off his island until he's completely done with
you. Once finished, you'll have to replay it to catch every little
detail.
