"I ate his Liver with Some Fava Beans and a Nice Chianti!!"

Frightened or excited (because you know this quote)? Well settle down..... Sometimes when my brain stops paying attention to my workload, i.e. when I need to be entertained and its 2:00 am in the morning, I look through the IMDB database for high rated movies that I have not yet seen, learn about them and plan on watching them in a near future.

Following this logic, I stumbled upon the  film "Silence of the Lambs" which depicts interactions between an FBI agent Clarice Sterling and a famous human eating, ex-psychiatrist and sociopath Dr. Hannibal Lecter (You've probably heard of Hannibal the Cannibal), the title of the post is a quote from the movie.

I was surprised to learn that he is a fictional character from a series of novels. I always figured from the notoriety of the name that Hannibal was a real person that existed in the past, turns out this movie made it famous. I was even more intrigued when the part of the Doctor was played by English actor Anthony Hopkins whose breathtaking performance in Instinct scarred me for life.


So I watched the film, liked it so much that I found and watched the sequel Hannibal right away and yes my next Halloween costume will be the #1 villain in the AFI's 100 Years...100 Heroes and Villains list: Dr. HANNIBAL LECTER.

P.S: From a post on geek Love to a post about a Halloween type horror story.... My life is messed up!!! :)

The Confession: Discussing Religious Morals with Jack Bauer

We have all been fans of 24 right? The innovative show (in terms of story line) where Jack Bauer the secret agent solves terrorist and conspiracy plots in 24 hours, not hesitating to use the most drastic techniques (extensive torture and even shooting his team and family members) to uncover the truth? Wait you don't know what I am talking about? Shame on you :).

Well, Kiefer Sutherland, the actor who played the charismatic role in the show has done it again; This time in a smaller scale, through a 10-episode web series that he created: The Confession. The plot is rather simple: a professional killer (played by Kiefer) and a priest engage in the only truthful conversation that can happen, in my opinion, between such characters, i.e. the meaning of good and evil, all in the secrecy of a confessional.

I absolutely love the format of this series. It is web-only (mainly on hulu.com, unfortunately available only in the US, deals are signed for internatinal distribution, I just don't know what sites), 7-10 minutes per episode and really fast-paced.

Good Job on this one Kiefer, can't wait for more of your projects or more web-only specials like this one. See the trailer below:
