Rain Rain

The rain is coming down pretty hard outside, that's right this is now a weather blog too! God, creation, the world, and horror movies are the heavy topics of today's post. Do not fret though today's discussion also involves Morgan Freeman so it's all good.

Recently on the Discovery Channel I watched one of the most interesting specials I've seen in a long time. The mini series is called Through the Wormhole and it covers topics such as aliens, dark matter, black holes, whether or not there is a creator, and other really cool topics. The whole series is narrated by Morgan Freeman, which is awesome, and feels more like a fun college class than a boring lecture. The first episode I saw was one that dealt with ideas about a creator of our world. I won't give too much away but there were some insanely radical ideas in this episode such as our world being a simulation and prophets having hallucinations. The whole series is very well done and feels much more refreshing than other specials I've seen on the Discovery Channel. If you're into space, things bigger than just you, or just in the mood for some deep talks about interesting topics go check it out.

Since its raining out I figured I would recommend a movie for the dark and dreary weather. Recently I've come to the realization that the majority of mainstream horror movies are just awful. There are few exceptions and it has become more of a gore-fest than anything else in present horror movies. So for today's rainy day feature go on Netflix, it's only $8.95 a month for 1 DVD at a time and instant streaming, and instant stream Nosferatu. To be honest I have never seen the movie either and plan on putting up a second post reviewing the movie after I watch it. But to set it up, it is a 1922 silent German horror film about Count Dracula that is said to be one of the scariest Dracula films around. If nothing else it's different from the stuff that is normally on so why not, right? Go check it out and let me know what you think, and check back later for my own thoughts on the movie.
