Inside the Mind of Leonardo Da Vinci

History Films' Da Vinci film is a great look at the character of Da Vinci,
played by ,
the 12th Dr
of Dr Who fame,
in 3D!

Seriously though, this film got me thinking as to how Peter Capaldi got neglected for the Academy Award this year for playing this role so well, in Locke-like monologues.
Normally when you're given a tale of Da Vinci, its asexual, pre-school telling of the horrible things done to him by the church. This film is the best antithesis of that, not to mention 2D vs 3D.
This is a new approach and mockumentary, with 3D effects, visual effects that really stimulate and educate.
It has very good quality images rivaling that of Captain America/Spartacus intro credits. It's a film where the HD works and the education and artistic value is quite comprehendable. Peter Capaldi is a great actor with great research, and everybody friggin hates Moffat for some odd reason

Call of Duty Advanced Warfare features wonderful new locales

We fucking fight in North Korea.
Fuck.
Make the damn game be about human rights violations in a Tell Tale like setting or a parody of the Producers where you make an Interview-like film.
Fighting another Middle Eastern person after losing your arm in a war in North Korea that no one in the US gives a shit about.
Then they get a little bit more creative by having fighting in places that aren't commonly associated with terrorism, before they go to new Baghadad.

DNA experimentation screw ups. Do they fight a monster or something? Probably some zombie mod bullshit I'm guessing.

The game does nothing different that other games such as Halo have done way better, and even that's not considered a classic.

Albeit, it is a nice homage to Forrest Gump's version of Back to the Future Part II. Thank you, Robert Zemeckis!
