'MORTAL KOMBAT' Test Footage

Someone's pitching a live-action 'Mortal Kombat' reboot concept to WB in the hopes of creating a good R-rated franchise! It seems to be taking a more 'realistic' approach to the material, but it doesn't necessarily rule out the more fantastical elements. Looks like they've got good fight coreographers on board and people who are not afraid to take the film seriously! Let's hope for the best!

Michelangelo's secret message in the Sistine Chapel?

Unlike the Da Vinci Code, here's something that just may have some legitimacy! Some neurosurgeons who are examining the paintings of the Sistine Chapel in Rome seem to believe that Michelangelo may have hidden anatomical imagery within his work, for example a juxtaposition of the human brain hidden beneath an image of God. Are these findings conclusive? Or just a case of seeing something that isn't there? You can learn more at this link.



Anyone interested in books about the old masters like Michelangelo, Da Vinci, Raphael etc. can enquire about various ones dedicated to their works and others at our store!
