Mortuary (2005)
why Tobe why ??!!
As a horror fan i know a lot of stuff about horror directors, casts, latest movies, dates, show times...etc ....i really don't get this...why such a director as Tobe hopper, creator of cults such as Poltergeist, Eaten alive and of course The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (TCM for all fans) makes a crap movie such as Mortuary. cast is filthy, cgi even more,plot...(what ?? there is no plot)...ideas, skills,techniques...Nothing. What happened to Tobe ! Tobe was one of my favorites altogether with Romero, Raimi, Craven, etc..etc Mortuary doesn't look at all like a movie made by someone whose horror background is perfect.....

Velikiy voin Albanii Skanderbeg (1953)
proud of our national hero
It's a shame that no Albanian made a comment about our hero...
Gjergj Kastrioti Skenderbeu (1405 - January 17 1468), better known as Skanderbeg, is the most prominent figure in the history of Albania. He is also known as the Dragon of Albania and is the national hero of the Albanians. He is remembered for his struggle against the Ottoman Empire, through the work of his first biographer, Marin Barleti.
The movie definitely needs a remake or something like this because it was shot in '53 and most of cast is Russian or Romanian or Belgian as far as i remember. (this is due to strong communist friendship with them) The movie quality is poor, sound also. (even though it has a magnificent score performed by the national radio television orchestra)
Biography
Gjergj Kastrioti Skenderbeu (1405 - January 17 1468), better known as Skanderbeg, is the most prominent figure in the history of Albania. He is also known as the Dragon of Albania[1] and is the national hero of Albanians. He is remembered for his struggle against the Ottoman Empire, through the work of his first biographer, Marin Barleti.
In English, his names have variously been spelled: George, Gjergj, Giorgio; Castriota, Kastrioti, Castrioti, Castriottis, Kastriotes, Castriot, Kastriot; Skanderbeg, Scanderbeg, Skenderbeg, Skanderbeu, or Scander-Begh.
His father was a lord of the Kastriotis family. Gjon Kastrioti[5], descended from an ancient family from Mat, and controlled a principality including Mat, Krujë, Mirditë and Dibër.[6]. Voisava, Skanderbeg's mother, was from the Tribalda family[5], a princess[7] from Polog valley[8]. Although he fought in the service of the Ottoman Empire, Skanderbeg soon switched sides and fought against the Ottoman Empire until the time of his death.
