DAILY CALL SHEET: APRIL 20, 2018

Land of the Minotaur

Land of the Minotaur (1976)  No actual minotaurs, but Donald Pleasence as a priest and Peter Cushing as a kooky cultist almost make up for it. Brian Eno does the score!?! TIL: Apparently priests dislike bad driving almost as much as they do the devil, so mind your road etiquette.

Women's Prison Massacre

Your daily dose of culture courtesy of Women's Prison Massacre (1983) - "Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is." - C. S. Lewis

Sister Marie-Agnès Valois at 98

And finally, since I’ve been playing a lot of Call of Duty: WWII with my son, this story from the BBC caught my eye. Sister Agnès-Marie Valois, an Augustinian nun who earned the nickname The Angel of Dieppe (as well as a few medals) for her care for the wounded on the beaches of France, has passed away at the age of 103. Nuns are cool. Grant your daughter eternal rest, O Lord, and may your light shine on her forever.
