Learn About A Pivotal Gallipoli Campaign Of World War I (Documentary Trailer)
July 28, 2017
Netflix is the place to experience history. Not all the way sure of what draws me to war epics and documentaries, but this trailer is making me think it is time for me to catch another. Want to learn more about Gallipoli, too? Got the Netlfix link at the end.
An epic reconstruction of the battle that changed nations forever: a film of spectacular visual sweep and great emotional power.
It all began as a demonstration of strength against the Ottoman Empire by Great Britain and her allies. It became one of the largest landing operations in history and one of the bloodiest and most controversial battles of the First World War. The campaign affected Turkey, Australia and New Zealand profoundly.

Technology: British Inventor Presents His Take On The ‘Iron Man’ Flight Suit (Video)
May 24, 2017
Okay, Robert Downey Jr. studied Elon Musk to capture his essence and channel it to bring ‘Iron Man’ to life on the big screen. Fact. But what about the flying armor suit tech? Is that ever gonna come to life? Could be.
A British inventor has created his very own human propulsion jet suit – he’s being dubbed the real-life ‘Iron Man.’
– Sky News
Yes, Richard Browning has done a lot of falling down to get up to this point. And he admits in the video there is a way to go before humans will be using this for anything like day-to-day human transport. But this video is SO much like that scene when Tony Stark was building the Mark II suit in ‘Iron Man.’ After the jump, you’ll see that clip and more video on the prototype jet suit.

Meet Britain’s Jason Coghlan: A Criminal Turned Criminal Attorney (Documentary)
May 31, 2016
Better Call Saul Goodman… Or, maybe since this is gangster stuff, we should go with Tom Hagen – consigliere and legal counsel for the Corleone Family (The Godfather)… Real-life crime and punishment and reform and organized crime. Whew! Law and Order on steroids with no chill. The whole story brought to you as only VICE can.
This is the story of one of Britain’s most notorious reformed criminals, Jason Coghlan, who spent 16 years behind bars before he found an even more dangerous and effective pastime: studying the law. VICE gained intimate access to Jason’s life over two years, witnessing the rise of his legal firm, which explicitly caters to the gangsters of the Costa Del Sol in Spain. However, the echoes of his old life are never far away and a gang feud in Jason’s native Manchester threatens to unravel his new amicable existence.
