Let The Bats Fly
The Devil Bat- a nice classic black and white horror film that starred Bela Lugosi as the villian. Which he is excellent and perfect as. Bela Lugosi perfects the villain role. I love him as a actor. Anways back to The Devil Bat.

The plot: Dr. Paul Carruthers (Bela Lugosi) is frustrated because he thinks his employers, Mary Heath (Suzanne Kaaren) and Henry Morton (Guy Usher), have cheated him out of the company's profits. He decides to get revenge by altering bats to grow twice their normal size and training them to attack when they smell a perfume of his own making. He mixes the perfume into a lotion, which he offers as a gift to Mary and Henry. When they turn up dead, a newspaper reporter (Dave O'Brien) decides to investigate.

Its a classic fun entertaining horror movie with bats attacking people and their master is Bela Lugosi so that is a plus.

Dynamic game (2 more)
Lots of interactions between players and the spacetime
Excellent Trek-references!
Could do with a few more characters to play (1 more)
No expansions (that I'm aware of)
Change the Star Trek Chronoverse!
Great mini game, quick to play and simple to learn.

Layout the Timeline, as seen in Trek (from Primordial Ooze to the Antitime Anomaly in "All Good Things...."). You are one of the entities from Trek who has a vested interest in changing the timeline; perhaps the Borg stopping First Contact, or the Cardassians stopping the Emissary...). You will play cards which help you, hinder your opponent(s), and/or change time. Perhaps you make Edith Keller survive her brush with death - what ripples through time will this have? Does it support or stop your Victory Condition?

Each game takes no more than half an hour or so, and it's pretty replayable (4 different difficulties, with half a dozen characters in each).

Plus it's in a tiny box, so takes up hardly any space!

Movie Favorite Watch

"Every aspect of the movie is excellent. There isn’t one wrong move — from the script, to the acting, to the music. It’s such a beautiful human story about an individual struggle set against the corrupt unions screwing over the dock workers. So, you have this social background for the situation, and then you have the personal human journey of the brother of one of these union mobsters, who has to sort of turn on his own people. Marlon Brando pretty much rocked the cinema with this new style of acting, and you can never go back to Cary Grant. As wonderful as Cary Grant is, Marlon Brando changed the game. Karl Malden has one of the greatest movie monologues of all time as the priest in the docks, encouraging everyone to take a stand. He was like the first Norma Rae. I have the soundtrack on my iPod. I love great movie soundtracks, and I consider that one of those."
