Ancient Relic

Ancient Relic
Ancient Relic (2002)

IMDB rating: 5.20

Plot: STEFFEN VOGT, aged around 25, is helping out at a German archeological excavation in Israel when he finds a 2,000-year-old skeleton holding the instructions for a video camera dating from the year 2003. The bones also show traces of the present day. His theory of a time-traveler who made a video of Jesus is laughed at by everyone, however, including SHARON, an attractive Israeli woman he adores. Although no one appears to believe him, his find certainly seems to have generated interest: Steffen is attacked shortly afterwards in his hotel room by strange men; then he discovers that the German embassy and the secret service are after him; and when his friend DAN is murdered, he goes into hiding. His only true ally is Sharon. Steffen’s theory seems to be correct: financier and time-travel expert KAUN turns up at the excavations in person and carries out several elaborate subterranean measurements at the Wailing Wall # where he believes the camera has been hidden. He is assisted by the head of the excavation, Professor WILFORT. Steffen suspects that Kaun is one of the people hunting for him and remains in hiding. Assisted by Sharon and her jealous boyfriend YEHOSHUA, he manages to steal a letter from the time traveler that contains coded instructions on how to find the video. Before the three of them can set off again in search of the video, Steffen is abducted and tortured. His tormentors # who later turn out to be members of a secret Vatican order led by the unscrupulous SCARFARO # try to blackmail the whereabouts of the Jesus video out of him and then destroy the tape before it gets shown to the public. Steffen manages to escape from them. With Sharon at his side and the murderous churchmen at his heels, he starts a frantic, action-packed hunt for the video. Eventually Steffen and Sharon find what they are looking for, inside an old monastery. Scarfaro has tracked them down, however, and the video falls into his hands. In front of everyone’s astonished gaze he then plays the film # and Steffen suddenly realizes that the biggest adventure of his life has only just begun….

The Old House

"I dare you, go inside!", Ben shouted, " I bet you wouldn’t last one minute in that relic pile of junk"! "Just watch me", Jill replied. Jill and her brother always fought, but never about somthing as spooky as the "hauted house", as they called it. The old, abandoned house flourished with mould and moss and was left alone for a very long time. "I’ll be waiting right here Jill. bring me back someting from inside the haunted house for me. It will prove that you went in"! Determined and never giving up on a dare, Jill looked up at her brother, "okay. give me a few minutes". She walked up the ancient driveway, out of her brothers sight. once she arrived at the door step, she was a bit scared and lonley. She peeked through the aperture in the door handle before entering, just to make shore everything seemed safe. Ben had always told her the sprit of a ghostly bard roamed the house and still wrote evil poems, curses and spells. He told her that people who spent to much time in the hauted house, would fall victim of his maledictions. "I’ll be quick", jill uttered under her breath. She opened the door and to her vicissitude, spotted somthing she could return to her brother. She grabbed a shiny locket she had found on the floor. Freaked out, Jill exited as fast as she could. Once she got to the bottom of the driveway, she saw that her brother had been waiting for her, with no sign of solicitude. "Wow Jill, I can’t belive you went in!" Ben was marvled. "what did you get"? Jill presented him the locket and together, they opened it and read the etched message: " The one to commit any form of depredation upon this locket shall recive bad luck". "That’s an odd thing to incribe", Jill said "i think i’ll return it in that case…wait here and i’ll throw it back in the haunted house. I dont want to upset the evil bard’s sprit". So Jill, a bit more at ease now, turned around and headed back up the driveway. Her brother said goodbye to her for the last time…she was never seen again after that.

Why is "The Speckled Band" such a popular story?
Arthur Conan Doyle thinks that "The Speckled Band" is the best story of Sherlock Holmes.. I don’t quite get why. x3


i read it while i was in school for english- i could not understand why either- it is not exactly the most thrilling of the holmes stories to me anyway but i believe it may have something to do with the victorians having fascination with exotic creatures with it being a snake and all it may have being considered quite scary and modernly it is because it is a book that can be called as suitable for children

Classic Movie Comedy Poll: When's the last time you saw these from start to finish?
I realize the term is subjective, but for MY question here are ten "Classic" movie comedies off the top of my head. They are not necessarily my Top Ten, but several would be contenders if I were to make such a list.

When did you last watch, from start to finish:
1) Young Frankenstein
2) Animal House
3) Monty Python and the Holy Grail
4) The Big Lebowski
5) Bringing Up Baby
6) M*A*S*H
7) Airplane
8) My Favorite Year
9) Annie Hall
10) A Night at the Opera

Thanks for taking the time to answer.


1) Young Frankenstein - About a month ago. It’s one of my all time favorites. "Walk this way…." he heh heh

2) Animal House: Probably….1978 or 1979. Not high on my personal list of movies but I understand & respect your opinion.

3) Monty Python and the Holy Grail: OMG - great movie but I haven’t seen it in probably five years or more. I don’t have it in my collection unfortunately. "Tis but a scratch…." LOL.

4) The Big Lebowski - Never. I’m guessing that I should, huh?

5) Bringing Up Baby - Many *many* years ago & I only really remember that I liked it & it made me laugh.

6) M*A*S*H - a couple years. Another movie I want to add to my collection.

7) Airplane - last summer. Funny, funny movie.

8) My Favorite Year - probably the 90s. Peter O’Toole….memory says I enjoyed it too but can’t really recall much more.

9) Annie Hall - One of the few Woody Allen movies I super liked. Last seen about the mid-80s.

10) A Night at the Opera - I’ve never seen this classic & probably should.

wow… i’ve never watched ANY of them in my life.
Kickazzcool | Oct 15, 2009


Oh, none of those. I don’t watch movies much. I did watch Panic Room recently starring Jodi Foster. She’s a really good actress, especially in "The Silence of the Lambs".

Airplane about a year ago, but I’m always quoting it.

Do the Star Trek aliens dislike gay people? The aliens always attack San Francisco!?
Just check out the:

The probe in Star Trek IV The Voyage Home.

The Founders infiltrating San Francisco in Star Trek Deep Space Nine Episodes "Homefront" and "Paradise Lost"

The dominion attack in Star Trek Deep Space Nine episode "The Changing Face of Evil"

Nero’s attack on San Francisco in the new Star Trek movie.


Based on what I’ve seen in Haight-Asbury… the San Fran "pride" parades…. the lunatic asylum known as the University at Berkley….

I think it’s safe to say the Aliens HAVE already landed. If there are attacks from outer space in San Fran…. it’s probably just a continuation of some inter-galactic feud.

With some luck, a ray gun will wipe the "left coast" clean and let people with normally functioning brains move back into the area.

I can see Russia from my house.
Sarah Palin | May 28, 2009


What does this have to do with politics?

Oh, and to answer your question, starfleet command is in San Fran, which is why it gets attacked.
Logic | May 28, 2009


Lol, now that you mention it, they must have something against San Fran. Or maybe they are taking out their revenge on us for " Starship Troopers", and they just thought they would start in Frisco.
booman17 | May 28, 2009


I think the Capital of the United Federation of Planets is in San Francisco.
Terran 3 | May 28, 2009


San Francisco is home to Starfleet. The writers put Starfleet in San Francisco because it is obvious to them that the city represents the future, whereas cities like New York, D.C., and Dallas are on a long, slow decline to oblivion.
I don't understand the hate | May 28, 2009


If you knew your Star Trek trivia, you’d know that the United Federation of Planets was started there, and it’s also the headquarters of Star Fleet.
tonalc2 | May 28, 2009


If you knew anything about the series you would that Federation headquarters are based in San Francisco.

How can I get over my fear of The Candyman and Bloody Mary. I cant look in mirrors cause of this.?


haha. I’ve had these kind of fears too. For years I was afraid to walk around in the dark (I kept thinking I was seeing the girl from The Exorcist) and I refused to go to sleep so I would keep myself up, not healthy! (it was because of Krueger)

I eventually brought myself into believing that they weren’t real and couldn’t do anything which is true. So keep saying to yourself there’s no way it will ever come true, and then look into a mirror ((:

Its not just mirrors you have to be careful of!!!!!! the reflection in your window, on your knife and fork, on the computer screen! RUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!
tom g | Nov 01, 2009


just look in a mirror and try the things just onse and you’ll realize it’s not true.
Maria | Nov 01, 2009


there is no real way to get over this fear, the best options i can think of would be between seeing a therapist (doesn’t mean your crazy) or try and overcome your fear by facing it, look in mirrors for as long as it takes, and make someone stand with you if need be.
