 Vitus Movie Review
Fredi M. Murer's Vitus may not be a fairy tale, as Murer himself is so quick to point out, but it certainly has the feel of childhood fantasy.
Vitus' mother (a stellar Julika Jenkins) has a job as well but quickly dismisses it to become her sons muse, manager and guide, much to the young boy's chagrin.
Vitus doesn't neglect or even dismiss his talent altogether, he just wants to understand the normalcy of every-day childhood before he is thrown into the hobgob of "genius" culture.

The flying motif is linked to Vitus' ability to "soar" at the piano keyboard -- which he likes to play faster and louder, as if it were a video game (or a flight simulator).
As the body grows, and the mind develops, parts of the personality are torn down and remodeled, with new structures rising from the rubble of the old ones.
As he and his school pal ride their bikes around and around a concrete square evidently designed for the purposes of "play," Vitus hears a piano in his head while the other kid listens to modern pop through headphones.

 St. Vitus review
The basic concept behind St. Vitus is that all the health has been removed from each level, replaced instead with two "health stations" at opposite ends of the map.
While the mod is server-side only (always a plus), this is a bit defeated by the fact that the one current St. Vitus server is running a rotation of third-party DM maps (available here) which you'll need to download before you can play.
All in all, St. Vitus isn't a revolutionary leap forward by any means, but it's a good example of how a few small changes can put a fresh new spin on things.

 Bestiaria Latina: Legenda - June 15: Vitus - patron saint of late sleepers
Vitus is one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers (as is Saint Erasmus, whose feast day is on June 2).
Vitus is probably most famous today in the term Saint Vitus's Dance, but Saint Vitus himself did not dance (in fact, his father tries to use musicians and dancing girls to lure the boy away from his devotions).
As a result, Vitus was sometimes depicted with a rooster, and became associated with the rooster's crow at dawn and rising early.

 St. Vitus Mosaic in Prague (Conservation at the Getty)
Located on the south facade of St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague Castle, The Last Judgment is considered the most important exterior monumental medieval mosaic north of the Alps.
As part of the GCI-OP project, various methods of mosaic cleaning were researched and the Department of Material Science and Engineering, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), assisted in the development of a system of coatings for the protection of the mosaic surface after cleaning that would prevent the reforming of the corrosion layer.
The St. Vitus mosaic encompasses 84 square meters (904 square feet) and depicts the Last Judgment in triptych form.

A 12-year-old piano prodigy struggles with his parents, his talent and his future in solid family drama "Vitus." A natural for kidfests, pic is a fine example of old-fashioned story-telling and also will dance wherever detailed character development and leisurely-paced drama are appreciated.
By the age of 12, Vitus (now played by real-life prodigy Teo Gheorghiu) is clearly uncomfortable about being different and deals with this by being precocious.
Thus, "Vitus" can feel overstuffed with ideas about family dynamics, the burden of talent and the risks of capitalism, but for auds willing to submit to its leisurely pace, the effect is enveloping.

I believe that Saint Vitus got a musical vasectomy when original vocalist Scott Reagers left the band; his unique voice added charisma and life to even the slowest and sludgiest songs of SV's earlier albums.
With that in mind, it's not at all surprising that Scott Reagers returned in 1994 for "Die Healing", which was much better than all of the previous Weinrich/Linderson-era albums combined, but it turned out to be their final album, and they disbanded for good in 1995.
If Saint Vitus' "Born Too Late" LP is the best album of all time, then their "Mournful Cries" LP is the second best.

Vitus, who is six years of age, is a very unusual boy.
Vitus’ increasingly lonely wunderkind existence pressurises him to such an extent that, at 12, he decides there is only one way out of his predicament: he leaps from the balcony on grandfather’s hang glider.
Now, at last, he is free to live his young life — a life that turns out to be a double life, in the true sense of the term, and soon sets some rather remarkable developments in motion.
