Knowing, apocalyptic film

Having seen Knowing on my satellite yesterday, I'd like to quickly review it - an apocalyptic movie in absolute terms.
The way he comes to "know" is very well done. In fact the first half was definately my favorite part of the movie.
I liked the idea that they used the aliens that met biblical characters thousands of years ago. That was a theory I had read up on a while ago myself.
The movie could have gone without that aspect, but in the end, they were the only ones offering any hope at all.


All in all I enjoyed it. 8 out of 10 from me.

"I know that a single action can put in motion a series of repercussions. Should the action be positive, the repercussions are reqarding, but when that action is negative, so too are the events to follow. A single action can change you forever. Sometimes, if the deed is large enough, if the intent evil enough, the results can be disastrous." - Joel

A work of apocalyptic fiction that is akin to Lord of the Flies and The Road.

In this powerful debut novel, Michael Poeltl delivers an unforgettable portrait of survival against the odds...

The Road - The Movie

If you read the book, you know what we're in for, if you watch the trailer http://www.popoholic.com/video/the-road.html, I'm not sure we're getting the book. The Road was a beautifully written story about surviving the apocalypse. The book gives nothing away as to how the end came, but the movie seems to be eluding (from what the trailer is telling us) that it is a natural disaster that brings us down.
Have a look at the trailer for The Road and tell me if you think the movie will be The Road "Lite".
I think so... But I'm going to see it anyway.

Hadron Collider and black holes

The buzz is on, the particle collider has been turned on and particles are zooming around the Hadron Collider as I write this blog. There are plenty of informed people out there talking about this right now, there are an equal amount of uninformed people ranting about it as well. The whole idea that this collider may create a black hole on earth has been the big discussion.

To learn more for yourself on how the population is reacting (and get a feeling for whether or not the collider will bring about the end of the world) you can read postings from all walks of life here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/main.jhtml?xml=/opinion/2008/09/10/dl1003.xml

The new sun cycle may be what the Mayan were talking about

The suns cycles have been very important to humanity, and have been tracked by all races, none more so then the Mayan. With the Mayan long count calender coming to an end, we look to the sun to find clues as to whether it's changing cycle is part of their prediction.
Visit the following link http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2006/15aug_backwards.htm to make up your own mind about the suns effect on the planet.

More information on this possible direction, when talking about the end of the world, or the apocalypse, can be found here: http://www.greatdreams.com/2012.htm. This website offers all sorts of information pertaining to the 2012 phenomenon we'll be facing in the next three years.

It's an exciting time, what with the solar system aligning with the galactic centre and the sun moving into its 24th cycle (recorded). Lots of things might happen, nothing might happen, but if the sun has a stormy cycle lots of things can happen.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see!
