String theory: THE RED VIOLIN(1998)

Every now and then I manage to sit down in my recliner and watch a truly beautiful movie, a film that looks and sounds simply marvelous. The Red Violin(1998), a Canadian drama directed by Francois Girard, is a masterfully crafted tale about a very special violin created in the year 1681 and this instrument's journey from the past to present. Presented in flashback sequences, the "red violin" passes from one owner to another through the centuries and set amidst various geographic locations including Italy, England, China and finally to present day Montreal(Canada) where it sits on display in a prestigious auction house.This movie is available on both DVD and Blu Ray. I am definitely going to buy the Blu Ray for this engaging film!

Donny Winter, founder of the kaiju themed internet message board KAIJU GALAXY, has a YouTube "channel" and posted a recent video featuring his thoughts on the recently released (and much talked about) trailer for the Legendary Pictures film GODZILLA(2014). Donny, who goes by the username "EternalMothra" at KAIJU GALAXY, is a super nice guy and a great fan of kaiju, especially Godzilla and Mothra.

The heat is on: THE DAY THE EARTH CAUGHT FIRE(1961)

One of the best things I ever did as a person who watched movies almost solely based on monsters and special effects was to expand my proverbial movie watching horizons. It took me a while and it wasn't until I was in my forties that I decided to give sci-fi and horror movies without the top heavy special effects a try. I'm sure glad I did! One movie that I find very entertaining despite its lack of big budget special effects is 1961's The Day The Earth Caught Fire, directed by Val Guest. This film has a great cast including Edward Judd, Janet Munro and Leo McKern.

In The Day The Earth Caught Fire(1961) a determined reporter encounters a vast government cover up while learning that atomic bomb testing by the United States and Soviet Union at the Earth's poles has altered the axis of the planet with the Earth now moving towards the sun! The Earth will literally be scorched by our sun unless world leaders and the scientific community can get the planet back on its normal axis. Ultimately a solution is reached by scientists: detonate more atomic bombs to move the Earth back to a normal rotation around the sun. Will this plan work? Or is Earth doomed to obliteration as it moves closer to the sun! (no other spoilers)

This film is all about the story and is a gripping, suspenseful tale of how the impending end of our planet effects a small group of people struggling to come to terms with the potential calamity.

The Day The Earth Caught Fire has no Blu Ray release (I wish it did) but can be purchased on DVD from Amazon by clicking the link: THE DAY THE EARTH CAUGHT FIRE on DVD

Armand's Rancho Del Cielo: Government Lays Groundwork To Confiscate Your 401k...

I managed to catch this important article posted by Armand Vaquer on his blog this morning. How important? For anyone with a 401K retirement plan or IRA(Individual Retirement Account), you may find yours taken away in the future by a broke and bankrupt U.S. federal government. How can this happen? Click the below link to see how our cash strapped government, always looking to generate revenue, may target IRA's and 401K plans of American workers. I would imagine Democrats in Congress and our current President would like nothing more than getting their hands on the hard earned retirement savings of all tax paying Americans.

Every now and then I like to give a "shout out" for an internet message board.
