The Secret is a straight-to-DVD supernatural soap opera starring David Duchovny and Lili Taylor and Olivia Thirlby. It's kind of a paranormal Freaky Friday - Duchovny plays an optometrist whose wife and daughter are killed in an traffic accident, but the daughter then returns to life possessed by the spirit and personality of her mother.

Event Horizon, or Watchers over Manhattan
Say, have you heard about the Event Horizon open-air mass ritual art display?
... 27 naked men, all anatomically correct, have been bolted to rooftops and ledges as part of installation Event Horizon. But concerned locals have been calling 911 because they believed the statues, by British artist Antony Gormley, are real people on the verge of jumping off the buildings.

Intervention Theory and the Sixth Extinction
I'm not going to speak as to the veracity of the statistics or the science presented here, or comment on whatever political agenda is at work.
Environmentalism is like religion and politics- it's been grossly distorted and exploited by rich and powerful interest groups across the spectrum, particularly now with the climate change agenda and its attendant controversies.*

Atlantis Rising, Part 2: Sirens from Sirius
Before we start looking at a movie made a quarter-century ago, it's important to establish exactly why the film is still relevant. It comes down to this; Cocoon is centered on two memes that have become increasing prominent on this blog - and in the culture at large - ancient astronauts and the Sirens.

King Tut: Sacred Icon of the Restoration Revelation

Live Action Role Play or Live Action Ritual Programming?
If I were to create a new religion, I'd do so as a performance art exercise. Congregants would be told from the start that this was all fiction, it was all art. And believe me; I'd go whole hog with the liturgy. The smells, the bells, the chants, the vestments- all of that great ritualism that the Church stole from the Mystery religions.

More Dark Knight Darkness
I don't know how I didn't hear about this before - Christopher Nolan's brother is wanted on murder charges:
It's the sort of story that puts Christian Bale's un-Batman-like rant into perspective -- Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan's brother may be a murderer. Matthew Francis Nolan, 40, is wanted in Costa Rica for the kidnapping and murder of a Florida businessman.

Nightmares in Camelot: Archons are Always Lurking
One of the great and dangerous myths of America is that the "New World" was settled by brave and devout pilgrims, yearning to breathe free and practice their faith. The fact is that the Puritans (or "Separatists," as they called themselves) were little more than indentured servants to European corporate interests.
