The Signal: Totally Tense Cerebral Sci-Fi!
If anyone out there likes their sci-fi with a side of brains and heart like I do then look no further! “The Signal” delivers and then some! Not to be mistaken for the zombie type “The Signal” flick from 2007, which was actually pretty decent. This is a completely different movie that only recently came out on dvd, Itunes ect. I’ve seen quite a bit of dumb ass sci-fi making it’s way to the masses over the years, so it’s great to see movies that actually challenge the brain like “Moon”, “Looper” or “The Europa Report” to name a few. The Signal, starring Brenton Thwaites and Laurence Fishburne is quite an adventure that will have you scratching your head in confusion and wonder all the way to the films incredibly tense climax.
The films premise starts out simple enough,On a road trip, Nic and two friends are drawn to an isolated area by a computer hacker, who’s been toying with them online all school year. Upon investigating an old seemingly abandoned house where the traced the hacker’s signal, one of them disappears. When everything suddenly goes dark, Nic regains consciousness – only to find himself alone & confused, in an odd medical facility. To give away anything would be a crime, but this one is indeed filled with some great twists and turns that will have you guessing all the way.
The Signal has top notch acting, incredible special effects and a ton of thrills that will have you on the edge of your seat. I’m excited to check out what else the film’s director William Eubank has done and what he’s got planned next. He’s certainly a director to watch in the future. I’m hoping that we can get more serious sci-fi elements into the next installments of something like Star Trek on the big screen, as even with the old episodes from the 1960’s they often had some really great plots that really made you think. An element that is often missing from modern sci-fi, instead we often end up with sci-fi for people with A.D.D.! So I say waste no time and check this one out right away if you want something truly unique, original and totally exciting!!
Strange Happenings this week…
So there have been a couple strange things that have happened this week around the world, the first being the amazing Norwegian Vortex that was seen in the early hours of the morning on Dec 9th. This UFO in the sky hasn’t been explained yet but the government is calling it the result of a possible unsuccessful missle launch. I’m calling some B.S. on that one. How many unsuccessful launches have there been? How many times have people seen something like this in the sky?! Pretty amazing if you ask me. It looks like a portal to another dimension. Hopefully this is the start of some serious questioning! I am in the midst of getting more info on this right now but check this out if you haven’t seen it already…
Beer, Cheese and the Supernatural!
Who says Wisconsin is just all cheese and beer? Well it is, but you know what else it has to offer? Haunted treasures! I myself grew up in Wisconsin and my family has a cottage there up in the north woods in a small quaint city called Three lakes. There are many strange stories that can be told about that area but one that remains most famous is about forty five minutes north of Three Lakes on road an old railway used to run through. There you can view the ghostly “The Paulding Light” (also reffered to as the Dog Meadows Light) and for years this has been a mystery!
