In my opinion this year great movies starts with.

- Star trek
- Push
- Watchmen
- Race to Witch Mountain 2009 (great family movie btw)
- Terminator —Salvation??
- TF-2
- Caprica (which explain the battle star Galactica way back to beginning)

On the horror Side..

- Outpost
- Red sands
- The objective

If you've ever survived after watching The Descent--- 2005 no other movies will ever scares you no matter how bloody they are. But —dead wood?? is ok compare to the other craps out there so far.

We like "Knowing" all the way up until the end and it just went way overboard with the alien stuff. I was really disappointed because it was so good at the beginning. Oh well.

Knowing displayed the alternative solution to our existence even you can not believe it you can deny it neither.

According to the archaeological evidences :

?? 25,000,000 years ago — ancestor apes
?? 14,000,000 years ago — manlike apes (hominids)
?? 2,000,000 years ago — Australopithecus and first use of stone tools and weapons
?? 1,000,000 years ago — Homo erectus, large hairy creatures
?? 300,000 years ago — Neanderthals, well-organized, cavedwelling tribes
?? 275,000 years ago — Male Homo sapiens gene pool emerges in Africa (Cro-Magnon man, indistinguishable from us today)
?? 225,000 years ago — Female Homo sapiens gene pool emerges in Africa
?? 175,000 years ago — First humans appear in Mesopotamia from Africa, and Caucasian races begin to diverge from African origins

And then...

?? 11,000 years ago — Following major planetary catastrophe, divergent strains of cereal crops and dairy animals suddenly appear (now N. Iraq)
?? 5,000 years ago — Sudden and widespread appearance of agriculture, animal husbandry, metallurgy, mathematics, systems of writing and advanced astronomy.

According to evolutionary experts, humanity is an impossibility. Our line sprang out of nowhere only 200,000 years ago, when it should have taken many millions of years. And we went from stone tools to a moon landing and computers in just 5,000 years!

How is that..?

This is gonna sound strange but I'm reading a book that reminds me of something Q would read 😛 When I bought it I kinda giggled at myself but *shrug* it's actually very interesting.

It's called "Cover ups" The 100 most disturbing conspiracies of all time by Jon E. Lewis.

It's got aliens, assasinations.... that kind of thing. The book discusses what could/did happened.
It made me thing of Qbone. 🙂
