UFO Sightings in 2017

UFO Sightings in 2017 WASHINGTON — In the $600 billion annual Defense Department budgets, the $22 million spent on the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program was almost impossible to find.  Which was how the Pentagon wanted it. For years, the program investigated reports of unidentified flying objects, according to Defense Department officials, interviews with program participants and records obtained by The New York Times. It was run by a military intelligence official, Luis Elizondo, on the fifth floor of the Pentagon’s C Ring, deep within the building’s maze. The Defense Department has never before acknowledged the existence of the program, which it says it shut down in 2012. But its backers say that, while the Pentagon ended funding for the effort at that time, the program remains in existence. For the past five years, they say, officials with the program have continued to investigate episodes brought to them by service members, while also carrying out their other

Goldbuster Movie Review

Goldbuster Movie Review The Hong Kong comedy star plays a small-time crook posing as a ghostbuster who ends up in a battle between tenants and developers in this comedy spoof A venerable comedy actress who occasionally hints at a touch of social conscience beneath the slapstick antics of her loud but likeable characters, Sandra Ng Kwan-yue finally follows her husband Peter Chan Ho-sun’s footsteps into making her directing debut with this horror comedy, produced by Chan and based on an original story by Ng and popular writer Ong Yi-hing. Before Hong Kong film fans begin to sneer at the wholesale ‘mainlandisation’ of Ng’s quirky tale, which takes place in an unidentified Chinese city and features a cast predominantly from China (its two Hong Kong characters are, somewhat unnecessarily, introduced as being “from Hong Kong”), it is worth noting that Goldbuster does tackle a favourite subject of Hongkongers. With several notable comedians from China – as well as Hong Kong’s F

In Between Movie Review

In Between Movie Review Watching “In Between,” about a trio of young Palestinian women! Watching “In Between,” about a trio of young Palestinian women in Tel Aviv trying to shape their own destinies despite being part of a conservative society entrenched in patriarchy, I realized the sisterhood created by Arab-Israeli filmmaker Maysaloun Hamoud, making her feature debut, was partly indebted to Hollywood’s gaggle-of-girls genre. Think “Three Coins in the Fountain,” “Where the Boys Are,“ “Sex and the City” and even hints of “9 to 5” and “Thelma and Louise.” Yes, there are English subtitles onscreen, but the actions of these roommates easily translate into a familiar pattern, one that I have always found to be irresistible: Three or four single women with distinctive personalities—an extrovert, a goody-goody, an arty type, etc.—share their intertwined lives. Usually, one suffers a tragic incident of sorts that causes their bond to grow stronger. "In Between Movie Image&quo

Director: David F. Sandberg Genre(s): Mystery, Thriller, Horror Rating: R Runtime: 109 min Movie Review: It used to be a pretty reliable rule of moviedom that sequels to inferior horror films were even more worthless than the original. After all, how do you build on nothing? Last year’s “Ouija: Origin of Evil” was widely and correctly considered superior to the dull original, and 2017 repeats that shocking trick with “Annabelle
