![]() Apocalypse - Caught In the Eye of the Storm $7.98 If you like the book of Revelation and wonder what christians will go through before christs second coming, see this movie, it has an awesome ending and beggining and middle! Cloud ten has done it again! ![]() Apocalypse Now - The Complete Dossier (Two-Disc Special Collector's Edition) $19.99 The is the best pick for old Apocalypse Now fans, whether they be new ones, old ones, or are simply rediscovering this classic historical fictional account of the Vietnam War. It's all here: the original 1979 version, the 2001 redux, commentary by Director Francis Ford Coppola, special features, scene selection, multi-languge subtitles, etc. Interestingly, the best scene (in my opinion) was not included in the original version. This is called the "French Plantation." This scene is so good that I must have watched it a dozen times. Apparently, it was edited out of the 1979 original version, for unclear reasons, but possibly just to limit the sheer length of this film. It is indeed a long film, but every minute is well done and fascinating. The French Plantation scene reappears in the 2001 redux version. "The Complete Dossier" is a good buy just for this scene alone. It explores many of the controversial issues surrounding whether or not the US should have been involved in the Vietnam War, the role of the Viet Cong,the Russians, the North Vietnamese, the South Vietnamese, and, most importantly, the Americans. Great quotations from the movie: "charging murder here is like giving out speeding tickets at the Indianpolis 200." "I love the smell of napalm in the morning: it smells like....gasoline...it smells like..........victory!" "Horror and moral terror are our friends: if they aren't, they are certainly enemies to be feared." "Charlie don't surf." "There are two of you: one that loves, and one that kills." At times horrifying. At times funny. Always thought provoking and interesting. One cannot understand the Vietnam War is one has not seen this movie. Buy it. Watch it -- more than once. You won't be disappointed. ![]() The Apocalypse Collection $27.98 This is exactly what I ordered and I watched them and loved them. This seller gives you what you want when you want it!!! ![]() Apocalypse 2012: An Investigation into Civilization's End $14.95 I commend the author for having attempted to score market points and ride the coat tails of the latest apocalyptic wave. Sadly, the evidence isn't buttressed with fact, but hinges on ambiguous theories and speculation. Moreover, the hoax book postulates the author's previous 'Gaia theory,' which examines the Earth as more than a big ball of iron spinning and creating its own magnetic waves; the Gaia theory doesn't collude with his 2012 theory (spoiler alert), and in some cases, undermines it. I believe this author is tapping into a mass marketing schemata of fear. I will steer clear of agitpropists such as this; instead, I'll focus on conservation and ecological respect. |
