Time for the last 5 films seen list. Complete with mini-reviews and clips! Hooray!
1) Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street (1979)
Forget the Burton version of this Sondheim classic musical, that is NOTHING compared to the original stage version. The songs are better, the acting is better, the comedy is better, everything is better. Out of all the versions of Sweeney Todd none have quite come close to this particular version and George Hearn and Angela Lansbury are the best Todd/Lovett you'll ever see. Highly HIGHLY recommended!
2) The Capture Of Bigfoot (1979)
The 1970s was one of the most prolific decades for the incredibly underrated Bigfoot film. Sure the films were bad, and this is no exception, but they were a lot of fun too. This is one of the better ones complete with an evil villain with a maniacal laugh, a car chase, lots of snow and some sentiment thrown in there too.

The Unsolved Mystery Of Number Stations
Everyone knows about Bigfoot, UFOs, Ghosts and Nessie, but one of the most interesting and creepy lesser-known mysteries has to be, what is often termed as, Number Stations. Unlike the previously mentioned mysteries, the Number Stations phenomena is very real indeed - full of unquestionable evidence. These stations DO exist. Anyone, in possession of a shortwave radio, can tune into one of the many Number Stations at any time.
In short, a Number Station broadcasts a series of continuous and endless numbers occasionally broken up by strange sounds or eerie music. The numbers seem to be read by men, women and even children voices in a bizarre and monotonous tone. Despite questioning governments etc about these broadcasts no one has received a reply. Odd.
But why do they exist?
One of the most widely agreed upon theories to explain this peculiar question is the possibility that it is linked to espionage; spies! Perhaps it's a code that only those with the knowledge to crack it understand. But if this is the case, this begs the question; what messages are they sending for it to be such a secret? Warfare? Or something more sinister? Perhaps they're signals to another world? Another dimension? Time traveling? A strange countdown to some terrible event?
Who knows?
Take a listen for yourself by visiting The Conet Project's site. They're incredibly haunting and creepy.

200 Crop Circles Appear in Wiltshire
A jumbo sized crop circle has appeared in a Wiltshire field, a county known to be one of the UK's biggest UFO hot spots. (Why the hell an alien would want to visit Wiltshire, I don't know) The formation consists off 200 circles of various sizes. Is this just an elaborate hoax (even if that was soooo 90s)? Or are some hooded aliens graffiting our countryside?
Article from The Metro
Personally I very much doubt it's a group of hoaxers with nothing better to do. If you ask me, it's aliens. The circles are signs. Signs warning us off our destruction. Hello apocalypse!
Speaking of crop circles, here's a fascinating video on this mystery...
According to that video, perhaps crop circles are indeed a sign of the end of times. Is it just a coincidence that the crop circle (4:58 on the video) specifically mentions the 30Th June? What day is it today? The 30Th of June. Spooky.
