I Like Diving | a Review

I just turned the last page of Tom Eadie’s ‘I Like Diving’. The 1929 original edition was a Christmas gift from a colleague, so I’m a bit ashamed that it’s taken this long to get to – it proved to be a page turner and I wish I had read it a long time ago.…

Sirius | a review

I managed to push the envelope this weekend and stayed up til midnight to watch the documentary film ‘Sirius’. The film follows Dr. Stephen Greer’s perhaps evangelical pursuits to expose and disclose the truth about UFO’s and extra-terrestrials. While the subject is often taken as ‘hoakie’ by the masses, I’ve always been intrigued, even to…

Trapped Under the Sea | a review

With my recent travel schedules I’ve managed to do some much needed catch up  on my reading list, and just turned the last page of Neil Swidey’s ‘Trapped Under the Sea’. The book recounts the tragic event involving the loss of two divers during the Deer Island outfall tunnel project in Boston several years ago.…

Zeitgeist: the Movie | a review and discussion

On the very rarely found opportunity to kick back and lay on the couch on a  Friday night, like many, I’ll watch a movie. While browsing Netflix for some time, the independent film ‘Zeitgeist’ kept maneuvering to the top of my various lists, so I gave it a go. Zeitgeist is a film by Peter…

Communion | a review

I finally picked up Author Whitley Strieber’s ‘Communion’, and could not put it down. I’ve walked by the book dozens of times in bookstores, at airports, and have seen the dark glossy eyes on the cover peering deep within me, almost hauntingly, to the point where I was somewhat afraid of the read. I must…

Hart emphasizes throughout the text that the sudden impulse towards civilization across the globe some 6000 years ago needed some organized and intelligent precursor to introduce the…

Atlantis and 2012 | a review

Frank Joseph’s ‘Atlantis and 2012’ takes us on a deepened journey into Atlantean theory as it applies to the 2012 controversy. Much of the discussion builds on the Cayce readings, though ties in historical and archaeological evidence from early civilization, namely the Maya though also Native North American and other relatively advanced early cultures. The book…

Born to Run | a review

Christopher McDougall’s ‘Born to Run’ takes us back to our roots, where we may have in fact been born to run – out of necessity. McDougall takes us on a journey alongside the Tarahumara, a community living the Mexican mountainside that has very much remained off the grid and lives what we would consider a primitive…

Sanctum | a review

A NY Daily News piece reminded me to review the movie Sanctum here on ‘a New Life’. The news piece describes the recent death of two University of Florida students while caving in Georgia. Absolutely tragic, and a sharp reminder of just how unforgiving caving, and cave diving is. I saw James Cameron’s Sanctum this…
