THE TRIANGLE : THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE :

Bryan Singer and Dean Devlin present THE TRIANGLE. 





A two DVD set, this is a science fiction "event" with an all star cast that filled my evening with adventure. I settled back on the sofa with some hot chocolate and a big bowl of popcorn and watched without getting up - except to put in the second DVD. 

The special effects were outstanding and the proposition - that time and space are different enough in the Bermuda Triangle that old Spanish ships from hundreds of years ago, World War II fighter planes, and modern ships and planes are all out there somewhere, in some sort of time whirl, highly interesting. 

Tied in with a navy experiment intended to make ships invisible, there is a lot of science fact here that is moved towards science fiction.

In the story a Green Peace whaling vessel in a conflict with a whaler when all are lost or disappeared except for one person who is haunted by the memories.  The trouble is, the group hired by the owner of a huge fleet of cargo ships who has lost multimillion dollar vessels in the Bermuda Triangle, which includes a couple scientists as well as a journalist and a psychic, are, like the surviving Green Peace person, are having visions, hallucinations, memories or projections that are confusing them. 

Featuring Eric Stoltz, Catherine Bell, Lou Diamond Phillips, Bruce Davidson, Micheal Rodgers, Lisa Brenner, Sam Neill, and many other actors, there's a human story along with the fast action.

JAPAN STILL HUNTS WHALES and the INTERNATIONAL WHALING COMMISSION FAILS

JAPAN STILL HUNTS, as does ICELAND and NORWAY... and this breaking news story from Yahoo news explains....

By ARTHUR MAX, Associated Press Writer

"The breakdown put diplomatic efforts on ice for at least a year, raised the possibility that South Korea might join the whaling nations and raised questions about the global drive to prevent the extinction of the most endangered whale species."
