Today, Abuna Pauolos, leader of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, backed off on the much-anticipated announcement about the Ark of the Covenant being in Ethiopian hands, which he claims to have seen.
No evidence or announcement was made public today even though world has been expecting the unveiling of the Ark.
Many still believe that Ethiopia may actually have the real Ark, but have been pressured by Governments and other religious leaders to keep it safe and hidden.
Bob Cornuke, considered by many to be a real life Indiana Jones, believes that Ethiopia "either ha(s) the Ark of the Covenant or they have a replica that they have believed to be the Ark of the Covenant for 2,000 years."

It's an exciting story either way, and one to keep track of over the coming weeks.

On Friday June 26Th, 2009, the patriarch of the Orthodox Church of Ethiopia claims he will unveil to the world the Ark of the Covenant which, according to Biblical lore, contains the Ten Commandments.
If true, this will be one of the most exciting and important archaeological finds in history of our world. While some are claiming this is a political hoax, others are outraged that the Ethiopian Patriarch has decided to show this relic that has apparently been in Ethiopian hands for 2,000 years.
Whatever the case may be, this is truly exciting news!
I made this list to avoid the cliche and traditional songs that grow tiring each year during the Halloween season; Monster Mash, Ghostbusters, Thriller. Be it they are classics, but to hear them at every party function is a nightmare. So, here's a new list of songs from some popular and not so popularly known bands that will get your blood curdling.
I finally got around to seeing this much awaited sequel. I mean prequel? A remake? It seems to be more of a mesh of the first three films with an unclear time frame with new scares and a very familiar (and tired) storyline. When a group of teenagers end up missing near Crystal Lake. Everyone blames it on the legend of Jason, but no one seems to do anything about it. Even the police stay away from the infamous camp. The movie really begins when a stranger comes to town, Clay Miller played by Jared Padelecki best known for his role in Supernatural. Clay goes searching for his missing sister Whitney Miller, played by Amanda Righetti from the Mentalist TV series after she ends up missing for six months.
The story quickly turns into a group of college students led by a bullying rich kid named Nolan (Ryan Hansen) and his group has a party out at dad's lodge, which just happens to be right off the banks of Crystal Lake. Now, why did his dad choose to build off the banks of the lake? It just adds more to the plot convenience and weak story. Also the big speech that Officer Bracke gives to Clay was more expositional to those not familiar with Jason's lore, than moving the story along. And Jason's mother issues would drag this review on forever with more plot convenience than one can imagine. Okay, I'll skip the complaints and move to Jason Voorhees played by Derek Meers. His performance backed by every special effect of every stab, gouge, decapitation, chase and incineration made this movie worth watching. Ignoring the fact that Clay Miller finds evidence that Jason exists making the local police look like idiots. I would recommend renting this over paying top dollar again at the movie theater.
Fox News has reported a story about a prank that hackers in Austin, Texas and Collinsville, Illinois have played on the local community and the morning commuters.
Apparently, an electronic road sign which is used primarily to give drivers traffic updates was hacked in the early morning hours of Monday January 19th, 2009.
Drivers used to getting information on road closures or traffic jams instead had something else to deal with on this particular morning...Zombies!
I don't know about you, but I think after seeing this I would have been taking the back roads!
As the new year begins, so does a whole slew of new and renewed horror movies. The list is too long to mention, so I will break it down one season at a time starting with the best of the Spring season. I for one am looking forward to what seems to be a resurgence of the genre with remakes of Friday the 13th to Suspiria. This list only scratches the surface of what I think will be a great year in horror history.
First off is David S. Goyer's J-horror styled film, The Unborn, best known for penning the Blade franchise and The Dark Knight. The Unborn is about Casey Beldon, Odette Yustman (Cloverfield), fights for her life against a spirit possessing her, and she seeks Rabbi Sendak played by Gary Oldman to complete an exorcism to remove it.
My Bloody Valentine in 3-D, based on the 1981 title but with a twist. It's in 3-D and pick axes. Miners with pick axes. Some theaters don't offer the 3-D novelty, but with digital technology today, I recommend it. MBV stars Jensen Ackles from television's Supernatural and Jaime King,The Spirit, My bloody Valentine is about Tom who returns to his hometown on the tenth anniversary of the Valentine's Day massacre and he becomes the primary suspect to the murders.
The Uninvited I think this is the most interesting horror film of all this Spring. Why? Yes, it's a remake based on a Korean film about a young girl Anna, who recovers at the hospital after the death of her mother and returns home to discover her father is engaged to her mother's former nurse. Anna is soon warned by her mother's ghost regarding the former nurse's ill intentions. Visually, this film looks like a thriller more than a horror giving it a chance to step out of the J-horror genre stylistically, and not become just another cliche with familiar scares and nothing to really be afraid of.
Underworld: Rise of the Lycans Another installment of the successful Star Wars sized horror franchise continues, and it's also a prequel. Again with the conflict of vampires and werewolves, in the Dark Ages, a young Lycan named Lucian becomes the leader of the werewolves to fight against Viktor, the leader of the vampires. This is an origin story to the series directed by special effects (creature designer) guru Patrick Tatopoulos, ID4, Silent Hill and the long awaited Trick'r Treat.
Finally, the return of horror legend Jason Vorhees in Friday the 13th about a group of teenagers and young adults find a run down Camp Crystal Lake, and a machete wielding killer dressed in a hockey mask, played by Derek Mears. All signs point to a continuation of the series and not a remake which will hopefully bring life to the dormant franchise. Directed by Marcus Nispel, director of one of the better remakes of Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
