'Disclosure Day' review



 By Gavin Wainwright


Disclosure Day definitely is an action, a drama and a chase film like The Minority Report, but not as much of a Science Fiction concept.

 Spielberg's latest offer asks more a moral dilemna: Should Society at large be disclosed the truth of our place in the Universe?

The question regards hard evidence of the existence of extra- terrestrial life.

Is Ignorance to the cosmic truth actually an orchestrated bliss that should continue beyond this modern age? 

Disclosure Day most closely resembles Steven's Minority Report when one looks at his former movies. This similarity is regarding a protagonist that throughout the film is being traced and hunted relentlessly via an interesting Sci-Fi/ Magic concept.

Steven Spielberg's original story that David Koepp fleshed out into a slightly muddled, tonally schitzophrenic script (the tech darkness of Minority Report, schmaltzy childhood glow of E.T.) , the Story owe's a mild debt to Philip K. Dick's paranoia in my opinion, mixed with a traditional alien, US Government conspiracy concept at its peak in popularity during the 1990s. X-Files, the 'Truth' is out there, vibes.

Disclosure Day is not as well conveyed, popcorn entertaining, as Tom Cruise's 2002 paranoid actioner but also nowhere near as terrible as the net critics are leading one to believe.

7 out of 10 flying saucers.

Book Review - 'Hitler's Ideology: A Study in Psychoanalytic Sociology' by Dr Richard A. Koenigsberg

Book review of 'Hitler's Ideology: A Study in Psychoanalytic Sociology' by Dr Richard A. Koenigsberg:  Review by Gavin Wainwright:     In ' Hitler's Ideology: A Study in Psychoanalytic Sociology ' , you have a powerful tool on display that is sharp and precise. Adolf Hitler's actions and words are deconstructed. Causa Sui: Adolf seeks refuge from the terror of being the 'other' ,seeking reunification with Mother and pushing the 'other' onto easy targets of the time - Jews, foreigners, communists.     All of this is reassembled in exquisite form.     The journey towards understanding Hitler's psyche is sound and Richard A. Koenigsberg has a clean narrative that is a priceless device for students of university and also of life.     The person of Adolf Hitler is one that comes with a strong social stigma and humanity in general has averted its fragile eyes away from the true horror of the situation, unwi...

'The Nightmaaa'

The Nightmare -Gavin Wainwright- One night before The Nightmare… Allison gently crept out of Sally’s bedroom, the warm, yellow glow fading on her back.   Several dolls and stuffed toys sat eagerly perched on the side cupboard’s edge. Smiling, glassy eyed sentinels of moulded plastic and fine acrylic fibre observed blindly the blonde five-year old that now slept within.  The simulacra gave the illusion of protection that all parents sought for their offspring.   Sally had fallen asleep to her mother reading Clifford the Big Red Dog to her, a classic story about an oversized canine and the adventures he experiences.  Allison counted five times the same story had been read to Sally. Fictional characters are eternal and Ally wondered how many generations it was now who had been comforted by that big red mutt.  The little girl was zonked out fully and probably re-living the children’s story in the world of dreams, running through the streets and then riding a crimson...

INSECTOID's origin... ' Did you ever hear the Story?

  INSECTOID! Four Eyes Studios presents... Insectoid's Origin 10th November 2025 ‘Did you ever hear the Story?’ The beautiful, young Mother bent over, fully down, towards The Innocent, her beloved Child. In her lowliness, she was exalted by her own giving benevolence, her material-covered knees touched the soft carpet at the side of the glowing oaken bedframe, ancient wood wisely spoke of hidden stories, mighty adventures and well-earned sleep.   She was whispering of gentle dreams where a listener is ever kindly lulled into the great Mystery: towards the world of sweet slumber, the Kingdom with sparkling azure brooks which always reflect a benevolent golden Star. A Land filled with verdant greenery and foggy forests, of tiny magical animals singing and enthusiastically dancing in pure celebration, with ecstatic joy each blossom pink Morning. The critters also embrace with gratitude each yellow Noon, each orange, sun-kissed Afternoon and they sing of the wondrous Night...
