    Wow! How times have changed

    Most thought this movie was so far fetched when it came out in 2006. Then... 2020 happened and - reviews changed drastically. Not so far fetched anymore. We lived this nightmare.

    What may be "fiction" now may be FACT in years to come. As bird flu in 2024 has now been contracted by humans, we'll see what the future holds...2025 is already off to a bad start.

    We hope it's not a repeat of Covid with forced "immunizations" and wide-spread panic with rights being taken away. No one in 2006 thought this would EVER come true and yet it did.

    Truth is stranger than fiction they say and if the past is anything to learn from, I hope we learned enough lessons in 2020.
