I watched more than five movies in 2025, but five of them totally left an impression. Some are older, and some are newer, but they’re all good. So, here’s my top five movies of 2025 in no particular order:
Red Rocket
Time Trap
Time Cop
Total Recall
The Running Man
A lot of people would say Red Rocket was funny, but I found it to be more interesting and intriguing. Don’t get me wrong, it was humorous, but for me, it was too real; a borderline comedy/drama.
Time Trap was a movie I watched on YouTube one night while I was in bed. It totally blew my mind, and I ended up watching it like two more times the next day.
Time Cop left me speechless. I grew up watching Van Damme, and I had no idea Time Cop even existed. To me, Blood Sport was the movie that made him famous, but Time Cop, I think, was Van Damme’s best movie. Excellent plot and storyline.
I watched Total Recall starring Arnold Schwarzenegger a bunch of times over the years, and I actually still have it on VHS, but recently, it finally clicked. I said to myself, “Boy, this movie was really good!” Schwarzenegger, despite what his coworkers tell him, decides to have a memory implanted in his head of a two-week stay on the planet Mars (Lol). Things get really weird when the memory implant is rejected, and eventually, Douglas Quaid (Schwarzenegger) realizes he actually went to Mars.
The Running Man features Arnold Schwarzenegger, aka, Ben Richards, aka, The Butcher of Bakersfield. When Richards defies his military orders and chooses not to slaughter a crowd of unarmed men, woman, and children, he’s immediately apprehended. He is, however, given a second chance and an opportunity to repay his debt to society by participating on a popular game show called The Running Man.
Starring: John C. Reilly, Sean William Scott, Jenna Fischer, and Lili Taylor
Written/Directed: Steve Conrad
First of all let me just say that not many people got the end of the movie, and that was one of the best parts. After Doug finds out he got the job, he does this running double flip on the sidewalk of a busy downtown street.
All throughout the movie, people were asking him if he was a male gymnast in the junior Olympics. And, despite his coworkers telling him they googled it, Doug claimed it wasn’t true. Then, at the end of the movie, he does the celebratory flip and you know at that point that the rumors were true. 😄
I watched this movie so many times, and what I love about it is its “down to earth plot.” Doug Stauber and his girlfriend, played by Jenna Fischer, live in an apartment with neighbors who are annoying. They want out so bad.
She has a good job in a hospital and is debating the decision of going back to school, but Doug is fighting for this promotion at Donaldson’s Food Store. The promotion will finally get him a job in management, which comes with a hefty pay raise.
The movie captures the struggles of young couple trying to make it with all the shenanigans that go on in the work place at a grocery store.
Personally, the plot and the movie in its entirety was relatable.
I did some number crunching, and there are over 300,000 food stores in the United States. 4.5% of our population works at a grocery store, and I hope they enjoyed this movie as much as I did.
I gave The Promotion 5 out of 5 clapboards! 🎬🎬🎬🎬🎬
It was funny, the cast was legendary, and it was brilliantly written.
The original reason why I pulled this clip, is because for one, it’s a prelude to later scene, and two, it really captures the essence of what freedom and spirit are all about.
I just love this role Patrick Swayze played in the movie Point Break. He’s an awakened individual now living in the current moment, and as the (LEO) leader of his group, he expresses to them that although they have accumulated a good chunk of wealth robbing banks, money was never really the issue.
It was about hope and the preservation of the human spirit.
Throughout time, a lot of people have compared life to theatrics, a play, or more specifically, a tragedy or a drama. Swayze answers that by saying, “It’s not a tragedy if you die doing what you love.”
And, the later scene this is a prelude to is below.
Keanu Reeves said, “People are dead, the rides over.”
Patrick Swayze answers, “No, I decide when it’s over.”
There, Swayze is taking his stance against the law, and he let’s Reeves know that he’s willing to pay the ultimate price.
This last clip I added because out of all the times I’ve watched this movie, I just now heard him mention Antarctica, which happens to be the place that generates the powerful ocean currents that drive the 50-year storm.
Barbara Hand Clow, in her book, Chiron, tells us that whenever the number 50 is involved, it indicates a crises. How interesting it is indeed to hear the number 50 mention in the same scene as the Antarctica.
This can only be a foreshadow to let us know that the current crises is about FREEDOM and ANTARCTICA, not the global warming.
Once you get past all the action in this movie, there’s so much more hidden and deeper in terms of foreshadowing, indirect messages, and spirituality.
The fact that they’re wearing masks of several United States Presidents while they’re robbing the banks, hints that it’s our own elected officials that are the real thieves.
Patrick Swayze plays a character named Bodhi. Bodhi comes from Hinduism. A Bodhisattva is a person on an enlightened path and trying to become a Buddha or Bodhi.
Freedom, Antarctica, and it’s not a tragedy if you die doing what you love; that pretty much sums it up and it’s coming straight from the Buddha himself.

Starring: Kris Kristofferson as Bobby Logan, Treat Williams as Ernie Wyatt
Flashpoint was a movie released in 1984, and I have to be honest, it was a masterpiece! Flashpoint brings together many different elements and would-be experiences from the life of border agents patrolling the southern border of the United States.
Logan and Wyatt are partners who work as border patrol agents. Logan is like the old veteran who is just tired of the politics and where the agency is headed. Wyatt is extremely smart, and he’s like the young cowboy type still believing in truth, justice, and the American way.
But Wyatt and Logan in their own ways, are both blind to how deep the corruption is within the agency, and Logan gets a first-hand lesson from a “fixer-agent” sent to Texas from Washington D.C. We’re talking about corruption at the highest levels; allowing illegal immigrants and drugs to enter the country just so the agency can continue receiving federal dollars for work.
With everything going on that’s work-related, Logan stumbles upon a jeep buried under the sand in a Texas desert, and a completely different aspect of this movie is unlocked that not only takes over the imagination of the viewing audience, but the storyline as well.
I’ve always loved the Jason Bourne series of movies, but I have a special place in my heart for, The Bourne Legacy.
The Bourne Legacy came out in 2012, and it was the 4th installment in the Bourne movie series, but it was the first Jason Bourne movie that didn’t feature Matt Damon.
The Bourne Legacy
The 2012 hit featured, Jeremy Renner.
So, as a person who spent his 20s addicted to pain pills, I watched this movie many times through lens of addiction, but now that I’m over that phase of my life, I can laugh at the hilarious behaviors displayed by a person with an addiction.
First, let me say that Jeremy Renner was fabulous in this film, and this has nothing to do with his performance or the series in general.
If you’ve conquered addiction then you’ll get this.
In the beginning of the movie, Renner is swimming in a lake of frozen water that’s surrounded by snow, with no shirt on! 😯🤣 Okay, that’s really courageous and brave.
He’s running up snowy mountains, waving torches of fire around, and fighting wolves! 😯🤣 Yeah! This guy is a badass!
Uh oh, then, he loses his medication! 🤣🤣 And that’s where I woke up, because let’s face it, swimming in frozen water, waving fire torches around, and fighting with wolves, well, that’s just drug behavior. 🤣🤣
And, you realize it’s drug behavior as soon as he loses his chemicals.
From that point on, the rest of the movie is about that chase for more drugs, and if you’ve been addicted to drugs, then you definitely understand the level of intensity involved with that chase. I actually felt bad for him, but I understood.
Can you imagine being addicted to something, and then running out of it while you were on top of a snow capped mountain? He was probably so happy when that drone was bringing more medication, but then it blew up!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Anyway, it was a great movie, and I think I watched it thirty times. Jeremey Renner has a commercial out now about Silk Almond Milk, and in the commercial he’s singing, “I feel good now!”
I posted on Twitter and the N.B. Facebook page to check back here, so, you’re probably wondering what all the fuss is about?
This morning I dragged myself out of bed at six something, and let me remind you, it’s Sunday, and today is probably the second time in a long time that I’m not working seven days in a week. Why am I up?
I stumbled over to my desk, opened my cell phone to the Pluto app., and starting watching a movie I saw a while ago, “Cube.”
Cube came out in 1997, and it was written and co-directed by Vincenzo Natali. In short, it was about a group of people who awaken and find themselves in a room that they later figure out is just one square room in a giant cube. As they navigate their way through this deadly machine, lives are lost, people are murdered, and people straight up lose their minds. In the end, it comes down to mathematics and science, and finally, they figure out what the hell is going on.
Okay, that was the movie I was watching this morning. I was tired, and wondering why I watching it when I could’ve been sleeping. As the movie progressed and got towards the end, I had my awaking after some powerful and coincidental quotes were said.
Let’s begin with the quotes from Nicole de Boer, who played Joan in the movie.
Time: 1:08:54. “27. I know where the exit is.”
Time 1:10:02. “The room starts off as a bridge, then it moves its way through the maze, which is where we ran into it. At some point, it must return to its original position. The bridge is only a bridge for a short period of time. This thing is like a giant combination lock. When the rooms are in their starting positions, the lock is open, but when they move out of alignment, the lock closes.”
Time 1:12:13. “IT’S ASTRONOMICAL!”
Those three quotes say it all.
Now, the wheels were turning in my head.
A few scenes earlier, when Helen Holloway, played by Nicki Guadagni, reaches the assumed edge and way out, she finds herself in a dark exterior portion of the cube.
I took this picture of the screen with my cell phone. To the left, you’ll see Holloway hanging by a rope made of clothes, but immediately, I noticed something else.
Look at all the rooms with the light shining out of them.
I said, “Now that looks familiar.”
And I was right!
It’s the state flag of New Mexico.
As in Roswell, (the 1947 Alien crash) New Mexico.
I dug a little more and found this picture of Nicole de Boer.
So, what does all this mean? Well, I have several hunches, and if you watch the movie you’ll understand.
We always think we have to go somewhere far away to find the answers to what we’re seeking, but the truth is actually the opposite. If we stay put and give the cycles around us time to complete, we’ll get all the answers we’re looking for.
Boer said it! As a matter of fact, she yelled it! “IT’S ASTRONOMICAL!” And, “27. I know where the exit is.”
27 is a reference to the Moon.
All this technology that’s created to take us wherever we want to go, is a temptation on a spiritual level. Just stay put, and let the cycles move around you.
I’m 43, but when I was around 29, Saturn made its first full orbit around the sun coming back to its position in my natal chart. The Saturn return opened a path of spirituality and self-discovery for me.
Just like in the movie, how they say the room in its starting position is a bridge, and the bridge is the way out; I’ve been constantly writing about Barbara Hand Clow’s book, Chiron, Rainbow Bridge Between the Inner and Outer Planets. The bridge is the commonality!
I think Boer was is on to something in the movie when she makes the comparison of what they’re in as being like a giant combination lock that’s open when the rooms are in their starting positions.
Perhaps, when the planets are in their starting positions, something is open, but when they move out of alignment, it’s closed?
Or, what about the houses? I think maybe, we can compare the rooms in the movie to the houses in the astrological chart. When the houses return to their original positions, something opens up.
And what about Maurice Dean Wint, the man playing Quinton? I just blogged about x-rays, and there’s a scene in the movie where he compares the way he sees and thinks to x-rays.
What about the aliens? I do believe that scene I took a picture of showing the exterior of the machine they’re in is absolutely a reference to New Mexico. Perhaps, the secret we as humans are unaware of is precisely when this opening occurs.
Maybe, extraterrestrials and off-planet civilizations know when the lock opens, and they use that brief moment in time to enter in to the atmosphere of our planet.
I don’t know for sure, but I’m going to keep playing around with this until I figure it out. I’ll probably start with the astrological houses, but like Boer said, “IT’S ASTRONOMICAL.” Not astrological.
One last thing. In the movie, we see the image of the state flag of New Mexico, but there’s a square in the movie, and it’s a circle on the flag. For those who are in this circle of thought, think. Remember the term, squaring the circle? If we square the circle, we can make it a giant cube, and then all we have to do is figure out the degrees of arc.
Remember this picture? I posted it on here several times. Two summers ago, I took this picture of my window one morning because I wanted to capture the sunlight coming through the window and the curtain.
When I looked at the picture on my phone I noticed a strange big circle, and under it, was what appeared to be a half moon or arc, with a dot of light in it surrounded by another circle.
Then, I zoomed in on that dot of light, and realized, it was an eye.
Now, today, I’m looking back at these pictures after watching Cube, and I noticed my curtains are a chessboard design.
A circle on the flag. A square in the movie. Squaring the circle.
I’m sitting here reading and doing some studying. Quiet it’s not, and of all songs, I’m listening to Mike Macaluso’s club anthem, The Final Chapter.
It’s amazing to see how all these dots connect. So, I’m reading through one of my old favorites, Inside The Priory of Sion, (you’re probably sick of hearing me talk about this book, but everytime I thumb through it, I find something new) by Robert Howells.
On page 280, underneath the subsection titled The Second Coming, I find the paragraph pictured below.
Oh, that’s cool, I thought, The Final Chapter led me to The Second Coming!
Dots!
I read this quite a few times over the years, but that first paragraph had an excitingly different feel to it tonight. Can you guess why?
Give up?
It says, “With a New Jerusalem rising from the receding floodwaters..”
That’s how the first paragraph opens, and up until last week, I probably would’ve read through this section like I always have, but boy, this news about the African continent splitting in half changes things.
Apparently, this split began in 2005, but I just read about it last week. It’s on the eastern side of the continent, and it starts at the top near the Red Sea!
I mean, you can’t mention Jerusalem without mentioning the Red Sea, and because they’re relatively close geographically, you would not be crazy to assume several things.
Most people could care less about what’s going on in Africa, including a friend of mine who happens to be from Uganda. I don’t get it!
A tectonic plate shift, continents moving around, and the earth reshaping itself, has up until now, been entirely speculation, and something we believed to happen over millions of years.
That would never happen during our time! Oh, but it is! How is this not being seen as one of the most important events in the history of our planet? HELLO!
We’re living through this amazing process, and thousands of years from now, a future generation will look at a map that’s totally different from ours.
They’ll say, just like we have, “I heard a long time ago, this new continent formed because Africa split in half. I mean, that new continent looks like it could possibly fit nicely if you placed it next to the other land mass, but who knows.”
That’s what we’ve always said, but we never knew for sure. The biggest news, though, and the biggest connection of all, is this;
Africa splitting in half is not only a major event concerning the physical evolution of our earth, but it’s a sign that our ancient ancestors anticipated and expected for a very long time because it would signal the rise of the New Jerusalem and the Second Coming of Christ.
The New Jerusalem rising from the floodwaters..
They already said the split was going to be cause of major flooding. A new continent and a new ocean will be the result, so we’re talking about the possibility of devastating land-sinking flooding here. What other event can cause the type of flooding needed for Jerusalem to rise anew?
I’m going to wrap this up by sharing this; The split in Africa is a sign for the Second Coming. The flooding it causes will be the floodwaters mentioned above that ultimately set the stage for the final act of St. John’s Prophecy. This event, we should be thanking God we’re living through.
We are living on this planet during a time of physical earth changes. This event, if examined properly, will reveal much needed information about us, the planet we live on, and the changes that occurred in our far distant past. This stuff happens over millions of years, and we’re here now!
In addition, just two days ago, we we’re talking about the First Station of the Cross. That information was also from this book. We’re trying to figure out the significance of the Ethiopian boy in the scene of the Judgment of Christ before his crucifixion.
I raised many questions about the imagery of that scene, including the connection between the Ethiopian boy representing Ganymede or Aquarius and the crucifixion of Jesus.
We’ll what’s going on? Pluto is beginning its transit through Aquarius. Pluto will retrograde several times over the next year before going direct and staying in the sign of Water Bearer for the next 19 or 20 years. The First Station of the Cross is the beginning of Christ’s path from judgment to crucifixion.
In that scene, there’s an Ethiopian boy who represents Aquarius. I don’t know about you, but to me, the picture is clear. Ethiopia is in Africa. The Ethiopian boy who represents Ganymede or Aquarius connects the split in Africa with Pluto’s transit through Aquarius right now, and eventually, the Second Coming of Christ.
This is the time, and it’s all happening right now. At the end of all this, we have some firsts or beginnings. The split begins in Africa, Pluto begins its transit through Aquarius, and the path from judgment to crucifixion begins with The First Station.
Did The Final Chapter really lead us to the Second Coming? Yes, in a way, but the Second Coming is the Final Chapter.
“It is all a matter of power and dominance concentrated in the hands of a clergy threatened by independent thinking and personal liberty. That’s why the Constitution is so amazingly insistent on personal freedom. The Founding Fathers were Humanist, Deists, and Masons, not radically right-wing in their thinking. Even Thomas Jefferson took a scissors to the New Testament of the Bible and cut it down to what he felt was representative of the true message of Jesus-and Jefferson’s Bible, which can be purchased these days in some bookstores, is a very thin version of the recognized New Testament. Those are the kinds of people who founded America, and we need to recognize and give them the admiration they deserve for independent thinking. We need to reclaim the heroes of the nation’s past for the real people they were and reject the mythos surrounding them.“
Ann Moura
If you’re truly into restoring the United States and resurrecting the Constitution, I would copy and keep this quote. For some of us, it will make sense right now, while others won’t understand it until a later time, nevertheless, it’s true, it’s important, and it’s a shocking viewpoint from someone you’d least expect.
I was brought back to this quote last night after a watching a series of movies and video interviews. First, I watched Dr. Steven Greer’s interview on the Shawn Ryan Show, and boy oh boy, did he have some important stuff to share. I was already in possession of an open-mind to what he was talking about, and I do believe it, but to hear him say the Constitutional government of the United States hasn’t been in power since Eisenhower was mind-blowing. He also talked about a dark or shadow government that’s operating within our country but outside it’s laws and Constitution. It’s a group with its own private air force, and technology far superior to our own military’s.
This is dangerous, and for many reasons obviously, but our country will always be stuck in neutral when there’s a group undermining the position of the presidency. So, if like me, you’re wondering how JFK could be assassinated in broad daylight in front of everyone in Dallas, you now have your answer. When it comes to doing what’s right, honor, honesty, and integrity, I can’t imagine this group would have much, but they operate under the belief that they’re doing what’s necessary to preserve this country and protect national security.
But to be honest, I never believed in that whole national security thing, because it was We The People who delegated the power to declare war to our Federal Government, and it’s We The People who won independence for Colonial America. Before the United States had an organized military, it was We The People, and that’s the reason why We The People have the right to arm ourselves. Protecting ourselves, our families, our communities, and our Nation if it’s necessary, is our responsibility.
Last night, for the first time, I watched the Manchurian Candidate with Denzel Washington. That was a powerful-powerful movie. It’s a must watch, and I don’t want to give it all away, but it was the plot of that movie that caused me to Tweet this morning that I think we should revisit who was really responsible for removing our monuments and statues.
In my opinion, there was way more behind that act then the reason given. We’re led to believe that it was the murder of George Floyd, that eventually led to that, but after watching the Manchurian Candidate last night, it’s clear that that act was not only an act of terrorism, but a regime change right under our noses. That needs to be investigated, and the truth about the pandemic needs to come out.
In closing, I would like to say two things; the first, is that the Founding Fathers of the United States have such a bad rap, and that’s due to an agenda driven culture that for years, has done nothing but undermine this nation. The colonization of the North American Continent goes back to the 1500s. It was France and Britain’s desire for control and expansion that led to the takeover of the east coast of North America. They wanted to control ports for the delivery of goods by water, which would guarantee them no problems when shipping east to west via the Atlantic Ocean.
Our Founders hijacked that plan from them, and it wasn’t until 1776 that we claimed our independence, which threw a wrench in their plans for world domination. In a sense, our Founders had a lot of wrongs to right, and if you really read the history, you’ll find they were taking steps to resolve the slave issue in the early 1800s.
We we never taught the proper history.
The second thing is that we’re under this illusion that fascism is a liberal or democratic thing, and that’s because fascism is way left on the governmental control chart.
Remember, extreme left is total government control, and extreme right is anarchy. Just because fascism is close to the extreme left, that doesn’t mean the democrats are responsible. It’s wealthy and influential members of government in cahoots with wealthy private businesses, and those wealthy and influential members of government can be republican or democrat.
Happy birthday season to all the fish! Yes, the sun just blazed a trail through Aquarius, and today, Sol sits on the zero degree of Pisces. Casablanca, Alexandria, and Dublin are several cities ruled by the astrological sign Pisces, and pale green and turquoise are its special colors.
The duality, element, and quality is feminine, water, and mutable. Pisces is a feminine sign that shares an axis with its polar opposite, Virgo.
According to astrology, you’re a Pisces if your natal sun is in Pisces between the dates of February 19th and March 20th, approximately. Pisces are known to be imaginative, emotional, intuitive, romantic, and because of their quality, they can be quite adaptable.
Neptune is the ruling planet, and Neptune is home in Pisces in the 12th House. Neptune is the god of the sea and the Roman equivalent to ancient Greece’s Poseidon. The 12th House is considered one of the more mystical houses, and I’ve been talking about it a lot here on Nooz Buffet during my astrological interpretations of people who suffered untimely deaths.
It’s not that the 12th House is that bad. We just perceive it as bad because it’s where we find the limitations that life places upon us. Sometimes, though, as we’ve come to understand with Saturn, limitations aren’t always a bad thing. If you just won a million dollars, but you’re terrible with handling money, a $1,000 per week maximum payout can be a good thing.
In order to understand the 12th House, you have to be honest with yourself because this is also where we find karma and the law of return. This is where we’re awarded or punished for the deeds we’ve done. If you refuse to take responsibility, then how will you learn?
🌚 I don’t know if it’s always like this, but it seems lately, every time the sun enters a new sign, there’s a new moon in the same sign around the same time. Now is no different.
Tomorrow night, 2/20, there’s a new moon in Pisces, and every time we talk about new moons, I remind you guys that it’s a time for planting seeds. That, of course, is harvest language. I don’t mean literally to go outside and start a garden.
The new moon is when a new moon cycle begins. It’s a time of endings and new beginnings, and it’s the perfect time to start something new.
Here is the most important part; a lot of people say bullshit to this or that it doesn’t matter when you begin something, and to them, I have two things to say.
Starting something at the time of the new moon is like being in the ocean and timing that wave that allows you to coast gracefully ashore.
The second thing is about endings and new beginnings. Again, people say bullshit or they don’t get it or see any difference.
When something ends, something new begins. The end of one thing is the beginning of something else. Essentially, endings and beginnings are the same.
What are we doing wrong?
When the moon turns from a waning crescent that’s lit at 1% to a new moon, it’s like turning a page in a book. There’s is no overlap or dragging it out. If you want something new to begin, like a real true beginning, you have to put an end to whatever you don’t want anymore. Not 75%, not 50%, not 10%; you have to end it totally.
That’s why we’re not seeing the change we want.
The key phrase for Pisces is, “I believe.” With the sun entering Pisces and the new moon phase beginning tomorrow night, it’s the perfect time to commit to something you believe in, change your belief system, or just be done with and over lies, falsities, and whatever has failed the test of time.
It’s time to get with yourself and figure it out. Is what you believe truly what you personally believe? What beliefs have you adopted through birth, because of peer pressure, or because they were popular? It’s time to separate what’s yours from what isn’t.
The lucky numbers for Pisces are 2 and 6, and amethyst is the lucky stone.
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday, and have a great week!
Last night for the very first time, I saw the 1977 Steven Spielberg classic, Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind.
Again, like Satan’s Triangle, we have another movie made in the 70s that was simply amazing.
Wow, I don’t even know where to begin. UFO sightings are becoming more frequent in the United States and across the world. So frequent in fact, that it’s impossible for the government and the military to hide it from the population.
It’s hard to write this review without giving away the entire movie, it’s just something you have to see if you have an interest in UFOs and extraterrestrials.
I’ve always believed in life elsewhere in the universe, but after watching this movie something made a whole lot of sense.
The character Richard Dreyfuss played, Roy; that trance-like obsession where you’re using art as an outlet to make sense of something. I’ve been there and I’ve experience it-drawing something over and over again.
Well, what we find out later in the movie is that all the people from all over the world who were drawing, or painting, or making that mountain image, where being called by the extraterrestrials.
The extraterrestrials were communicating with them telepathically, and what the people were actually obsessing over was a monument or a marker at the location where the UFOs were landing.
The extraterrestrials wanted these individuals, it was their calling, but the government was using the military to wall off the public from discovering the landing site.
Unbelievable!
Movie: Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind.
Release Date: 1977
