“…From the Eternal Sea he rises Creating armies on either side Turning man against his brother ‘Til man exists no more”

Many believe the prophecy from the Book of Revelation provides a map to a terrifying future…or it presents fragments of history that have come to life in our time. The signs, they claim, are all around us: terrorist attacks, extreme weather… the list goes on.
The passage specifically points to the arrival of the Anti-Christ, who is branded with the numerical sequence “666”: the mark of the Beast. The Anti-Christ will receive his power directly from Satan to establish a counterfeit kingdom on earth, signaling the beginning of Armageddon…

Robert Thorn is unaware of such dark prophecies. Thorn, a senior American diplomat, has other things on his mind. His wife, Katherine, has endured a difficult delivery and she’s as yet unaware their newborn child has died. Devastated by the loss, Thorn’s concern turns to Katherine, who had suffered two previous miscarriages. The news will surely devastate her.

The hospital priest, Father Spiletto, presents Thorn with another child born that night, whose mother died in childbirth. The priest compels Thorn to take the infant boy as his own; Katherine will never know the truth, and their son, which they name Damien, will be raised as their flesh and blood. Katherine embraces the child as her own, blossoming in motherhood; Thorn, it would seem, has made the right choice.

Thorn’s career ascends – he becomes the U.S. ambassador to Great Britain – and the family settles into an estate outside London. But certain events, all seeming to revolve around the now five-year-old Damien, are deeply disturbing: Damien’s nanny hangs herself at the youngster’s birthday party; a strange priest brings dire warnings to Thorn; a children’s trip to the zoo results in a panicked frenzy; Damien becomes hysterical during a drive to church; and blurred movements in a series of photographs portend shocking deaths.

The troubling incidents multiply, pointing to something wrong – terribly wrong – with Damien. Enter Mrs. Baylock, Damien’s new nanny, who seems to have a preordained devotion to the child. Then tragedy strikes closer to home. But only later does Thorn comprehend the truth: Damien is no ordinary child; he is the long-prophesized Anti-Christ. Now, Thorn must make the ultimate sacrifice to prevent the unspeakable terror that awaits the world.

The prophecy is clear, the signs unmistakable: Armageddon is upon us. On 6 / 6 / 06, the omen is revealed...and our darkest fears are realized.

THE OMEN is a contemporary thriller based on the 1976 classic film released by Twentieth Century Fox, starring Gregory Peck and Lee Remick, and directed by Richard Donner. The film, like “The Exorcist” and “Rosemary’s Baby” before it, galvanized audiences not only through its shocks and scares, but through the filmmakers’ storytelling gifts and its top-flight cast. “The Omen” became one of the biggest hits of the year.

The films look and sound reasonably good in hi-def; the supplements included with The Omen alone are extremely generous. As for the films themselves, you get a good classic horror flick, a respectable remake, one mediocre sequel, and one spectacularly good/bad sequel. Some awful packaging makes it a close call, but I'm leaning towards the positive side with this one. Some people prefer those lean, grimy slasher movies with faceless serial killers and pulsing synth soundtracks. Me, I'll take these bombastic and endearingly ambitious slices of religious horror and the accompanying large-scale Jerry Goldsmith scores. It's all a matter of taste, really. Bearing that in mind, this collection is recommended.

PRO AND CONTRA

Hello guys…I want to show about pro and contra about “Should mobile phone be banned in school”

In Indonesia many tool to communication in long distance, for example fax, mobile phone, telegram etc. And the most popular tool is mobile phone, mobile phone can to send a Short Message Service and call all our friend and our family in every where.

But now many student bring mobile phone in school, in fact in school banned to use mobile phones but many student not to respect with the ruler. One of the student said,” I’m not agree with the ruler because I stay with my uncle without my parents so I need communication with them. If there are something happen , just call and finish . So… I can know what happen.

Sometimes, student use mobile phone when we are having a test I think it dangerous because that mobile phones can puts with our teacher and it can be stupid, lazy and not study because we not do test with out self but we waiting our friend to send the answer for us.

I conclusion, many student not agree with the ruler, but the student must know when use mobile phones and where they use it.
