Religion can be a very damaging thing especially for those that live their lives focused on it’s principles. Unfortunately the amount of brainwashing that comes with having a faith and separating yourself from every one else, because you are a part of a religion can really cause chaos to the world. Although we are not against religion, we wish that people opened their eyes and see religion for what it really is and that is a thing that is managed by human beings and not god. It doesn’t mean that you can’t believe in any religion, but more to believe that there is a god and he’s the one that runs the show.
Human cloning is thing has been on scientists mind for quite some time and with the way that technology is getting in the future you may see humans being cloned. Panayiotis Zavos and Severino Antinori two doctors from Italy claim that they can do it, but there is a huge controversy going around this especially in the science community. Those that argue against it claim that in the many clones performed on animals there have been many birth defects, which adds that fear to those who do support cloning.
There is also the religious crowd that are against, being that scientists are playing god by cloning.

If you like to watch movies you probably didn’t know of the process that directors go once the film has been produced. In this documentary entitled ” This film is not yet rated” you get a thorough look at the headaches that a director must go depending on the movie that he or she makes. Nudity and violence are a big factor when it comes to ratings and if your movie has any you will get a rating that is geared towards adults only, which can then impact the sales of the movie as some retailers refuse to sell a certain movies depending on the ratings. In a way this documentary attacks the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) as it goes on deep to investigate the movie raters to see who are these people that rate our movies.
As it turns out some of these raters are very conservative or are older people, who tend to be the type that are close minded and will rate these movies for adults only. This documentary is very interesting as it questions a lost of aspects of the MPAA, but most importantly it asks: What makes these people the authority on rating films?
Penn & Teller are known for busting secrets on many of the stuff that magicians and illusionists do and they always reveal a lot of truth that’s been hidden that many would like to know about. In this section of Twisted Documentaries they show us what may me hidden in the secret military base known as Area 51. This base has been featured in many popular video games including Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas where they called it Area 69, and recently in 2005 with Area 51 (The Game) which we got a chance to play and was a lot of fun.
They interviewed former employees of the base that reveal that there are Aliens in that base and that we do communicate with alien forces, but this person also reveal that the Aliens run the show and that top people like Dick Cheney know about the whole thing. Penn & Teller investigate the other side of things as well, which makes it an interesting documentary/show. Watch below if you are the type that believes in Aliens and may want to know about UFO sightings and hidden secrets behind them.
