President Barack Obama..."Start Treaty" signed in Prague! Former Soviet Nations worry...






In what amounted to a landmark step forward on arms control, President Obama met with the Russian President Dmitry Medvedev to sign a pact known as the “START” treaty.

The Commander-in-Chief flew to tPrague on Wednesday and met with the Russian leader like clock-work at the Prague Castle today (Thursday April 8th) without any hitches.

The treaty calls for a reduction in both U.S. and Russian nuclear strongholds.

Contrary to predictions that the arsenals will be reduced by thirty percent, critics and analysts have pooh-poohed the notion.

“The numbers will be much smaller,” one official confided anonymously.

Although growing tensions in recent years between the two world powers are expected to abate somewhat, some speculate that the pressure may have been dumped into the laps of other foreign nations.

Former Soviet countries in eastern Europe are allegedly nervous, for example, about the new bonding between Barack Obama and Dmitri Medvedev, and are expected to seek assurances that their security is not adversely affected by the accord struck between the U.S. and Russia.

Obama is now inclined to focus at the heart of the matter.

The President will host a summit meeting on Washington Hill next week to discuss effective ways to secure nuclear materials.

Moscow Chill...DVD release of espionage thriller starring Norman Reedus in video outlets on April 21st!



"Moscow Chill" is one of those 1 million dollar budget films that caught me by surprise when I screened it at a packed house at the Fine Arts Theatre in Beverly Hills last year.

As I noted at the time in my review, Hollywood "suits" should sit up and take notice - after all - Director Chris Solimine performed miracles with the pittance he had at his disposal.

The cinematography is superb, the production values are rich, the script is well-written, and the motley cast (who trekked off to Russian for the stunning location shots) act superbly in this entertaining espionage feature which hits the right spot.

For a sneak peak at my movie review:

The word from Solimine's straight-shooting hip is that "Moscow Chill" is being released on DVD on April 21st (2009).

Snap up a copy (it may become a collector's item) if only to give a boost to a dynamite Independent Film crew who froze their bu**s off overseas to turn out this multi-faceted gem.

In the alternative, ferret out a copy to screen privately in your private boudoir, so you can fantasize in-between the sheets over sexy lead actor Norman Reedus (Boondog Saints).

You heard it here first, folks, Reedus is the next heart-throb on the horizon to soar to new career heights in Tinsel Town!
