	Hopewell Astronomy: Lunar alignment at the Octagon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
		In the case of the Octagon in its current state as a private golf course, the horizon can't be seen at all due to the numerous trees.
		The alignment corresponding to the Octagon axis involves the northernmost risings of the moon.
		Thus it is interesting that the alignment of the Octagon is suitable to gauge the maximum moonrise during the approximate life of the Hopewell culture, 100 BC through 500 AD, and not suitable very much earlier or later.

		I'm guessing that alumnus of the Phillip Holder Ninja Camp (or "Kamp" if you are funny) were about the same as the people graduating from this Octagon thing, meaning they're the type of gang who would get their ass kicked by a single well-trained individual.

		The Octagon takes a lot of flack for "looking dated," which has never hit me as an especially meaningful criticism.

		"The Octagon" is clearly more ambitious and better produced than a number of similar martial arts thrillers, although its reliance on actual plot and character development tends to make it drag at times.
		"The Octagon" is really not bad for this kind of film, although since it's NOT wall-to-wall action, some folks may find it hard to sit through.
