I'd fight for my people." Bleecker Street FIlms has revealed an official trailer for The Return, a brand new take on the The Odyssey story from Italian filmmaker Uberto Pasolini. This film skipped Venice and ended up premiering at the Toronto & Chicago Film Festivals this fall, with a US release now set for December in theaters. Based on the classic story written by Homer. After 20 years Odysseus finally returns to Ithaca, where he finds his wife held prisoner by suitors vying to be king and his son facing death at their hands. To win back his family and all he has lost, Odysseus must rediscover his strength and fight back. The film reunites actors Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche 30 years after their Academy Award winning triumph in The English Patient. The cast also includes Charlie Plummer, Marwan Kenzari, Claudio Santamaria, and Angela Molina. This looks damn good!

The intro: "For an exhibition, that in the end never took place, the Pompidou Museum asked the filmmaker to reply, in pictures, to the question: Where are you at, Leos Carax? He attempts an answer – full of questions. About himself and 'his' world: I don't know, but if I did, I'd reply that..." C'est pas moi or It's Not Me.

no Noa Cohen is Mary in Biblical Epic 'Mary' Trailer with Anthony Hopkins By www.firstshowing.net Published On :: Tue, 12 Nov 2024 18:04:17 +0000 "All things are possible..." Netflix has revealed an official trailer for a movie called Mary, yet another new take on the birth of Jesus story. This is ready for streaming in December already. Directed by DJ Caruso (Disturbia, Eagle Eye, I Am Number Four, Redeeming Love), Mary reveals a side of the icon we’ve never seen or even imagined before. Noa Cohen (from the series "Infinity", "8200") stars as Mary in this coming-of-age biblical epic tale in which Mary is shunned following a miraculous conception and forced into hiding. When King Herod ignites a murderous pursuit for her newborn baby Jesus, Mary and Joseph go on the run – bound by faith and driven by courage – to save his life at all costs. The ensemble cast includes Ido Tako, Stephanie Nur, Susan Brown, Ori Pfeffer, Eamon Farren, Hilla Vidor, Mili Avital, Gudmundur Thorvaldsson, Dudley O'Shaughnessy, and Keren Tzur, with Anthony Hopkins. So they made an action thriller about Mary? They must be really hoping to get more religious viewers tuning in. Look good?

HBO has revealed the official trailer for a documentary film titled Night is Not Eternal, the next film by doc filmmaker Nanfu Wang (One Child Nation, In the Same Breath). This recently premiered at a small film festival and is now set for a streaming launching on HBO & Max starting next week.

Although Kamala Harris still took the majority of the youth vote, her margin of support from young voters, 6 points, was much smaller than Biden’s 25 point lead in 2020, and young men—unlike in 2020—broke in favor of Trump... Alice Siu, associate director of the Deliberative Democracy Lab at Stanford University, said that young voters’ opinions were more diverse than may have been expected... Climate Didn’t Necessarily Move Young Voters to Harris: Young voters also consistently rank climate change as an important issue, and in the lead up to the election some experts suggested that young climate voters could tip the race in favor of Harris.

Información de contracubierta:Suiza es un país en el que poquísimas cosas comienzan, pero muchas terminan Información de solapas:Suiza es un país en el que poquísimas cosas comienzan, pero muchas terminanF. Scott Fitzgerald A Matt Burris siempre se le encomendaban las misiones más difíciles, y si alguien podía infiltrarse en la organización bancaria suiza ése era él. Sin embargo sólo pudo cumplir su tarea utilizando recursos verdaderamente insospechados.Margit Staeli era la heredera de una de las fortunas más grandes de Europa, pero su tío Dieter no quería mujeres a la cabeza de la empresa y confiaba en que el día que la muchacha se casara con Erich, su prometido, las cosas se solucionarían solas.Cuando estos personajes se encuentran, la pacífica Suiza se transforma en el escenario de un juego mortal, en el que no sólo están en juego millones de francos sino también varias vidas humanas.La novela transcurre en un ambiente de intrigas que se planean en viejas mansiones, dentro de coches de lujo que se persiguen por autopistas interminables, en restaurantes en los que hay que saber por lo menos tres idiomas para poder desayunar, en despachos desde los cuales se gobierna el mundo.El choque producido entre las aspiraciones personales y los intereses del mundo de los negocios envuelve a los personajes en una maraña de traiciones, sexo y violencia, en medio de la cual hay, de vez en cuando, un gesto tierno, un amor auténtico, un sacrificio desinteresado.Al atractivo del argumento hay que sumarle el interés de descubrir una imagen de un país y de ciudades que creíamos conocer. Con mucho humor y fina ironía el autor nos va presentando el rostro desconocido de los suizos.El autor es un verdadero experto en la materia y nos revela los secretos de la evasión de divisas, de los institutos de belleza para mujeres internacionalmente famosas y de la forma cómo operan los Bancos para mantener inviolable el secreto de los depósitos que se hacen desde el extranjero. Leslie Waller comenzó su carrera literaria como periodista, oficio que le permitió adentrarse en ambientes diversos y que le proporcionó un profundo conocimiento del mundo que describe. Entre sus novelas más famosas figuran The Banker, The Family y The Coast of Fear. Pasa parte del año en Nueva York y el resto en Europa. MI COMENTARIO:De las novelas de décadas pasadas que encontré en mis búsquedas, La cuenta suiza era una de las que más me intrigaba. Evidentemente, trataba sobre el manejo financiero en Suiza, pero quería saber si incluía el espionaje en su historia, y qué estilo tenía, ya que posee una cantidad de páginas importante. Debo decir que me sorprendió: Waller se toma su tiempo para realizar una radiografía no sólo de los negocios que puede tener un gran banco helvético, sino que también desnuda al país mismo. Es una verdadera novela sobre el espíritu suizo. Waller no se enfoca en el folklore o en las bellezas turísticas (aunque también aparecen), sino que nos permite conocer una sociedad cerrada (por lo menos hasta los años ’70), donde las mujeres tienen limitados derechos básicos, con los hombres poderosos decididos a mantenerlas así. Es un país retrógrado con dinero. Sin embargo, la figura de Margit Staeli, heredera de la gran fortuna familiar, educada en Estados Unidos, sexualmente activa, se erige como la posibilidad de un cambio desde adentro. Pero la novela tiene varias líneas de acción más, que van desde un intrigante negocio electrónico con empresas japonesas, hasta el delirio geopolítico de Woods Palmer, ex director ejecutivo de UBCO, uno de los mayores bancos americanos, que vive cerca de Lugano. Palmer fue protagonista de una trilogía bestseller de Waller, compuesta por El banquero (1963), La familia (1968) y El americano (1971). Alguna fuente web que no registré decía que apareció en varios libros más, aunque de forma secundaria; La cuenta suiza lo confirma (curiosamente, los sitios webs más importantes sobre ficción no certifican esta serie). Palmer mueve a Matt Burris, ejecutivo de UBCO, desde su puesto en Japón a Basilea para que contribuya con una misión secreta a tomar el control de las finanzas del país. En una charla con Curtis, encargado de las operaciones secretas de UBCO, el director retirado confiesa sus propósitos megalómanos:—Hay que aprender a descifrar el lenguaje de los economistas —dijo (Palmer)—. Más de la mitad del mundo se encuentra en vísperas de graves problemas. Pero nosotros no formamos parte de esa mitad.—Me alegra saberlo. ¿Quién los sufrirá?—Los pueblos subdesarrollados —Palmer esbozó un gesto—. Yo no inventé el término. La gente marginal está demás. No se trata de los desocupados. Demonios, eso puede ocurrirle a cualquiera. Ocurre que esa gente no sabe hacer nada que le permita ganarse la vida.—¿Ni siquiera cavar zanjas?—Ni siquiera eso. Las máquinas lo hacen cien veces mejor y más rápido.—¿Cultivar alimentos, o algodón?—Muy pronto no se necesitarán brazos para ejecutar esas tareas —dijo Palmer con una sonrisa seca—. Ahora todo se hace con máquinas. Antiguamente un campesino de los lugares más remotos de África o Vietnam podía cultivar mijo o arroz, o cualquier cosa que le permitía vivir, con un pequeño sobrante que canjeaba por otros artículos necesarios. Pero la sequía está destruyéndolo, y el bajo costo de los granos producidos con máquinas viene a completar la tarea. Está acabado. Se muere ante nuestros propios ojos. Lo único que puede asegurarse con certeza es que el hambre se agravará cada vez más.—Pero podemos enviarles lo que necesitan.—¿Beneficencia?—¿Por qué no? —insistió Curtis—. Lo hemos hecho durante generaciones en beneficio de los habitantes marginales de Estados Unidos.Palmer meneó la cabeza.—No hay mucho sentimentalismo en los dirigentes de los países prósperos. Exceso de inflación, que perjudica a demasiada gente. Un político que enviara alimentos a los pueblos hambrientos de la tierra no duraría una semana.—¿De modo que tienen que morir?Palmer guardó silencio, los ojos fijos en la palma de la mano, con los dedos extendidos.—Tienen que morir.Curtis se puso de pie y caminó hacia el ventanal.—Y nosotros seremos los dueños de la tierra, ¿verdad?—Eso mismo —confirmó Palmer—. Hemos infligido algún daño a nuestra ecología. Pero podemos repararlo si queremos. El problema es que nadie demuestra interés en eso. Porque además hemos hecho cosas peores aún con nuestro sistema de distribución. Un daño irreparable e incurable. De modo que esta gente tendrá que morir para que nosotros nos conservemos sanos y comamos más de lo que necesitamos.—Y estemos ocupados ganando dinero.Palmer levantó la vista para ver a Curtis que regresaba a su asiento.—Eso se sobreentiende —dijo secamente.Las palabras de Palmer suenan tan siniestras como actuales.Entre Palmer y la familia Staeli se desarrolla una secreta partida de ajedrez, con mucho espionaje cruzado y un renovado romance entre Margit y Burris, que ya se conocían. El desenlace se acelera con la utilización de calculadoras electrónicas que funcionan como aparatos de filtración de conversaciones, manejados desde Japón. Una vez más queda claro que la ambición de poder siempre necesitará obtener, legal o ilegalmente, la información necesaria para tomar decisiones. Lo que uno teme es que la tecnología quizás evolucionó demasiado desde la publicación de esta novela, aumentando su capacidad de ser manipulada. Los Palmer de ahora están más cerca de conseguir sus objetivos. Full Article AD MIS COMENTARIOS AU LESLIE WALLER ED POMAIRE GE NOVELA

La mafia presta ayuda a actos terroristas del IRA en Estados Unidos a cambio de que se facilite cobertura a sus negocios ilegales en Inglaterra.Frank DiGenero es el agente del FBI —y a la vez nieto de un capo mafioso— que descubre la información crucial que da al traste con la alianza. La muerte de su esposa al estallar un coche-bomba hace vacilar la profesionalidad de DiGenero que está a punto de dejarse arrastrar a una «vendetta» de puro estilo mafioso.El autor incorpora al relato de «Hermano de los dragones» la insuperable autenticidad que le procura su condición de experto en la materia con detalles sorprendentes de los «trucos de oficio» que recrea con extremada minuciosidad. El resultado es una novela real y convincente de crimen, intriga y venganza.

no SHINOBI BLU By spyvibe.blogspot.com Published On :: Fri, 03 May 2024 20:33:00 +0000 New release: The classic Shinobi no Mono films coming to Blu-ray from Radiance films! While American viewers in the mid-60s saw the Bond-infused western series The Wild Wild West, fans in Japan were already riding a long wave of historical espionage-assassin stories that were popularized in serialized novels (starting in 1960). The Shinobi no Mono film adaptations began in 1962 and three titles are included in the upcoming box set. From the press release: "It’s the 16th century and Japan is in chaos. Samurai clans engage each other in battle over who gets to rule the nation, while warlords call upon the ninja to spy on and assassinate their rivals. Goemon, an ambitious young member of a ninja family, is thrown into the turmoil of Japanese history when his village is wiped out by the forces of leading warlord Oda Nobunaga, who has sworn to eradicate the ninja in his quest for absolute power. Fueled by vengeance, Goemon uses every weapon in his arsenal to bring down Oda and to prove that a ninja is an army of one. Starring 'the Japanese James Dean' Raizo Ichikawa (Sleepy Eyes of Death, Conflagration) alongside Tomisaburo Wakayama (Lone Wolf and Cub, the Bounty Hunter trilogy) and Ayako Wakao (Elegant Beast, Red Angel), the Shinobi series was an epoch-making success and became a social phenomenon that left deep marks on Japan of the 1960s, from children’s playgrounds to the leftist counter-culture.

PRICE: JUST $12.99. Just pay with Paypal or your Credit Card, download and watch full screen on your PC or MAC. This 84 minute video delivers the skills you need to weather storms with confidence. If you like the preview, buy the DVD. It's the next best thing to having Lin and Larry Pardey onboard, coaching you on storm tactics as the seas build and the rigging howls. Closing in on 200,000 miles of blue water voyaging, Lin and Larry Pardey are recognized as the sailing world's most experienced and knowledgeable cruising couple. In Storm Tactics, they provide a detailed look at the techniques and gear that have kept them safe at sea. "... I wanted to show how the sailor's safety valve--heaving-to-works, and the slick it creates. It's hard for people to imagine the almost magic effect of a slick as it saps the power of breaking waves...." - Larry Pardey. "One of the reasons I wanted to sail east-to-west around Cape Horn was to take video shots proving that small vessels can safely weather storms if they are well outfitted and efficiently handled," Larry Pardey stated after his record-breaking voyage. Lin and Larry completed their against-the-wind rounding of the Great Southern Capes on board their engineless 29-foot Taleisin, weathering nine days of storm-force winds to reach Puerto Montt in Chile. There they interviewed several high-latitude voyagers, prepared the narrative, and shot further detailed footage to complete the Storm Tactics video, a project Lin and Larry conceived almost ten years ago.

Price: $20.65. Modern methods of heaving-to for survival in extreme conditions. As in the first two editions of this book, Lin and Larry describe their concerns about the tendency of modern sailors to discard the classic methods used to bring sailing vessels of all sizes—from vast clipper ships to tiny yachts—through amazingly strong winds and heavy seas. “There is only one storm tactic that has the ability to sap the power of breaking seas,” they explain. With clear and concise diagrams, they proceed to show how heaving-to works and how even the most modern of yachts can be made to heave-to, whether with only sail power or with the assistance of a sea anchor. http://www.thesailingchannel.tv/pardey/pardey_books/books/storm_tactics_handbook.htm Mario Vittone, a U.S. Coast Guard rescue swimmer for 14 years, in an unsolicited testimony, wrote: “I have been on several rescues (and heard of many more) that would have been completely unnecessary if the sailboat captains aboard would have . . . practiced the skills taught by Lin and Larry Pardey. Not knowing how to heave-to in bad weather is as inexcusable as not knowing ‘red, right, return’.” HandBook 3rd Ed.: DVD / HANDBOOK COMBO Purchase the Storm Tactics video and the newly revised companion 256 page Handbook 3rd Ed. at http://www.thesailingchannel.tv/pardey/storm_tactics.

Share their memories of campfire evenings with Kalahari Bushmen, life in a sculptors' commune in Zimbabwe's northern reaches, and days of animal-watching at waterholes far from game reserves. Then voyage onward with them to Brazil, and see how two 14-year-old passengers led them into a unique, eight-month-long island encounter with nine Brazilian families who dreamed of their own off shore adventures. Finally, sail north through the Atlantic to Ireland's music-filled shores and a summer of history, classic sailing, and friendship.

No Time To Die, directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga and starring Craig, Rami Malek, Léa Seydoux, Lashana Lynch, Ana de Armas, Jeffrey Wright, Ralph Fiennes, Naomie Harris, Ben Whishaw, Billy Magnussen, David Dencik, and Rory Kinnear, opens in the U.S. on April 8, 2020.
