Dvds Look Grainy In Blu Ray Player

That jockey of 1964


di autore ignoto

L'anno è molto probabilmente il 1964 e fantino e cavallo sono i vincitori del "Palio" di Castellammare del Golfo. Sul palio, come trofei aggiuntivi, le mitiche "lenzuola", le gigantesche diecimila lire.
C'era già stato il 15° festival della canzone siciliana all'Arena delle Rose. Era già arrivata la pubblicità della Coca Cola.

Using A Phone Card On A Roshan Phone

Herzog strikes again ! Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call: New Orleans

New film by Werner Herzog who has had a European distribution, before arriving in theaters in England. I state that I have not seen "Bad Lieutenant" in Abel Ferrara, 1992, and not lighthouse 'comparisons here. This is always a corrupt police lieutenant who find themselves on the wrong side of the road and yield to all tentazioni.Per this film, Werner Herzog has chosen as the lead actor Nicolas Cage. And if the actor fetticio and its 'been a long time, the late Klaus Kinski, with whom he created masterpieces such as Aguirre, the Wrath of God, Nosferatu the Vampyre, Woyzeck and Fitzcarraldo colossal, and not least' the Herzog-Cage collaboration. Cage has the same penetrating gaze Kinski that in a moment from innocence to more puo'mutare 'folly. As is well known, Nicolas Cage is not 'known for his wise choice of films in which to act, perhaps driven by a greed' rather than an economic choice of a path of quality and when it happens in the hands of the wrong director for the worst if. But when it happens in the right hands, can 'give the poignant performance by Oscar Wild at Heart David Lynch's masterpiece Mike Figgis: Leaving Las Vegas Mike Figgis and one of the masterpieces of Martin Scorsese: Bringing Out the Dead. Last on the list in his masterly interpretation of Bad Lieutenant Herzog. History and 'to Terrence McDonagh (Nicolas Cage), a without moral character dependent on drugs, drugs, and to succumb to his game that needs first tries to bribe his colleagues and then join the local mafia. Enters the equation a alcoholic family and his love for a local prostitute played by Eva Mendez. Terrence but not forgotten in all this frenzy of psychotropic pursue its investigation, although with difficulty 'and with luck will succeed' to change all the tables from negative into positive, to solve the case to be promoted to captain, to captain dishonest. Nicolas Cage is able to deceive anyone with his duplicity between the image of good and bad, sometimes it can 'to tear a tear of emotion, and immediately after us the creeps with its hysterical laughter, the sudden violence of his gestures and the anger of his inhuman eyes. The film, with Herzog, and 'found to be studded with brilliant, as characters and improbable situations, and the staging of Altered States of Lieutenant (the inguana it takes to stage a table or a piece of a corpse suddenly breakdance) . It 's a film without a moment's respite, and even if you touch hard topics such as the corrupt police, the Mafia, gambling, drugs and prostitution, which for many of us is a world apart, Herzog manages to make us participate and make understand that the way the edge is not 'far away for any of us. Just as a gesture provide help to someone and our lives could lead us on the path of evil as it was for Terrence. In the final scene the lieutenant, now captain Terrence finds himself in front of an aquarium in the company of the prisoner in the opening scene he has saved from the water and broke his back. A Christian and heroic act for which to treat his pain had to start taking Vicodin and other drugs, a Christian and heroic act that led him to dive into the "waters of evil." The waters of the evil of drugs and crime in which he now and 'submerged and that fish which now survives as noted, that fish can swim in the waters more' deep without drowning, but they must be immersed in water for survive.

Types Of Sunfish And Where You Can Find Them

Fottuti Pulsanti! - Fuck Buttons - Koko - London - 20/04/09

was the last London concert of Sunn 0))), then for almost four months, I have not seen a concert so exciting. The impression of being in the moment and the right place and with the right music. I Fuck Buttons, the "fuck buttons" style and have a fucking book.
Tonight, elegant Koko, the Fuck Buttons are supported by the Factory Floor, a trio of Hackney, a suburb east of London. The first time I heard the Factory Floor was one of a scrum and a passage of a rugby match in Parigi.Certamente a group on the lips of French music connoisseurs.
A set completely in the dark. A rhythm section impressive. A battery that supports the hypnotic rhythm of the sticks obsessively hammering a bass guitar, all supported by keyboards and electronic devices. The music is pretty glacial, the sounds' are dark-post-new wave. We find the atmosphere of Joy Division, Cabaret Voltaire and Fall and even some of the 70 experimental krautrock. I have faint memories of the parties rather voocali, the music certainly makes mistress.
I Fuck Buttons: Andrew Hung and Benjamin John Power, timidly appear on stage. The opposite one another in the middle of a giant disco ball that reflects and diffuses light throughout the room. A very diverse public. Teenagers in the front row and some in the ranks over 30 behind. The music starts up and then beat us to a vortex at high volume. The people around me stare and start to dance iptonizzati lost in this groove electronics genius who no longer felt for some time. And the volume of salt and salt until almost messianic BJPower launches into a rhythm on a drum incredibly crazy. I am aware of using too many adjectives, in fact difficult to explain, we must see it to understand. Plan the bodies of more reluctant to allow themselves to be dancing and there 'even a few breaks in the early forties that file. Pressed hard in the scrum but then I realize that these intruders is a long needed a gig this level for too long, Perhaps the time of the concerts of ten to fifteen years ago by Aphex Twin or Autechre. But Fuck Buttons are also part of their generation, have the same energy of the French duo Justice, but in a more 'obscure and much less pop. This was followed by two pieces from their album "Sweet Love for Planet Earth" and "Surf Solar" in a long and joyous celebration. BJ Power and Andrew Hung are called up on stage twice. End their concert with a stunning version of "Sweet Love for Planet Earth." At the end of the concert the lights, the applause continued, faces full of wonder and happiness' around me. The sound of "Fuck Buttons" will be part of our unique world of sound for the coming years.
