What Happens In A Sorority Initation

Code: Genesis, or the 'Apocalypse slow

A lazy Sunday afternoon can turn into a covert accomplice of unfortunate choices. And for this, we introduced ourselves to buy two cinema tickets for the 'latest work by Denzel Washington, the post-apocalyptic film of Genesis Code Hughes brothers.

History, is a road movie that takes place thirty winters after the nuclear war that has made the earth and almost uninhabited desert. Ours is Eli, a curious wanderer, who in his journey to the west, hemin makes its way all the brutes who crowd his path. A bit like Kenshiro , silense and relentless fighter, seems troubled by his destiny as a warrior.

Well, Eli is on the road for thirty years in a dangerous world and we do not know why. Indeed, after forty minutes, they begin to weigh as much as six decades of traveling Denzel, you begin to understand. A voice of his unconscious asked him to walk and get the book that he keeps and who reads every day, in a place where this book will be useful for a new beginning. The book, do not think I reveal no secret, is the Bible, the last remaining copy and it was not burned by the survivors after the 'holocaust of nuclear war.

On his way, also in search of the book because of its potential for control over the (hypothetical) masses, even the villain of the film, Gary Oldman. Inevitable confrontation and is obviously not going to tell you the result.

whole film is shot (I do not know the name of the technique) with the colors just mentioned, almost in black and white and this helps to make even more claustrophobic the unfolding of the plot. The assembly of

scene then, alternating fast-paced fighting (Hong Kong style) shots at times slow and complacent (style auteur German) and I confess this, confusion is likely to send in a simple soul like mine. Confusion which then turns into rancorous drowsiness, which generates a post like this to discourage genuine vision.

Perhaps there is more than a citation for those western movies 60/70 years, some a little psychedelic spaghetti-western, that having now tear and a smile makes you say "but look at these, that courage," but in my humble view, this is not enjoyable enough to make the projection. Film

slow and without a reason. With Washington and Oldman could do much better.

Altai, The Return of Wu Ming

Back Wu Ming, the team of the Bolognese writers jumped to the headlines with the literary event of 1999, the historical novel "Q", set in Germany of the Reformation. And it does settling in this new story in the same period, the sixteenth century, who had already explored in their successful debut.

Altai is a novel that tells of the war in Cyprus, which he saw as opposed to the Republic of Venice and 'Empire of the Ottoman Sultan Selim II. This conflict is seen, however, a third perspective, and that is to say that the Jews to 'era found hospitality by the Sultan (and of course, they were hunted and persecuted by other powers).

The protagonists, Youssef and Emanuele Nasi De Zante from Jews are in fact two very different stories. Rich, educated and always dedicated to the cause of his people, the first devoted his life to finding a promised land for their people.

The second one has a past as a Christian convert and minion of the Serenissima. The betrayal by a high funzonario Venetian has made him a fugitive, and Youssef Nasi, who was recalled to Istanbul, it then reverts to its cultural roots and will make his right arm.

War of Cyprus said. Nasi generously funding the 'company of the Sultan and gets to become king of the land when it will be conquered. He plans to make the new Zion, a place to welcome the Jewish people and anyone in the world will suffer discrimination. We are witnessing the operations of such building, to be born dreams of freedom, the horrors of war and the disappointments of history.

It 's a difficult book but it reads well, the theme is interesting and the prospect said, original. In short, a nice comeback after the partial eclipse of Manituana (summary trial, is that I can not read beyond page 40 ...).

short, "Q" remains unmatched, but recommend it.

Help A Bubble On My Gums Above A Tooth What Is It

The hero George Ambrosoli bourgeois and the royalty RAI

After a long day at work I was going to go home and spread, helpless on the sofa. However, approaching home, I remembered that friends of the Democratic Base , had organized a meeting with Umberto Ambrosoli, criminal lawyer and son of 'lawyer George , liquidator of Banca Privata by Michele Sindona, who was murdered by a killer, 's July 11 of '79.

I had seen on television an interview with Ambrosoli during the presentation of his book "Whatever happens," which told the story of father and 'teaching that he has taken from his upstanding behavior.

short, the training "Ambrosoli - Civic Sense" has beaten the 'agguerritissima competitor Birrozzo Sofa and I diverted it to the library, paid for the' debate at this meeting.

As the dramatic story of George Ambrosoli, it's pretty far into the future, besides enough above, should make a quick summary of who he was, what he did and why he was killed, for use by younger and more lazy.

As mentioned, our charge was to settle this in '75 Private Bank, failing because of Sindona used to make a series of riding mostly illegal. Ambrosoli carried out his task with competence and integrity, in fact one against all, since the Sindona, contiguous to the Mafia, it also allowed all of these administrative ease foraging political parties. And so he paid with his life for his stubborn opposition to qualsasi arrangement that could put the offender in the saddle Sindona and download the community the cost of his wrongdoing.

Ambrosoli was a a bourgeois hero. A man "common" that he understood the role with a sense of duty and responsibility.

Umberto's son, to baby 'material time and now a criminal lawyer, makes the rounds of schools, cultural institutions and associations to tell the story of his father, to explain the remarkable normality of what he did and for us to reflect on the different levels of responsibilities that are in the case of criminal acts like this, attacks against the servants of the state.

With a serenity, optimism and balance for myself that I can only imagine talking about badminton or soil for the cultivation of cactus (it's hard to stay calm, telling responsibilities of the 'murder of your father), Umberto says that if the first responsibility of the' murder of his father obviously concerns the killers themselves, a second level is borne by the political actors, institutions and business groups that collude with these criminals or that we simply do business. Either that, out of cowardice, silent despite the 'moral obligation, if not institutional, report it.

Oh well, easy up here. The murderers are murderers, politicians said he was all big businessmen and ... well, better be omitted.

But Umberto, almost naive enthusiasm with a smile, go ahead and assign a different level of responsibility, perhaps the most significant, and it shall deliver its greatest teaching. He talks about the responsibility of society as a whole, a company that makes it "acceptable" to a murder as that of 'Ambrosoli lawyer, or as those of Carlo Alberto Dalla Chiesa and many others, too many common heroes. It makes it possible with his silence, with their passive acceptance of every injustice or imposition. It makes it possible because of itself does not consider the legality of an absolute and essential, so by passing an official integrity and zealous as a Martian even a little annoying. Expendable.
A society that does not angered by the audacity powerful. A society that is not questioned, that does not think for themselves about the facts that occur and that affect us all.

A society, in particular the Italian, who lives surrounded by a layer of newspapers and cunning circumvention of the law. How can we think that this society expresses itself better leaders? And if you read this, someone will think I am exaggerating, ask him to take count of how many friends you have not to pay the fee Rai, being equal the most odious is true, but that is why the test more reliable. one that you follow the rules, or six of those who choose to pay such taxes and that if you do not pay? The fee Rai will reveal a lot about you, what kind of government you deserve and how much responsibility for such tragedies. Similar to what you are certain characters who make and unmake laws, depending on your convenience.

the current game about my personal considerations, and certainly does not reflect the thought of Umberto Ambrosoli. Maybe.

Reviews pills for video rental (or the grooved SKY)

Here is a short series of tips for enjoying good movies or more probably to avoid dreadful rubbish.

Tropic Thunder (2008 Action Film, Ben Stiller)
For orphans of Derek Zoolander, but just those fundamentalist, was released in 2008 this action film, from comedy maddeningly surreal, so surreal that you rarely laughs. To uncritical followers.

District Nine (Sci-Fi Action Film 2009)

Genius? Disconcerting? Unconventional? Unexpected? Future object of worship? Boiata galactic?
There are films that can make one or more of these effects together and District Nine is open to different interpretations. It's worth a look for that interest. To see.


Barbarossa (2009 Historical Film, Rutger Hauer)
The attempt to represent a dramatic pathos of the characters most fascinating of the Middle Ages. Bad actors, dialogues worse than trivial, exaggerated scenes in economics (I hope) that return grotesque effects. Unwatchable.

Knowing (2009 Thriller Film, Nicolas Cage)
The story is reminiscent of "The library of the dead" best seller in the bookstore with no particular merit. Nicolone our pendant with bovine expression without adding a lot of pathos to the (alleged) science fiction thriller. If you hire a friend ...

The Girl Who Played with Fire (Film Noir 2009)
It 's the sequel to the film adaptation of the famous saga Millennium. The second book in my opinion is the most beautiful, but this movie seemed to me worse than the first. The main character (the sublime in the book) does not remember. Not at all.

L 'Ice Age 3 (Film d'animation 2009)
The first Ice Age was great. The second and the third episode of the wonderful adventures of the sloth Sid and related company in the odor of extinction is still enjoyable. Only exacerbated the feeling of exploitation of gags and situational success makes me think that in 'eventual (inevitable) the fourth episode, I augurerò that damn squirrel dies strangled by acorn! For the whole family.
