What ever happened to the likely lads? por Patrick Tilley

Patrick Tilley, What ever happened to the likely lads? London : British Broadcasting Corporation, 1974, Paperback. Fell open at page 50, brilliant: 'It seems sad when you realise the only way people can tell the difference between you and everyone else is by the colour of your curtains'. On this occasion Thelma and Bob are having mauve and seaweed green instead of yellow.

Across the Universe [Blu-ray] por Julie Taymor

You can view again and again, lots of special features.

FROM SONY PICTURES: DRAMA, MUSIC/DANCE, ROMANCE
Across the Universe, from director Julie Taymor, is a revolutionary rock musical that re-imagines America in the turbulent late-1960s, a time when battle lines were being drawn at home and abroad. When young dockworker Jude (Jim Sturgess) leaves Liverpool to find his estranged father in America, he is swept up by the waves of change that are re-shaping the nation. Jude falls in love with Lucy (Evan Rachel Wood), a rich but sheltered American girl who joins the growing anti-war movement in New York's Greenwich Village. As the body count in Vietnam rises, political tensions at home spiral out of control and the star-crossed lovers find themselves in a psychedelic world gone mad. With a cameo by Bono, Across the Universe is "the kind of movie you watch again, like listening to a favorite album." (Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES)… (más)

Three Helpings of Porridge por Dick Clement

Porridge was a British television sitcom which ran from 1974 to 1977; followed by a feature film and a spin-off show. Novelizations of those original shows were published based on Dick Clement & Ian La Frenais's scripts. Three Helpings of Porridge is an omnibus edition of these novelizations (Porridge, Another Stretch of Porridge & A Further Stir of Porridge).
As you can perhaps tell from this convoluted description this isn't an ideal introduction to the highly regarded comedy; third-hand porridge at best. Seek out the DVD or the original scripts instead.… (más)

Ограбление на Бейкер-Стрит / The Bank Job por Роджер Дональдсон

Фильм основан на реальных событиях, происходивших в Великобритании в 1971 году. После 35 лет забвения мы наконец узнаем об одном из самых легендарных ограблений банка в истории Великобритании, когда не было произведено ни одного ареста и не было найдено ни малейшего следа похищенных денег.

Налёт на банк на Бейкер Стрит был инициирован высокопоставленными официальными лицами, пытающимися добраться до заветной банковской ячейки, в которой хозяйка одного из известнейших борделей Лондона хранила секретную информацию. Теперь запрет на разглашение информации об этом ограблении снят британским правительством, и перед нами открывается красочная, лихо закрученная история, полная тайн, сюрпризов и неожиданных поворотов.
В ролях: Джейсон Стэтхэм, Саффрон Берроуз, Стефен Кэмпбелл Мур, Дэниэл Мейс, Джеймс Фолкнер… (más)
