		Tamara Drewe - Trailer Added: Sep 3, 2010 Based on Posy Simmonds’ beloved graphic novel of the same name (which was itself inspired by Thomas Hardy’s classic Far From the Madding Crowd) this wittily modern take on the romantic English pastoral is a far cry from Hardy’s Wessex. Tamara Drewe’s present–day English countryside—stocked with pompous writers, rich weekenders, bourgeois bohemians, a horny rock star, and a great many Buff Orpington chickens and Belted Galloway cows—is a much funnier place. When Tamara Drewe sashays back to the bucolic village of her youth, life for the locals is thrown upside down. Tamara—once an ugly duckling—has been transformed into a devastating beauty (with help from plastic surgery). As infatuations, jealousies, love affairs and career ambitions collide among the inhabitants of the neighboring farmsteads, Tamara sets a contemporary comedy of manners into play using the oldest magic in the book—sex appeal Share: Facebook Twitter
		Life As We Know It - Trailer Added: Sep 3, 2010 Holly Berenson (Katherine Heigl) is an up and coming caterer and Eric Messer (Josh Duhamel) is a promising network sports director. After a disastrous first date, the only thing they have in common is their dislike for each other and their love for their goddaughter, Sophie. But when they suddenly become all Sophie has in the world, Holly and Messer are forced to put their differences aside. Juggling career ambitions and competing social calendars, they'll have to find some common ground while living under one roof. Share: Facebook Twitter
		Barry Munday - Clip Added: Aug 31, 2010 Barry Munday, a suburban wanna–be ladies man, wakes up in the hospital after being attacked in a movie theater, only to realize that he is missing one of his most prized possessions– his testicles. To make matters worse, Barry learns he's facing a paternity lawsuit filed by a woman he can't remember having sex with. With this being Barry’s last chance to ever be a father, Barry reaches out and embraces the journey of parenthood and the onslaught of bumps that face him along the way. Filled with an ensemble of unusual characters, "Barry Munday" is the surprisingly heart–warming tale of a guy who finds it took losing his manhood to be a better man. Share: Facebook Twitter
		Inside Job - Trailer Added: Aug 30, 2010 From Academy Award® nominated filmmaker, Charles Ferguson (“No End In Sight”), comes INSIDE JOB, the first film to expose the shocking truth behind the economic crisis of 2008. The global financial meltdown, at a cost of over $20 trillion, resulted in millions of people losing their homes and jobs. Through extensive research and interviews with major financial insiders, politicians and journalists, INSIDE JOB traces the rise of a rogue industry and unveils the corrosive relationships which have corrupted politics, regulation and academia. Narrated by Academy Award® winner Matt Damon, INSIDE JOB was made on location in the United States, Iceland, England, France, Singapore, and China. Share: Facebook Twitter
		Mesrine - Film Clip Added: Aug 27, 2010 MESRINE: KILLER INSTINCT – the first of 2 parts– charts the outlaw odyssey of Jacques Mesrine (Vincent Cassel), the legendary French gangster of the 1960s and 1970s who came to be known as French Public Enemy No. 1 and The Man of a Thousand Faces. Infamous for his bravado and outrageously daring prison escapes, Mesrine carried out numerous robberies, kidnappings and murders in a criminal career that spanned continents until he was shot dead in 1979 by France's notorious anti–gang unit. Thirty years after his death, his infamy lives on. Mesrine was helped along the way by beautiful and equally reckless Jeanne Schneider (Cecile de France), a Bonnie to match his Clyde. Mesrine made up his own epic, between romanticism and cruelty, flamboyance and tragedy. Both a thriller and a biopic, KILLER INSTINCT explores the man behind the icon. In MESRINE: PUBLIC ENEMY No. 1 the story continues Mesrine's incredible life of crime while manipulating the media, the government and the police. He plans his last and greatest escape, hoping to leave France, and the character he has become, behind forever. Share: Facebook Twitter
		Decade of Disturbed - Trailer Added: Aug 27, 2010 Why has Disturbed persevered for over a decade as the entire face of the music industry has shifted and changed, resulting in so many bands they came up with dropping off, and falling by the wayside? Because, through years of countless tours, dedication & sacrifice, and the delivery of four critically acclaimed albums, Disturbed created a very unique fan base, all of which was born with the Sickness. This feature documentary, made with the band's close collaboration, tracks their amazing story. Share: Facebook Twitter
		127 Hours - Teaser Added: Aug 24, 2010 127 HOURS is the new film from Danny Boyle, the Academy Award winning director of last year’s Best Picture, SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE. 127 HOURS is the true story of mountain climber Aron Ralston’s (James Franco) remarkable adventure to save himself after a fallen boulder crashes on his arm and traps him in an isolated canyon in Utah. Over the next five days Ralston examines his life and survives the elements to finally discover he has the courage and the wherewithal to extricate himself by any means necessary, scale a 65 foot wall and hike over eight miles before he is finally rescued. Throughout his journey, Ralston recalls friends, lovers (Clemence Poesy), family, and the two hikers (Amber Tamblyn and Kate Mara) he met before his accident. Will they be the last two people he ever had the chance to meet? A visceral thrilling story that will take an audience on a never before experienced journey and prove what we can do when we choose life. Share: Facebook Twitter
		Fair Game - Trailer Added: Aug 24, 2010 A suspense-filled glimpse into the dark corridors of political power, FAIR GAME is a riveting action-thriller based on the autobiography of real-life undercover CIA operative VALERIE PLAME (Naomi Watts), whose career was destroyed and marriage strained to its limits when her covert identity was exposed by a politically motivated press leak. As a covert officer in the CIA’s Counter-Proliferation Division, Valerie leads an investigation into the existence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Valerie’s husband, diplomat JOE WILSON (Sean Penn), is drawn into the investigation to substantiate an alleged sale of enriched uranium from Niger. But when the administration ignores his findings and uses the issue to support the call to war, Joe writes a New York Times editorial outlining his conclusions and ignites a firestorm of controversy.

		I'm Still Here - Trailer Added: Aug 24, 2010 The directorial debut of Oscar-nominated actor Casey Affleck, I’M STILL HERE is a striking portrayal of a tumultuous year in the life of internationally acclaimed actor Joaquin Phoenix. With remarkable access, I’M STILL HERE follows the Oscar-nominee as he announces his retirement from a successful film career in the fall of 2008 and sets off to reinvent himself as a hip hop musician. Sometimes funny, sometimes shocking, and always riveting, the film is a portrait of an artist at a crossroads.

		Triple Dog - Trailer Added: Aug 24, 2010 The story follows a group of teenage girls on the night of a sleepover as they venture out in a competitive game of challenging dares called “Triple Dog”, led by ringleader Chapin (Brittany Robertson).

Πάρνηθα, 2 χρόνια μετά την καταστροφή

Savvas Konstantinidis — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 15:16:57 +0000

Ραγισε η καρδια μου σήμερα, οταν ανεβαινοντας προς το χώρο αναψυχής “Μόλα” στη Πάρνηθα, αντικρύσαμε για πρώτη φορά την καταστροφή απο την πυρκαγιά του 2008. Απογυμνωμένές πλαγιές, εκεί που πριν απο δυο μολις χρόνια το πράσινο έπνιγε το βουνό. “Σκελετωμένοι” κορμοι αραδιασμένοι παντου, σαν λειψανα μιας άνισης μάχης μεταξυ ανθρώπου και φυσης.

Ειναι αποκαρδιωτικο να το βλεπεις απο κοντά, αλλα και οι εικόνες ειναι αρκετές για να θυμισουν σε ολους μας την καταστροφή αυτη.

Θα περάσουν πολλά χρόνια για να ξαναφουντωσουν σε αυτα τα βουνά τα δάση που μεσα σε λιγες ώρες μονο, τοσο εύκολα εξαφανιστηκαν.

Ακόμη και η παλια καφετέρια στην κορυφή της Πάρνηθας, παρατημενη και ερειπωμενη πια, προφανως αφου δεν δεχεται πια επισκεπτες.

Οι εικονες που ακολουθουν μιλουν καλύτερα απο τα λογια μου.

Για “κύμα προσφορών” κάνουν λόγο “τα Νέα”. Πως σας φαίνεται;

Savvas Konstantinidis — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 14:58:17 +0000

Σε προηγουμενο μας αρθρο αναφεραμε την προσπαθεια της επιχειρησης “Groupon.gr” να προσφερει προιοντα και υπηρεσιες σε καταναλωτες σε πολυ συμφερουσες τιμες δινοντας ταυτοχρονα και ωθηση σε πολλες επιχειρησεις.

Σημερα διαβαζουμε στην εφημεριδα “τα Νέα” οτι και πολλες αλλες ιδιωτικες επιχειρησεις προτιθενται να κανουν διαφορων ειδων προσφορες κατα τον μηνα Σεπτεμβριο, στην προσπαθεια τους να τονωσουν τον τζιρο τους ειδικα μετα απο ενα απογοητευτικο εμπορικα καλοκαιρι.

Τι πραγματικη αξια ομως εχουν ολα αυτα για τον καθενα απο εμας; Μπορουμε πραγματικα να εποφεληθουμε; Υπαρχει χρημα για να κυκλοφορησει; Υπαρχει θαρρος για να ξοδευτει; Υπαρχει αισιοδοξια;

Και πανω απο ολα, ειναι πραγματικες προσφορες ή ειναι απλως “κραχτες” μονο και μονο για να μας “βαλουν μεσα στο μαγαζι τους”;

Εσας ποια ειναι η αποψη σας; ποιες ειναι οι εμπειριες σας; απαντηστε στα σχολια που ακολουθουν.
