Brazilian Market In Jacksonville Florida

The Revenge of Count Skarbek - BD by Yves Sente and Grzegorz Rosinski

Image hébergée par servimg.com

A very strange character appeared in the highly closed Parisian art dealers ... His name is Mieszko Skarbek, and he claims to hold more than one hundred paintings by Paulus Louis, dead for over ten years in strange circumstances. Northbook art dealer with whom the painter had signed an exclusive contract, discusses dismal counterfeits. But who is Skarbek and what does he want? It that the reader will learn in a spectacular trial in which the Count Skarbek seems determined to repair the honor of Louis Baffou Paulus, demanding compensation outrageous ...



*** First, I think it would be inappropriate to talk about comic strips for a work of this kind. Each box is a real gem, both in terms of design as beautiful colors, which could compete with major Impressionist works ... There is something in the strength of the design that recalls Turner's watercolors or Constable, or certain Monet. The line and color are finally aligned to the context of history, and its main character, who remains the enigma full of this work.
level visual and expressive, The Revenge of Count Skarbek is an undeniable success, almost non-standard in the landscape bédésite.
For the scenario, very convoluted, especially devious, a real nod to Dumas and the Count of Monte Cristo, I could not help but be skeptical about the vicissitudes of the main characters standing. The world is black, and probably full of flaws, certainly, but do display in the absolute minimum action, it seems quite outrageous. This is a beautiful work, intelligent and very dark, which is amply sufficient to itself, but the scenes and light depraved mores of most women present in this book are entirely too many. They are uncomfortable when they appear, which is my biggest disappointment about this book.
characters on them (male, he is), are well scrubbed, worked in a beautifully ... expressive beyond all imagination.
A large flat, again on the treatment of characters female, very unflattering, which frankly was not necessary, and can seem almost degrading. A current which is not so rare in the world of comics, and unfortunately found in a work that could flirt with perfection!

Sherlock Holmes and the Dangerous Sports Club

comic series "Baker Street" Barral and Veys, Tome 2
Issued Delcourt

Image hébergée par servimg.com

This time Sherlock Holmes and his sidekick Dr. Watson are asked by the Inspector Lestrade of Scotland Yard to solve the bizarre murder of a member of the Dangerous Sports Club ...



*** How to summarize this excellent volume 2 of Barral and Veys, which connects the pearls satirical, offensive remarks, even iconoclasts? It seems very few that difficult to describe in simple sentences originality, humor of this comic, which remains without doubt one of the most brilliant pastiches and smarter than we could have done on the subject Holmesian.

Again, the detective seemed in complete inability to solve cases, Dr. Watson is threatening to leave the apartment 221b, Ms. Hudson always seems much concerned about the contents of bottles of whiskey, and Lestrade, head stuck in a helmet because of an allergy to kiwifruit, seems to determine cause a heart attack at Holmes in a deep depression ...

As you will understand, this is a silly survey (but ultimately not that much ...), where you regale your eyes to a box where you laugh to tears to dialogues terribly ironic and spicy, that bully for our greatest pleasure the two most eminent of Victorian literature ... !

Pilladas En La Clle Gratis

A new version of My Fair Lady in 2010!

It is now confirmed, after many rumors started on the net: Joe Wright will head the new adaptation of My Fair Lady, based on the play by George Bernard Shaw!

Personally, I can not but rejoice at such news, as a reminder, Joe Wright is the director of the magnificent Pride & Prejudice in 2005, and that of Atonment 2008, based on the novel by Ian McEwan.

The cast, Keira Knightley, fetish actress has been confirmed to reprise the role of Eliza Doolittle, played in 1964 by the beautiful Audrey Hepburn .

For the role of the "terrifying" linguist Henry Higgins, formerly played by Rex Harrison , no actor has so far been confirmed. Two names appear to stand out: those of Hugh Laurie and Daniel Craig.

It is worth mentioning that this adaptation is indeed the musical and not part of Shaw's original, which is unfortunate because the lumber totally self-sufficient to itself ...

Wait & see ... !

Sarah Englewood, young English woman newly arrived in Paris, is hired as governess for Simon Bloomberg, a strange psychiatrist residing in the Rue Mazarine. Making use of revolutionary methods, the physician is widely disputed by his colleagues, who consider his theories senseless and dangerous.
The house in the Rue Mazarine, in which Sarah now lives, to the maze fanciful architecture, has on the young woman who is both a fascination and extreme disorder. It also seems that Bloomberg's wife has been missing for weeks without a trace.
This event says it itself the strange behavior of alienation?
***
Purchased at random from the fine collection of the Great Detective 10-18, the mortuary turns out to be a thriller with an excellent bill. This first novel in the series of alienation (no relation to that of Caleb Carr), is a marvel of suspense, intrigue intelligent and original, which keeps the reader spellbound from first to the last line.
The characters are extremely well constructed, the police inspector disillusioned young English governess to the character pretty well soaked, through the strange jeopardizes the psychiatrist.
charismatic character, disturbing, haunted by demons that the reader fears will arise at any time, it deumeure alone and beyond the plot, one of the great enigmas this first volume. Doctor controversial, as was Freud's character which no doubt inspired in large part, Bloomberg alternates moments of kindness, abatement or numbness that leaves the reader full of questions and anxiety.
The atmosphere of this novel is distinguished not only by the influence of this labyrinthine house on its inhabitants, but also by the inhabitants themselves, who gradually begin to wonder if they will not have a similar fate patients to Bloomberg, which oscillate dangerously between psychoticism and schizophrenia.
The mere presence of the character of Sarah Englewood happily gives a touch a little appeased and reasoned in this world so unstable ...
A disturbing novel and devilishly effective, which continues with Volume "The Hand of Glory" already published by 10-18.
Read!

Where To Buy Baking Ingredients In Tokyo

Beatles Lars Christensen Saabye

Image hébergée par servimg.com

Ola, Kim, Gunnar and Seb are four inseparable friends; four lives punctuated by the hits of the Beatles, their idols, four young people in Norway to the sixties where there blows a wind of revolution and uncertainty ...

Beatles book is quite disconcerting. It alternates a paradoxically pleasurable moments and carefree, with moments of vulgarity that are an anachronism who spoil and contextual strictly speaking, the tone light and fresh narration.

The escapades of four young boys are spread over a range variable, ranging from extreme sympathy of their youth, the excesses of their murky and unhealthy adulthood ... Even if one can accuse the time recounting of exert a significant influence on the disappointments of a generation in full melancholy, it clearly does not explain everything. The aim is obviously to bully the reader to appreciate wanderings disillusioned, whose importance is more than random.

It is difficult to say whether or not you come out satisfied that reading. The overall opinion is thus found, the image of the subject, full of ambiguities.

How Hack Random Dungion Wow

Peter Ibbetson (1935)

Film 1935, directed by Henry Hathaway (USA)

Based on the novel by George Du Maurier "Peter Ibbetson"

Image hébergée par servimg.com

With Gary Cooper (Peter Ibbetson), Ann Harding (Mary, Duchess of Towers), John Halliday (Duke of Towers), Ida Lupino (Agnes), Virginia Weidler (Mimsey Mary to 6 years), Dickie Moore (Gogo-Peter to 6 years).

Peter Ibbetson, a young architect in volatile temperament, is sent from the Duke of Towers to renovate its dependencies. He met his wife, Mary, and immediately binds friendship with her, despite their many differences.
The young man thinks to find in her reminiscences of her childhood sweetheart, Mimsey, which he had been separated for over 20 years ago.

***



Peter Ibbetson, before being a movie, is a novel by George du Maurier (grandfather of Daphne), the author of Trilby - novel famous across the Channel - famous for inspiring, they say, The Phantom of the Opera Gaston Leroux ... Peter Ibbetson experienced a much more modest success, while Trilby was acclaimed by critics and readers (and was the subject of a stage adaptation that ran for many years). On a very personal view, I think the novels of George du Maurier have enough trouble passing the test of time. If the frames are beautiful, you can blame the pen getting lost in the details of low importance, which tend to anarchist story structure. We must let them they are filled with humor rather ahead of its time, but the tone, if he wants removed , robs the story of his somewhat serious and thus its credibility.

The film that made Henry Hathaway in 1935, although it contains the essential elements of the work focuses on the true about never getting lost. The story traces the fate indeed Mimsey and Gogo, reared together in Paris in 1850, then forcibly separated after the death of the boy's mother. Party in England, Peter alias Gogo will never return to Paris and will never see Mimsey, although he had promised him one day to come and look ... Peter is haunted, more than 20 years later by the memory of this brutal separation, and is inhabited by a feeling of isolation, loneliness and almost guilty, who continues as a burning obsession. The death of his mother, his departure from France, the separation from her childhood friend, as many rifts that make Peter Ibbetson a being broken.
It is a romantic, but not in a pejorative sense: it is dark, even unstable, full of contradictions. In short, the character has largely expanded to its adaptation to the screen ... Gary Cooper, is expected shortly in a book as particular, had probably been there one of the best roles of his impressive career.

His meeting with Mary, Duchess of Towers, suddenly it dissipates all the torments that connect to his childhood ... Just because Mary is the symbol of his lost childhood.
Ann Harding, a distinguished, determined, but a splendid sweetness, interprets his role to perfection. A set of unadorned beauty and delicacy and elegance that remain etched in the mind ... The character of Mary-Mimsey is not an ingenue, naive and passive, as we can both find romance in the frames. The strength and emotion combine with a touching simplicity in this figure, which remains a model of stability and courage throughout his tragic fate. An honest soul, alive, and yet haunted by a tragic sense of abandonment which the viewer has unfortunately a short preview ...

Changes scriptwriting (the intervention of the Duke of Towers in the plot, which limits the dispersion of the characters and the action), reinforces the dreamlike universe of this film is its element The most unconventional and stronger. A work which is much point of view very singular and rather ahead of its time.

added that photography, almost expressionist, this film brings a simple beauty that accompanies the story perfectly.
