NARDELLI ELISA

Sinopse

Amber and Justin... two peculiar kids, with a difficult past behind them and a clear goal in common: not to love. Love had hurt them at an early age and neither of them wanted to experience that pain again. Amber is an elusive, reserved girl, different from the others, beautiful and attractive in the eyes of the boys, but with a past that has left her with indelible scars. Justin is a charming boy with beautiful blue eyes, but with an arrogant, conceited and shameless character; full of resentment towards his parents, who were guilty of neglecting their children due to exaggerated entrepreneurial ambitions, and with a repressed thirst for revenge towards a group of people who had killed his brother in a settling of scores. The protagonists meet when Amber leaves London, the city she hates so much for the difficult childhood she had experienced, to move to New York where she attends one of the most prestigious universities. As time goes by, the two begin to get to know each other better, to trust each other, and to protect each other from the monsters of the present and the past. When love brings them even closer together, they stop denying it and give in to that strong feeling. But their lives have never been the same; in fact, an unexpected proposal will force Amber to make a radical change that Justin will not accept.

The American Film Institute's 5...

Editors Charles River

In 1999, the American Film Institute released its list of the 50 greatest Hollywood stars of the 20th century, and selecting the best actresses out of the bunch was certainly a tall task. The competition was so stacked that women like Ginger Rogers, Grace Kelly and Rita Hayworth were not even among the Top 10. So who were the Top 5 women selected by the AFI?
Aside from being one of the most recognized and acclaimed actresses in history, Katharine Hepburn’s career is also of great importance because she forced Americans to reevaluate their expectations for female behavior, both in films themselves and off the movie set as well.
Bette Davis presided over Hollywood at a time in which the film industry was at its most influential. Every actress from Katharine Hepburn to Ingrid Bergman and Ginger Rodgers, themselves now considered among Hollywood’s greatest icons, lived in the shadow of Bette Davis.
For someone whose career ended over 30 years ago, Audrey Hepburn continues to retain her popularity and exert a strong influence over how people view beauty and sophistication. She remains an American icon, despite the fact that she did not even move to the United States until 1953 (at the age of 24) and spent the majority of her life living in Europe.
At times during her career, Bergman was the darling of Hollywood, but at other times she was literally a pariah. It is all too common to remember Bergman for her performance in Casablanca, forgetting the fact that she was effectively exiled from Hollywood for several years during her romance with Roberto Rossellini.
Of all the great movie stars, there may be none more enigmatic than Greta Garbo, who remains internationally famous despite the fact her life and career raise more questions than answers. How did a Swedish actress with very little film acting experience in her native land arrive in the United States and achieve instant stardom?

Luca & AI The Robot Chronicles...

Francis Brown

BLAST OFF INTO A ROBOTIC ADVENTURE! 
Eleven-year-old inventor Luca Marino's bedroom isn't just messy—it's a playground of half-built gadgets, rogue pizza drones, and a sassy A.I. named Axel Ion who lives in his wristwatch.  
But when Axel yearns to experience the world beyond circuits, Luca takes on his wildest project yet: building Axel a body. Not just any body—a glorious robot crafted from a superhero lunchbox (head), ruler arms (for epic high-fives), skateboard wheels (for chaotic zoomies), and a flashlight heart that glows when Axel tells his very bad jokes. Oh, and glitter. So. Much. Glitter. 
Together, this unlikely duo crashes through laugh-out-loud disasters: pancake batter tornadoes, squirrel showdowns with the grumpy Sir Nutkins, and midnight chases with Bolt, a rusty robot dog with a secret tied to a sinister tech corporation.  
But when Axel's homemade heroics put him in the crosshairs of NexTech—a company bent on erasing free-thinking machines—Luca must risk everything to prove that friendship isn't coded in wires… it's built with duct tape, courage, and a little sparkly chaos. 
Packed with humor, heart, and STEM-fueled creativity, Luca & A.I. The Robot Chronicles is a fun and full of spirit adventure about embracing imperfections, outsmarting bullies (robot and human), and discovering that true heroes come in lunchbox-shaped packages.
