Sinossi

The holidays—that time between Thanksgiving and New Year's—jam more "together" time together than any other time during the year. And all that being together calls for movies to watch together to celebrate the season or movies to watch alone to survive the season. From such classics to enjoy as a family like A Christmas Story,It's a Wonderful Life, and Planes, Trains, and Automobiles to more offbeat films like Home for the Holidays (the Thanksgiving family reunion from hell) and Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale (an R-rated Santa Claus origin story crossed with The Thing), Roger Ebert's full-length reviews suggest a wide range of titles sure to please everyone on your list. Also included are thoughtful films like John Huston's rendering of James Joyce's The Dead, a poignant look at life and Joyeux Noel, based on the true story of a spontaneous cease-fire between German and Allied troops on Christmas Eve 1914. As a bonus, in the enhanced version, more than half of the reviews include a clip of the movie's trailer.

    'This is a book about how to beat the living daylights out of another human being safely...'
    
    
    
    
    Roger Bartlett – professional fight director and Master Teacher for the British Academy of Stage & Screen Combat – leads you through everything you need to know in order to create and perform unarmed stage fights that are compelling, realistic and, above all, safe.
    
    
    
    
    Starting with the essential concepts, including Victim Control and Reversal of Energy, you will learn how to perform all of the following moves:
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    - Slapping
    - Punching
    - Kicking
    
    
    - Strangling
    
    
    - Pulling and Pushing
    
    
    - Falling
    
    
    - Locking
    
    
    - Blocking
    
    
    
    
    Each technique is clearly described, extensively illustrated, and accompanied by online videos demonstrating it in slow motion and at full speed. Also included are chapters on understanding and conveying your character's pain, and creating and rehearsing your own fight sequence.
    
    
    
    
    For those already trained in stage combat, it will serve as a comprehensive reminder of what you have learned, and supplement your ongoing training. For amateur, fringe and student companies, the book offers a thorough understanding of the practicalities of staging a fight, but also helps you to recognise when you may need to call upon the services of a qualified professional.
    
    
    
    
    Whatever your current level of experience, Stage Combat: Unarmed is the essential book for directors, actors, students and teachers, or indeed anyone looking to incorporate safe, effective stage fights into their productions.

    Hollywood is indelibly printed in our minds as the ‘go-to’ place for entertainment and has been for decades.  When there really did seem to be more stars in Hollywood than in Heaven Hollywood Stage had them performing films as radio plays – on the sponsors dime of course.  Classic films now become audiobooks with many featuring the original stars from way back when. Here's Jezebel starring Loretta Young & Brian Donlevy.

    Ian Harvie is not quite the kind of man you might think. He's redefining what it means to be a dude through a fresh perspective on sex/sexuality with some seriously funny and new kinds of dick jokes. Unafraid to quip about subjects no other comedian has ever touched, Ian’s performance challenges the traditionally macho, sex-obsessed world of stand up in ways you won’t believe, proving that laughter cuts across all identities and ultimately unites us all in May the Best Cock Win. Oh and, Ian is the world's first trans man comedian with a stand up comedy special.
