The Lord of the Rings is an epic high fantas
Vates News
http://vatesnews.blogspot.com/
The Lord of the Rings is an epic high fantasy novel written by the English academic and philologist J. R. R. Tolkien. The story began as a sequel to Tolkien's earlier work, The Hobbit, but developed into a much larger story. It was written in stages between 1937 and 1949, with much of it being created during World War II. Although intended as a single-volume work, it was originally published in three volumes in 1954 and 1955, and it is in this three-volume form that it is popularly known. It has since been reprinted numerous times and translated into many different languages, becoming one of the most popular works in 20th-century literature.
The story of the The Lord of the Rings takes place in an alternate pre-history, the Third Age of Middle-earth. The lands of Middle-earth are populated by Men (humans) and other humanoid races (Hobbits, Elves, Dwarves, and Orcs), as well as many other real and fantastical creatures. The story centres on the Ring of Power made by the Dark Lord Sauron, and from quiet beginnings in the Shire ranges across Middle-earth following the course of the War of the Ring through the eyes of its characters, most notably the central protagonist Frodo Baggins. The main story is followed in the book by six appendices that provide a wealth of historical and linguistic background material.
Along with Tolkien's other writings, The Lord of the Rings has been subjected to extensive analysis of its literary themes and origins. Although a major work in itself, the story is only the last movement of a mythology that Tolkien had worked on since 1917. Influences on this earlier work, and on the story of The Lord of the Rings, include philology, mythology, industrialization, and religion, as well as earlier fantasy works and Tolkien's experiences in World War I. The Lord of the Rings in its turn is considered to have had a great effect on modern fantasy, and the impact of Tolkien's works is such that the use of the words "Tolkienian" and "Tolkienesque" have been recorded in the Oxford English Dictionary.
The immense and enduring popularity of The Lord of the Rings has led to numerous references in popular culture, the founding of many societies by fans of Tolkien's works, and the publication of many books about Tolkien and his works. The Lord of the Rings has inspired, and continues to inspire, artwork, music, films and television, video games, and subsequent literature. Adaptations of The Lord of the Rings have been made for radio, theatre, and film. The 2001--2003 release of the widely acclaimed Lord of the Rings film trilogy prompted a new surge of interest in The Lord of the Rings and Tolkien's other works.
The Lord of the Rings film trilogy comprises three live action fantasy epic films: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001), The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) (often abbreviated to 'LotR', 'FotR', 'TTT' and 'RotK'). The trilogy is based on the book The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien, and while it follows the book's general storyline it also features some additions to and deviations from the source material.

Excalibur or Caliburn is the legendary sword
Vates News
http://vatesnews.blogspot.com/
Excalibur or Caliburn is the legendary sword of King Arthur, sometimes attributed with magical powers or associated with the rightful sovereignty of Great Britain. Sometimes Excalibur and the Sword in the Stone (the proof of Arthur's lineage) are said to be the same weapon, but in most versions they are considered separate. The sword was associated with the Arthurian legend very early. In Welsh, the sword is called Caledfwlch.
Cast and crew (movie, 1981)
Nigel Terry ... King Arthur: Even though he was 35 years old, Nigel Terry plays King Arthur from his teenage years to his ending as an aged monarch.
Helen Mirren ... Arthur's half-sister and sorceress Morgana
Nicol Williamson ... Merlin)
Nicholas Clay ... Lancelot
Cherie Lunghi ... Guenevere
The film also features some noted actors in early screen roles:
Liam Neeson ... Gawain,
Patrick Stewart ... King Leondegrance,
Clive Swift ... Sir Ector,
Gabriel Byrne ... Uther Pendragon.
Several members of the Boorman family also appeared in the picture. Igrayne (Arthur's mother), the Lady of the Lake, Mordred as a boy, and the infant Arthur were all played by Boorman's children. Because of the number of Boormans involved with the film, it is sometimes called "The Boorman Family Project."
All the elements of Sir Thomas Malory's classic "Le Morte Darthur" are here: Arthur (Nigel Terry) removing the sword Excalibur from the stone; the Round Table's noble birth and tragic decline; the heroic attempts to recover the Holy Grail; and the shifting balance of power between wily wizard Merlin (Nicol Williamson) and evil sorceress Morgana (Helen Mirren).

Anita Meyer - Why Tell Me Why
Anita Meyer (Rotterdam, 29 oktober 1954), officiële naam: Anita Meijer, is een Nederlandse zangeres.
Als kind treedt Anita Meyer (eerst nog met haar broer) op. Maar de grote doorbraak komt in 1976, als Anita Meyer haar debuutsingle "The Alternative Way" (samen met Hans Vermeulen) uitbrengt. Dit nummer wordt een nummer 1-hit. Ook haar volgende singles verkopen goed.
Na enkele succesvolle singles neemt het succes van Anita Meyer wat af. In 1980 verandert ze van platenmaatschappij en wordt ze begeleid door een nieuw team van mensen. De derde single die ze bij deze platenmaatschappij uitbrengt, "Why Tell Me Why" staat wekenlang op de nummer 1-positie in de Nederlandse hitparades en wordt de bestverkochte plaat van 1981 in Nederland. Het is het begin van een periode waarin Anita Meyer veel hits scoort.
In 1983 treedt ze voor het eerst op met Lee Towers. De verkoopcijfers nemen tijdelijk even af, maar in 1986 scoort het duet met Lee Towers "Run To Me" weer hoog in de hitlijsten. Het wordt de laatste top 10 hit in Nederland voor Anita Meyer. Haar albums blijven echter goed verkopen en ook haar optredens worden goed bezocht. Eind jaren '80 en begin jaren '90 speelt ze een aantal malen voor een uitverkocht Ahoy.
Rond 1992 besluit Anita Meyer het rustiger aan te gaan doen om meer tijd te kunnen besteden aan haar gezin. Ze treedt vooral op op kleine feesten. In 2000 treedt ze op bij een galavoorstelling van Lee Towers in Ahoy en neemt zij haar laatste album tot nu toe op, "Spanish Guitar" met allerlei Latin covers.
In 2005 staat ze weer in de belangstelling door teamcaptain te zijn in het muziekprogramma Het gevoel van. Tussen 17 en 28 mei 2006 staat Anita na geruime tijd weer in Ahoy om mee te werken aan "Musicals in Ahoy".
Anita Meyer wordt de oude glamourpoes Grizabella in de musical Cats.De zangeres zal afwisselend met Vera Mann, Lone van Roosendaal, Antje Monteiro en Pia Douwes de rol van Grizabella spelen in de musicalklassieker Cats. Van de vijf Grizabella's begint Anita als eerste. Ze speelt tijdens de première in Rotterdam op 7 oktober 2006 en zal in ieder geval de gehele speelperiode in de Maasstad te zien zijn.

http://vatesnews.blogspot.com/
Apocalypse Now is a 1979 Academy Award, Cannes Palme d'Or and Golden Globe winning American film set during the Vietnam War. It tells the story of Army Captain Benjamin L. Willard who is sent into the jungle to assassinate United States Army Special Forces Colonel Walter E. Kurtz, who is said to have gone insane. The film has been viewed as a journey into the darkness of the human psyche.
The film was directed by Francis Ford Coppola from a script by Coppola, John Milius and Michael Herr, and was in large part based on Joseph Conrad's novella Heart of Darkness (1899), as well as drawing elements from Herr's "Dispatches" (1977), and from Werner Herzog's Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972); Coppola himself has noted, "Aguirre, with its incredible imagery, was a very strong influence. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention it."
The film stars Martin Sheen as Captain Benjamin L. Willard (based on Marlow in Conrad's novella), Marlon Brando as Colonel Kurtz, Dennis Hopper as a photojournalist, and Robert Duvall in an Oscar-nominated turn as the wild Lt. Colonel Bill Kilgore. The movie became notorious in the entertainment press due to its lengthy and troubled production. In the end, Coppola had to finance the film with his own money.

Nietzsche: Last Days
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (October 15, 1844 -- August 25, 1900) (IPA: [ˈfʁiːdʁɪç ˈvilhelm ˈniːtʃə]), was a nineteenth-century German philosopher. He wrote critiques of religion, morality, contemporary culture, philosophy, and science, using a distinctive style and displaying a fondness for aphorism. Nietzsche's influence remains substantial within and beyond philosophy, notably in existentialism and postmodernism. His style, and radical questioning of the value and objectivity of truth, raise considerable problems of interpretation, generating an extensive secondary literature in both continental and analytic philosophy. Nonetheless, his key ideas include interpreting tragedy as an affirmation of life, an eternal recurrence that has fallen into numerous interpretations, and a reversal of Platonism.
Nietzsche began his career as a philologist before turning to philosophy. At the age of 24 he became Professor of Classical Philology at the University of Basel, but resigned in 1879 due to health problems, which would plague him for most of his life. In 1889 he exhibited symptoms of a serious mental illness, living out his remaining years in the care of his mother and sister until his death in 1900.

Vates News
http://vatesnews.blogspot.com/
Cría cuervos is 1976 Spanish film directed by Carlos Saura. It was released as Cría! in the United States and as Raise Crows (a literal translation of the title) in the UK.
The film tells the story of Ana, a young girl in a family of three children, growing up under the Franco regime. Ana (played by Ana Torrent) is a young girl who witnesses many horrific things in her life. Her mother (played by Geraldine Chaplin) is cheated on by her husband and dies of a painful illness before the film begins. The father (played by Hector Alterio) is a philandering general in Franco's army, who dies while sleeping with his mistress. After his death, their mother's sister, Paulina, played by Monica Randall, moves into the children's home along with their grandmother and tries to be a good guardian while continuing her own life as well.
Much of the film takes place in flashbacks and in scenes of Ana's imagination, mostly of her mother.
The title, "Cría cuervos" comes from the spanish proverb, "Cría cuervos y te arrancarán los ojos." This translates as, "If you raise crows, they will peck out your eyes," and is generally used for someone who has bad luck in raising children, or raised them badly. It may also imply that every bad act will return to haunt you.

Ana Torrent plays the lead character, Ana. She was already well known thanks to her starring role in the film El espíritu de la colmena (The Spirit of the Beehive) (1973) by Víctor Erice, made when she was five years old. She followed Cría cuervos by yet another memorable role in The Nest (1980) in which she played a thirteen year old in a relationship with an aging widower played by Héctor Alterio who here has the role of Anselmo, Ana's father.
Geraldine Chaplin plays dual roles: Ana's mother in which she speaks Spanish with accented English and Ana's as a young woman in which she is dubbed by actress Julieta Serrano . Chaplin was director Saura's common-law wife and muse at that time. She appeared in ten of his films.
Ana Torrent - Ana
Geraldine Chaplin- Ana's mother and older Ana
Mónica Randall - Aunt Paulina
Florinda Chico - Rosa
Héctor Alterio - Anselmo, Ana's father
Josefina Díaz - Ana's grandmother
Conchita Pérez - Ana's sister Irene
Maite Sánchez - Ana's sister Mayte
Mirta Miller - Amelia, Anselmo's mistress
Germán Cobos - Nicholas, Amelia's husband
--
Cría cuervos es una película española de 1975 escrita y dirigida por Carlos Saura. El título alude al refrán «Cría cuervos y te sacarán los ojos». Ana (Geraldine Chaplin) se dirige a la cámara y rememora su infancia desde la muerte de su padre, ocurrida veinte años antes. Ana se siente responsable, pues cree que muere al ingerir un vaso de leche en la que ella echó una sustancia inocua que la niña consideró veneno. Por ello la chiquilla concluye que tiene poderes especiales, como el de invocar la presencia de su madre muerta hace tiempo.
La película obtuvo el Premio del Jurado del Festival de Cannes de 1976 ex-aequo con La marquesa de O, de Éric Rohmer y se ha visto como un comentario a la etapa final del franquismo, con personajes autoritarios, mujeres que deben dejar de tocar el piano y toques surrealistas, como las patas de pollo en el frigorífico.
