Taking off the wraps once more, but this time the action moves to China for round three of the Mummy adventure. For 2,000 years the ruthless Chinese Dragon Emperor (Jet Li) and his vast army of warriors have been frozen in time, cast in clay, waiting for their moment to rise again. When young archaeologist Alex O'Connell (Luke Ford) is duped into bringing the ancient warlord back to life, he soon realises he has to call in the only people he knows with experience and knowledge of how to battle the undead - his parents, father Rick (Brendan Fraser) and mother Evelyn (Maria Bello). As the emperor attempts to re-unite with his massed warriors and finally fulfil his dream of world domination, Alex and his family, along with mystical, high-kicking sorceress Zi Juan (Michelle Yeoh) and a rival cast of undead, have to pull out all the stops to keep the evil tyrant from achieving his ends.
"The history of Jewish journalism in the United States presents
something of a challenge. Traditionally, historians like to recount
the story of progress: development onward and upward from primitive
origins to flourishing contemporary success. The history of Jewish
journalism in the US, by contrast, represents, at least until
recently, a story of marked decay." "Jewish newspapers would be more compelling if Jewish readers
wanted a more compelling paper. I can't tell you how many times
over the years that I've heard readers say, 'I read your paper on
Shabbat. I don't want to be disturbed. I just want to read nice
Jewish news. I don't want things to make me angry.' That makes our
role that much more difficult."
This first comprehensive and most in-depth history of cinematic
pornography details sex in film from 100 years ago to today,
concentrating on the quarter-century since Deep Throat, when
pornography became a subject of popular culture.
In "The Producers," Luke Ford profiles major players in entertainment including Edgar J. Scherick, creator of "ABC's Wide World of Sports," Stephen J. Cannell, whose television programs have grossed over $1 billion, and Jay Bernstein, former manager of Farrah Fawcett and Linda Evans. The life of a typical Hollywood producer is a "profile in frustration." What drives these middlemen to subjugate their own egos for more than a decade, at times, to make a movie or TV show?
When Luke Ford, the youngest son of a heretical Seventh Day Adventist theologian, converted to Judaism in 1992, he burned his pornography collection, but his curiosity about the forbidden did not disappear in the flames. In the fall of 1995, Ford began investigating the San Fernando Valley's hardcore industry. On his website www.lukeford.com, he broke stories about HIV-infection, Mafia control, and pay-for-placement porn journalism. As his name began showing up in the newspapers and his face on television, Ford received an ultimatum from his rabbi--give up investigating porn or give up the synagogue. "XXX-Communicated: A Rebel Without a Shul" explores the tensions between freedom and friends, faith and reason, reality and religion.
Epic television miniseries version of the classical legend, starring Paul Telfer as the Greek hero, son of the god Zeus and the mortal Alcmene (Elizabeth Perkins). Banished to the mountains by Zeus' jealous wife Hera, Hercules is taught by his friend Linus (Sean Astin), and is later tricked into killing his sons, an act for which he is commanded by King Eurystheus (Kristian Schmid) to repent by completing 12 dangerous tasks. As Hercules undertakes his labours, including slaying the Nemean Lion, defeating the Hydra and stealing the apples of the Hesperides, he is joined by Linus as his unofficial bard.
Shane Abbess co-writes and directs this Australian sci-fi thriller.
