All five films in the series starring Charles Bronson as a
vigilante out for revenge. In 'Death Wish' (1974) mild-mannered New
York architect Paul Kersey (Bronson) takes the law into his own
hands after his wife is murdered and his daughter raped by a gang
of thugs. Jeff Goldblum makes his big-screen debut as one of the
unfortunate muggers. In 'Death Wish 2' (1981), after the suicide of
his daughter in response to another violent attack, Kersey returns
to the streets to deal out revenge to her assailants on a one by
one basis. 'Death Wish 3' (1985) sees Kersey, still distraught at
the loss of his family, take his rage out on street gangs with
weapons including sub-machine guns and missile launchers. In 'Death
Wish 4 - The Crackdown' (1987) the death of his girlfriend's
daughter from an overdose compels Kersey to declare war on L.A.'s
drug dealers. Finally, in 'Death Wish 5 - The Face of Death' (1993)
the harassment of Kersey's girlfriend Livia (Lesley-Anne Down) by
her ex-husband, O'Shea (Michael Parks), a Mafia boss using her
business to launder money, forces Kersey back towards the gun
cupboard one final time.
This is a book about the beauty and tranquility of a peaceful
island off the mainland of Puerto Rico. In 2017, it was hit by back
to back hurricanes Irma and Maria. The devastation has been
extensive, but the recovery is sure and necessary. There is no
place in the world like Culebra, so this book memorializes its
beauty.
Three classic films from acclaimed director, Roman Polanski. In
'Rosemary's Baby' (1968), Mia Farrow stars as Rosemary, a young
wife whose husband (John Cassavetes), an actor, falls in with a
group of Satanists. When Rosemary becomes pregnant, she begins to
suspect that she may be carrying the child of the Devil. In 'The
Tenant' (1976), when Trelkovsky (Polanski) rents a decrepit, barren
flat he discovers that the flat's previous occupant, a young girl,
had leaped to her death from its window. Intrigued, he begins to
obsess about the girl and convinces himself that the other tenants
of the building are trying to drive him to self-murder as well. But
has Trelkovsky really only inherited the girl's suicidal urges?
Finally, in 'Chinatown' (1974), private eye Jake Gittes (Jack
Nicholson) is hired to follow water commissioner Hollis Mulwray
(Darrell Zwerling), only to see him turn up dead at the bottom of a
reservoir. Realising he has been used, Gittes confronts Mulwray's
widow Evelyn (Faye Dunway), a woman who seems to have plenty of
secrets of her own, not least her ambiguous relationship with her
father Noah Cross (John Huston).
