Adaptation of the award-winning comic series created by Frank
Miller. Interweaving multiple storylines from the series' history,
the film paints a picture of the ultimate town through the eyes of
its roughest characters. There's the street thug Marv (Mickey
Rourke), whose desperate quest to find the killer of a prostitute
named Goldie (Jaime King) will lead him to the foulest edges of
town. Inhabiting many of those areas is Dwight (Clive Owen), a
photographer in league with the sordid ladies of Sin City, headed
by Gail (Rosario Dawson), who opens up a mess of trouble after
tangling with a corrupt cop by the name of Jackie Boy (Benicio Del
Toro). Finally, there's Hartigan (Bruce Willis), an ex-cop with a
heart problem who's hell-bent on protecting a stripper named Nancy
(Jessica Alba).
Jessica Alba stars in this fourth film in the children's action
adventure series. Teenage twins Rebecca (Rowan Blanchard) and Cecil
(Mason Cook) have never got along with their stepmother Marissa
(Alba) since she married their father, spy-hunting reporter Wilbur
(Joel McHale). Unbeknown to the twins, however, Marissa is in fact
a retired super-spy. When Earth comes under threat from the
villainous Timekeeper (Jeremy Piven), Marissa is called back into
action, and Rebecca and Cecil must put their resentments aside and
assist her in protecting the future of the human race.
For the Beatles, 1967 marks a signal crossroads that would both
transform the group's career and place them on a trajectory towards
their eventual disbandment. It was a year in which they exploded
prevailing rock music demographics through the global onslaught and
international success of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
beginning in June 1967. Yet it was also a period that saw them in a
precarious state of flux throughout the summer and fall months, as
the band attempted to recapture their artistic direction in the
wake of Sgt. Pepper and the untimely death of manager Brian
Epstein. The Beatles, Sgt. Pepper, and the Summer of Love draws
readers into that pivotal year in the life of the band. For the Fab
Four, 1967 would see the band members part ways with psychedelia
and the avant-garde through the trials and tribulations of the
Magical Mystery Tour, a project that resulted in a series of
classic recordings, while at the same time revealing the bandmates'
aesthetic vulnerabilities and failings as would-be filmmakers and
auteurs.

In the years following the 1960s Beatle fans around the world were
twice-stunned: in 1970 when their beloved group disbanded and ten
years later when the murder of John Lennon ended a decade of hope
that somehow the Fab Four would reunite. Between those milestones
were astounding highs and unfathomable lows. George Harrison's 1971
benefit for the suffering of Bangladesh showed the world the
possibilities of rock's altruism while Lennon asked the world to
imagine universal peace before sitting out half the decade to raise
his son. Ringo Starr the most overlooked Beatle carved himself a
surprising niche in film before launching a string of hit singles.
And Paul McCartney widely seen as the instigator of the Fabs'
breakup became one of rock's most beloved performers racking up
record-breaking smashes that climaxed with a triumphant world tour
in 1976.THEFab Four FAQ 2.0E picks up the story where the acclaimed
EFab Four FAQE left off. Loaded with images of rare period ephemera
including periodicals single sleeves and movie stills this is the
first comprehensive biography of all four ex-Beatles. This book
covers everything from their recording careers in the decade after
the band's dissolution to the musicians they played with the bands
they influenced the manifestations of latter-day Beatlemania and
the constant clamor for reunion expressed by fans and a sometimes a
by the four themselves.
Acquired wisdom has always put ESgt. PepperE at the head of the
class but it was ERevolverE that truly signaled The Beatles' sea
change from a functional band to a studio-based ensemble. These
changes began before ERubber SoulE but came to fruition on
ERevolverE which took an astonishing 300 hours to produce far more
than any rock record before it.THThe making of ERevolverE a
hunkered down in Abbey Road with George Martin a is in itself a
great Beatles story but would be nothing if the results weren't so
impactful. More than even ESgt. PepperE and EPet SoundsE ERevolverE
fed directly into the rock 'n' roll zeitgeist and its influence
could be heard everywhere: from the psychedelic San Francisco sound
(Jefferson Airplane Grateful Dead); to the first wave of post-blues
hard rock (Sabbath Zeppelin); through movie soundtracks and pretty
much everything that followed it a including every generation of
guitar-based pop music and even heavy metal. More than any record
before or after ERevolverE was the game-changer and this is finally
the detailed telling of its storied recording and enormous impact.

In "Rebel Without a Crew," famed independent screenwriter and
director Robert Rodriguez ("Sin City, Sin City 2, Once Upon a Time
in Mexico, Spy Kids)" discloses all the unique strategies and
original techniques he used to make his remarkable debut film, "El
Mariachi, " on a shoestring budget. This is both one man's
remarkable story and an essential guide for anyone who has a
celluloid story to tell and the dreams and determination to see it
through. Part production diary, part how-to manual, Rodriguez
unveils how he was able to make his influential first film on only
a $7,000 budget. Also included is the appendix, 'The Ten Minute
Film Course," a tell-all on how to save thousands of dollars on
film school and teach yourself the ropes of film production,
directing, and screenwriting.
The decade after the Beatles' split gets a second look... In 2010,
Robert Rodriguez's Fab Four FAQ 2.0: The Beatles 1970-1980 told the
story of the ex-band mates during the first ten years after calling
it quits, detailing efforts to establish four separate artistic
identities while laboring in the shadow of their glorious
collective past; all the while facing the inevitable query, "So
when are the Beatles getting back together?" But while 2.0 covered
an enormous amount of ground, there were still more stories to
tell: John's fight to stay in America against the forces of Nixon
Administration; the lawsuits against their business allies-and each
other; unreleased recordings; the promo films; album art; covers of
ex-Beatle music by other artists (as well as covers by ex-Beatles
of other artists' material); bootleg releases and many more
subjects. In Solo in the 70s, you'll learn about their people:
producers and engineers they worked with; up-and-comers branded as
"the new Beatles;" proteges; friends and associates, and a roll
call of deaths in the "family." Putting it all in perspective is a
30,000 word day-by-day timeline, contextualizing rock's evolution
throughout the 1970s, ending with the death of John Lennon. See for
yourself the peers and artistic rivals the ex-Beatles worked
alongside while crafting their art and how it all fit together.
Solo In The 70s is a welcome addition to the Beatles' reference
canon. Richly illustrated with period ephemera, it draws the reader
into the world that fans inhabited back in the day. Whether you're
seeking to learn more about the post-break-up era or want to
revisit a glorious time when four ex-Beatles were creating new
music worthy of their legacy, Solo In The 70s puts this unsung era
into focus.
