Luca Bercovici co-writes and directs this American comedy horror. After moving into his late father's mansion, with his girlfriend Rebecca (Lisa Pelikan), Jonathan Graves (Peter Liapis) begins to dabble in the occult. Continuing his father's work, he inadvertently unleashes a flurry of nasty supernatural creatures and accidentally resurrects his dead father Malcolm (Michael Des Barres).
When the city's most feared gangsters afrsyslematically eliminated, the Caped Crusader is blamed. But prowling the Gotham night is a shadowy new villain, the Phantasm, a sinister figure with some link to Batman's past. Can the Dark Knight elude the police, capture the Phantasm and clear his name? Unmasking the Phantasm is just one of the twists in this dazzling feature length animated adventure. Discover all-new revelations about Batman's past, his archrival the Joker and Batman's most gruelling battle ever - the choice between his love of a beautiful woman and his vow to be the defender of right.
Collection of animations following the caped crusader. In 'Mystery of the Batwoman' (2003) Batman (voice of Kevin Conroy) is on the attack, targeting his arch enemy, the Penguin (David Ogden Stiers), and his criminal cohort, Rupert Thorn (John Vernon), who are plotting a scheme to sell illegal weapons. New vigilante in town Batwoman (Kyra Sedgwick) has more daring methods for saving the day, which may only create more problems for Batman. In 'Mask of the Phantasm' (1993) an unknown assailant is ridding Gotham City of its gangsters but Batman finds himself blamed for their homicidal ways. Meanwhile, his nemesis, the Joker (Mark Hamill), is keen to bring the mysterious figure down and Batman's former flame, Andrea Beaumont (Dana Delany), arrives in town. In 'Under the Red Hood' (2010) a masked figure, known only as Red Hood (Jensen Ackles), has taken it upon himself to clean up Gotham City but his methods are brutal. Batman (Bruce Greenwood) soon realises he may know Red Hood's real identity and when the Joker (John Di Maggio) gets involved the situation becomes even more complicated. 'Gotham Knight' (2008), set between 'Batman Begins' (2005) and 'The Dark Knight' (2008), comprises six chronological stories charting Batman (Conroy)'s progression from gifted amateur to fully-fledged crime-avenger. 'Have I Got a Story for You' tells how a group of kids are variously affected by their encounters with Batman. In 'Crossfire', Gotham City's police force are forced to conquer their distrust of the Dark Knight when they come under fire from the mob. 'Field Test' focuses on the vast array of weaponry and gadgets at Batman's disposal as he fights injustice, while 'In Darkness Dwells' has the caped-crusader locking horns with the sewer-dwelling 'Killer Croc' and 'The Scarecrow' (Corey Burton). 'Working Through Pain' explores Bruce Wayne's gruelling training regime, instigated by a mysterious Indian woman named Cassandra (Parminder Nagra), while the final segment, 'Deadshot', draws the chapters to a conclusion, with Batman having to stop a ruthlessly efficient assassin with few moral qualms. In 'Year One' (2011) Batman (Benjamin McKenzie) returns to Gotham City after spending years away training on foreign territory. Meanwhile, honest policeman Jim Gordon (Bryan Cranston) has arrived in town after being transferred from Chicago. He is sent to track Batman down but with their shared interest in ridding Gotham of its corrupt cops and criminals, the two form an unlikely alliance.
Having boarded an aeroplane ready to embark on a school trip to France, Alex (Devon Sawa) suddenly has a premonition that it will explode. He tries to convince his friends to disembark, causing so much trouble that he and six others are eventually ejected before take-off. Shortly afterwards, standing in the departure lounge, they see the plane destroyed in a mid-air explosion. Later, after three of the ejectees have died in strange circumstances, Alex becomes convinced that death feels cheated, and is now trying to collect back the debt. Can Alex convince his other friends of this before they too meet their untimely ends?
If you have ever been camping overnight you have probably spent time around a campfire telling jokes and stories to pass the time. That is the origin of this book-not campfire tales, but evening entertainment because that's all there was in the early 1900s. There were no televisions or DVDs. There was only family conversation where the interesting events of the day were related and probably embellished and most certainly used for teasing and joking. Many of these events have survived in the form of short anecdotes that live in the memories of the younger generation-like me. Here you will find: Romance "We could get a sack of meal and a jug of molasses and live fat all winter." [The Proposal] Politics "Philip announced that he guessed he would have to be a Democrat when he grew up, 'cause I can't say pudican.'" [How to Choose a Political Party] Adventure "I think there is a crick (Hoosier for creek) just about here-re-re!!" [Coon Huntin'] Suspense and drama "Where's Edwin?" "He's down by the corn crib." "What's he doing down there?" "Oh, he's just hangin' there." [Climbing the Corn Crib] You will also find a window into the life of those who made their living from the land without benefit of modern technology and transportation-a hard but satisfying life. So pull a chair up to the stove and discover that the "simple life" was not always as sedate as it seems in history books.
