Extrait : Andre Kirk Agassi est un joueur de tennis américain, professionnel de 1986 à 2006, né le 29 avril 1970 à Las Vegas. Surnommé le « Kid de Las Vegas », Andre Agassi a notamment été le premier joueur à s'être imposé dans les quatre tournois du Grand Chelem sur quatre surfaces différentes, ce que seul Roger Federer a réussi depuis. Il a remporté 8 tournois du Grand Chelem dont 4 fois celui de l'Open d'Australie. Il est aussi marié à l'ancienne championne de tennis Steffi Graf. Andre Agassi est le fils d'Emmanuel « Mike » Agassian, arménien d'Iran, qui a représenté ce dernier pays aux épreuves de boxe des Jeux olympiques de 1948 et 1952 avant d'émigrer aux États-Unis. Andre Agassi a remporté la médaille d'or en simple lors des Jeux olympiques de 1996 à Atlanta. Il est également l'un des deux seuls joueurs de l'histoire, avec Roger Federer, à avoir gagné les 4 titres du Grand Chelem sur 4 surfaces différentes, auxquels on peut ajouter 1 Masters Cup, 2 Coupes Davis et 17 Masters Series (un record qu'il a longtemps détenu jusqu'à ce que Rafael Nadal gagne 18 titres en masters 1000). Surtout, il contribua à l'évolution du tennis en étant capable de jouer en puissance du fond du court et donc de tenter des coups...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Product Description
"Help me! Help me!"Andre Delambre is a devoted husband, a loving father and a brilliant scientist. When his body is found in his laboratory with his arm and head crushed by a hydraulic press, his wife Helene admits to having killed him. Believing Helene incapable of such a crime, Andre's brother slowly uncovers the truth - that an experiment with Andre's new teleportation device went horribly wrong and Andre persuaded Helene to assist him in suicide.When the American Film Institute distributed a ballot with 400 nominated movie quotes to a jury of over 1500 film industry figures, the abovequote came in 123rd. But this film's influence extends far beyond a simple quote. The movie's concept, ending and the quote have permeated pop culture from 1958 to The Simpsons to a 2008 opera based on a 1986 film remake by David Cronenberg.The original movie The Fly was the surprise hit on 1958. Shot in 18 days at a cost of $450,00 dollars, it brought in $6 million, which at time when Fox Studios was in desperate need of a hit. It was the biggest box office film of director Kurt Neumann but he would never know - he died one month after the premiere (a week before the movie was released nationally).This film made a star of David Hedison and cemented Vincent Price's place among the horror film immortals. It is more than a tale of science gone wrong and hideous mutants. It is a film classic, the rare perfect blending of story, cast and crew, with the fantastic elements in sync with the universality of Andre's struggle with what he had hoped to do with this technology and what actually happened to him. That struggle touches everyone who has ever watched this film and why, after 50 years, it remains a classic.Complete with reminiscences from the film's star, David Hedison, this book covers the history and legacy of this seminal science fiction film. ...

The Fly At 50
This book is poorly written.Obviously no editor was used to proof read this book.It is full of many errors.Grammar is poor.It is full of factual errors.Richard Carlson co-starred with Beverly Garland in the "THE ALLIGATOR PEOPLE"...Please!!.It is nothing but a fan book.The author is the the caretaker of the David Hedison website.Even the reprint of the original short story is full of grammatical errors.This is a waste of anyone's time who likes to read well-writtem books.

Great Idea -- Poorly Executed
Kachmar and Goudsward's "The Fly at Fifty" is a must-read for all fans of the original 1958 classic film, albeit a frustrating read. Written for Fly aficionados, the book contains some great content regarding the career of David Hedison, along with a nice foreword by the likeable actor. Towards the end of the foreword, however, is the first of what readers will have to suffer through as they make their way through each chapter: errors in the text.

One might say the book was poorly edited, but no editor is referenced, and no evidence of editing is apparent. I have never read a book that contained so many typographical errors. There is a misspelled word, missing word, extra erroneous word or poorly written passage on almost every page. This is not an exaggeration.

While including George Langelaan's original short story is a real bonus and a celebration of a great, original idea, unfortunately, the lack of editorial review results in a flawed presentation of that story. Again, readers will find missing words within the text! A comparison of the text within Kachmar and Goudswards's book to another copy of the short story confirms that the version reproduced within "The Fly at Fifty" is flawed. This is really too bad, as one would hope that the original story would be treated better.

The lack of editorial oversight taints what otherwise would be an enjoyable read. For forgiving fans only.

A must have for fans of The Fly
This book is an amazingly in depth resource for fans of the original Fly trilogy. It gives insight into all aspects of the production of the 1958 The Fly down to the stories of the various crew members and actors. There is even a section on Fly merchandise and how it has influenced culture. It's also filled with many B&W photos.

Another disappointment from Bear Manor Media
As a long-time fan of The Fly series of movies, I was excited to hear that a book completely devoted to all things Fly-related was being published.Unfortunately, outside of some great behind-the-scenes photos from the first Fly film and a wax museum exhibit of The Fly, a good interview with David "Al" Hedison, and a copy of the original Fly short story, there's nothing to really recommend this book.

While the book devotes a great deal of attention to the first Fly movie, everything else--the sequels, the remake and the remake's sequel--get short shrifted.In fact, you'll learn more about the full careers of the cast and crew of the first Fly movie alone than the production of all of the other four Fly movies combined(!).While the book has plenty of pictures of Hedison in Fly makeup, there isn't a single picture of any of the other man-fly monsters which appear in the other Fly movies, so you're out of luck if you, say, want to know the technical differences between the fly mask and makeup of The Fly and the fly mask and makeup of Return of The Fly.This book shares the same serious flaw as Bear Manor's Jaws Companion book: In both cases, the authors only cover the first film in their respective franchises in loving, informative detail, while the remaining films are covered in a sloppier, less professional manner that is driven more by the authors' personal tastes and opinions than genuine journalistic accuracy and artistic curiousity.

Furthermore, the book is poorly edited, and its examination of why The Fly continues to have an influence in American pop culture is very weak.It makes no serious attempt to explore the first Fly movie in the context of other social issues and horror films of its era (particularly "big bug" films such as Them! and films which use atomic science as their conceptual--albeit scientifically inaccurate--foundation), or why David Cronenberg's experience in the subgenre of "body horror" helped him to effectively contribute to The Fly's lasting appeal in his remake.

If you're a devoted Fly fan, ignore this book and get the DVD box set of the first three Fly films and the Special Editions of the Fly remake and its sequel instead.But don't just take my word for it--the authors of The Fly at Fifty even tell you to do that on page 143 of their own book!

fly at 50 book review
I really enjoyed "the fly at 50" .The behind the scenes talk and the opinion of David Hedison was really nice.Funny how "The Fly" is now a real classic flim and is looked at by other film makers to follow.

The pictures were really nice also.I would recommend this book for anyone who enjoyed the sci-fi films of the 50's.

If you are a man, like James Bond, and are looking for some self help to change your lifestyle I think you should buy this! I wish there were more. I hope there is something else coming if possible. It is so good!

AUDIO TAPE - NOT A BOOK
JUST MAKE SURE YOU REALISE THIS IS AN AUDIO TAPE OF POOR QUALIY AND NOT A BOOK AS IT LOOKS LIKE!

BOTTLED IN BOND--A COMPENDIUM OF GOLDEN GURU ADVICE
Overall, an excellent cd packed with good solid advice--motivational and concrete practical. BUT the David Hedison intro was a complete waste of time, and had me yelling "Hellllp Meeeee..."
The marketing technique of taking much of the standard golden guru wisdom and spray painting James Bond's image over it, is quite clever. There's not a lot of new stuff here, but all the classic self-help advice is convenient to have in one package.
However, if you are going to call this a James Bond Lifestyle, and give advice of don't drink, don't smoke, don't speed--maybe you are talking the James Bond at his real present age--somewhere in his 90s.
There was a lot more that could have been put in the cds--more specific websites for the kind of stuff that the author recommends you get. Also, there are intelligence related organizations that wannabes can join to rub up their spy image. (I could tell you which ones, but then I'd have to kill you).
Bond, would have been in reality, an intelligence disaster, if he were a case officer. Much too showy, too noticeable.He would be more of the paramilitary type dressed in a tux.
As far as the secret to getting women--watch the films--Bond was charming, but exuded a polite indifference to many of the women--and women HATE indifference--until they are intrigued by it.(Check out Daniel Craig in the train to Montenegro dining car scene in Casino Royale with "the money.")
Spend all your cash on some lady, providing fun travel and entertainment?Sure--AFTER you've gotten to know her, and after you've gotten the sex out of the way, as one of my pals in Denmark used to say.There's plenty of cool stuff to do with the nubile newbies that doesn't cost all that much. (Fashion shows, gallery receptions, trade shows, wine tastings,etc.)
The tips on dressing--YES. Once on a cruise in the Bahamas, I was thinking I couldn't score with a fistful of pardons in a woman's penitentiary, when one night I slipped into a Tux and strutted around the casino, like I belonged there. Scored a home run in less than an hour, and discovered that not all women from Arkansas look like Hillary Clinton."Fashion helps," as Peter Weller said in "Shadow Hours." (And I look a lot more like Telly Savalas as Blofeld, than I do James Bond). Wanna make your foreign travel even more interesting--contact the trade mission or commercial attache' of the country you want to visit, and get some business leads relevant to your gig before you travel.Not only will you likely get VIP treatment when in country visiting your contacts, you can possibly write off part of the trip on your tax return.Did that when I went to Singapore, and had a grand old time. Anyway, you will enjoy this tape, follow its directions (but caveat credit card spender) and you will benefit. Within 24 hours of listening to the CD, I'm getting results already.Take your gold sovreign and get this program, so Goldfinger won't point a laser beam at your "gun."

Upgrade your lifestyle!
This audiobook is not what you might expect.Of course I'm a Bond fan which brought my attention to this in the first place but, Mr. Kyriazi is not telling you to "be" James Bond it's about you, upgrading your lifestyle be it money, dress, girls, overall prosperity using several Bond movie references.
I've listened to it twice in a row on my way to and from work and have actually taken some suggestions I've learned in the "book" and applied to my everyday life.
If you are stuck in a rut and looking for some motivation to "get out" I would suggest getting a copy of this audio book.

Best Self-Improvement Program is now Even Better
I'd been fortunate enough to find the book and original cassette version of this program on amazon years ago. I listened to the tape so many times while driving that I wore it out. This 8 CD set has a lot more information than the original. You can tell Mr. Kyriazi has continued to learn and practice his techniques.

From the introduction by David Hedison (Felix Leiter in two of the James Bond movies) through the "Clearing the Subconscious Mind" session on the last CD, this set places a powerful set of tools in your hands. Tools you can use to improve your lifestyle.

Since I first listened to Mr. Kyriazi's program, I've upgraded my life signifcantly. I found my "Bond girl," got my first novel published, and drive a new Mustang GT. I don't know if any of these things would have happened if I hadn't discovered (and implemented) these well-thought out and explained techniques. Thanks, Paul!

I can't recommend this strongly enough to anyone who is interested in improving his lifestyle. ... Read more
