Excerpt: Balls of Fury is a 2007 American sports comedy film starring Dan Fogler and Christopher Walken. It was directed by Ben Garant and was released on August 29, 2007. The film begins at the table tennis finals of the 1988 Olympics. Twelve-year old Randy Daytona is the American contender. He is anxious, and his anxiety increases when his father says that he bet on him despite his original promise not to. His opponent is Karl Wolfschtagg from the German Democratic Republic. During the intense first point, Daytona runs back too far and hits his head on the table. This loss, combined with the fact his father, who bet on his son to win, was killed by Triad agents of the criminal Feng, causes Daytona to leave competitive ping pong in disgrace. Nineteen years later, Daytona is working at the Peppermill Casino in Reno, Nevada, doing table tennis routines. After getting kicked out (for scaring someone that unexpectedly caused a heart attack), Daytona meets FBI agent Ernie Rodriguez who requests his assistance in taking down Feng. Daytona eventually agrees as Rodriguez informs Daytona that he needs to win some championships in order to be noticed by Feng's scouts. After losing at a local tournament to get to state, Daytona is brought to a Chinatown noodle shop to be apprenticed under a blind man named Wong, who was Feng's former mentor. Wong, even constantly calling Daytona a "Gwai-lo" (Cantonese slang for Caucasian, meaning "white ghost"), recognizes Daytona's talent. With his niece Maggie aiding Daytona, Wong chides him in his training until China Town locals vandalize Master Wong's house for him going against their edict of teaching white people ...http://booksllc.net/?id=8360654 ...

Dans une famille nomade de Mongolie, une petite fille trouve un chien et veut le garder. Le film est inspiré d'un conte mongol "la caverne du chien jaune" de Gantuya Lahgva. Cet hymne à la vie simple, qui se situe à la lisière du documentaire et de la fiction, nous montre que le paradis n'est peut-être pas encore tout à fait perdu pour tout le monde. Beau, poétique et authentique sont les adjectifs qui nous viennent alors à l'esprit.

Product Description
They stole $16,421,808 last week. You could add up the lifetime take for Jesse James, John Dillinger and Willie Sutton, then throw in the Great Brinks Robbery and it wouldn’t be close to what these four men had just taken, but this was just a so-so week. Moreover, these people had no fear of being caught because they knew the money would never be missed. In fact, they planned to do it again next week just like they had every week for over two decades.Over the last 20 years Tom Baldwin, technical genius, founder and CEO of the firm that manufactures and services all state lottery machines and numbered ping pong balls, has supplied his deep cover CIA associates with all winning lottery numbers. He controls the lotteries each week using on-line computers, concealed electromagnets in the machines and metal-based paint on pre-selected ping pong balls.Over $22 Billion has been deposited to The CIA’s Discretionary Fund through Tom’s efforts. As advancing age and declining health push him closer to the day on which he must hand the controls over to younger men, he decides to reacquaint himself with his three estranged grandchildren who have not seen or heard from him in over 16 years, and give each of them the key to the lottery in their state.Three compelling subplots diverge as each grandchild follows a different path with their newfound wealth. The story builds to a tense and unnerving crescendo as their inability to control the greed within and around them begins to topple the lottery scheme and the CIA itself.No one appears to escape the evil seduction of power brought about by the sudden availability of unlimited amounts of money. However, the unexpected but quite believable twist in the last scene will cause the reader to question whether the story is fact or fiction. ... Read more
