Focus Features


A young journalist student, Sondra Pransky, travels from America to England to interview a famous actor. After the not-so-complete interview her friend and she go to a magic show. When selected to take part in one of the acts Sondra is contacted by a recently deceased famous journalist who is determined to give her his last scoop. He tells her that the son of Lord Lyman, Peter Lyman, is the tarot card killer.

Velas que ardem...até ao fim!

Consegui comprar o livro, que parecia esgotado em todas a lojas, a saber:

Bertrand - CC Colombo
Bertrand - Amoreiras
Fnac - CC Colombo
Elcorte Inglés

até que, quase com a paciência em chamas, (em vez de as velas...) encontrei um exemplar único - Livraria Bulhosa das Amoreiras.

O Imperador de Portugal, Selma Lagerlöf


Há quem admita que a história de O Imperador de Portugal tenha sido por inspiração a vida de Joshua Abraham Norton, um estranho personagem da cidade de São Francisco, na Califórnia, que em 1859 se auto-intitulou Norton I, Imperador destes Estados Unidos e Protector do México, chegou a cunhar moeda, se correspondeu com a rainha Vitória e foi sempre tratado com deferência pelos seus conterrâneos. Esta é, com efeito, a história de um pobre camponês da Suécia, que acabou por enlouquecer com o facto de a filha ir para Estocolmo para ganhar o dinheiro necessário ao pagamento de uma dívida de família. O homem passou a aguardar quase diariamente, no embarcadouro, o regresso da filha. E um dia em que lhe fizeram algumas insinuações sobre os verdadeiros motivos da ausência da menina, Jan declarou: «Quando a Imperatriz Clara de Portugal chegar aqui ao embarcadouro, com uma coroa de oiro na cabeça… veremos se te atreves a dizer-lhe na cara o que hoje me disseste a mim». A partir de então, o homem tornou-se Johannes de Portugal...O presente romance, uma das obras-primas da literatura sueca, é a história de uma amor profundo, que une pai e filha, e também a descrição da morte do mundo das tradições rurais, e da emergência do novo mundo, urbano e desapiedado, que o veio substituir.

Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom


Elizabeth II (Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor; born 21 April 1926) is Queen of 16 sovereign states, holding each crown and title equally. However, she is more directly involved with the United Kingdom, where the Royal Family resides, and the Monarchy is historically indigenous.
Apart from the United Kingdom, Elizabeth II is also Queen of
Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Jamaica, Barbados, the Bahamas, Grenada, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Antigua and Barbuda, Belize, and Saint Kitts and Nevis, where she is represented by Governors-General. The 16 countries of which she is queen are known as Commonwealth Realms, and their combined population is 128 million.
She is presently the world's only monarch who is simultaneously
Head of State of more than one independent nation. In legal theory she is the most powerful head of state in the world, although in practice she personally exercises very little political executive power.
Elizabeth became Queen of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand,
South Africa, Pakistan and Ceylon upon the death of her father, George VI, on 6 February 1952. As other colonies of the British Empire (now the Commonwealth of Nations) attained independence from the UK during her reign, she acceded to the newly created thrones as Queen of each respective realm so that throughout her 54 years on the throne she has been Monarch of 32 nations, half of which either moved to different royal houses, or became republics.

Former Commonwealth Realms
Elizabeth also holds the positions of
Head of the Commonwealth, Lord High Admiral, Supreme Governor of the Church of England (styled Defender of the Faith) and Lord of Mann. Following tradition, she is also styled Duke of Lancaster and Duke of Normandy. She is also Commander-in-Chief of the Armed forces of many of her Realms.
Elizabeth is currently the
fourth-longest-reigning head of state in the world and the fifth-longest serving British monarch. Her reign of over half a century has seen ten different Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom and numerous Prime Ministers in the Commonwealth Realms of which she is (or was) also Head of State; between them she has had a total of 138 Prime Ministers during her reign.

The Queen


Sinopse
A morte repentina da Princesa Diana deixou o mundo em choque em Agosto de 1997. O universo conservador da rainha de Inglaterra e da Família Real britânica entrou em colisão com um moderno e recém-eleito Primeiro-ministro, Tony Blair. "A Rainha" é um olhar sobre a forma como a Família Real foi afectada e o que aconteceu nos bastidores do poder quando a tragédia bateu à porta. É um filme sobre a batalha entre o que deve ser público e o que é privado, a responsabilidade e a emoção, enquanto uma nação e o mundo se ajoelhavam a chorar a morte da Princesa do Povo, aguardando as reacções dos líderes. Helen Mirren é a rainha, num papel que lhe valeu o Prémio de Melhor Actriz em Veneza. No mesmo certame, o filme, assinado por Stephen Frears, ganhou também o Prémio de Melhor Argumento.

Premiere - Casino royale


http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/casinoroyale/site/


Casino Royale introduces James Bond before he holds his license to kill. But Bond is no less dangerous, and with two professional assassinations in quick succession, he is elevated to '00' status. Bond's first 007 mission takes him to Madagascar where he is to spy on a terrorist, Mollaka. Not everything goes to plan and Bond decides to investigate, independently of MI6, in order to track down the rest of the terrorist cell. Following a lead to the Bahamas, he encounters Dimitrios and his girlfriend, Solange. He learns that Dimitrios is involved with Le Chiffre, banker to the world's terrorist organizations. Secret Service intelligence reveals that Le Chiffre is planning to raise money in a high-stakes poker game in Montenegro at Le Casino Royale. MI6 assigns 007 to play against him, knowing that if Le Chiffre loses, it will destroy his organization. 'M' places Bond under the watchful eye of the beguiling Vesper Lynd. At first skeptical of what value Vesper can provide, Bond's interest in her deepens as they brave danger together and even torture at the hands of Le Chiffre. In Montenegro, Bond allies himself with Mathis MI6's local field agent, and Felix Leiter who is representing the interests of the CIA. The marathon game proceeds with dirty tricks and violence, raising the stakes beyond blood money and reaching a terrifying climax.

Please, enough is enough! No more rain...pls


I am unwritten,
Can't read my mind
I'm undefined
I'm just beginning
The pen's in my hand
Ending unplanned

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words
That you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten OhOh, oh
I break tradition
Sometimes my tries
Are outside the lines
We've been conditioned
To not make mistakes
But I can't live that way oh, oh

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words
That you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lipsdrench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lipsdrench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words

Chocolat


"When a single mother (Juliette Binoche) and her six-year-old daughter move to rural France and open a chocolate shop - with Sunday hours - across the street from the local church, they are met with some skepticism. But as soon as they coax the townspeople into enjoying their delicious products, they are warmly welcomed."

"Vianne Rocher and her young daughter are drifters who are met with skepticism and resistance when they move to a conservative town in rural France and open a chocolate shop during Lent. As Vianne begins to work her magic and help those around her, the townspeople are soon won-over by her exuberance and her delicious chocolates - except for the mayor, who is determined to shut her down. When a group of river drifters visit the town, Vianne teaches the townspeople something about acceptance, and finds love for herself along the way."

1960, small town France. Vianne Rocher and her pre-teen daughter move into town and open a chocolate shop just as lent is beginning. The town's small-minded mayor can't accept this and does his best to shut her down, but her warm personality and incredible chocolates manage to win over many townsfolk. Things get shaken up even more when a group of river drifters, led by Roux, stop into town (to the even greater distress of the mayor) and Vianne takes up with him. Meanwhile, she's been helping Josephine out of her abusive marriage and her equally freethinking landlord, Amande Voisin, get together with her grandson, Luc, whose mother doesn't approve of Amande's ways.
