SYNOPSIS:

HER gaat over Theodore Twombly (Joaquin Phoenix) , een complex en gevoelig man die zijn geld verdient door middel van schrijven van persoonlijke en liefdevolle brieven in opdracht van andere mensen. Nog vol verdriet door het stuklopen van zijn jarenlange relatie, raakt hij geïntrigeerd door een nieuw geavanceerd computersysteem, wat een geheel eigen identiteit vormt op basis van de voorkeuren van de gebruiker. Wanneer hij het systeem activeert, ontmoet hij Samantha (Scarlett Johansson), een vrouwelijke stem met een verrassend menselijk gevoel voor humor en empathie. Hun vriendschap verdiept zich steeds meer door alle input en ervaringen die Theodore en Samantha met elkaar delen, en lijkt tot liefde te evolueren.

The Belgian Journalist/Music-Promoter Annik Honoré, who was the paramour of Joy Division singer Ian Curtis, has died at the age of 56 this Thursday, July 3, following a serious illness. This has been confirmed via close family. 

Honoré was born in Belgium on 12 October 1957. As a teenager she became interested in rock music, attending various concerts in London as well as other locations. She moved to London in 1979, taking a job as a secretary at the Belgian Embassy.

In late 1979, Honoré and journalist Michel Duval began promoting musical performances at the Plan K venue in Brussels. Joy Division, and two other groups performed on the club's opening night on 16 October. A few months later, in 1980, Honoré and Duval founded Factory Benelux as a Continental offshoot of Factory Records as well as Les Disques du Crépuscule, an independent Belgian music label.

According to Honoré in a 2010 interview, her relationship with Ian Curtis before his death in 1980 was entirely platonic. Curtis' widow, Deborah Curtis has characterised the relationship as an "affair", which she claims began in August 1979.

Honoré left the music business in the mid-1980s and afterwards worked for the EU in Brussels. 

The fourth season from Boardwalk Empire out on 20th August 2014 on Blu-ray™ and DVD.

Summary: Season four picks up in 1924 and Nucky has new problems in the form of Valentin Narcisse (Jeffrey Wright) and FBI Agent Loren Knox (Brian Geraghty). Patricia Arquette joins the cast as a speakeasy owner named Sally Wheet.

Atlantic City, February 1924: After barely surviving an overthrow by gangster Gyp Rossetti, Nucky Thompson (Golden Globe winner and Emmy nominee Steve Buscemi) is laying low at the end of the Boardwalk. But the calm will be short-lived, as Nucky faces new challenges, including a clash with the mayor, a battle with his brother Eli (Shea Whigham) over Elis college-age son, and the irresistible lure of lucrative and perilous opportunities in Florida.

In the first episode of the fourth season, Nucky makes a peace offering to Joe Masseria (Ivo Nandi) while working the odds with Arnold Rothstein (Michael Stuhlbarg). While Chalky (Michael Kenneth Williams) is busy running the Onyx Club on the Boardwalk, the impulsive Dunn Purnsley (Erik LaRay Harvey) clashes with a booking agent. Gillian (Gretchen Mol) seeks custody of her grandson while trying to find a good man to keep the Artemis Club afloat. Al Capone (Stephen Graham) enlists his brothers to help him expand his business in the Chicago suburb of Cicero, while Richard Harrow (Jack Huston) returns to his violent ways.

Boardwalk Empire also stars Kelly Macdonald as Margaret, Nuckys estranged wife; Michael Shannon as former Federal Agent Nelson Van Alden, caught up in gangland conflicts; Vincent Piazza as gangster Lucky Luciano; Paul Sparks as Mickey Doyle, head of Nuckys bootlegging operation; and Anthony Laciura as Eddie Kessler, Nuckys longtime valet.

New cast members for season four include Jeffrey Wright as Valentin Narcisse, a violent Harlem power broker who tries to muscle in on Chalkys action; Ron Livingston as Roy Phillips, a businessand romantic prospect of Gillians; Patricia Arquette as Sally Wheet, a Florida speakeasy owner; Brian Geraghty as Federal Agent Warren Knox; and Domenick Lombardozzi and Morgan Spector as Al Capones brothers, Ralph and Frank.

DUTCH VERSION:

Sommige acteurs lijken wel geboren om een bepaalde rol te spelen. Steve Buscemi is er zo een. Zijn vertolking van Nucky Thompson in het veelvuldig bekroonde Boardwalk Empire is z’n Heilige Graal, en dat bewijst hij in dit vierde seizoen nog maar eens. Na de confrontatie met Gyp Rosetti is Nucky van plan om zich wat gedeisd te houden, maar het bloed kruipt waar het niet gaan kan, met alle gevolgen van dien…

Het vierde en voorlaatste seizoen van het spraakmakende Boardwalk Empire is vanaf 20 augustus beschikbaar op Blu-ray™ en DVD.

SYNOPSIS

Het vierde seizoen herneemt de verhaallijnen zowat acht maanden na het einde van seizoen 3, meer bepaald in februari 1924, het jaar waarin jazz "voor het eerst echt zijn stempel wist te drukken" en het uitgaansleven op en neer deinde als de alomtegenwoordige Charleston.

Nadat hij ternauwernood een machtsgreep van Gyp Rossetti overleefde, probeert Nucky Thompson zich aan het begin van seizoen 4 gedeisd te houden. Al snel ligt hij echter weer overhoop met Burgemeester Bader, gaat hij in de clinch met zijn broer Eli over het lot van diens jongvolwassen zoon Willie, en zet hij zijn zinnen op een lucratieve landinvestering in Tampa.

Becoming Harrow (BD, DVD)

Trepaneringsritualen explores themes of religion, magick and the hidden realms of consciousness, taking its musical cues from the old school of ritual ambient & death industrial. Rhythmic and seething at times, and oozing forward with a creeping sense of desolation at others, Trepaneringsritualen conjures forth bleak but mesmerizing visions of the end-times.

“Perfection & Permanence”: a hymn to Isis; a further exploration of the duality of the holy further exploration of the duality of the holy harlot, the black skinned Magdalen, mother and concert of the Christ; Yeshua Ben Yosef, son of MAN; the shameful dead, those who sold their brothers, condemned to forever roam the earth; to transgress the abyss, to mortify flesh, towards cosmic renovation. It is lonely, it is awful; on the verge of physical death, but still unable to understand; absolute perfection may be attained through WILL. A conversation with angels, in archaic tongues; Eiríkr inn Sigrsæli sold his blood and kin to desert rats for corporeal power. Eirikr, we spit on you; from across the abyss, it rises. Ceaseless, blood-churning, terrible; an incoherent accusation by the mirror image, he who’s blood was shed to atone another man’s sins. Without bloodshed there can be no salvation.

From 5th August 2014 you can find Gomorra on both DVD and Blu-ray, in the Benelux by Lumière. This quality series about the Napolitan mafia shows things like they really are.
Based on the book by Roberto Saviano.

The series in 12 episodes follows after the huge movie hit 'Gomorra' and is directed by Stefano Sollima (Romanzo Criminale).

Author Roberto Saviano about GOMORRA – THE SERIES:
"We've tried to dismantle criminal power, which is exactly the opposite of what they want. We won't celebrate it nor show the heroic or dramatic aspects with which the Mafia likes to identify and portray itself towards the public.We've tried to show the various levels, make everyone realize: "This problem also concerns me". Actually, the aim is to bring the topic of the Mafia into the world, push Western democracies, and to take a clear stand. I hope that these stories reach a broad audience, in order to help us understand that a series, a book, in other words, a work of art, can change the course of things, especially when it activates empathy: this problem pertains to us all - these solutions pertain to us all."

GOMORRA – DE SERIE volgt van binnenuit de Camorra, de genadeloze Napolitaanse maffia, door de ogen van de jonge Ciro Di Marzio. Ciro is de trouwe rechterhand van godfather Pietro Savastano en mentor van diens zoon Gennaro, die allesbehalve klaar is om zijn vader op te volgen aan het hoofd van de organisatie. Wanneer Pietro bij een nutteloze wraakactie verschillendeleden van zijn eigen clan opoffert, breekt er iets in Ciro. Hij vertrouwt zijn baas niet langer. Als Pietro vervolgens in de cel belandt, ziet Ciro de kans schoon om chaos te zaaien en een machtsstrijd te ontbinden. Hij komt lijnrecht tegenover de Savastano’s te staan en ontketent zo een bloedige bendeoorlog die zich uitspreidt over heel Napels.
