Extrait : Sir Alfred Hitchcock, KBE, né Alfred Joseph Hitchcock (Leytonstone, banlieue londonienne, 13 août 1899 - Bel Air, Los Angeles, 29 avril 1980), est un réalisateur, producteur et scénariste de cinéma britanno-américain. Après une carrière à succès dans son pays natal à l'époque du muet et au début du parlant, Hitchcock part s'installer à Hollywood. En avril 1955, il acquiert la citoyenneté américaine, tout en conservant sa citoyenneté britannique. Au cours de ses quelque soixante années de carrière, il réalise plus de cinquante longs métrages, dont certains comptent, tant par leur succès public que par leur réception et leur postérité critiques, parmi les plus importants du septième art : ce sont, entre autres, Les 39 marches, Les Enchaînés, Fenêtre sur cour, Sueurs froides, La Mort aux trousses, Psychose, ou encore Les Oiseaux.

Product Description
Iron Man is a 2008 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name. Directed by Jon Favreau, the film stars Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, a billionaire industrialist and master engineer who builds a powered exoskeleton and becomes the technologically advanced superhero, Iron Man. Gwyneth Paltrow plays his personal assistant Pepper Potts, Terrence Howard plays military liaison James Rhodes and Jeff Bridges plays Stark Industries executive Obadiah Stane. The film was in development since 1990 at Universal Studios, 20th Century Fox, and New Line Cinema, before Marvel Studios reacquired the rights in 2006. Marvel put the project in production as its first self-financed film. Favreau signed on as director, aiming for a naturalistic feel, and he chose to shoot the film primarily in California, rejecting the East Coast setting of the comics to differentiate the film from numerous superhero films set in New York City-esque environments. ...

Environmental justice now!
This may well be the saddest book I ever read and one of the most important. In "Wasting Libby", environmental journalist Andrea Peacock tells the tragic story of Libby, Montana, a small town where the W.R. Grace Corporation ran a vermiculite mine that contaminated the soil and air with a virulent form of asbestos, causing an epidemic amongst its workers and the entire community with asbestos-related illnesses like mesotheolioma, lung cancer, fibrosis, and asbestosis. Despite the fact that the corporation knew that its product was lethal, they provided no protection for its workers and their families and even allowed the Little league baseball fields to be polluted with its poison, the local high school and middle school running tracks to be paved with mine tailings, and an elementary school ice skating rink to be constructed with its ore. And this is only a small handful of environmental crimes this nefarious company committed. In fact, over 35 million buildings in the United States, including the World Trade Center, have been insulated with this poisonous ore. Beyond the issue of vermiculite mining, Peacock also reveals the corporation's sinister connections to South American and German Nazis. At one time, the company even hired Otto Ambrose, a convicted Nazi war criminal, as a consultant. In summary, this is the kind of eye-opening, muckracking journalism that CounterPunch is known for and one of the best of the many excellent books published in the AK Press/CounterPunch series. While I can't say that this is a pleasant book to read, it is a book that you nevertheless have to read. I really can't recommend it enough. ... Read more

You Must Have this in Your Home!!
After looking at some old Sea Hunt episodes on TV.com, I started to reminisce about the first time I saw these shows (at age 13).In one of the episodes "The Lost Ones", Mr. Bridges' wife and son, Jeff, starred along with him.So I started googling Mr. Bridges' life and found that Dorothy Bridges (his wife) was a poet.And so, I purchased "You Caught Me Kissing: A Love Story.This book is one of the most passionate and real love stories I've read.They met in the 1930's, fell deeply in love, and it all started with an unsigned Valentine card from Lloyd "Bud" to his Dorothy.She knew who sent it, and from that day forward, she wrote a Valentine to him every year until her death in 2009.Each poem tells a story about their life and love, through the years, and it's never ending strength that would not break under any circumstance.As you read her poems, you get caught up in their strength as love remains but changes over the years.Their foundation was so strong, it carried them through.Anyone who has been married for a long time, in a relationship, or in love will identify with this beautiful book.I cried by the end of the book because it brought out what lives in my heart, and keep it at my bedside to read now and then.The photos of their life and children are very special.Some of the poems are still in old type form or hand written.What a special family.What a special woman.You won't be dissappointed in this book.

Truly a lovely, touching book
I watched "Sea Hunt" as a child and I recently learned that the series was available on DVD.I rediscovered my attraction to star Lloyd Bridges and his endearing portrayal of good guy expert diver Mike Nelson. I wanted to find a bio on him and found that his beloved wife Dorothy wrote this wonderful, delicious book about her husband Lloyd, their special love, their marriage, their kids, and included beautiful photos of themselves throughout their relationship. Reading this book, which includes Valentine poems that she wrote to him throughout their 60 year marriage, made me cry and smile. I feel like I knew this warm, talented woman and her handsome international film star husband and devoted father of her three children. The pictures just radiate their love. I love this book. Her poems will touch any wife who has been long married and enjoys romance in her married life. Dorothy died just months before son Jeff Bridges won the Oscar this year and I recalled his touching acceptance speech and words to his late parents, "Look Mom and Dad what I did!!!" What a wonderful family.

A Wife Pleaser!!

by Dorothy Bridges, for my wife as a Christmas present... She loves the book!It's well written, funny, and romantic!Great for anyone who likes Biographies or Personal-Interest type books.She has already read it several times!

This is true love...
I have the pleasure of knowing the author, Dorothy Bridges.I knew her years ago when she and Lloyd had a home in Bear Valley, Ca.I waitied on them often at the grocery store where I was a checker.They held hands as they shopped.They are and were a love story, this book is very touching.

She and I loved to chat so she always came through my line at the store.She was the star in my eyes, I feel honored to know this awesome mother and wife...she raised stars, literally!Dorothy if you ever read this, hello from Jude from Applewood Market!I now live in Oregon on the coast and it was a pleasure reading your book!

A Love Story in Poetry
Readers who believe they are going to read a biography written by Lloyd Bridges' wife might be disappointed.This book is a collection of beautifully composed poetry written by the author of love "songs" to her husband over many years.As I could only read the poetry one or two book chapters at a time, as it is very sentimental, what a great way to start the day with a cup of coffee in one hand and a fist-full of love in the other.No deep plots here, no brain-teasers; just a thank you to Mrs. Bridges for sharing her love story with us. ...
