Excerpt: John Woo Yu-Sen (born 1 May 1946) is a Chinese film director and producer from Hong Kong. Recognized for his stylized films of highly choreographed action sequences, Mexican standoffs, and use of slow-motion, Woo has directed several notable Hong Kong action films, among them, A Better Tomorrow, Hard Boiled, and The Killer. His Hollywood films include Windtalkers, Hard Target, Broken Arrow, Face/Off, and Mission: Impossible 2. He also created the comic series Seven Brothers, published by Virgin Comics. Woo was described by Dave Kehr in The Observer in 2002 as "arguably the most influential director making movies today". Woo cites his three favorite films as David Lean's Lawrence of Arabia, Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai and Melville's Le Samouraï. Woo was born amidst the chaos of the Chinese Civil War in 1946. The Christian Woo family, faced with persecution during Mao Zedong's early anti-bourgeois-Nationalist purges after the communist takeover of China, fled to Hong Kong when he was five. His father was rendered unable to work by tuberculosis. Impoverished, the Woo family lived in the slums at Shek Kip Mei. Woo went to Concordia Lutheran School and received Christian education. His Christian background shows influences in his films. The family was rendered homeless by the big Shek Kip Mei fire of 1953. Charitable donations from disaster relief efforts enabled the family to relocate, however, violent crime had by then become commonplace in Hong...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=15571 ... Read more

Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Wong Kar-wai est un réalisateur, scénariste, et producteur hongkongais né le 17 juillet 1958 à Shanghai en Chine. Né à Shanghai, il émigre à Hong Kong avec sa mère à l'âge de cinq ans. Son père, directeur d'hôtel, qui aurait dû les rejoindre avec ses deux autres enfants, reste bloqué en Chine par la Révolution Culturelle. La séparation dure une dizaine d'années. Cet exil familial, doublé d'un exil culturel et linguistique (le jeune Wong Kar-wai ne parle que le mandarin, il éprouve des difficultés pour s'adapter au cantonais de Hong-Kong), explique peut-être l'importance de la séparation, de l'errance (thème récurrent de l'"oiseau sans pattes" qui ne se pose que pour mourir), et surtout de la mémoire dans l'œuvre du cinéaste. Dès cette période, il fréquente assidûment les cinémas avec sa mère, et est marqué par le cinéma "classique" hollywoodien. Étudiant en arts graphiques à l'École Polytechnique de Hong Kong, il se passionne pour la photographie. Il découvre le cinéma européen, et notamment les cinéastes français de la Nouvelle Vague. Il obtient son diplôme en 1980. Après être entré comme assistant de production pour la chaîne Hong Kong Television Broadcasts (HKTVB), il devient scénariste de télévision à plein temps et écrit notamment le « soap opera » Don't Look Now qui est un grand succès. Il quitte la chaîne pour entrer dans le département scénario de Cinema City qu'il quitte pour devenir indépendant. Il est crédité de plus de 10 scénarios entre 1982 et 1987, comédies romantiques, drames ou film de k...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Andy Lau (en sinogrammes simplifiés ; en sinogrammes traditionnels ; en pinyin ) est un acteur et chanteur hong-kongais né le 27 septembre 1961 à Hong Kong. Sa carrière a été lancée par ses participations dans des séries télévisées comme Eagle Hunter ou Retour of Condors Heroes. Il fait ses débuts au grand écran en 1982 avec la comédie dramatique Boat People de la réalisatrice Ann Hui. Le premier réalisateur à lui donner un rôle important est Wong Kar-wai avec As Tears Go By en 1988, année où Andy Lau enchaîne les longs métrages. Mais ce n'est qu'en 2000 que la consécration arrive enfin, avec le titre de meilleur acteur aux Hong Kong Film Awards, pour sa performance dans Running Out of Time de Johnnie To. D'autres rôles, dans Infernal Affairs ou Running on Karma lui ont valu des moments de gloire supplémentaire. Sa performance dans le film Protégé de Derek Yee, aux côtés de Daniel Wu, est une autre preuve de sa qualité d'acteur et de sa prestance à l'écran. En occident, il est surtout connu pour sa présence au casting des films Le Secret des poignards volants ou encore Les Seigneurs de la guerre, avec Jet Li et Takeshi Kaneshiro, ou encore Les Trois Royaumes : la résurrection du Dragon. Mais plus qu'un acteur confirmé, Andy Lau est aussi un chanteur célèbre dans toute l'Asie. Avec Jacky Cheung, Leon Lai et Aaron Kwok, Andy Lau était parmi les chanteurs les plus populaires des années 1990, et les médias les appelaient les "Quatre Rois du Ciel" (四大天王). En Chine continentale, il est une star majeure, ce qui explique sa participation à l'élaboratio...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Product Description
The advent of exchange-traded funds, or ETFs, was nothing short of a financial revolution when the first one debuted in 1993. Able to trade baskets of financial instruments with the ease, transparency, and certainty of trading a single stock, ETFs rapidly attracted investor interest, and today the over 900 ETFs boast nearly $1 trillion in assets. The sector is one of Wall Street’s most successful innovations.

Taking advantage of the diversity in ETF offerings now as well as the myriad ways in which they can be used in portfolio strategy, Leeb’s Cash Cow is designed to give investors everything they need in order to capitalize on the deep, long-term trends we see developing in the markets and the global economy. And there is plenty to consider. Chindia continues its inexorable rise to economic domination, having game-changing effects on commodities and raw materials the world over. The U.S. economy continues to sputter halfway between first and second gear, keeping our stock market in a holding pattern, while fiscal stimulus debases the U.S. dollar and sends gold to record prices. In the meantime, there are significant forces at work within global economies, especially Europe, as sovereign debt levels of a few years ago are now rightly seen as unsustainable.

Through ETFs, we can navigate these waters with lower risk and more precise investment focus. And the timing is right: developed economies are recovering while developing ones continue to pursue paths requiring massive amounts of investment, materials and capital. Cash Cow will be there every step of the way, with highly efficient vehicles designed to give you the maximum upside to these trends with the lowest risk. Welcome aboard! ... Read more
