Review - Stargate Atlantis Season 5 on DVD

Season Five of Stargate Atlantis includes a major story arc that began in Stargate SG1. The idea that the lost city of Atlantis, a story that has triggered the imagination of mankind for centuries, actually a town-ship and in another galaxy, there is a big one. The Greek philosopher Plato introduced and clad narrator of the story a fantastic island-city half-god/half-human citizens. Would it were true.

Last season began with the discovery and Atlantisresulted in bringing the ship's island home to Earth. It is one of the wonderful things about science fiction, the present as much fun - what could be. Atlantis is probably real ... it could be found somewhere in the universe. Humanity would have sown by being more developed. I like that the ancients were not perfect. The character of Daniel Jackson in Stargate SG1 had more interaction with them than most others and the authors of the exhibition, we want to see that even "superior" beingshave errors. Because certainly I know, are not errors in the real world perfectly ... ... and who they want to be?

Fifth Season also had a permanent change of command at the Atlantis control room. The character of Richard Woolsey appeared as a ladder. Robert Picardo, Woolsey being played, is a gifted and versatile actor. I loved his character portrayal of the Doctor on "Star Trek: Voyager". An actor playing a hologram, how to become a "real". A challenge met Picardowell.

When he first time in Stargate SG1 as International Oversight Committee rep Richard Woolsey, I was not like that character. Woolsey was a man of rules and regulations, and there were times when you were not sure he was a good guy or a bad guy. But time seemed to Woolsey in the fifth season of Stargate Atlantis, was known, appeared on which side of his bread the butter. He was not just a good guy, he turned out to be a good leader. Of course, everyone knows theStargate Atlantis and Stargate SG1 hardly needs an in-depth profile of this character.

The character of Captain James T. Kirk in the film industry, "Star Trek: The Final Frontier", a great line about flawed nature, he says, when invited to respond in order to have taken his pain with, "... Damn it, Bones, you're a doctor. You know that pain and guilt do not take off with a wave of a wand. These are the things we carry with us the things that make us who we are. If we losethem, we lose ourselves. I will not take my pain! I need my pain !..."

Of course, Stargate Atlantis Season Five wraps the shortcomings of the Wraith and Michael - the Wraith that would be --human and replicators [arc is another story, by about Stargate SG1]. We come to see how the character Tayla treated as a warrior-mother, and we receive a notice that the character of Ronan could finally find romance. All said and done everything, it is a satisfactory season.

So many goodSign, as a good season, it was a shame for you to see it pass. This is a fan who is unfortunately seen, concluded, but now look forward to the next spin-off show: Stargate Universe.

Confessions of a Curehead, Part Six


1982 The single "Let's Go To Bed, which had been the exact opposite of what the Cure, was surprisingly (or perhaps not so surprisingly) it was a minor hit, despite the fact that Smith had publicly mocked and ridiculed the song. Despite the relative success, Smith seemed more disinterested, The Cure or abandoning, at least leave the task of Tolhurst was the only other member of the Banshees and then join. However, in July 1983, The> Cure apparently not letting released another single, "The Walk, which broke the Top Twenty in October of that year and then repeated the trick with the classic Love Cats to a British Top Ten. All of these singles and their B-sides were collected at the end of compilation album Japanese Whispers.

Fans were confused, Smith received countless amounts of hate mail against the continuation of The Cure's 'madness', which he collected against so ridiculous. It was his band,what he could do what he wanted and he did appear, both with The Cure and The Banshees on the Christmas edition of Top of the Pops, seems really crazy driving his followers was that the intended effect? They felt guilty a little more, after all that they followed him into hell with pornography, he was simply there to have them there? He continued his artistic schizoid hikes, which deals with albums for both bands early 1984. Proof in the pudding, that was the cureRobert Smith, was the fact that he played all the instruments except drums and saxophone on the resulting album The Top (1984).

Poker Movies - The Sting

I remember now to The Sting, as I do not deal in poker. In fact, I think if I saw it (because my father had a video and wanted to see him, so everyone else had), I did not know how to play poker. Despite the fact that the film captured the interest of everyone in the room, and we all ended up tied up on the screen. With Robert Redford and Paul Newman as the main characters, this was no surprise.

The film revolves around Johnny Hooker (RobertRedford) tries to avenge the death of his friend and mentor Luther Coleman (Robert Earl Jones). Coleman was killed by Doyle Lonnegan (Robert Shaw), a notorious gangster and players. In the coming up with a detailed plan for Lonnegan stunt and ultimately destroy it, it takes the help Gordoff Hooker Henry (Paul Newman), who will be the greatest deceiver of all time.

In case there are those who have not seen the film, I'll refrain from spillingMore details and give spoilers (as I unfortunately not with The Cincinnati Kid). However, we simply say that the film believes that there is justice in this world. Is that enough for you?

The trick is in fact one of the best movies you can watch about poker and gambling in general. In fact, thousands and thousands of people will agree with you, as it was one of the most popular films of the early 70s. It boasts of 7 Academy Awards, which include best film, best director,Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Score.

Here you will find more interesting information about the film from the Wikipedia entry about The Sting made:

* There have been plans for a prequel to The Sting. The film was based on the early days of Gondorff Henry (Paul Newman). His mentor was the notorious 19th Century confidence man Soapy Smith, known as the king of the border fraudsters. The plans were scrapped after the failure of the episode, actor Jackie Gleason.

* Harold Gould'sCharacter, "Kid Twist", said that nickname (though obviously not the profession) of at least two different mob killer, Max and Abe Reles Zwerbach.

* At the beginning of the film finds Robert Redford Paul Newman, where he and his wife allegedly operating a carousel in Chicago. As the scene begins, they show the carousel building from a remote location with a shot into the background scenery. The shot is actually the carousel on the Santa Monica Pier in California and the city in theBackground was painted, and about what actually the Pacific Ocean.

* At the beginning of the film, Universal Pictures logo from 1936 (the glass art deco world with the words "A Universal Picture") is used instead of the contemporary version of the film establishing time setting.

The Alternative Music Played by The Cure

The Cure first formed in 1976 and would continue for a few decades behind. Like Fleetwood Mac, The Cure would have seen some changes in their lineup, with only one remaining through the entire life of the band. The member who was with the band from the start, is is Robert Smith, the guitarist and main songwriter of the group. The major music genres that The Cure will focus on the post-punk, alternative rock, gothic rock and new wave. It is a veryVariation, many of them have enjoyed by listening to The Cure, both the past, present, and more than likely the future.

Despite the different genres of music they play, they become one of the most popular alternative rock bands in the world in the 1990s and have sold millions of albums. In fact, done a count in 2004, expects that The Cure has sold around 27 million albums, since it was first established in 1976. During the duration of the band have always quick to sharenumerous albums. A view of the fact that The Cure has released a total of 12 albums and show 30 Singles over the last two years would be just about anyone that they constantly work on their music. Looking at the history of the band, one can see that they have passed through a series of phases where they focus more on one genre than any other, like their Gothic period in the early 1980s and the alternative rock phase, after 1990. However, it seems that according to theirChange alternative rock, they have continued to concentrate more on this particular genre, perhaps because it is the popular genre today. While many still enjoy the other genres, alternative rock is appealing to more of the population than the other genres.

From the time the band had been formed until 2008, The Cure successfully in the release of the 13 studio albums, which continue to sell, although none of all the original band remained, with the exception ofRobert Smith. The others are current members of the band Simon Gallup, with the band since 1979, although a break from the band in the early 1980s, Porl Thompson, with the band since 1976, and Jason Cooper, who is the newest member after the accession in 1995. In addition to the four current members, has seen the Cure eight other members come and go as Lol Tolhurst, Michael Dempsey, Perry Bamonte and Roger O'Donnell, to name a few. EachFind member had his own reasons for leaving the band, as a loss of interest or lack of other interests outside of The Cure. The change of the members do not appear to have slowed the healing much, if at all. Apart from the music that they have set over the decades out of service, they have completed and produced music videos for a few awards. They have been successful in the past thirty years, and they will probably continue to be successful until the time comes when the band. Dissolve
