Rutger Hauer (Blade Runner) and Malcolm McDowell (Hidalgo) star in this dark tale of forgery, deceit, murder and betrayal, an American art appraiser, Patrick Donovan, is sent to Venice to authenticate three classical paintings belonging to the famous Galleria dell'Accademia. Just as he confirms that two of the paintings are indeed authentic, 'The Tempest' is stolen in a violent attack, which leaves Donovan and Chiara, the beautiful daughter of the director of the Galleria, injured. Police and media interest is high and Donovan unwittingly finds himself at the centre of the investigation into the disappearance of the priceless masterpiece. What follows is a highly stylised and complex web of mystery, intrigue and betrayal, which unfolds against the ghostly backdrop of the Venetian waterways.

African American and Magical DVDs: Lucky Mojo Catalogue

LAMINATED CLASSIC MOVIE POSTER REPRODUCTIONS Why these categories? Allow me to explain: AFRICAN AMERICAN FILMS, ALL COLORED CAST MOVIES, ALL NEGRO CAST FILMS AND RACE MOVIES, It has been my experience as a teacher of hoodoo -- which is essentially African American folk magic -- that many people i meet through the internet are greatly interested in the subject, but among those who come to hoodoo from outside the black community, there is a woeful lack of understanding of how conjure fits into African American culture. In fact, there is often a total sense of unfamiliarity with African American culture at all, and worse, some folks act as if possessing hoodoo knowledge were simply a matter of "translating" spells and ingredients from conjure into their culture's magical traditions. But the truth is, hoodoo is embedded in African American culture and if you want to learn how it works, you will have to learn how it works in the Black community first and foremost. I don't run a "friend finder" service here, so i cannot make sure that customers and students who are White or Asian will meet and make frinds with Black folks. Likewise, the internet being what it is, i cannot even be sure that anyone reading this page lives within a thousand miles of an African American neighborhood. So i am doing the next best thing i can think of: I am offering for sale an assortment of low-priced DVDs that display some aspects of the culture in which hoodoo developed. The movies sold here are not new -- they are old and most in black and white, and for that reason they can be purchased inexpensively. For the most part they are what were once called "Race Movies" or movies that were billed as having an "All Colored Cast" or "All Negro Cast." They were produced to be shown in segregated theaters to Black audiences, mostly before World War Two. Some of the movies in this category are dramas, some are comedies, westerns, thrillers, or religious -- and many of them feature musical and/or dance numbers in addition to the goings on of the plots.

San Diego Asian Film Festival 2007 Presents : Blackout

FILM SYNOPSIS Philippines 2006 | Run time: 85 min. | Director: Renato Bautista Subtly hypnotizing and boldly told, Ato Bautista's savvy second feature film reinvigorates the Filipino thriller. Gil (Robin Padilla), a lowly apartment landlord, suffers frequent blackouts due to his heavy drinking. His inability to control his alcoholism drives his wife away, leaving Gil to take care of his lovable son, Nino (John Michael Reyes). In despair, Gil promises to quit drinking and reunify the family. But one night, Gil experiences another blackout. This time, he is left with a mysterious bloody rear bumper on his tattered Mercedes. In the calamitous aftermath his life spirals into hysteria as he struggles to uncover the real story hidden by his fragmented viewpoint, one where the lines between real and unreal are blurred. Bautista plays with rapid imagery through deftly edited sequences to parallel Gil's scattered mind. Delivering a powerful, nuanced performance, Padilla captures one man's desperate attempt to regain a normal, sober life for his beloved family. He is accompanied by Iza Calzado, who gives a haunting portrayal of Belen, the estranged neighbor.
