A man is determined to find justice after the loss of a loved one, even though he is incapable of fully remembering the crime, in this offbeat thriller. Leonard (Guy Pearce) is a man who is struggling to put his life back together after the brutal rape and murder of his wife. But Leonard's problems are different from those of most people in his situation; he was beaten severely by the same man who
Much like The Machinist, I don't think I would give this film a second viewing. Both films rely on the viewer being uncomfortable and in the dark. After finding out the ending, neither film has much left to offer to a second viewer. That being said I did like the film. I'm not sure why so many people drooled over Guy Pierce's performance. He was OK in my mind, but honestly, he seemed to wooden. I
“Recuerda que morirás”
Hace ya más de cien años existía la costumbre de fotografiar a los muertos, ataviados en sus mejores ropas, incluso sentados o acomodados con sus familias, para preservar un último recuerdo de su presencia en la tierra. Aunque en nuestros días la idea es algo macabra, no perdamos de vista que en aquellos [...]

Equilibrium es una película del director Kurt Wimmer. El film se sitúa en un futuro después de la Tercera Guerra Mundial, con la humanidad privada de las emociones por efecto del 'prozium' el opio de las masas y del arma más poderosa que el hombre mismo puede crear: él mismo. Para vigilar y detener a los ofensores sensoriales, el gobierno (un sólo patriarca llamado 'padre' y un consejo) ha d
Our beautiful fish when it was alive.This fish is gigantic for its age, dragon fish lovers will have love the beauty of its size, and body shape for such young age. A pricey fish to keep, but is invaluable to us, it's got very nice body shape, and is a gentle pet in our family as compared to all our previous fishes.

Israel’s Memorial Day (Yom HaZikaron) is devoted to the memory of those who have given their lives so the State of Israel can exist today. Israel’s Independence Day (Yom HaAtzmaut) begins the minute Israel’s Memorial Day ends, and the switch from sorrow to joy is quite sudden and dramatic.
The results of an extensive [...]
Todos conocemos la frase latina "Carpe Diem" (holliwood no tiene fronteras), y todos la hemos hecho nuestra en muchas ocasiones.Vive el momento, aprovecha el día. Existen múltiples traducciones, algunas más ajustadas que otras, pero todas reflejan el espiritu de la sentencia.Lo que no todos conocemos es la segunda sentencia latina que acompañaba en algunas ocasiones al archiconocido Carpe diem: Memento mori."Carpe diem, etsi Memento mori".Vive el día, pero recuerda que vas a morir. Memento mori representa el recuerdo inexcusable de la certeza de la muerte.Es el jarro de agua fría a un lema lúdico y hedonista. Disfruta lo que quieras, pero no olvides que todo esto pasará y llegará la muerte.De nuevo la vida como tránsito fugaz y como tiempo prestado; con una llamada a la humil
Topping the Billboard charts in 1998, Truly Madly Deeply was like a middle school aphrodisiac. It was consistently the last slow dance song played at adolescent functions, and nothing seemed to put girls in the mood like Darren Hayes crooning I want to live like this forever until the sky falls down on me. My brain still conjures up images of frantic preteens scanning the room, hoping someone would sway to the outrageous high notes along with them
It quickly toped the R&B charts, but its probably best remembered for the rendition by Bill Haley and his Comets. While I enjoy Haleys take, theres just no comparing his teenage friendly cover to Turners obscene and highly explicit original. The latters voice oozes soulful seduction. I probably wont even let me daughter listen to it until shes at least thirty because the tunes baby-making timbre might get her pregnant. Im not sure. I havent finished Med School yet
Leonard (Guy Pearce) is an insurance investigator whose memory has been damaged following a head injury he sustained after intervening on his wife's murder. His quality of life has been severely hampered after this event, and he can now only live a comprehendable life by tattooing notes on himself and taking pictures of things with a Polaroid camera. The movie is told in forward flashes of events that are to come that compensate for his unreliable memory, during which he has liaisons with various complex characters. Leonard badly wants revenge for his wife's murder, but, as numerous characters explain, there may be little point if he won't remember it in order to provide closure for him. The movie veers between these future occurrences and a telephone conversation Leonard is having in his motel room in which he compares his current state to that of a client whose claim he once dealt with.

Like a fat girl crowd surfing, 1984's This Is Spinal Tap hit the heavy metal scene with a loud, thunderous ka-boom. It was decadent, depraved, and unseemly, but it really wasnt that far from reality. L.A.s Sunset Strip was gaining a notorious reputation for outlandish backstage behavior, and Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer were ready to lampoon the entire genre for cinematic hilarity
The lead singer looks like a complete poon clown in his floppy hat, and hes visibly scared of Mena Suvaris boyfriend who has blonde tips. Sweet Jesus. Quivering in the presence of a hair-dyed Flock Of Seagulls wannabee may be worse than hiding under the bushes from a quadriplegic (unless its the one from Monkey Shines who quarterbacks a team of homicidal primates). Yes, even if the aforementioned douche bag has on a lettermans jacket and ran over your bike earlier in the day
En la tapa del libro de todo plomero, electricista o albañil dice "El que estuvo antes no sabía nada". Te gana credibilidad con los clientes nuevos que quieren culpar a alguien más porque las cosas no funcionan, además de consagrarte como una persona "que sabe de lo que habla".Por eso odio tener pérdida de memoria a corto plazo. Bueno, en realidad lo odio por otras cosas también, por ejemplo tuve que tatuarme el número de celular en la nalga derecha, porque ya casi no tengo espacio, pero esto es lo que me molesta ahora, no tengo idea si yo hice la plomería de esta casa, así que no puedo arriesgarme a decir que el anterior era un imbécil sin idea de la vida. Tendré que manejarme. Bueno, voy a hablar, ¡qué buenas que están las chiquilinas que viven en este apartamento! si pudiera tomaría una foto mental para la posteridad, ¡quién sabe hace cuanto no tengo una alegría!- Bueno, ya estaría pronto, dejen correr el agua un rato y ya pueden bañarse tranquilas- Que bueno!- S
Sure, Metcalf is hilarious as the grumpy, cantankerous patriarch, but this clips true brilliance stems from the protagonists and their steadfast defiance of the laws of science. No One in this entire video adheres to any scientific laws! Its great. The sons guitar playing is so powerful that it actually shoots his father out a window. Dee Snider is able to turn children into badass, adult trannies by nodding at them

Director Christopher Nolan is known right now for reinvigorating the Batman franchise (with the next installment coming in December), but he broke away from the pack with the neo-noir thriller, Memento (2000). Starring the always wonderful Guy Pearce, this film dove head first into the broken mind of its protagonist with an ingenious script, twisty plotting, and well-drawn characters. It's one of my favorite films, and has remarkable replay value.Leonard Shelby (Pearce) is a man of unsound mind. After interrupting a robbery attempt, he is beaten and his wife killed. Since the attack, he can no longer form short term memories. He tracks his wife's killer via a set of clues that include annotated Polaroid pictures, and tattoos of information covering his body.One of these tattoos on his left hand reads "remember Sammy Jankis". This scene delves into Sammy's (Steven Tobolowsky) history of memory loss, and how former insurance investigator Leonard inadvertently forced Sammy's wife into

The glitz and glamour of hair metal had just about overdosed, and the Girls, Girls, Girls mantra was steadily being replaced by a more desolate, angry sound known as Grunge. By 1993, Pearl Jam and Nirvana were looking down atop the multi-platinum apex, peddling pain and suffering at fifteen dollars a pop, and it was amidst this bleak atmosphere of hopeless screaming that an up-tempo video by Blind Melon debuted on MTV

It's a safer place than sheer romantic love and we abuse it endlessly since we know the other person isn't going anywhere.Adam's Valentine's Day card to me this year was a ridiculous reminder of our fermented adoration of each other. Gone are the days when I need a box of chocolate to remind me that my husband digs me. Yesterday I received this card:Inside w
