One by one, prostitutes are being murdered in the city of Mount Lebanon, Pennsylvania. With every attack, the killer's vicious and sadistic nature becomes more obvious - as does his disdain for the local police force. As the pressure mounts to solve the murders, two unseasoned officers become entangled in the case and begin to uncover lies and evidence that lead back to their own department.
Once in a Blue Moon is the story of one man's never-ending affair with Manchester City. Be it playing, watching or managing, Steve 'Worthy' Worthington's life in football has never been easy. Having suffered an almost fatal road accident in the week before his ninth birthday, any aspirations for glocal stardom as a player were crushed beneath the wheels of a speeding Triumph Spitfire in 1971. As a spectator he fared no better. Over the years Manchester City and England addicts have experienced many disappointments - most of which he was there to see. As manager of his beloved Sunday League club Lee Athletic, success was a word used only on the odd occasion when he persuaded his team to turn up sober and in time for kick-off. But two things that have always kept him going were his love of the local 'Indie' music scene and an ability to find humour during the darkest of times. Join him n a vivid journey that takes you into the beating heart of 1960s and '70s working class Manchester: through give decades of football (and a bit of cricket), music and people, in the eyes and ears of an everyday bloke who turned constant failure into final triumph.

M. Wright 7/4 British actor Tom Holland has swung into the spotlight for his portrayal of a teenage Spider-Man. While many people know 23-year-old Holland only for this role, there’s so much more to the up-and-coming star. With a father who is a comedian and author, and a mother who is a photographer, Holland was bound to be drawn to the arts, which was first evidenced by his taking dance lessons as a child. Despite being bullied for dancing, he never gave up on his passion, later saying, “You couldn’t hit me hard enough to stop me from doing it.” His perseverance paid off because at just 10 years old, he was discovered by a choreographer for Billy Elliot the Musical. After intense training in dance and gymnastics, he took the lead in the show. Holland’s first film came in 2012 when he starred in The Impossible, a movie about a family caught in Thailand’s 2004 tsunami. His moving performance as a brave but terrified young boy won him praise and several awards, including the National Board of Review Award for Breakthrough Performance. Following this impressive start, Holland went on to act in a variety of films until he got his big break—being chosen to play Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. 英國演員湯姆．霍蘭德因飾演青少年的蜘蛛人而備受矚目。雖然許多人只因為這個角色才認識二十三歲的霍蘭德，但這位明日之星可不只如此而已。 由於父親是喜劇演員和作家，母親是攝影師，霍蘭德注定會受到藝術吸引，這最早從他童年上舞蹈課就獲得了印證。儘管因跳舞遭到霸凌，但他從未放棄熱愛的事，後來他說過：「你再怎麼打擊我也不能阻止我做這件事。」他的堅持努力得到回報，因為他年僅十歲就被《舞動人生音樂劇》的舞蹈指導發掘。經過密集的舞蹈和體操訓練後，他在該劇中擔任主角。 霍蘭德主演的首部電影是二○一二年的《浩劫奇蹟》，是關於一家人受困於二○○四年泰國海嘯的故事。他飾演一名勇敢卻受到驚嚇的年輕男孩，其動人的演技為他贏得讚賞及好幾座獎項，包括「美國國家評論協會的最佳突破演出獎」。在初試啼聲就令人印象深刻後，霍蘭德繼續在各種類型的電影中演出，直到他得到這個大好機會——獲選為漫威電影宇宙中的蜘蛛人一角。 7/5 Landing the role of Spider-Man was a dream come true for Holland, who was so obsessed with the superhero that he ran around in at least 30 different Spider-Man suits during his childhood. It wasn’t just his love of the character that won him the part, though. The young actor says he can relate to Peter Parker because neither of them was ever “the cool kid at school.” On top of that, the acrobatic skills he continues to develop allow him to execute some of his own stunts. Holland was widely applauded for his energetic performance in Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2017, even receiving a BAFTA Rising Star Award. His success launched him into stardom, but he’s made sure not to let it go to his head because he knows that “the terrible thing about being famous is you start to believe it.” This self-awareness, along with reminders from his dad, has helped him stay grounded. This month, Holland is back again in Spider-Man: Far From Home, in which the teenage superhero faces off against villains during a school trip to Europe. With several other movies lined up for the promising young actor, our Spidey sense tells us that this is just the start of a brilliant career. 獲得蜘蛛人一角對霍蘭德來說是美夢成真，他小時候十分著迷於這名超級英雄，玩耍時穿過至少三十套的蜘蛛人服裝。不過，他獲得這個角色不只是因為他對蜘蛛人的熱愛。這名年輕演員說他對彼得．帕克感同身受，因為他們從來都不是「學校裡的酷小孩」。此外，他持續培養的特技能力讓他能親自做其中一些特技動作。 霍蘭德在二○一七年《蜘蛛人：返校日》中充滿活力的演出廣受讚賞，甚至獲頒「英國影藝學院電影獎明日之星」。他的成功使他躋身明星之列，但他確保自己不因此自滿，因為他知道「成名可怕的地方在於你開始信以為真。」這份自覺，加上父親的提醒都幫助他腳踏實地。 這個月，霍蘭德在《蜘蛛人：離家日》又回來了，電影中這名十幾歲的超級英雄到歐洲校外教學的期間對上了反派人物。還有好幾部電影在等著這位前程似錦的年輕演員，我們「蜘蛛人般的」直覺告訴我們這只是一個精彩生涯的開始。
Thomas Edison invented his motion picture system in New Jersey in the 1890s, and within a few years most American filmmakers could be found within a mile or two of the Hudson River. They planted themselves here because they needed the artistic and entrepreneurial energy that D. W. Griffith realized New York had in abundance. But as the going rate for land and labor skyrocketed and their business grew more industrialized, most of them moved out. The way most historians explain it, the role of New York in the development of American film ends here. In Hollywood on the Hudson, Richard Koszarski rewrites an important part of the history of American cinema. During the 1920s and 1930s, film industry executives had centralized the mass production of feature pictures in a series of gigantic film factories scattered across Southern California, while maintaining New York as the economic and administrative center. But as Koszarski reveals, many writers, producers, and directors also continued to work here, especially if their independent vision was too big for the Hollywood production line. East Coast filmmakers-Oscar Micheaux, Rudolph Valentino, Ben Hecht, Charles MacArthur, Paul Robeson, Gloria Swanson, Max Fleischer, and others-quietly created a studio system without back-lots, long-term contracts or seasonal production slates. They substituted "newsreel photography" for Hollywood glamour, targeted niche audiences instead of middle-American families, ignored accepted dramatic conventions, and pushed the boundaries of motion picture censorship. Rebellious and unconventional, they saw the New York studios as laboratories, not factories-and used them to pioneer the development of new technologies (from talkies to television), new genres, new talent, and ultimately, an entirely new vision of commercial cinema.
Moon Shot by Alan Shepard,Deke Slayton,Jay Barbree Pdf
New York Times bestseller for fans of First Man: A “breathtaking” insider history of NASA’s space program—from astronauts Alan Shepard and Deke Slayton (Entertainment Weekly). On October 4, 1957, the Soviet Union launched Sputnik I, and the space race was born. Desperate to beat the Russians into space, NASA put together a crew of the nation’s most daring test pilots: the seven men who were to lead America to the moon. The first into space was Alan Shepard; the last was Deke Slayton, whose irregular heartbeat kept him grounded until 1975. They spent the 1960s at the forefront of NASA’s effort to conquer space, and Moon Shot is their inside account of what many call the twentieth century’s greatest feat—landing humans on another world. Collaborating with NBC’s veteran space reporter Jay Barbree, Shepard and Slayton narrate in gripping detail the story of America’s space exploration from the time of Shepard’s first flight until he and eleven others had walked on the moon.
It Was All a Dream by B. MAC It Was All a Dream captures the mind of people who love music, comedy and family gatherings. In the hood, there is always that one dude who is trying to be successful in the music industry, but has it hard finding his way. Most of the time, he is better than a lot of the artists in the business. However, he lacks resources and the right promotion. No matter what, his hunger won’t let him quit. He will stop at nothing to be successful; even if it means rap wars, constant battles, club fights and gun play. It Was All a Dream is a work of fiction that everyone from the ghetto can relate to. Most people in the rap industry will agree with the hardship of being successful, while others will act as if it simple. But the challenge the artist and producer go through in this book would make any real up-and-coming artist laugh and wonder, at the same time, if he or she really wants to be an artist.
