Warm Water Under a Red Bridge (DVD)
Posted By : at 2008-07-07 11:33:09
Shohei Imamura's WARM WATER UNDER A RED BRIDGE stars the spirited Koji Yakusho as a Tokyo businessman whose company has recently gone bankrupt, leaving him unemployed. Estranged from his wife and with time on his hands, Yosuke (Koji) remembers a story told to him by a recently deceased friend, Taro (Kazuo Kitamura), about a hidden treasure. Not necessarily convinced that he'll find anything, Yosuke is nonetheless curious about the legend. He takes a train to a suburban fishing village and follows Taro's directions to the treasure--which, surprisingly, seem to be accurate. The only complication is a young woman, the mystifying, beautiful, and deeply bizarre Saeko (Miza Shimuzu), who lives in the house where Taro's clues lead. Imbued with magic, mystery, hope, and an overflowing sense of relief, WARM WATER UNDER A RED BRIDGE is Imamura's comic chef d'oeuvre. The plot is thoroughly funny in a soft, trying, intelligent way and the characters are well developed and wonderfully tangible. Drifting photography of the ocean, the streams running through the small village into to a local canal, and less obvious sources of vital essence illustrate the film's message: good water can be a purifying and reinvigorating conductor of life's currents. DVD Features: Region 1 Keep Case Anamorphic Widescreen - 1.85 Single Side - Dual Layer Additional Release Material: Trailers - 1. Original U.S. Trailer Text/Galleries: Filmography - 1.

The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming (And Environmentalism)
at 2008-07-17 16:40:28
In this conservative`s expos? of the global warming debate, Christopher Horner pulls no punches when he says that the sky is not falling but that the left is trying to pull the wool over our eyes. In Horner`s view, the whole issue of global warming is based on bad science and has been politicized. He offers evidence to refute what he says are the outrageous and hysterical claims of the environmentalist lobby, and exposes what he sees as the coercive and internationalist efforts by the likes of Al Gore and others (including John McCain and Joe Lieberman), which would, if they were to succeed, undermine our national sovereignty. THE POLITICALLY INCORRECT GUIDE TO GLOBAL WARMING AND ENVIRONMENTALISM is another entry in the popular POLITICALLY INCORRECT series from the conservative publisher Regnery.

A companion book to the Live Earth concerts of summer 2007 -- printed, of course, on environmentally responsible paper. The Live Earth Global Warming Survival Handbook: 77 Essential Skills to Stop Climate Change - or Live Through It, is a 160-page paperback release written by David De Rothschild, founder of Sculpt the Future, a non-profit environmental foundation, and includes a foreword by actor-director Rob Reiner. Proceeds from the US$14.95 book will be given to the Alliance for Climate Protection, founded by former U.S. vice-president Al Gore, a co-chair of the July 7 2007 Live Earth shows. This innovative and practical handbook supports the crucial mission and message of the Live Earth concerts and aims to inspire each of us to play a role, to do our share, in confronting and attempting to solve the climate crisis, says Steven Pleshette Murphy, president and CEO of publisher Rodale Books.
