The real-life inspiration of the Iron Man Series, Musk wants to be the saviour of the planet, send people into space and set up a colony on Mars.īullied in school and scolded tremendously by his father, Musk was actually a brilliant student and his life story is nothing less than a drama packed film.

Title: Elon Musk: How the Billionaire CEO of Spacex and Tesla is Shaping Our Future Voldemort Returns? Ralph Fiennes Would Play 'Harry Potter' Villain Again: 'No Question About It' New 'Yellowstone' Monopoly Game Will Have You Buying, Selling and Trading Your Way Through Dutton Ranch The reality that “Fantastic Beasts” is experiencing diminishing returns after three movies is especially painful, not only to Rowling, who envisioned the prequel story as a five-film franchise, but also to its backer Warner Bros., which bet big on the assumption that all things Hogwarts would remain relevant at the box office - whether or not Harry, Ron and Hermione were involved in the adventures that unfold on screen. With just $405 million at the global box office, it’s the first film in the blockbuster franchise - out of 11 - to just barely break even in its theatrical run. “ Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore,” a $200 million-budgeted sequel in the “ Harry Potter” spinoff series, is an anomaly in J.K. The ferryman, Charon, reluctantly agrees to take the poets across the river to Limbo, the first circle of Hell, where Virgil permanently resides. The poets reach the banks of the river Acheron where souls await passage into Hell proper. The two poets enter the vestibule of Hell where the souls of the uncommitted are tormented by biting insects and damned to chase a blank banner around for eternity. Dante agrees to the journey and follows Virgil through the gates of Hell. Dante is forced to return to the forest where he meets the spirit of Virgil, who promises to lead him on a journey through Hell so that he may be able to enter Paradise. He sees a sun-drenched mountain in the distance, and he tries to climb it, but three beasts, a leopard, a lion, and a she-wolf, stand in his way. At the age of thirty-five, on the night of Good Friday in the year 1300, Dante finds himself lost in a dark wood and full of fear. My neighbor recently gave me a copy of your book that she picked up at a used book sale. Please keep up the good work and thanks so much for putting these books out so one can gain from them without going to a workshop. Your writing style is very simple but very poignant, so I just wanted to send you this very sincere thank you. Since then I have been reading your book, Clear Your Clutter with Feng Shui,and I just have to tell you how much sense it makes. I was living with many boxes in a 10 foot by 10 foot room and when I cleared out the boxes it was just amazing - it was like this downward pressure was lifted and my life just opened up. I have had to move a bit, each time to a smaller space and now I just rent a room so my stuff has really collected up. Over the past 4 years things have been a challenge, mainly financially. Thanks for your inspiration and hopefully I will clear my clutter by the end of this month. I like your idea of doing a bit at a time and going with your energy level. It's physically hard work but that is only because I spent ages. I cleared out eight and a half bags of newspapers over the week-end and I am still going strong!! Smile.

Almost four years ago, Journey to the Centre of the Earth was an often cheesy but mildly entertaining adventure that used 3D to throw and spit numerous things into the audience. It’s got a colour palette as bright as candy, an adventure taking place on a tropical island and 3D visuals that quite literally make everything pop off the screen. The very definition of a kid’s birthday party movie would have to be Journey 2: The Mysterious Island. Journey 2: The Mysterious Island Review By John C. Gabato (Luiz Guzmán), Kailani (Vanessa Hudgens), Sean (Josh Hutcherson), Hank (Dwayne Johnson) and Alexander (Michael Caine) in Journey 2: The Mysterious Island. Loosely based on the novel by Jules Verne Journey 2: The Mysterious Island – A Warner Bros. We meet her after she has left the estate of one Lord Manwaring after enchanting the host and driving the hostess, Lady Manwaring, to despair. She's attractive, she's indefatigable, and she's poetically eloquent in justifying her immorality. But as played by Kate Beckinsale, she cuts an impressive figure. The woman's will must be thwarted, of course, for the sake of her spirited daughter. She seems a pale copy of the villainess of another epistolary novel that was widely-read at the time, Les Liaisons Dangereuse.Įarly in Love & Friendship you realize that Stillman doesn't hate Lady Susan nearly as much as Austen seems to. Her protagonist, Lady Susan Vernon, is an impoverished widow with designs on a married lord and a malign indifference to her own teenage daughter. It's an epistolary work, told via letters, and, as such, missing Austen's all-important voice as narrator. The title isn't even hers - it didn't have one. Austen wrote the book early in her career, before Pride and Prejudice. That's not quite as heretical as it sounds. The writer-director Whit Stillman's Love & Friendship is an improvement on its source, Jane Austen's novella Lady Susan. Ross McDonnell/Courtesy of Amazon Studios and Roadside Attractions Lady Susan (right, played by Kate Beckinsale) consults with her American friend (Chloë Sevigny) in Whit Stillman's Love & Friendship.
