Kara Walker is among the most complex and prolific American artists of her generation. Over the past decade, she has gained international recognition for her room-sized tableaux, which depict historical narratives haunted by sexuality, violence and subjugation and are made using the paradoxically genteel eighteenth-century art of cut-paper silhouettes. Set in the antebellum American South, Walker's compositions play off of stereotypes to portray, often grotesquely, life on the plantation, where masters, mistresses and slave men, women and children enact a subverted version of the past in an attempt to reconfigure their status and representation. Over the years, the artist has used drawing, painting, co! lored-light projections, writing, shadow puppetry, and, most recently, film animation to narrate her tales of romance, sadism, oppression and liberation. Her scenarios thwart conventional readings of a cohesive national history and expose the collective, and ongoing, psychological injury caused by the tragic legacy of slavery. Deploying an acidic sense of humor, Walker examines the dialectics of pleasure and danger, guilt and fulfillment, desire and fear, race and class. This landmark publication, which is sure to win international design awards, accompanies Walker's first major American museum survey. It features critical essays by Philippe Vergne, Sander L. Gilman, Thomas McEvilley, Robert Storr and Kevin Young, as well as an illustrated lexicon of recurring themes and motifs in the artist's most influential installations by Yasmil Raymond, more than 200 full-color images, an extensive exhibition history and bibliography, and a 36-page insert by the artist.This is the sto! ry of how young Zeus, with a little help from six monsters, fi! ve Greek gods, an enchanted she-goat, and his mother, became god of gods, master of lightning and thunder, and ruler over all. in doing so, he learned a lot about family. Who knew that having relatives could be so complicated, even for a god?

Brian Karas says about his inspiration for this book, "I've been interested in working with myths, but I felt as though I needed a personal connection. I am of Italian and Greek descent so I started to think of my Greek heritage. But the world of Greek mythology was unknown to me and in a way felt inaccessible, until I learned more. The Greek believed their gods and goddesses to be, among other things, very human-like in their emotions and behavior. They had complicated family relations. They were flawed on many levels - they could be petty, impulsive and unreasonable. I started to recognize them. Then I travelled to Greece, I knew this place! This personal connection gave me what I felt I needed to work with a Greek myth. But which?

! "I am also interested in the beginnings of things. When I started researching I kept looking for the ultimate source, the very first account, and largely drew from Hesiod's Thegony. Being interested in origins, I was also drawn to the Greek's version of the very beginning of things and it was here that I settled on the story of Zeus. There is much written about his reign as ruler of heaven and earth but very little about his youth and rise to power. The story of how his mother hid him on the island of Crete is a familiar one but there was a big gap in everything I read of what happened in between his life as an infant and his glory days. Young Zeus is my account of how things might have gone for young Zeus and what led him to become the omnipotent almighty god that he was believed to be."

It's Christmas Eve, when even the most voracious corporate climbers generally head home by dinner time. But not ANGELA (Rachael Nichols). She's the last one left at the office, determined to close one more deal before the holiday. The long hours she keeps will have an impact, but not the kind she's been hoping for.Stalker in a parking garage. You've got to give the makers of P2 credit: They've tapped a universal source of anxiety and stretched it out into a feature-length film. Underneath a Manhattan skyscraper, chic businesswoman Angela (Rachel Nichols) is knocking off for the Christmas holiday. Everybody else has cleared out of the garage--everybody but freaky-frien! dly attendant Tom (Wes Bentley), and his little dog too. Before long, Tom makes it clear that he'd like to have Angela for holiday dinner, whatever that might mean. Our heroine must summon all her resources, and the challenge of a low-cut dinner gown, to fight back. P2 (no, it's not the sequel to P) at least allows Angela a measure of common sense, as she actually thinks of some logical ways to fight back, and director Franck Khalfoun (working from an idea by Haute Tension guys Alexandre Aja and Gregory Levasseur) does indeed get the most out of the parking garage location. But the movie's at a loss to make these two characters interesting in any way, even at the Coyote vs. Roadrunner level. Tom's little quirks, like miming a dance to Elvis Presley's "Blue Christmas," feel like a desperate attempt to add flavor to an otherwise standard-issue creepo. Bentley (best known for American Beauty) does have the face of an obsessive, and Nichols has the f! ace (and did we mention the cleavage?) of a movie star, so the! y're not hard to believe. But most of the time this movie is stuck on the wrong floor. --Robert HortonAfter a botched home robbery in a wealthy community leaves a small child dead, a single clue leads police detective Noah Cordin (Nick Stahl of Terminator 3 and Sin City) and his new partner (Rachel Nichols of Star Trek) to Cordin's nearby working-class hometown. But in a struggling community full of desperate suspects, including a local laborer (Kellan Lutz of The Twilight Saga), the fuse is lit on a conflict that goes far deeper than homicide. Jonathan Tucker (Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Ruins), Grace Gummer (Gigantic) and Norman Reedus (The Boondock Saints) co-star in this provocative indie drama from writer/director Josh Sternfeld (Winter Solstice) about a shocking crime, an extreme investigation, and the tensions--and passions--that will explode in a county called MESKADA.the latest stories for men interested in pop culture, celebrities, entertainment, relationships, sty! le and fashion advice.

Megan Fox - Personality Poster (Superfox - Supergirl Outfit) (Size: 24" x 36")

  • High Quality Poster Print
  • Size 24 inch x 36 inch
Sexy temptress Megan Fox is hotter than hell as Jennifer, a gorgeous, seductive cheerleader who takes evil to a whole new level after she’s possessed by a sinister demon. Steamy action and gore galore ensue as the male student body succumbs to Jennifer's insatiable appetite for human flesh. Now it’s up to her best friend (Amanda Seyfried) to stop Jennifer's reign of terror before it's too late!
  • Audio: English: 5.1 Dolby Digital / Spanish & French: Dolby Surround
  • Language: Dubbed: English, French & Spanish / Subtitled: English & Spanish
  • Theatrical Aspect Ratio: Widescreen: 1.85:1
There's always a good girl and a bad girl in a movie like Jennifer's Body--but in this case the good girl is crazy and the bad girl is way, way evil. At least somebody thinks good girl Needy (Amanda Seyf! ried, from Mamma Mia!) is crazy: when the movie begins she's narrating from a psychiatric hospital, and the rest of the film is a flashback that explains her incarceration. It's all connected to longtime friend Jennifer (Megan Fox), a saucy high-school temptress, who mysteriously survives a horrific night out and transforms into a supernaturally powerful force with a taste for human blood. There's certainly some genre kick to this stuff, almost none of which is played straight--how could it be, with Oscar-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody penning the script? Yes, all those crackly, slang-peppered one-liners you loved (or hated) in Cody's Juno are back, with a vengeance. There's actually something more honest about the nastiness of the dialogue in Jennifer's Body, which at least doesn't try to corkscrew back into the heartwarming ambitions of Juno. Among the targets of Cody's satire are Needy's nice-guy beau (Johnny Simmons), a one-armed to! upeed teacher (J.K. Simmons), and a satanic rock singer (Adam ! Brody). The raging hormones and bodily changes of teendom have always lent themselves to metaphorical usefulness in horror movies, but Cody doesn't ring many new changes on the device, beyond the brutal hilarity of her dialogue. That leaves us with showroom-ready Megan Fox, whose buffed sheen is just right for her soulless character. --Robert Horton

The Author's Cut: 100 PAGES of PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED MATERIAL. Cover by Peter Beard featuring supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio on a double-exposed Giant Polaroid, 2009 "Tom Wolfe rewrites American Gigolo." -- Kirkus Reviews "The novel is crass, entertaining, slangy, and reeking of sun bronze and the fresh turnover of fleshy delights makes the narrator's decision to become an aging roué instead of a responsible adult seem like an honest, admirable choice. Felske writes like a gigolo and treats seduction as a dirty sport." -- James Wolcott, Vanity Fair "Model Citizen: the story of a ma! n who never met a beautiful woman he didn't like." -- David Kelley, The New York Times Book Review "Favorite Novel: The Shallow Man by Coerte Felske which begins with the line 'I never met a model I didn't like.'" -- Candace Bushnell, Vogue "Coerte V.W. Felske’s novel The Shallow Man turned the fashion world on its headâ€"and introduced the term 'modelizer' into the collective consciousness." -- Detour "A Model Wordsmith." -- New York Magazine "In his first novel, The Shallow Man, Coerte V.W. Felske spins a clever tale of the narcissistic world of fashion modeling. In this comic send-up, Nick Laws is the shallow man whose every thought and word reflect his sole interest in life: boffing models. From the late-night clubs of Manhattan to the art deco bars of Miami, Nick searches for beautiful women to take to bed. He’s so perfect, he’s hilarious. Is there a man with a soul so noble that he has not entertained this fantasy? In real life, no one could st! and around all day in his motorcycle jacket and sunglasses, pu! rring pl atitudes to curvaceous dimwits. But Nick’s relentless, self-conscious pursuit is very funny. Nick reminds us, “Never judge a book by its contents.” Certainly not this book. The Shallow Man is fun, flash, and filigree--a sexy, witty spoof of the Nineties.” â€"- Digby Diehl, Playboy “Shallow waters run deep. This stunning but unreflective man knows more than you think. Behind those big blank eyes and that deep tan is…well, something that women find hopelessly tempting: a healthy disdain for thinking too much. Since he can’t be bothered connecting the dots, he maps out the politics of the jejune with an easy straight line. Reading the quick-witted prose, one begins to think less about things and more about Thing, the Shallow Man’s tag for the women he dates: gorgeous, seemingly unattainable models. Nick Laws is like Hamlet without the mental baggage, tumbling Ophelia by Act II. Felske’s The Shallow Man makes a case for the unexamined life.” â€"- Esquire! “I may not have been the king of Generation Face,” proclaims hipster Nick Laws, in author Felske’s first novel, “but I was definitely one of its princes.” Nick can’t get enough of “Thing” his catchphrase for models and other impossibly stunning women; his every waking moment is devoted to bedding themâ€"as long as they’re not Civilians (regular-looking women). Spiked with original Nickspeak and hilarious dialogue, Felske’s depiction of the physically elite is so clever in its anthropological detail that we can forgive his protagonist for just about anything. Besides, The Shallow Man harbors a few glimmers of Nick’s humanity. You just have to dig to find them.” -- People “PLAYBOY CENTERFOLD DATA SHEET, 'Favorite Book: “The Shallow Man” by Coerte Felske. It’s about a very shallow man and his involvements with models.'” -â€"Priscilla Lee Taylor, Miss March, 1996, Playboy ----------------------- "Fear not the S! hallow Man, For all that is lost is one night." Such is t! he credo of Nick Laws, the suave party promoter who lives on the other side of the velvet ropes. Nick's world is an exclusive arena of fast-food romances, sex, and mind-boggling glamour. It's Nick Laws's obsession, and he is not in denial about it. "The Shallow Man" is his confession. Welcome to Generation Face...

For nearly a year, Consuelo has been obsessed with a man who visits her in her dreams â€" a blue prince who does not exist, according to her friends. Richard has been suffering from nightmares in which a young attractive woman seduces him and then tries to kill him. He swears he doesn’t know her. Slowly the dream-like world invades reality and both end up face to face, separated only by mirrored glass in a police station. What happens next will bl! ow your mind.LA MUJER DE MI HERMANO - DVD MovieBased on the novel by Jaime Bayly, La Mujer de Mi Hermano is as juicy and melodramatic as a television soap opera. Director Ricardo de Montreuil opens the film depicting the dull marriage between young, gorgeous Zoe (Barbara Mori) and wealthy entrepreneur, Ignacio (Christian Meier). Their modernist home and glamorous lifestyle appeals to the sensibility of their hip Mexico City friends, but their non-existent sex life forces Zoe to seek friendship in Ignacio's poor, artistic brother, Gonzalo (Manolo Cardona). As Gonzalo and Zoe grow closer, Ignacio, enraged by jealousy, tries in vain to cover up his latent homosexuality, which is the root of his marital problems. When Ignacio discovers that Zoe is pregnant as a result of her infidelity, they all call a truce: Ignacio agrees to father the child, Gonzalo agrees to stay away from Zoe, and Zoe agrees to allow Ignacio to sleep with men. Far from realistic, La Mujer de Mi ! Hermano's shallow characters' sexual escapades are the on! ly inter esting aspect of the film. The movie's sensationalistic glimpse into a wealthy Mexican family's business, at its best, harkens back to the inherent decadence of Dangerous Liasons or any other story about a love triangle between family members. With clean, crisp cinematography, this modern rendition of a strict taboo provides temporary entertainment but lacks sustenance.-- Trinie Dalton

Hot, sexy, exotic, and wild are the only words to describe this "lovers-on-the-lam blast of pure pulp escapism." (The New York Times) Indian superstar Hrithic Roshan stars as ! J, a Las Vegas hustler engaged to the daughter of the city's m! ost powe rful and dangerous casino owner. But all bets are off when he falls in love with the ravishing Natasha (Barbara Mori), an illegal immigrant engaged to J's jealous and violent future brother-in-law. When their illicit romance is discovered, J and Natasha flee for the border with the police and relentless hired killers on their trail. Pulse-pounding action and sensational musical numbers propel this passionate love story to its stunning conclusion. This special edition contains the "deliriously entertaining" (Variety) full-length version that became the first Bollywood movie to make the American box office Top Ten, and Kites: The Remix, the edgier and sexier English language version produced by director Brett Ratner (Rush Hour, X-Men: The Last Stand).A story that once would have been set in Paris or Vienna now occurs in Las Vegas, where ne'er-do-wells and courtesans have become mobsters and hustlers. Kites follows J, played by handsome Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan! , a lowlife with smooth dance moves who marries green-card-seeking immigrants for cash. He thinks he's hit the jackpot when the daughter of a wealthy mobster falls in love with him--but when he sees Linda (played by delectable Uruguayan actress Barbara Mori), the fiancée of the mobster's son, J falls in love and discovers that he'll risk anything for her… and risk he will! J and Linda end up on the run, robbing banks, fleeing by car, train, and hot-air balloon with the mob and police on their trail. Kites is a staggering compendium of over-the-top clichés and preposterous romanticism; only a Bollywood movie--even one in English, Spanish, and Hindi--could get away with this kind of straight-faced absurdity. From the '80s dance-off to the operatic tragic conclusion, Kites is both ridiculous and ridiculously entertaining, like Titanic, Badlands, and Moulin Rouge thrown in a blender, with a time-bending narrative that cunningly teases out ! a new twist every time you think you know everything. Roshan a! nd Mori are genetic marvels, blessed with astounding physiques and piercing hazel eyes. Silly, sexy, and compulsively watchable. --Bret FetzerRecent interests in learning from Japanese business practice and other aspects of social life are being viewed in a global context. The Urasenke school of "chado" (the Japanese tea ceremony) has been exporting its practice since the early 1950s. It provides an opportunity to study the ability of a Japanese art to teach its practice and social structure to non-Japanese. This work looks at Japanese culture and its adaptability to outsiders, as well as the process by which non-Japanese learn to behave as Japanese in the setting of the tea room through the learning of cultural symbols and ritual behaviour.Hot, sexy, exotic, and wild are the only words to describe this "lovers-on-the-lam blast of pure pulp escapism."
