Birdman

The Revenant - Der Rückkehrer

Inspiriert von einer wahren Geschichte ist THE REVENANT – DER RÜCKKEHRER ein Filmerlebnis, das tief unter die Haut und mitten in die Eingeweide der Zuschauer zielt. Oscar®-Preisträger Alejandro González Iñárritu (Birdman, Babel), der auch mit für das Drehbuch verantwortlich zeichnet, inszeniert das monumentale Survival-Abenteuer eines einzelnen Mannes und eine Geschichte von der außergewöhnlichen Kraft des menschlichen Geistes. Bei einer Expedition tief in der amerikanischen Wildnis wird der legendäre Jäger und Abenteurer Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio) von einem Bären attackiert und von seinen Jagdbegleitern, die überzeugt sind, dass er dem Tod geweiht ist, zurückgelassen. In seinem Überlebenskampf erleidet Glass nicht nur unerträgliche Qualen, er muss auch erleben, dass sein vermeintlicher Beschützer John Fitzgerald (Tom Hardy) ihn verrät, beraubt und im Stich lässt. Angetrieben von der Liebe zu seiner Familie und einem schier übermenschlichen Willen zu überleben, um diesen Verrat zu rächen, kämpft Glass sich durch einen unerbittlichen Winter und eine feindliche Wildnis zurück ins Leben.

Alcatraz Screw: My Years as a Guard in America's Most Notorious Prison , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 562min

Alcatraz Screw is a firsthand account from a prison guard’s perspective of some of the most storied years at the infamous U.S. Penitentiary at Alcatraz. George Gregory began his career as a guard for the Federal Bureau of Prisons in 1940. He takes the listener along on a correctional officer’s tour of duty, showing what it was like to pull a lonely, tedious night of sentry duty in the Road Tower, or witness illicit transactions in the clothing room, or forcibly quell a riot in the cell blocks. Gregory provides an insider’s account of the tenures of all four of Alcatraz’s wardens and their sometimes contradictory approaches to administering the institution. He knew and regularly interacted with such legendary inmates as Robert Stroud (the Birdman of Alcatraz) and George “Machine Gun” Kelly.Without glamorizing or demonizing either the staff or the convicts, Alcatraz Screw provides a candid portrayal of corruption, drug abuse, and sexual practices, as well as efforts at reform and unrecorded acts of kindness. Various incidents in the memoir convey the fear, hatred, frustration, boredom, and unavoidable tension of being incarcerated.The book is published by University of Missouri Press. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks."George Gregory arrived at Alcatraz during a critical juncture in the institution's history...In short, he saw it all - and he remembered it all."

Hard Time: The Life of an Incorrigible on Alcatraz , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 521min

The true story of Charlie Hopkins #1186, one of the last surviving inmates of Alcatraz Penitentiary"My friend and fellow alumni Charlie Hopkins and I both graduated from America’s Top Crime School.... Charlie was a better student than I.... He’s still free!" (James “Whitey” Bulger, #1428 AZ)What if one could travel back in time and interview one of the hardened criminals that had served time at Alcatraz Penitentiary before it was permanently closed in 1963? What exactly would one ask a man who had rubbed shoulders with some of the most notorious gangsters, murderers, and thieves of the 1930s, '40s, and '50s? How would the conversation go when speaking to a close friend of "Creepy" Al Karpis, the "Birdman of Alcatraz" Robert Stroud, and Whitey Bulger? Now, thanks to author Don DeNevi, for the first time one does not need a time machine to recapture the first-hand eyewitness accounts of one man's life on Alcatraz.Alcatraz inmate #1186 was Charles Edward Hopkins, and Mr. Hopkins was no ordinary inmate. Not only did he serve time with the Anglin brothers who made the only successful escape from Alcatraz, but he was well-acquainted with notorious crime boss "Bumpy" Johnson, the legendary Italian mafia boss Vito Genevese, and many other infamous Alcatraz inmates.Early in his prison career, Charlie was clinically pronounced "psychotic" and "incorrigible" and was sent to Alcatraz. After serving his time, Hopkins disappeared into history before re-emerging in recent years as the pen pal of notorious Boston gangster James "Whitey" Bulger.Never before has Charlie's full story been captured and shared with the public. Now at 87 years old, Mr. Hopkins is estimated to be one of the last five or six remaining inmates that served hard time in Alcatraz before its closing in 1963. No matter what you have heard or think you know about Alcatraz, you may be certain of one thing, you have never heard a story like this./p ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Christopher Lane.

I Never Would Have Slept with You If I Had Known You Were a Giant Birdman from Outer Space: Ancient Aliens and Other Mysteries of the Modern Mind , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 502min

This is the second edition, published in 2017, featuring an additional half-dozen chapters, thus completing the entire set of Keel articles in this series. It matches the new Kindle version that has also just been published (2017). Following years of surveillance and harassment from both human and supernatural spooks, intrepid Fortean investigator John A. Keel sat down to compile his thoughts on all he had learned during his 1960s research into UFOs, synchronicity, creature entities, and other unexplained phenomena. The result was a series of concise, thematically related "ancient astronaut" articles, which were published in Saga magazine between 1973 and 1976. In these papers, Keel pulls together many of the threads discussed in his classic books The Mothman Prophecies and The Eighth Tower, which were written at the same time. By looking at ancient lore and applying it to modern UFO cases, Keel reveals that while the "ancient alien" phenomenon is indeed very ancient, it is certainly not alien. Using a wide array of evidence, coming from several different angles, Keel deftly explains why the winged, birdlike "ancient aliens" are bent on controlling the human race and how they do it. Surprisingly, Keel's research into Mothman could play a key role in deciphering the mystery of ancient aliens - whether or not the human race was actually created, genetically, by giant birdmen mating with earth women, and whether or not there was once a worldwide religion that worshiped Mothman-like gods. ungekürzt.
