The Butler

Nel 2008, alla vigilia delle elezioni che avrebbero portato Barack Obama alla Casa Bianca, Wil Haygood pensò di celebrare quel momento grazie a un testimone privilegiato, qualcuno che avesse vissuto in prima persona gli ultimi cinquant'anni di storia americana. Si mise così sulle tracce di Eugene Allen, il maggiordomo che aveva lavorato alla Casa Bianca dal 1952 al 1986. Dopo decine e decine di telefonate e lunghe ricerche, finalmente il giornalista ottenne l'indirizzo di Allen. Era ancora vivo. Aveva quasi novant'anni e viveva con la moglie Helene in un modesto e decoroso quartiere di Washington…

The film tells the story of the Prussian family von Krauss living in the Puck area, as well as the love between the Kashubian boy Mateusz and the German aristocrat Marita and is set between 1900 and 1945. The script depicts the complicated fate of three nations inhabiting the former Polish-German borderland in northern Kashubia, where the line of the border in Versailles after the First World War divided not only the land but also the people of Germans, Kashubs, and Poles, causing riots and often hatred. The script goes through four decades showing the complex attitudes and choices that people have to make here. Prussian anti-Polishism fought with Kashubian patriotism, which in 1939 ended in mass murder committed in thousands of Kaszubians in forests near Piasnica.

Perched on an island off the shores of Cornwall, England, the soaring castle of St. Michael’s Mount has been home to the St. Aubyn family since 1647. For nearly thirty years, Stanley Ager, one of the most esteemed butlers of the twentieth century, ensured that St. Michael’s Mount was an impeccable place to live and a gracious and welcoming one for guests to visit.

Join accident prone Detective Frank Drebin (Leslie Nielsen) as he bumbles his way through every task put in front of him, oblivious to the blazing trail of incompetence he leaves in his wake. Charming and debonair–but utterly clueless–Drebin always manages to catch his man, albeit through a series of happy coincidences, rather than any discernable talent. A riotous spoof, POLICE SQUAD successfully lampoons the detective genre with its melange of literal jokes, non-sequiturs, and good old-fashioned slapstick. But it's Nielsen's finely-honed deadpan delivery that hits the funny bone time and again (he would later reprise his role in the hugely popular NAKED GUN films). Collected here is every episode from the first series.

The Psychedelic Furs are an English alernative rock band founded in 1977. Led by singer Richard Butler and his brother Tim on bass guitar, the Psychedelic Furs are one of the many acts spawned from the British post-punk scene. Their music went through several phases, from an initially austere art rock sound, later touching on new wave and hard rock. The Psychedelic Furs went on hiatus in 1991, and the Butler brothers formed a new band called Love Spit Love. The Psychedelic Furs later regrouped in 2001 and continue to perform around the world. This set features the albums Psychedelic Furs (1980), Talk Talk Talk (1981), Forever Now (1982), Mirror Moves (1984) and Midnight To Midnight (1987).
