ON DEMAND PICK OF THE WEEK
"The Prestige"
CLICK IMAGE TO VIEW TRAILER!!
Director: Christopher Nolan
Starring: Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale, Michael Caine, David Bowie, Scarlett Johansson
MPAA Ratings PG-13 for violence and disturbing images.
Time: 128 min.
Details: It all begins in rapidly changing, turn-of-the-century London. At a time when magicians are idols and celebrities of the highest order, two young magicians set out to carve their own paths to fame. The flashy, sophisticated Robert Angier is a consummate entertainer, while the rough-edged purist Alfred Borden is a creative genius who lacks the panache to showcase his magical ideas. They start out as admiring friends and partners. But when their biggest trick goes terribly awry, they become enemies for life--each intent on outdoing and upending the other. Trick by trick, show by show, their ferocious competition builds until it knows no bounds, even utilizing the fantastical new powers of electricity and the scientific brilliance of radical inventor Nikola Tesla--while the lives of everyone around them hang in the balance.
Then in no particular order....Widespread Panic. Grateful Dead. Dave Matthews Band. U2. Allman Brothers......yada yada yada.....

Please. check out the new song on my player Really Not Fair. Thought of this one in the tub. calling my friend on my handy and her not being at home..well you can hear what happened
Well, they were right about the gig...over 60,000 people attended the birthday of the VW Transporter in Hannover at the Messe. Our band "The Bulli Allstars" played the afternoon to get the people started. MTV Europe, Patrice, were there and Barbara Shoenenberger hosted (what a fox). They set up 2 gigantic stages 90 degrees from each other and sandwiched the crowd in the middle. Easier to rotate the bands. We started and Sasha then Sweetie Glitter and then THE WHO..To close out the night we finished with another hour of songs.. The party was really the backstage area.. I made a total ass of myself..sang "Pinball wizard" and gave a "Smile Baby" CD to Roger D. (Hey he laughed) Pete Townsend stayed in his dressing area. Rabbit (Hammond) was really a nice and talkative guy. (we had a Hammond player too, Wolfman). I stayed up all day and night(did not want to miss a thing) I only had to sing about 4 songs.
We should be getting better pictures and articles soon so I will post on the site.
I like the rock music and discotecque too. I am very much in love with American men of Greek or Turkish descent. I am name Renata Hrdlickova and from Czech Republic. Thank you for your interest.
