Death Wish Collection

~~~~~~~ Death Wish (1974)

In this explosive story of revenge and urban violence, Charles Bronson plays Paul Kersey, a bleeding-heart liberal who has a change of opinion after his wife and daughter are violently attacked by a gang of thugs in their apartment. His daughter is raped, his wife raped and murdered. Bronson then turns vigilante as he stalks the mean streets of New York on the prowl for muggers, hoodlums and the like. A violent, controversial film which is frank and original in its treatment of urban crime and the average citizen's helplessness in dealing with it.

~~~~~~~ Death Wish II (1982)

Charles Bronson returns with a vengeance in this sequel to the popular crime thriller DEATH WISH. Bronson reprises his role as vigilante Paul Kersey, whose family is once again victimized after moving to Los Angeles from New York. Kersey is mugged by a gang of street punks who later break into his home and brutally assault his maid and daughter, resulting in their deaths.

~~~~~~~ Death Wish 3 (1985)

Paul Kersey has moved from LA to New York City to escape the crime and begin anew. But after an dear friend is murdered, the architect-turned-vigilante begins to deliver his own inimitable kind of street justice. The rugged Mr. Bronson is back again as Paul Kersey, the Korean War vet who loves to lure street thugs to surprise endings.

~~~~~~~ Death Wish 4: The Crackdown (1987)

When his girlfriend's daughter overdoses on toxic "crack," vigilante Paul Kersey explodes into action in an all-out war to exterminate the cocaine network in L.A.

~~~~~~~ Death Wish V: The Face of Death (1994)

Aging ex-vigilante Paul Kersey has made a quiet life for himself: he's now a teacher, and engaged to a lovely woman, Olivia. But when Olivia's clothing business is menaced by mobsters -- led by her sadistic ex-husband -- Paul reverts to his old gun-totin', thug-wastin' tendencies, as he attempts to deliver his own brand of justice in a variety of grisly ways.

Panic Room (2002)

Op TV: za 8 sept - 22:00 - 00:05 op RTL 4

  An effective exercise in "confined cinema," Panic Room is a finely crafted thriller that ultimately transcends the thinness of its premise. David Koepp's screenplay is basically Wait Until Dark on steroids, so director David Fincher (Seven, The Game) compensates with elaborate CGI-assisted camera moves, jazzing up his visuals while a relocated New York divorcée (Jodie Foster) and her daughter (Kristen Stewart) fight for their lives against a trio of tenacious burglars (Jared Leto, Forest Whitaker, Dwight Yoakam) in their new Manhattan townhouse. They're safe in a customized, impenetrable "panic room," but the burglars want what's in the room's safe, so mother and daughter (and Koepp and Fincher) must find clever ways to turn the tables and persevere. Suspense and intelligence are admirably maintained, with Foster (who replaced the then-injured Nicole Kidman) riffing on her Silence of the Lambs resourcefulness. It's not as viscerally satisfying as Fincher's previous thrillers, but Panic Room definitely holds your attention.

Dertiger Meg (Foster) laat haar overspelige man achter en verhuist met haar jonge dochter Sarah (Stewart) naar een kapitaal huis aan de andere kant van Central Park. In het huis bevindt zich een met cameracircuit uitgeruste paniekkamer, waarin je kunt vluchten als er wordt ingebroken. De eerste nacht is het gelijk raak met maar liefst drie inbrekers. Het eerste dat opvalt in Panic Room is de cinematografie die de kale kamers van het echoënde huis opvoert als een derde ensemble acteurs, naast de inbrekers en de vrouwen. Ongehinderd door spijlen, muren of plafonds belicht de camera een uiterst onderhoudend verhaal.

Taxi Driver (1976) - Documentary

"You talkin' to me?" Martin Scorsese's searing portrait of loneliness and violence on the mean streets of New York remains one of the quintessential films of 1970s American cinema, a brooding blast of modern gothic cinema that boils over in madness and self-destruction. Robert De Niro's Travis Bickle, the insomniac taxi driver of the title who slips into violence in his nocturnal prowlings, is like a pressure cooker of alienated desperation and rage who channels his frustrations into plotting the assassination of a political figure and then saving a teenage hooker (Jodie Foster) from her pimp (Harvey Keitel). Screenwriter Paul Schrader reportedly poured out the screenplay while suffering from his own identity crisis. Cybill Shepherd, Albert Brooks and Peter Boyle co-star. The new two-disc edition features two new commentary tracks (one from film professor and writer Robert Kolker, the other from Schrader) and a collection of new featurettes, including the 15-minute "Martin Scorsese on Taxi Driver" (talking about his influences and his reflections on the work decades later) and the 21-minute "God's Lonely Man" (reflections by Schrader and Kolker), along with shorter companion featurettes. Also features the excellent and comprehensive 70-minute documentary "Making Taxi Driver" (produced in 1999), storyboard-to-film comparisons (with an introduction by Scorsese), and an interactive screenplay among the supplements. by Sean Axmaker

More Pema Chödrön

Audio Books : Self-help : MP3/128Kbps : English

In a refreshing recorded seminar, the revered Buddhist nun explains the core teachings of an ancient text--Shantiveda's THE WAY OF THE BODHISATTVA. Chodron answers heartfelt questions, largely from people trying to reconcile their individual conflicts with addressing the needs of others. Rather than sounding otherworldly, her peaceful tone and relaxed grasp of Buddhist teachings are inviting and familiar. Laughing frequently and feeling at home in front of a large audience, she speaks a language that listeners everywhere will appreciate. Almost thrilling in their simplicity and generosity, the segments of Shantiveda's text that she and others read to the audience teach the disciplines of calming one's mind and making sacrifices to serve others.

Book Description
What if you could cultivate the mind of a bodhisattva—one who has dedicated one’s life to the benefit of others? According to Pema Chödrön—best-selling author and American-born Buddhist nun—you can. On Bodhisattva Mind, she examines sheshin, or "guarding alertness," and the other qualities of mind we need to develop on the path to enlightenment. "We all have a consciousness that knows what helps and what causes harm," teaches Ani Pema. "With this same ability, we can ‘tame our minds,’ and extricate ourselves from suffering." A practicum of insights and meditations from this cherished teacher, Bodhisattva Mind shows us how to connect with the spacious, clear, unbiased nature of our minds, and experience the joy of complete freedom.
