Angelina Jolie is 'Wanted' Brand New Trailer


    

Desc: Genre: Fantasy-Thriller Cast: James McAvoy, Morgan Freeman, Terence Stamp, Thomas Kretschmann, Common and Angelina Jolie Directed by: Timur Bekmambetov Screenplay by: Michael Brandt & Derek Haas and Chris Morgan Story by: Michael Brandt & Derek Haas Based on the Series of Comic Book by: Mark Millar and J.G. Jones Produced by: Marc E. Platt, Jim Lemley, Jason Netter, Iain Smith Executive Producers: Marc Silvestri, Adam Siegel, Roger Birnbaum, Gary Barber Based upon Mark Millar's explosive graphic novel series and helmed by stunning visualist director Timur Bekmambetov—creator of the most successful Russian film franchise in history, the Night Watch series—Wanted tells the tale of one apathetic nobody's transformation into an unparalleled enforcer of justice. In 2008, the world will be introduced to a hero for a new generation: Wesley Gibson. 25-year-old Wes (James McAvoy) was the most disaffected, cube-dwelling drone the planet had ever known. His boss chewed him out hourly, his girlfriend ignored him routinely and his life plodded on interminably. Everyone was certain this disengaged slacker would amount to nothing. There was little else for Wes to do but wile away the days and die in his slow, clock-punching rut. Until he met a woman named Fox (Angelina Jolie). After his estranged father is murdered, the deadly sexy Fox recruits Wes into the Fraternity, a secret society that trains Wes to avenge his dad's death by unlocking his dormant powers. As she teaches him how to develop lightning-quick reflexes and phenomenal agility, Wes discovers this team lives by an ancient, unbreakable code: carry out the death orders given by fate itself. With wickedly brilliant tutors—including the Fraternity's enigmatic leader, Sloan (Morgan Freeman)—Wes grows to enjoy all the strength he ever wanted. But, slowly, he begins to realize there is more to his dangerous associates than meets the eye. And as he wavers between newfound heroism and vengeance, Wes will come to learn what no one could ever teach him: he alone controls his destiny. http://www.blacktree.tv

"MAN IN WHITE" by Johnny Cash: Prologue 002 of 002


    

Desc: Johnny Cash. The Apostle Paul. Two Legendary Me Two Thousand Years Apart Yet Remarkably Similar Both struggled with a "thorn in the flesh." And both had powerful visions from God. Paul's encounter with the Man in White knocked him to the ground and struck him blind. It also transformed him into one of the most influential men in history. Johnny Cash's vision was of another man entirely - his recently deceased father - a vision that helped spark his imagination to write this HISTORICAL novel about the amazing life of the intriguing figure with whom Cash identified so deeply, the Apostle Paul. See Paul as you've never seen him before - through the creative imagination of one of the greatest singer-songwriters America has ever known. Subsequently see Johnny Case, the man in Black, as you've never seen him before - as a passionist novelist consumed with the MAN IN WHITE. Note: This book is out-of-print but you can still pick up copies on EBAY and AMAZON. While I don't have a voice like Johnny Cash, I'm going to do my best with this. I don't have a professional microphone or anything so what you get is what you get and I hope some of you will be blessed by it. :-) I believe both John and June are in Heaven and I can't wait to meet them someday. Johnny Cash was annointed by God just as Keith Green was and I'm sticking to that! This is my 2nd all time favorite book, aside from the Holy Bible.

Translation courtesy of velocity7's ongoing project (Unofficial version 0.94 used in this video). May 7 (Wednesday), part II Sorry, looks like my sound recording didn't go very well this time. Sound quality will be low. [Spoiler: Part with Kyou and Sunohara/courtyard] Previous part: May 7 (I): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2kjBNKqjCs Next part: May 13: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rP4CJwKg07o I will ]] NOT [[ (Read that AGAIN) give any links or informations to get either the CLANNAD Visual Novel, the voice patch or the english translation, nor will I answer PMs about this subject. This is for legal purposes, kiddos, as the VN and the voice patch contain copyrighted material (not the videos, that's a game recording, nor the english patch, but since it's unofficial and not supported I won't give it anyway, since I'll get people biatching about the translation quality if I do). Help yourself. Heck, even Google itself should help you.
