She will find you, she will charm you and then she will most certainly harm you. It doesn't matter who you are. It doesn't matter where you are. It doesn't even matter if you know she's coming. Because in the end, strong or wise, rich or hardened, friend or foe, Madlax will have you eating bullets out of the palm of her hand. Margaret Burton - An orphaned schoolgirl with issues. Haunted by bizarre and cloudy dreams, she must not only endure the horrifying images of her past, but she must also traverse the treacherous path of high school.

Mahler, Gustav - Attrazione D'Amore/ Berio, Luciano - Voyage To Cythera
Film 1 - Attrazione d'Amore is a touching illustration of the unique relation that has developed between the Conductor Riccardo Chailly and his famous Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. Juxtaposing rehearsals and performances of works by Mahler, Mozart, Debussy, Stravinsky and Varese as well as Puccini's Tosca, Frank Scheffer paints a fascinating portrait of mutual love between a Conductor and an orchestra based on the magical attraction of music. The film also features interviews of Donald Mitchell, Luciano Berio and Riccardo Chailly himself. Film 2 - Voyage to Cythera. In 1968 Luciano Berio, composer and pioneer of electroacoustic music, created Sinfonia, a memorable orchestral piece and harmonic journey through references to composers such as Stravinsky, Boulez, Schonberg, Stockhausen and most of all, Mahler. Just as Sinfonia uses the image of a river to connect its various elements, Voyage to Cythera navigates through wonderful musical quotes made of performances conducted by Berio, rehearsals, archival documents and interviews featuring Riccardo Chailly and Louis Andriessen.
Mahler, Gustav - Conducting Mahler/ I Have Lost Touch With The World
Film 1 - Conducting Mahler from acclaimed director Frank Scheffer documents the interpretations of Gustav Mahler's compositions by conductors Bernard Haitink, Riccardo Chailly, Riccardo Muti, Claudio Abbado and Simon Rattle, who detail the special relationship they have with Mahler's work. The film includes rehearsals and performances by the Amsterdan Concertgebouw Orchestra, the Berliner Philharmoniker and the Wiener Philharmoniker at the Mahler Festival in May 1995. Film 2 - Mahler - I have lost touch with the World is based on Mahler's 9th Symphony. In the four parts of this film, renowned conductor Riccardo Chailly and Mahler's internationally acclaimed biographer Henry-Louis de la Grange analyse the four movements of this masterful musical piece. Reaching into the heart of Mahler's music, the film marks Riccardo Chailly's celebration of his departure from Amsterdam's Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in June 2004, after sixteen years of close collaboration.
?What a world this is that brings forth such sounds and shapes as its reflected likeness!? Gustav Mahler. Vision Mahler, the abstract visualization of Gustav Mahler?s Symphony No. 2 in C minor (the ?Resurrection? Symphony), premi?red on January 1, 2006 in Cologne at a gala concert staged to celebrate the 50th anniversary of WDR, a western German public broadcasting company. The work was performed under the direction of Semyon Bychkov before a live audience in Cologne?s Philharmonic Hall and simulcast on TV. Special projections allow eighteen 3D objects to mirror the emotions and feelings conjured up by this powerful music. The thematic junctures and stages of the Symphony ? suffering, romanticism, irony, love, doubt and hope?are correlated to the transformation of these virtual objects. In the first movement, for example, objects assemble, form structures and then break down in the second movement they dance, radiate and shine the third movement infuses the forms with irony and distorts them love is aglow with light in the fourth movement, and is succeeded in the fifth by tremors and destruction. Not until the finale does redemption make its appearance ? everything shimmers, sails and floats away. Preset camera paths along with special glasses help give the television audience the illusion of a spatial expansion of the TV image. Thus, a visualization of Mahler?s 2nd Symphony from several different angles is made available to the TV viewing audience.

Maid Marian And Her Merry Men - Complete Series 2
Who steals from the rich to give to the poor? Who is the last bastion of truth, freedom and goodness for the peasants of Worksop? Who really gets up the Sheriff of Nottingham's big nose? ...Robin of Sherwood? No, he'd rather hide under trees to avoid any bruising to his perfect face or creasing of his lovely, non-catalogue, green outfit. Contrary to popular belief, it was Marian - strong, brave, blonde and bossy - who led the merry men. That would be the merry, lethargic, witless and everso slightly incompetent men! In the continuing saga of Tony (Baldrick) Robinson's most excellent Maid Marian series, we find the forest dwelling troupe getting into more scrapes and blunders to do good for the people of Worksop. Backed up by 'thick-as-a-brick' Rabies, aptly named Little Ron, and Rastafarian Barrington, (oh, and Robin), Marian tackles the might of Evil King John and the mischief of the Sheriff of Nottingham. Set in open woodland, events take surreal twists. The plots unravel though witty songs and film parodies, with sarcastic repartee and contemporary references, and are usually resolved in time for tea and for a big load of credit to plop smugly at Robin's feet! This perfectly conceived historical farce is witty, warm and stylish. It is one of those rare programmes made for and enjoyed by both children and adults and has secured a huge fan-base in the seventeen years since it was first transmitted.

Each winter, alone in the pitiless ice deserts of Antarctica, deep in the most inhospitable terrain on Earth, a truly remarkable journey takes place as it has done for millennia. Emperor penguins in their thousands abandon the deep blue security of their ocean home and clamber onto the frozen ice to begin their long journey into a region so bleak, so extreme, it supports no other wildlife at this time of year. In single file, the penguins march blinded by blizzards, buffeted by gale force winds. Resolute, indomitable, driven by the overpowering urge to reproduce, to assure the survival of the species. Guided by instinct, by the otherworldly radiance of the Southern Cross, they head unerringly for their traditional breeding ground where - after a ritual courtship of intricate dances and delicate maneuvering, accompanied by a cacophony of ecstatic song - they will pair off into monogamous couples and mate. The days grow shorter, the weather ever more bitter. The females remain long enough only to lay a single egg. Once this is accomplished, exhausted by weeks without nourishment, they begin their return journey across the ice-field to the fish-filled seas. The journey is hazardous, and rapacious leopard seals a predatory threat. The male emperors are left behind to guard and hatch the precious eggs, which they cradle at all times on top of their feet. Subjected to subzero temperatures and the terrible trials of the polar winter, they too face great dangers. After two long months during which the males eat nothing, the eggs begin to hatch. Once they have emerged into their ghostly white new world, the chicks can not survive for long on their fathers' limited food reserves. If their mothers are late returning from the ocean with food, the newly-hatched young will die. Once the families are reunited, the roles reverse, the mothers remaining with their new young while their mates head, exhausted and starved, for the sea, and food. While the adults fish, the chicks face the ever-present threat of attack by prowling giant petrels. As the weather grows warmer and the ice floes finally begin to crack and melt, the adults will repeat their arduous journey countless times, marching many hundreds of miles over some of the most treacherous territory on Earth, until the chicks are ready to take their first faltering dive into the deep blue waters of the Antarctic. The film won an Oscar (R) for Best Documentary Feature at the 2006 Academy Awards.

Japanese director Takashi Shimizu (JU-ON) presents another slice of atmospheric J-horror with his gory frightfest MAREBITO. In an inspired bit of casting, real-life director Shinya Tsukamoto (TETSUO: THE IRON MAN) stars as Masuoka, a filmmaker obsessed with capturing the essence of fear via his ever-present digital-video camera.

County Durham's prosperity and the growth of it's rail network was due to the county's once extensive coalfields, with many mines still open until the late 1960s, their rail traffic operated by Class J27s, Q6s and WDs steam locomotives. In addition, superb film taken at a variety of locations shows National Coal Board locomotives hard at work. Continuing the coastal journey from Billington to Newcastle - started in Volume 4, 'Darlington'- the River Tyne is crossed before moving South on the ECML. A narrow gauge clay-pit railway locomotive being delivered behind a traction engine is featured, together with Durham's most Westerly branchline - Weardale.
Marsden Rail - 08 - Birmingham
The railway map of Birmingham and the west Midlands was extremely complicated, with the Midland, London North Western and Great Western railways competing for traffic. This video looks at the area's disappearing rail network of the 1960s, from the Lickey Incline in the south to the Trent Valley line in the north and from Hatton in the east to Oxley in the west. The main line diesel had not invaded these areas in 1963, so ex-LMS and GWR hard at work handling the wide variety of trains for which they had been designed, from long distance freights to branchline pickup goods.
The video starts with views of Leeds City and Wellington Station, together with nearby Neville Hill MPD before heading north to Shipley, Keighley and Skipton, using the former Midland Railway main line and en route, Bradford's Manningham shed and Forster Square station are seen.

Another electrically-powered transport system could also be found in Sheffield in the 1950s, in the form of the city's original tram system and a film made in 1958 from Beauchief to the city centre is an interesting reminder of the period. Sheffield is left behind on board a steam-hauled service in 1964, with a detailed film sequence that traces the 25-mile route from the city's Midland Station to Chinley in the heart of the Derbyshire Peak District. A famous feature of the area's rail system was the Cromford and High Peak Railway which, together with film of the route from Parsley Hay to Ashbourne, highlights the diversity of rail operation that existed until the closures of the 1960s.

A Night At The Opera - One of the funniest of their films, their first for MGM and the first without Zeppo. A big - budget extravaganza with top-notch music sequences, highlights being the classic stateroom closet scene aboard ship and the 'Party of the First Part' contract-signing. Lines to remember: `Let joy be unconfined. Let there be dancing in the streets, drinking in the saloons and necking in the park'. A Night In Casablanca - A gang of escaped Nazis have hidden stolen jewels and art treasures in the Hotel Casablanca in North Africa. Groucho arrives as the new manager with Chico as his bodyguard and Harpo as the mischievous valet to the villainous gang leader Sig Rumann. Of course mayhem soon follows as well as the familiar wisecracks. The last important film that the Marx Brothers made together.
The fifth film of the Marx Brothers and definitely their best. Made in 1933 during the Depression, it is a short but brilliant political satire with Groucho as Rufus T. Firefly, an hilarious dictator of mythical Freedonia, while Harpo and Chico are commissioned as spies by Groucho's political rival, the calculating Trentino. Contains many of the Brothers' famous sequences including the lemonade stand, the spoof of '30s musicals, the hilarious mirror scene and brilliant battle scene copied by everyone.

Marx Brothers - Time Marx Is On
The Marx Brothers story begins over 100 years ago. Chico played the piano in pubs, Groucho sang as a boy soprano, and the brothers appeared as The Four Nightingales and The Six Mascots. The first performance in the Marx Brothers style was Fun in Hi Skule in 1912, followed by Mr. Green's Reception, Home Again,On the Mezzanine Floor and I'll Say She Is which became their first big success in 1924. After Home Again Gummo was to leave show business and became an agent, being replaced in the family performing troupe by Zeppo. The Cocoanuts,a Broadway show which became their first film, was soon to follow. Stage performances gave them the opportunity to test the material in front of an audience allowing them to perfect scripts and timing, a ritual they repeated when filming A Night at the Opera.

You Bet You Life (TV Pilot) - Recorded in 1949, this is the original pilot for Groucho's long running quiz show.

Her adversary Elizabeth is sung by Rosalind Plowright, in one of the best performances of her career, both intense and passionate in this demanding role.

Composer, librettist and conductor, Gian-Carlo Menotti was born in Cadegliano in Italy in 1911 but has lived mainly in America and Scotland. He studied at Milan Conservatoire from 1924-27 and then on Toscanini's advice at the Curtis Institute where he met and formed a lifelong friendship with Samuel Barber. He has worked mainly in the field of opera and is best remembered for his opera ?Amahl and the Night Visitors?. Menotti himself conducts this archive performance from Hamburg.

Merce Cunningham Collection - Vol. 1
A collection of dance films featuring the renowned Merce Cummingham Dance Company. Deli Commedia: Deli Commedia is conceived as a slapstick comedy, Cunningham's nod to the improvised farces of the Italian 18th-century commedia dell'arte and to the two-reel comedies of the silent screen. The score - I Can't Go On to the Next Thing, Till I Find Out More About You, by Pat Richter, Cunningham's favourite class accompanist - functioned like the piano accompaniments to silent films. Sight gags, kinetic jokes, cakewalking, tango, lindy hop and imaginative juxtapositions of bodies, props and special effects figures in the choreography. Changing Steps: Merce Cunningham choreographed Changing Steps in 1973 and it was first included in a performance given at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, New York. In its original form it consisted of a solo dance for each member of the company, 5 duets, 3 trios, 2 quartets, and 2 quintets, which could be performed in any order, and separately or overlapping if space allowed. Beach Birds For Camera: Beach Birds For Camera is a wide-screen film adaptation of a dance work originally made for the stage, featuring Merce Cunningham Dance Company.

Documentary on the life and work of Gustav Metzger, founder of Auto Destructive Art one of the most pivotal cultural figures of the past forty years. The Scale of Gustav Metzger's achievements and his contribution to contemporary culture are clearly demonstrated in Ken McMullen's film. From Freud to Vermeer, from Nazi design to the importance of drawing and the films of Leni Riefenstahl, Gustav Metzger speaks candidly of the influences which have shaped both his own work and the culture of our time. He witnessed the rise of Nazism as a small child in Nurnberg in the early 1930s and escaped to Great Britain in 1939. He trained as an artist before founding the auto-destructive art movement in 1959 which has influenced a generation of younger artists including The Who's Pete Townshend.

The grand opera Les Huguenots was one of the greatest operatic successes of the 19th century, and its creator was hailed as the foremost composer of his time. Yet today, he is largely forgotten by the opera-going public and his works lie gathering dust in opera house repertories around the world. Les Huguenots was performed at the opening in 1858 of the new Covent Garden Opera in London. However, it was a performance at the New York Metropolitan Opera in 1890 which went into the history books. In the German translations by Ignatz Franz Castelli (1837 Vienna) and Charlotte Birch-Pfeiffer (1838 Munich), the conflict between Catholics and Protestants was heavily disguised a new version was created by Gustaf Grundgens and Julius Kapp in Berlin in 1932. And John Dew's modern production caused something of a sensation when it was first performed in 1987 at the Deutsche Oper, Berlin. Giving the period and content of the work new reference points, his staging becomes almost oppressively contemporaneous: he sets the opera in a divided Berlin, where the wall is a symbol of the separation of the two German states.

Ricardo Tubbs (Jamie Foxx) is urbane and dead smart. He lives with Bronx-born Intel analyst Trudy (Naomie Harris), as they work undercover transporting drug loads into South Florida to identify a group responsible for three murders. Sonny Crockett (Colin Farrell) [to the untrained eye, his presentation may seem unorthodox, but procedurally, he is sound] is charismatic and flirtatious until - while undercover working with the supplier of the South Florida group - he gets romantically entangled with Isabella (Gong Li), the Chinese-Cuban wife of an arms and drugs trafficker. The best undercover identity is oneself with the volume turned up and restraint unplugged. The intensity of the case pushes Crockett and Tubbs out onto the edge where identity and fabrication become blurred, where cop and player become one - especially for Crockett in his romance with Isabella and for Tubbs in the provocation of an assault on those he loves.
