The term anno Domini is Medieval Latin, which means in the year of the Lord but is often translated as in the year of our Lord. It is occasionally set out more fully as anno Domini nostri Iesu (or Jesu) Christi ("in the year of Our Lord Jesus Christ"). The terms anno Domini (AD or A.D.) and before Christ (BC or B.C.) are used to label or number years in the Julian and Gregorian calendars.
This calendar era is based on the traditionally reckoned year of the conception or birth of Jesus of Nazareth, with AD counting years from the start of this epoch, and BC denoting years before the start of the era. There is no year zero in this scheme, so the year AD 1 immediately follows the year 1 BC. This dating system was devised in 525, but was not widely used until after 800.
The Gregorian calendar is the most widely used calendar in the world today. For decades, it has been the unofficial global standard, adopted in the pragmatic interests of international communication, transportation, and commercial integration, and recognized by international institutions such as the United Nations.

Plot: A film noir centering around a hard-boiled, stylish kingpin drug dealer, called King David, who returns to his hometown seeking redemption--but ends up only finding violent death. King David's final moments are spent with Paul, an aspiring journalist who knew him for just a few minutes; yet King David would forever more have an impact on Paul's life. Half preacher, half Satan, and all street smarts, King David had recorded the story of his exploits on audiotape, leaving behind an often-poetic sermon on villainy and its consequences. The tapes reveal that the cycle of violence and retribution, which his actions have spawned, has come back to him, full circle, as he suspected they might all along.

The only problem was that no one wanted to see his non-stars in any story. Arliss Howard co-stars as a cocaine-addled law enforcement nemesis of Tighman, who attempts to stop him at every turn.

Genres: Drama,One Mind, One Soul, One-sided and we're outa control
Like a shot in the dark
We take aim, we never hit the mark
Wide-eyed with tunnel vision
A telltale sign of the human condition
One pride, One power, One Religion....
I don't buy this game,
Same old lie, we just change the name
(Chorus)
We're still running into the wind
And leading a Life of Crime
Though we deny it, We show our colors under the gun
We're still running into the wind
And living on borrowed time
Don't try to hide it,
We can't undo the things that are done
One fist held high, One voice claiming world dominion
No truth, We try, To reduce it to pure opinion
No judge, No jury, No guilt if we take away the rules
One war, One rebellion
One world full of fairytale fools
I don't buy this game,
Same old lie, we just change the name
