Plot: New film From Diamond Minds- A film director on the set of coney island ready to shoot a remake of the 1979 cult classic the Warriors ' and who is in a repressed love situation with his production assistant. Is stuck on set after the bus being manned by Manuel Acevedo with all the warriors are on it crashes on the FDR drive. The director and girl are left in coney island to finally open up about feelings long withheld. When her jealous tattoo filled ex gets wind of the situation he starts a beef between the director of the film and the Outlaw biker community by spray painting the clubhouse of a biker club with the Warriors insignia leading them to the film maker. The ex arrives with his own crew to get the director as well. Action romance and the warriors. The use of real Outlaw bikers in film is a novelty. They usually keep to them selves. But with Mark Ortiz a seasoned Biker who helped get them into film this really makes a good comical wild ride thats similar to the Original Warriors in some ways. Film that started out trying to be the Warriors becomes the Warriors. Coney Island Film Festival Winner 2012 "Best Made in Coney"

Plot: A series of typical Avery spot gags set around wild animals. A dainty deer drinks very loudly and rudely from a lake. A pack rat swaps an egg and an acorn, then back again ("monotonous, isn't it?"). A flock of ducks lands; a hunter fires; all fly away, except one with an American flag on its side. A termite fells a huge tree. A cowboy rides across the plains well, no; his horse is just slapping itself with the front hooves. A coyote calls to its mate: "Hey, Mabel, come on out!" A camel contradicts the narrator, saying he's really thirsty. A wild dog: because of the lumbermen.

Eastwood, who won a Golden Globe for Best Director for this film, also paints a vivid portrait of the jazz world in all its complexity. Academy Award, Golden Globe and Emmy Award-winner Forest Whitaker ("The Last King of Scotland," "Phone Booth"), as Parker, provides a multifaceted performance that helps provide an understanding of the man's genius, and tragedy.

1988 was an incredible year for Michael Jordan. He won his first MVP, Defensive Player of the year, All Star MVP, the Slam Dunk Contest, his second straight scoring title and led the Bulls to 50 wins. But at that time the best team in the East was still Larry Bird's Boston Celtics. The Celtics won this game. Bird had 44 points to Jordan's 39. Jordan got his revenge 3 days later though in a Bulls victory over the Celtics. Jordan had 46 points and the Bulls won 50 games for the first time in a season. I've done something a little different this time. Instead of just showing Jordan's highlights, I've shown Birds as well because this was a classic shoot out. Enjoy

The Last King of Scotland - James McAvoy, Forest Whitaker, Gillian Anderson
The Last King of Scotland 2006 - James McAvoy, Forest Whitaker, Gillian Anderson Based on the events of the brutal Ugandan dictator Idi Amin's regime as seen by his personal physician during the 1970s In the early 1970s, Nicholas Garrigan, a young semi-idealistic Scottish doctor, comes to Uganda to assist in a rural hospital. Once there, he soon meets up with the new President, Idi Amin, who promises a golden age for the African nation. Garrigan hits it off immediately with the rabid Scotland fan, who soon offers him a senior position in the national health department and becomes one of Amin's closest advisers. However as the years pass, Garrigan cannot help but notice Amin's increasingly erratic behavior that grows beyond a legitimate fear of assassination into a murderous insanity that ...
I Am Legend 2 - Clint Eastwood, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Forest Whitaker Oscar Movies https://youtu.be/LGgndZhDwsk
Vantage Point is a 2008 American political action thriller film directed by Pete Travis; it was adapted from a screenplay written by Barry L. Levy. The story focuses on an assassination attempt on the President of the United States, as seen from the various vantage points of different characters. Dennis Quaid, Matthew Fox, Forest Whitaker, William Hurt, and Sigourney Weaver star in principal roles. The film is often compared, unfavorably, to Akira Kurosawa's Rashomon, which also employed storytelling through multiple perspectives. Rashomon used the multiple perspectives to question the possibility of truth, in a process called the Rashomon effect; in contrast, Vantage Point recounts a series of events which are re-enacted from several different perspectives and viewpoints in order to revea...

Harpy Eagles - The Most Powerful Birds - National Geographic Animals. It is sometimes known as the American harpy eagle to distinguish it from the Papuan eagle, which is sometimes known as the New Guinea harpy eagle or Papuan harpy eagle. It is the largest and most powerful raptor found in the Americas, and among the largest extant species of eagles in the world. It usually inhabits tropical lowland rainforests in the upper (emergent) canopy layer. Destruction of its natural habitat has caused it to vanish from many parts of its former range, and it is nearly extirpated in Central America. In Brazil, the harpy eagle is also known as royal-hawk

I am a bird
With pretty peppered wings
And green across my throat
Or maybe it’s more
Like emerald from the sea
Caught in a storm
Wings tired and torn
I sheltered in a tree
And everything did dance
As if the world was mad
Then came a groan
Like tendons and bones
Were torn and cracked and split
The tallest of them all
The river caught its fall
He was a man
With heavy gentle hands
He used to feed me grains
Pecking from his palm
He'd fill my head with praise
Then like a grub
Becomes beautiful
He disappeared and then
Came back as a bear
Oh, I never saw
Magic before
I know I will again
But until then
I'll wait my one
Until the day you come
Now he’s a fish
And I can't be with
Him so I'll wait instead
Where the river ends
I know that we’ll meet there
So now all I do
Is wait here for you
At this great oceans edge
I know that you’ll be
A bird the next time
