Toys is a 1992 fantasy comedy film directed by Barry Levinson and starring Robin Williams, Michael Gambon, Joan Cusack, Robin Wright, LL Cool J, and Jamie Foxx in his feature film debut.
The film failed at the box office at the time of its release, despite its impressive cast and lavish filmmaking. Levinson was criticized for a lack of plot focus. The magnitude of perceived directorial failure was such that Levinson was consequently nominated for (but did not win) a Razzie Award for Worst Director, for which he lost to David Seltzer for Shining Through. The film did, however, receive Oscar nominations for Art Direction, (which it lost to Howards End) and Costume Design (which was lost to Bram Stoker's Dracula). It was also entered into the 43rd Berlin International Film Festival.
Italian designer Ferdinando Scarfiotti spent over one year designing the film's sumptuous sets, which took over every sound stage at Fox Studios in Los Angeles. René Magritte's art, particularly The Son of Man, is obvious in its influence on the set design, and in part the costume design, of the film. The poster for the film distributed to movie theaters features Robin Williams in a red bowler hat against a blue, cloud-lined background. Golconda is also featured during a sequence where Robin Williams and Joan Cusack's characters perform in a music video sequence rife with surreal imagery, much of it Magritte-inspired. Other influences on the design of the film are Italian Futurism, most notably the work of Fortunato Depero, and a cross section of Dadaists and Modernist artists.

Plot: Mannheim Steamroller Christmas Live is a set of Christmas favorites from the group's best-selling Christmas albums. Mannheim Steamroller creator and composer Chip Davis has been recognized with 19 gold, eight multi-platinum and four platinum records and the group is the #1 Christmas music artist in all of history. The group's signature sound, characterized as "classical music meets rock and roll", established a distinctive new genre. While Mannheim Steamroller's music is uniquely moving by itself, Christmas Live captures the experience, sights and sounds of the group live in concert with this holiday release. The beloved holiday performance by some of the most talented musicians today and an intense multimedia presentation results in a powerful and emotional Christmas experience. This 56-minute Christmas concert features many favorite Mannheim Steamroller Christmas classics. "Joy to the World" perhaps best epitomizes the distinctive Mannheim Steamroller sound: powerful synthesized melodies and harmonies, an intense drive and pathos, and skillful ornamentation. The accompanying fireworks on a huge, over-stage screen add a striking visual dimension to the song. Several Renaissance-inspired numbers like "In dulci Jubilo" and "Wassail, Wassail" showcase unusual Renaissance instruments and are paired with a rich, on-screen portrayal of a Renaissance feast. The instrumental, theatrical, and multimedia performances are completely evocative of the Spirit of Christmas. Mannheim Steamroller's Christmas concerts have become a holiday tradition, much like decorating the tree, hanging stockings and exchanging presents. Christmas Live has become a permanent part of any Christmas celebration.

animation: Swanarts.com / Music: The Stubs Swanski przedstawia: RED BULL FUSION Od momentu, kiedy deskorolka przestała być hitem - jak yoyo czy hulahop - a chłopaki z Dog Town przejęli ją do swoich "niecnych" celów, ten kawałek drewna z truckami i kółkami stał się zaczątkiem, silnej i rozbudowanej miejskiej kultury. Deskorolka to nie tylko ewolucje wykonywane na murkach, poręczach czy rampach. To forma ekspresji. To kreatywność i styl. To cała kultura związana z muzyką, sztuką, fotografią i filmem. Dziś, kiedy wszystkie miejskie aktywności stały się wielką sprawą, deskorolka jest jednym z filarów zjawiska, jakim nazywamy kulturą miejską. Wystawa Red Bull Fusion to właśnie fuzja kilku miejskich zjawisk. Pierwszy krok. Na samym początku powstał projekt figurki winylowej. Figurka ta zosta...

With 70% of the population struggling with poverty Operation Blessing has provided aid to over one million Ukrainians since 1992. The economy in Ukraine is developing very slowly and many people face financial hardship. Most pensioners find it difficult to survive and many families spend most of their income for food and can’t buy good clothing or toys for their children. We have launched an ambitious project to bring practical assistance to desperate communities. After meeting with village elders, several families agreed to take part in a simple farming scheme we called SEED (Something to eat every day), bringing life and hope to the people of the Ukraine.
