Drive angry 3d bluray9/18/2023 ![]() ![]() And yet I know enough to recognize what Drive Angry sets out to do and can appreciate that it does a reasonably good job of doing it. I must admit I don't gravitate to action or violence and if seeing and reviewing as many movies as I can wasn't how I barely make my living, I might not seek out something like this. This isn't a comedy, but it plays like one, with audiences meant to laugh and cheer at gruesome kills and impossible resurrections. The over-the-top violence, ludicrous gunplay, and outlandish story progression come with awareness. ![]() Unabashed in its excesses, Drive Angry has a design that excuses most of what could be perceived as faults in other action movies. Have looked to make relevant again for modern moviegoers, with their double feature Grindhouse and its spin-off Machete finding ample acclaim but limited commercial success. Like Milton, he exudes a hellish air and resilience beyond a mere mortal.ĭrive Angry belongs to the exploitation genre that directors Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino Meanwhile, Milton and Piper are being pursued by several jurisdictions' local law enforcement and, more passionately, by a coin-flipping man wielding an FBI badge and referring to himself only as The Accountant (William Fichtner). King and his devoted followers plan to sacrifice the child at the forthcoming full moon and Milton isn't about to let that happen. The couple got mixed up with a satanic cult and recently ended up dead, with their baby in the possession of cult ringleader Jonah King (Billy Burke, who, without his mustache, you might not recognize as Bella's father Charlie from The Twilight Saga). Milton explains his destination: he's looking to retrieve his infant grandchild, the daughter of his estranged daughter and her husband. Though he's headed for Louisiana's Stillwater Marsh and she is only driving to her fiancé, circumstances change and Milton and the Daisy Duked Piper are suddenly together for a long haul. As if not by coincidence, her 1969 Dodge Charger breaks down not long after she quits her thankless job and Milton knows just the quick fix, which he applies in exchange for a ride. Milton's next stop is a tiny Oklahoma diner, where he sees waitress Piper (Amber Heard). Just as those two have their ties, you suspect this Milton is linked to them from the otherworldly quality he displays in an opening scene, in which he casually shoots and kills a pick-up truck full of wayward hillbillies. 3D admissions illustrate that American audiences have undeniably grown weary of paying surcharges and wearing glasses, regardless of whether the movies were created for 3D or just refashioned for it.ĭrive Angry stars Cage as John Milton, a name you may recognize as the 17th century English author of the epic poem Paradise Lost or as Al Pacino's character in The Devil's Advocate. Though the supply of digital 3D films in theaters isn't going to slow anytime soon, the number of recent underperformers and breakdown of 2D vs. Despite many high-profile predictions to the contrary and support from every major studio and nearly every major film, the new age of 3D cinema that Avatar was supposed to launch is starting to look a lot like the fads that past waves of old-fashioned 3D proved to be. This action movie was shot in 3D and emphasized that angle in its marketing campaign, to distinguish it from the numerous coolly-received conversions released in the wake of Avatar's unprecedented success. In exchange for more paychecks, Cage must anticipate damage to his quote and a legacy that reaches back thirty years.ĭrive Angry, the second of four Cage movies to be released to theaters this year, appears to be a victim of bad timing. Probably not unrelated to this are the reports of Cage's financial troubles, including millions owed to the IRS in back taxes. The critical ratings and box office returns on them have decreased. In recent years, the production of Nicolas Cage movies has increased.

A Delete Selected Products button, when clicked, will delete those products selected.įigure 1: Each Product Row Includes a Checkbox ( Click to view full-size image) Step 1: Adding a Paged GridView that Lists Product Informationīefore we worry about adding a column of checkboxes, let s first focus on listing the products in a GridView that supports paging. Our example will include a paged GridView listing the products in the Products database table with a checkbox in each row (see Figure 1). In particular, we'll build an example that closely mimics the web-based email client user interface. In this tutorial we will see how to add a column of checkboxes and how to determine what checkboxes were checked on postback. The user can select an arbitrary number of messages and then perform some action, such as moving the emails to another folder or deleting them. Web-based email clients, for example, typically display the list of messages with a column of checkboxes. At times, however, we may want to allow the user to pick an arbitrary number of items from the grid. A column of radio buttons is a suitable user interface when the user is limited to choosing at most one item from the grid. In the preceding tutorial we examined how to add a column of radio buttons to the GridView for the purpose of selecting a particular record. ![]() This tutorial looks at how to add a column of check boxes to a GridView control to provide the user with an intuitive way of selecting multiple rows of the GridView. ![]() Denver nuggets roster all time9/18/2023 ![]() ![]() Denver went a stunning 16-4 in the playoffs, including 8-1 over the final two rounds. More importantly, Murray's increased production elevated his team. ![]() He also showed he was not afraid to take the shot in the most pressure-packed moments - a vital trait when you're playing alongside one of the best-passing big men of all time. With the load-management shackles off, Murray averaged a team-high 40 minutes per game and ranked second on the team behind Jokic in both points (a Canadian playoff record 26.1) and assists (7.1). That turned out to be just a taste of what was to come in the playoffs. Kitchener, Ont., native Jamal Murray recorded 14 points, eight assists and eight rebounds and becomes the ninth Canadian to win an NBA title. Star centre Nikola Jokić scored a game-high 28 points and was named the NBA Finals MVP. WATCH | Canada's Murray becomes NBA champion as Nuggets knock off Heat:ĭuration 1:27 Denver defeated Miami 94-89 in Game 5 of the NBA Finals to capture their first championship in franchise history. Still, Murray's return clearly made an impact as Denver improved by five wins, won its first division title since (you guessed it) 2020 and finished with the best record in the Western Conference. Though he averaged a career-high 6.2 assists, Murray's scoring rate dipped slightly, to an even 20 points, as the Nuggets managed his workload. ![]() The knee injury kept Murray out for the entire 2021-22 season, and he spent much of his comeback campaign playing his way back into form. After Murray blew out his knee the following April and missed the next two post-seasons, Jokic and the Nuggets won a total of one series. It's no accident that Jokic's deepest previous playoff run coincided with Murray's breakthrough performance in 2020, when the 23-year-old from Kitchener, Ont., exploded for a pair of 50-point games and two others with at least 40 as Denver reached the final four in the Disney World bubble. The near-seven-foot Serbian centre with the soul of a point guard was the obvious choice for Finals MVP after nearly averaging a triple-double for the entire playoffs - 30 points, 13.5 rebounds and 9.5 assists.īut even the best player in the world (a title that now unquestionably belongs to Jokic) needs help to win a championship, and that's where Murray comes in. Jokic capped one of the most impressive playoff runs in history last night by scoring 28 points, with 16 rebounds and four assists to lead the Nuggets to a gritty 94-89 win over Miami that delivered Denver its first NBA title in a tidy five games. This time, Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray played the Robin to Nikola Jokic's Batman as he and the two-time MVP captured their first Larry O'Brien Trophy.

Perry, who is on the front lines in the battle to educate our youth, said he had one Black male teacher until he reached graduate school. Jones added,”We know it’s so important to have teachers of color in the classroom to actually mentor our students.” Jones explained,“The University of Phoenix School of Education is one of the largest educational schools in the country, and so we feel that we are primed to be able to offer these 40 scholarships to actually impact that number.” are Black or Latino, and 2 percent are African American men, according to the U.S. NewsOne Now Audio Podcast: How Involved Are You In Your Child’s Education?Ĭurrently, only 15 percent of teachers in the U.S. When asked why it is critical to increase the numbers of African American teachers, Byron Jones told Martin, “It really hits home at what we need in the community.”Īll Of The Above: What If Education Was Measured By More Than A Test?

Some were printed in England (like this book) and some in Poland and the margins were OK: Not perfect still but I think not really noticeable unless you are specifically looking for it. Still, it makes the book look a bit shoddy.Įdit September 2020: Since writing this, I have published 2 other color books through Amazon (see here and here, with pictures of the actual printed books) but I didn’t see the same issue on the multiple copies I received for those books. However, it must be said that none of the pictures or texts, which were all in the safe zone, have been cut. On top of that, when the outside margin becomes small, some internal print markings appear in the gutter: Also, on the right page, the shape of the photo on the next page can be seen bleeding through, even though the 2 margins should have been identical. For example:Ībove, these are supposed to be the exact same margins. It is all the more visible since the photos in the book are aligned with the borders of the safe zone (the zone on the page that should contain all the important content). It seems the printing on the page is not very precise and the end result is that margins can vary wildly between each pages. This probably happened in transport: These days, Amazon uses soft bubble-wrapped envelopes instead of rigid cardboard. Also the front (soft) cover and the first few pages were dog-eared. – When I got the book, the coating of the glossy back cover was scratched in a few places. – KDP only allows text on the spine for books with at least 100 pages. – The PDF I sent included a margin for bleed, although in the end I ended up not making use of it. ![]() – The length of the book is 104 pages for the content and KDP added an additional 4 pages, all empty apart from the last one which had some internal barcode and a “Printed in Great Britain by Amazon” footer. I haven’t tested it yet so I am not sure of the quality. It is quite a bit pricier than softcover though. Update July 2022: Since last year, publishing hardcover books has also become possible. The book is square with a size of 8.5 inch x 8.5 inch. It still a soft cover (only choice offered by Amazon KDP). I also used the glossy cover finish, instead of matte. – In contrast with my previous books, which were in B&W, this one was in color. Here are some details about the book and the publishing process: I think the result came out OK enough, especially for the price and printed on demand, although it is obviously not Taschen-level quality. Here are some additional images of the interior, back cover and spine. Here is the code that was used to generate it (I had put a link in the comments after it was requested this is the same): ![]() Here is the full PDF of the paperback version of the book as uploaded to Amazon KDP: Someone in the comments also mentioned Affinity Publisher as a cheap alternative for desktop publishing that may be easier to use than Scribus. ![]() I actually would recommend that over Python + Reportlab for anything a little complex to layout. ![]() It is kind of like Adobe InDesign (but free) and it is quite easy to develop extensions in Python to automate parts of the workflow (I have written some for my second book here). I am planning some other book projects I care about more and this allowed me to see if it was worth it putting in the effort.Įdit September 2020: Since writing this, I have published 3 more books: Instead of using Python code and Reportlab to format the book like mentioned here, I used Scribus, an open source desktop publishing software (version 1.4 for the first book and version 1.5 for the second Version 1.5 is still in beta and is a bit buggy but has better handling for font embedding, useful for the print replica). I kept it simple since I was mostly interested in checking out how a Print-On-Demand color book would turn out and also test if Reportlab / Python could be used as a suitable replacement for Latex (which I used in my previous books) for the book layout. The book is nominally in French, however, apart from the title, there is no text in French in the book: The content is basically only photos, along with the geographic coordinates of where it was taken. Here are the product pages on Amazon: US, FR, UK, DE, JP. It is a Print-On-Demand color photo book titled “Croix de Savoie” ( Crosses of Savoie).
