简介： 西西里人萨尔瓦托·朱里安诺的传奇经历 朱里安诺是近代历史上一个近乎罗宾汉式的人物，他统治着西西里的大片土地，四十年代起，他一方面企图促使自己的故乡摆脱意大利政府的独立，另一方面又要与当地的黑手党、教会等多方势力明争暗斗…… 由于《教父》在小说和电影方面的前所未有的巨大成功，马里奥•普佐于1984年推出了又一本黑社会题材小说《西西里人》，电影改编权卖出了100万美元的高价。获得改编权的格拉登娱乐公司(Gladden Entertainment)的老板大卫•贝格曼(David Begelman)选择迈克尔•西米诺来执导影片。西米诺向制片人布鲁斯•麦克纳尔(Bruce McNall)抱怨老板贝格曼在剧本和演员挑选上干涉过多。比如西米诺希望克里斯托弗•兰伯特演男主角朱里亚诺，贝格曼则考虑让某个法国演员出演。麦克纳尔将西米诺的意见传达给贝格曼后，西米诺如愿所偿地得到了他心目中的男一号克里斯托弗•兰伯特。可惜在事后看来，这或许并非最好的选择。年纪尚轻的兰伯特尚无法与一代枭雄的魅力和气场相衬，他在片中的演技遭到了诟病。 影片在西西里拍摄时，遇上了进度落后和预算超支的问题，另外当地的黑手党人把控着一些拍摄地和工会工人，对影片拍摄也是一项阻碍。西米诺让贝格曼和麦克纳尔出面和当地黑手党进行商谈，商谈之后他们才得知，黑手党之所以阻扰电影拍摄，原来是希望自己能在影片中出镜，于是马上安排着这些人担当群众演员，问题迎刃而解。 拍摄结束后，西米诺一头扎进剪辑室里工作了六个月，剪出了一版长约150分钟的成片。但根据合同，他对影片只拥有120分钟的最终剪辑权。影片在美国国内的发行商二十世纪福斯公司拒绝了西米诺的150分钟版本，要求他将片子剪短。西米诺一气之下，把影片剪到了120分钟之内，其实是把所有动作戏份统统剪了。这下轮到贝格曼和麦克纳尔不满了，西米诺则辩称自己拥有120分钟的最终剪辑权而拒绝让步，双方只好对簿公堂。最终法庭判决合同中所谓的120分钟最终剪辑权无法成立，西米诺欺骗了制片人。贝尔曼最终将影片剪到115分钟，《西西人》终于得以问世。 即将由Shout Factory发行的《西西里人》蓝光采用的是146分钟的导演剪辑版，不过有不少人认为西米诺犯了不知取舍、大而无当的毛病，导演版令人昏昏欲睡，倒是115分钟的剧院版更紧凑精彩些，这就见仁见智了

简介： 本剧集是BBC 2台2000年正式推出的以青年人为题材和对象的系列情景喜剧，创意和编剧均由Steven Moffat一人担当。三男三女的主要人物构成很容易使人联想到当时正走红（其实已经在走下坡路）的《Friends》，因此很有不少根本没看过本剧的媒体人士和评论家想当然地将本剧称作英国版的《Friends》，而在那些有幸欣赏过本剧的观众们看来，《Coupling》在情节设定、人物表演、喜剧元素的设计和表现等诸多方面所达到的水平，要比《Friends》高几个档次。相比之下，《Friends》只能说是一部“业余”水平的好作品而已。当然总体来说，英剧的水准本身就高于美剧，这和英剧注意保持创意、编剧一体化是分不开的，美剧的创意一般也就为最初几集编剧，以后主要的编剧工作都是由其它编剧根据最初的角色设定来自由发挥，编剧队伍的构成也是不断变化，老的走新的来，造成美剧情节连贯性差甚至前后矛盾，故事往往缺乏深度，人物性格平面化，缺少发展。这都是题外话了。《Coupling》的主要人物包括优柔寡断、性格不成熟的帅哥Steve，Steve的莫逆之交、举止语言古怪、总也找不到女友的Jeff，头脑简单、外表性感的“donkey” Patrick三位对Porn、特别是lesbian porn非常热中的男士，以及Steve的前女友、神神叨叨、擅用性感作武器的Jane，Steve的继任女友、Jeff的同事、曾经非常“不羁”（包括和Jeff还有Patrick）过的Susan，Susan的莫逆、对衰老和肥胖极度敏感的美容师Sally三位女士。本剧的主线包括Steve和 Susan之间逐渐正式起来的关系，Jeff寻找艳遇过程中的种种意外以及后来和上司发展出来的一段关系，Patrick和Sally之间若有若无到若即若离再到情深难舍的感情发展，还有Jane在事业和异性关系中的各种奇事，等等。本剧在情节设计中所达到的精致和完美程度让人叹为观止，而六位当时并不算大明星的青年演员的所展现精湛演技更是具有顶尖演员的水平，无怪乎播出之后立刻走红大洋两岸，在IMDB、AMAZON和BBC网站可以领略到其受欢迎的程度

简介： At the beginning of 2259, Captain John Sheridan replaces Sinclair as the military governor of the station. He and the command staff learn that the death of President Santiago was actually an assassination masterminded by Vice President Clark (who assumed the Presidency upon Santiago's death). A conflict develops between the Babylon 5 command staff and the Psi Corps, an increasingly autocratic organization which oversees and controls the lives of human telepaths. Commander Ivanova, the second-in-command of the station, is secretly a latent telepath who has illicitly avoided registering with the Psi Corps The Shadows, an ancient and extremely powerful race who have recently emerged from hibernation, are revealed to be the cause of a variety of mysterious and disturbing events, including the attack on the Narn outpost at the end of 2258. Centauri Ambassador Londo Mollari unknowingly enlists their aid through his association with the mysterious Mr. Morden in the ongoing conflict with the Narn. The elderly and ailing Centauri emperor, long an advocate of reconciliation with the Narn, dies suddenly while visiting Babylon 5. A number of conspirators, including Londo Mollari and Refa, take control of the Centauri government by assassinating their opponents and placing the late emperor's unstable nephew on the throne. Their first act is to start open aggression against the Narn. After a full-scale war breaks out, the Centauri eventually conquer Narn in a brutal attack involving mass drivers, outlawed weapons of mass destruction. Towards the end of the year, the Clark administration begins to show increasingly totalitarian characteristics, clamping down on dissent and restricting freedom of speech. The Vorlons are revealed to be the basis of legends about angels on various worlds, including Earth, and are the ancient enemies of the Shadows. They enlist the aid of Sheridan and the Babylon 5 command staff in the struggle against the Shadows.

简介： The Psi Corps and President Clark, whose government has discovered Shadow vessels buried in Earth's solar system, begin to harness the vessels' advanced technology. The Clark administration continues to become increasingly xenophobic and totalitarian, and uses a military incident as an excuse to declare martial law. This triggers a war of independence on Mars, which had long had a strained political relationship with Earth. Babylon 5 also declares independence from Earth, along with several other outlying Earth Alliance colonies. In response, the Earth Alliance attempts to retake Babylon 5 by force, but with the aid of the Minbari, who have allied with the station against the growing Shadow threat, the attack is repelled Becoming concerned over the Shadows' growing influence amongst his people, Centauri ambassador Londo Mollari attempts to sever ties with them. Mr. Morden, the Shadows' human representative, tricks him into restoring the partnership by engineering the murder of Mollari's mistress while putting the blame on a rival Centauri House. Open warfare breaks out between the Shadows and the alliance led by Babylon 5 and the Minbari. It is learned that genetic manipulation by the Vorlons is the source of human telepathy, as it is later discovered that Shadow ships are vulnerable to telepathic attacks. Displeased at the Vorlons' lack of direct action against the Shadows, Captain John Sheridan browbeats Vorlon ambassador Kosh Naranek into launching an attack against their mutual enemy. Kosh's deeds lead to his subsequent assassination by the Shadows. Former station commander Jeffrey Sinclair returns to Babylon 5 to enlist the aid of Captain Sheridan, Delenn, Ivanova and Marcus in stealing the Babylon 4 space station and sending it 1,000 years back in time to use it as a base of operations against the Shadows in the previous Minbari-Shadow war. Undergoing the same transformation as Delenn at the end of Season 1, Sinclair transforms into a Minbari and is subsequently revealed to be the actual Valen of Minbari legend, rather than a reincarnation. Spurred by the reappearance of his assumed-dead wife (who now works for the Shadows), Sheridan travels to Z'ha'dum, the Shadow homeworld, in an attempt by them to recruit him. However he instead destroys their largest city in a kamikaze nuclear attack, and is last seen jumping into a miles-deep pit to escape the explosion. Garibaldi, during a fight with Shadow vessels, goes missing.
