PORTRAITS FROM THE WOODS Photography by NORMAN REEDUS THE BONNIER GALLERY November 30th- January 11th December 7th 6:00-9:00 PM -Collective Art Basel Art Party 3408 NW 7th Avenue, Miami FL 33127 Norman Reedus has an indelible way of capturing the beauty and mystery in others. His photographs are beautiful and terrifying, macabre and provoking, alternately dark and sublime. In his new never before exhibited series of photographs, Reedus shares portraits of Diane Kruger, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Hideo Kojima, Lena Dunham and many more to reveal the faces that inhabit his electrifying life. Norman is never without his camera. Like his life on set and in the real world, Reedus’s images vacillate between the real and surreal. Certain portraits remain vivid and clear, while others are washed in intrigue: grainy, hazy and obscured. What unites all of these faces are the eyes that see them: Norman’s. From those eyes come a piercing intimacy, both precious and rare. Norman knows how to use the flat surface. He imbues it with the physicality that he knows as an actor, the spatial sense when you’re moving around in that rectangle. The spontaneity of live action next to the STILLness of death, fake, stuffed…real. —KIM GORDON 401 East 88th Street Suite 6F NYC 10128 • 917-553-8990 • bigbaldgallery.com • [email protected] NORMAN REEDUS: BIO Norman Reedus is a multi-disciplined actor, photographer, and director.

The Walking Dead X Gods of Boom Features
AMC’s The Walking Dead Invades Gods of Boom Game Insight’s mobile FPS Gods of Boom to Deliver a Themed Collaboration with AMC’s The Walking Dead Timed to the Mid-Season Premiere of Season 10 February 20th 2020 — To celebrate the mid-season premiere of The Walking Dead Season 10 this Sunday, February 23 on AMC, the network and Game Insight’s mobile game Gods of Boom are releasing a TWD-themed update. This unique integration will allow players to experience the action and excitement of GOB’s mobile first-person shooter gameplay in the setting of The Walking Dead universe. Starting today, players will fight their way through a seemingly abandoned settlement, slaying herds of walkers as well as Whisperers -- the formidable faction from the current season of the series. In-mission, players can also arm themselves with iconic weapons from the TV show, like Daryl’s trusty crossbow, Rick’s revolver and Negan’s infamous barbed-wire bat, “Lucille.” What’s more, and for the first time ever, Gods of Boom will be adding a new, limited-time only, full character skin to the game: walker hunter extraordinaire Daryl Dixon, as portrayed by Norman Reedus, whose likeness has been painstakingly recreated for the game. A Truly Authentic The Walking Dead Experience: Gods of Boom, the winner of several mobile game awards, is known for its fun, engaging, and tactical gameplay. Combining this with the AMC series’ thrilling atmosphere results in a unique and visceral experience for players; that of prowling the walker-filled streets of a ruined city, vigilant against threats both alive and dead.

The Boondock Saints - Giustizia Finale (1999) Un Film Che Riesce a Distinguersi Dal Gregge Di Un Genere Tanto Usurato
The Boondock Saints - Giustizia finale (1999) Un film che riesce a distinguersi dal gregge di un genere tanto usurato. Un film di Troy Duffy con Willem Dafoe, Sean Patrick Flanery, Norman Reedus, David Della Rocco, Billy Connolly, David Ferry, Brian Mahoney, Richard Fitzpatrick, William Young (II), Robert Pemberton. Genere Politico durata 140 minuti. Produzione USA 1999. Due goodfellas irlandesi giocano a fare i giustizieri a Boston. L'agente dell'Fbi Dafoe prova a fermarli. La bella città<I> east coast</I> è ben ripre... Giuseppe Grossi - www.mymovies.it C'è del marcio a Boston. Il sangue versato dalla mafia si mescola con la buona birra irlandese. Il retrogusto è quello della vendetta e del castigo divino. I fratelli Mac Manus credono nella figura del Dio punitore e ritengono sia l'ora di fare piazza pulita. Se il creatore scatenò le piaghe d'Egitto, i due giovani sceriffi fai da te applicheranno un'epurazione totale. Spacciatori, stupratori, assassini. La punizione si trasforma in un dovere da rispettare tutti i santi giorni. 'The Boondock Saints' è una naturale conseguenza della ventata pulp del cinema tarantiniano. Quello dei balordi da punire, degli scontri verbali oltre che fisici, passi biblici inclusi. Troy Duffy si serve del genere senza diventare vittima di confronti, raccontando un hard boiled deduttivo capace di sollevare un interessante problema etico sul senso della giustizia. Laddove il necessario non coincide col giusto e quando le leggi umane si scoprono inapplicabili come i precetti religiosi, la violenza sembra l'unica estrema soluzione. Il film ha il merito di non schierarsi e di delineare protagonisti contradditori, in cui l'opposizione manichea tra bene e male si risolve in anime grigie.
