In the original HIGH HOPES Danny’s dream was about to come true when he nails the audition for the lead in a network sitcom, but when Danny meets with the Executive Producer of the film….all his dreams are shattered……as karma catches up to hot headed Danny who previously kicked the producer out of his cab. Instead of getting the part Danny is blacklisted and can’t get any acting gigs. But Danny doesn’t give up and he and another actor Sal decide to make their own film. HIGH HOPES 2 picks up Danny’s life several years later. Now in his 50’s and still blacklisted Danny hasn’t had an acting job in years. He and Sal fail at making a movie and Danny is faced with the reality that he’s getting old and his acting career may be over. Furthermore he’s beginning to believe that all his friends that call him a loser may be right that he’s wasted his whole life pursuing his dream….and that’s not hard luck Danny’s only problem! Due to a series of hilarious mishaps Danny’s boss at the cab company knocks him out and the only way he can keep his job is to fight HER in a boxing match! Danny’s wife has had enough and leaves him. His daughter hates his guts, he’s facing eviction….and one other thing……..the police are after him! HIGH HOPES 2: A NEW BEGINNING is a ROCKY story about an actor. Its about having a dream and never giving up. 60 years ago in an episode of THE HONEYMOONERS Ralph Kramden laments never making it as a saxophone musician because “I could never hit that high note”. High Hopes 2: is about trying to hit that high note. It’s about never giving up even when all the odds are stacked against you. Like Rocky, like Ralph Kramden, Danny won’t give up on his dream…he won’t let go of his……..HIGH HOPES TRAILER :YOU TUBE- HIGH HOPES 2: A NEW BEGINNING(THEATRICAL TRAILER) CONTACT INFO: email: [email protected] Dennis Cabrini Phone: 631-374-5799 CAST DENNIS CABRINI – DANNY VALENTINO Dennis Cabrini once again plays the lead role of Danny Valentino in HIGH HOPES 2: A NEW BEGINNING, the sequel to the award winning original HIGH HOPES HIGH HOPES 2: A NEW BEGINNING DIRECTED BY DENNIS CABRINI AND ASSISTANT DIRECTOR ANDREW SCHWARZ HAS ALREADY WON THE AUDIENCE CHOICE AWARD FOR BEST FEATURE at the THE NEW FILMAKERS FESTIVAL 2017 WINTER SESSION & AT THE HOLLYWOOD DREAMZ FILM FESTIVAL IN LAS VEGAS HIGH HOPES 2: A NEW BEGINNING WON OUTSTANDING CAST PERFORMANCE AND GARNERED 5 NOMINATIONS FOR BEST ACTOR, BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR, BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS AND BEST EDITING.

Recording the domestic dramas and business anxieties of family living the bourgeois life in a pleasant New Jersey suburb, The Sopranos is a saga of middle-class life in America at the turn of the century. Chronicled in twenty-six hour-long episodes, the first two seasons from the series will be shown in two four-day sequences at The Museum of Modern Art, from February 3-13 at the Roy and Niuta Titus Theatre 1. "The Sopranos is a cynical yet deeply felt look at this particular family man," remarks Laurence Kardish, Senior Curator, Department of Film and Video, who organized the program. "David Chase and his team have created a series distinguished by its bone-dry humor and understated, quirky, and stinging perspective - not usually seen on television." Renowned for his savvy profiles of power players in the media, Ken Auletta will join David Chase for a discussion of The Sopranos at The Museum on February 12. The Department of Film and Video gratefully acknowledges HBO for making the series available for public viewing.

  • Knowledge Generation Arxiv:2101.08857V1 [Cs.LG] 21 Jan
    MSc Artificial Intelligence Master Thesis Knowledge Generation Variational Bayes on Knowledge Graphs by Florian Wolf 12393339 January 25, 2021 48 Credits April 2020 - January 2021 Supervisor: Dr Peter Bloem Thiviyan Thanapalasingam Chiara SpruijtarXiv:2101.08857v1 [cs.LG] 21 Jan 2021 Assessor: Dr Paul Groth Abstract This thesis is a proof of concept for the potential of Variational Auto-Encoder (VAE) on rep- resentation learning of real-world Knowledge Graphs (KG). Inspired by successful approaches to the generation of molecular graphs, we experiment and evaluate the capabilities and limita- tions of our model, the Relational Graph Variational Auto-Encoder (RGVAE), characterized by its permutation invariant loss function. The impact of the modular hyperparameter choices, encoding though graph convolutions, graph matching and latent space prior, are analyzed and the added value is compared. The RGVAE is first evaluated on link prediction, a common experiment indicating its potential use for KG completion. The model is ranked by its ability to predict the correct entity for an incomplete triple. The mean reciprocal rank (MRR) scores on the two datasets FB15K-237 and WN18RR are compared between the RGVAE and the embedding-based model DistMult. To isolate the impact of each module, a variational Dist- Mult and a RGVAE without latent space prior constraint are implemented. We conclude, that neither convolutions nor permutation invariance alter the scoring. The results show that be- tween different settings, the RGVAE with relaxed latent space, scores highest on both datasets, yet does not outperform the DistMult. Graph VAEs on molecular data are able to generate unseen and valid molecules as a re- sults of latent space interpolation.

  • Vincent Pastore Goes Public with Prostate Cancer Battle
    Vincent Pastore Goes Public With Prostate Cancer Battle Actor Vincent Pastore has gone public with his prostate cancer fight after secretly battling the disease for the past year. The Sopranos star reveals he was diagnosed with the illness in March, 2013, shortly after landing a role as a mobster in Woody Allen’s stage adaptation of Bullets Over Broadway and he was so worried cancer would rob him of his chance to shine on Broadway, he kept the news of his health crisis to himself. He underwent surgery last July (13) and received radiation treatment at White Plains Hospital in New York between November (13) and January (14), all while attending “physically exhausting” rehearsals for the musical in Manhattan. Pastore finally decided to come clean about his cancer battle to play director Susan Stroman and he was relieved when she didn’t fire him from the cast. He tells the New York Daily News, “I told her that if she had to get rid of me, to just get rid of me. Instead she started to cry. She hugged me and said, ‘I will never get rid of you.’ It was an amazing moment that gave me the strength to work even harder.” Pastore has also heaped praise on filmmaker Allen for his support throughout the ordeal and he cannot believe he has since made it to his 100th performance of Bullets Over Broadway, which opened in April (14). He says, “I kept setting goals for myself during this illness. First, make it through rehearsals. Then to previews. I did that.
