  • Scary Movie 5 (2013) Una Parodia a Tutto Campo Che Si Avvale Dell'efficace Ritmo Della Versione Italiana
    Scary Movie 5 (2013) Una parodia a tutto campo che si avvale dell'efficace ritmo della versione italiana. Un film di Malcolm D. Lee con Lindsay Lohan, Charlie Sheen, Terry Crews, Kate Walsh, Ashley Tisdale, Jerry O'Connell, Molly Shannon, Heather Locklear, Chris Elliott, Simon Rex. Genere Commedia durata 85 minuti. Produzione USA 2013. Uscita nelle sale: giovedì 18 aprile 2013 Tra rivisitazioni geniali e battute a doppio senso, nel quinto episodio della saga demenziale horror più amata i protagonisti del cinema sono nuovamente sostituiti dalla loro folle controfigura. Giancarlo Zappoli - www.mymovies.it Dopo che Charlie Sheen (che interpreta se stesso) è stato ucciso da un fantasma nella sua camera da letto in cui si stava dando da fare con Lindsay Lohan (anche lei nei propri succinti panni) i suoi tre figli vengono rapiti e ritrovati dopo qualche tempo in un'abitazione nel bosco. Sono affidati allo zio Dan e a sua moglie Jody ma ben presto appare chiaro che con loro è entrato nella casa anche uno spirito malvagio. Così sia il lavoro di Dan (che sta testando droghe sugli scimpanzé per sviluppare la loro intelligenza) che le aspirazioni di Jody di diventare l'etoile nel balletto in cui danza subiscono forti interferenze. Parodia. Il Dizionario della Lingua Italiana Sabatini Colletti a questa voce precisa: "Versione comica, caricaturale di un'opera letteraria, di una canzone, di un film". Dal lontano 2000 quando i Wayans, Jason Friedberg, Aaron Seltzer si divertirono a divertire il pubblico con sberleffi mirati ai film horror di successo dell'epoca, con cadenza regolare la parodia dei blockbuster non solo orrorifici ha i suoi appassionati fan.

  • Resampling Residuals on Phylogenetic Trees: Extended Results Peter J
    Resampling Residuals on Phylogenetic Trees: Extended Results Peter J. Waddell1, Ariful Azad2 and Ishita Khan2 [email protected] 1Department of Biological Sciences, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN 47906, U.S.A. 2Department of Computer Science, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN 47906, U.S.A . In this article the results of Waddell and Azad (2009) are extended. In particular, the geometric percentage mean standard deviation measure of the fit of distances to a phylogenetic tree are adjusted for the number of parameters fitted on the tree. The formulae are also presented in their general form for any weight that is a function of the distance. The cell line gene expression data set of Ross et al. (2000) is reanalyzed. It is shown that ordinary least squares (OLS) is a much better fit to the data than a Neighbor Joining or BME tree. Residual resampling shows that cancer cell lines do indeed fit a tree fairly well and that the tree does have strong internal structure. Simulations show that least squares tree building methods, including OLS, are strong competitors with BME type methods for fitting model data, while real world examples often suggest the same conclusion. “… his ignorance and almost doe-like naivety is keeping his mind receptive to a possible solution.” A quotation from Kryten: Red Dwarf VIII-Cassandra Keywords: Resampled Residual Bootstrap, flexi-Weighted Least Squares Phylogenetic Trees fWLS, Balanced Minimum Evolution BME, Phylogenomics, Gene Expression Tree Waddell, Azad and Khan (2010).

  • 4.5.1 Los Abducidos: El Duro Retorno En Expediente X Se Duda De Si Las
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Diposit Digital de Documents de la UAB 4.5.1 Los abducidos: El duro retorno En Expediente X se duda de si las abducciones son obra de humanos o de extraterrestres por lo menos hasta el momento en que Mulder es abducido al final de la Temporada 7. La duda hace que el encuentro con otras personas que dicen haber sido abducidas siempre tenga relevancia para Mulder, Scully o ambos, como se puede ver con claridad en el caso de Cassandra Spender. Hasta que él mismo es abducido se da la paradójica situación de que quien cree en la posibilidad de la abducción es él mientras que Scully, abducida en la Temporada 2, siempre duda de quién la secuestró, convenciéndose de que los extraterrestres son responsables sólo cuando su compañero desaparece (y no necesariamente en referencia a su propio rapto). En cualquier caso poco importa en el fondo si el abducido ha sido víctima de sus congéneres humanos o de alienígenas porque en todos los casos él o ella cree –con la singular excepción de Scully– que sus raptores no son de este mundo. Como Leslie Jones nos recuerda, las historias de abducción de la vida real que han inspirado este aspecto de Expediente X “expresan una nueva creencia, tal vez un nuevo temor: a través de la experimentación sin emociones realizada por los alienígenas usando cuerpos humanos adquiridos por la fuerza, se demuestra que el hombre pertenece a la naturaleza, mientras que los extraterrestres habitan una especie de supercultura.” (Jones 94).

When they discover a Book of the Dead, they unwittingly summon up dormant demons living in the nearby woods, which possess the youngsters in succession until only one is left intact to fight for survival. 42 Cast: Harrison Ford, Jon Bernthal, Christopher Meloni, Nicole Beharie, Jud Tylor Rated: PG-13 Story type: Drama Run time: 128 min Synopsis: Academy Award winner Brian Helgeland ("L.A.

"42" tells the story of two men-the great Jackie Robinson and legendary Brooklyn Dodgers GM Branch Rickey-whose brave stand against prejudice forever changed the world by changing the game of baseball. In 1946, Branch Rickey (Harrison Ford) put himself at the forefront of history when he signed Jackie Robinson (Chadwick Boseman) to the team, breaking Major League Baseball's infamous color line.

  • Video Reviews 3-23-07.Qxp
    New On Video & DVD Eragon Is a fantastical adventure in a vein similar to that of the Lord Of The Rings trilogy and The Chronicles Of Narnia. A classic story of a quest driven by destiny and set in a land where elves, magi- cians, and humans live side by side, the battle between good and evil, innocence and cynicism, is taken up once again. John Malkovitch camps it up as the evil King Galbatorix, a former guardian of peace who long ago went over to the dark side. He now rules over a land from which dragons have all but disappeared, until humble farm boy Eragon (newcomer Edward Speelers) happens upon a myste- rious blue object that turns out to be a dragon egg. Eragon befriends the charming dragon cub, Saphira (voiced with aplomb by Rachel Weisz), and becomes her rider, designating him as the princi- pal warrior in the fight against evil. Jeremy Irons steals the show as the wise and mysterious old man who becomes Eragon’s mentor, guiding him through the tasks of saving a princess (Sienna Guillory) battling an evil sorcerer (Robert Carlyle, Trainspotting), and fending off hordes of the hideous Urgals. All of this will strike the seasoned fantasy viewer as familiar territory, but the formula is given life by veterans Malkovitch and Irons, as well as the young Speelers. The film was shot mostly in Hungary, whose breathtaking landscape combines to great effect with excellent cinematography. The special effects, created by Lord Of The Rings’ Digital Magic and Star Wars’ Industrial Light and Magic, more than live up to the precedent set by those films, while the dragon is film’s true star.
