Colin
OBS! Import. Kontrollera att språk och textning passar dig.Director Marc Price's British zombie horror, made on a micro-budget of 45 pounds, told from the zombie's perspective. Alastair Kirton stars as Colin, a young man who joins the ranks of the living dead after being attacked by a zombie. Through his encounters with objects, places and people, the film shows who Colin was and, more pertinently, what he has now become. Although more thoughtful than most zombie films, there's still plenty of gruesome shocks on offer, and this small, independent effort was a big hit at 2009's Frightfest film festival.Typ: DVD

The Handler
The Hebrew Republic
The saga of Israel is fascinating, unique, and controversial. Yet the whole is constructed from individual episodes. This book concentrates on relating such episodes rather than narrating a formal, conventional history up until the present day. Each section deals with a different aspect of this journey through the decades. The chapters are based on the author’s own articles, published over the last fifty years in many outlets, from The New York Times and The Jerusalem Post to The Guardian. Each section and essay is linked to the next by an explanatory introduction. Most subjects are often unconventional and unusual. They do not cover old ground and are often intentionally revelatory as they relate the history of Israel in a vivid, engaging way.
