"Centuries before the exploration of space, there was another voyage into the unknown."

Christopher Columbus has always dreamed of sailing across the ocean in a ship and discovering new worlds. He makes plans for years and in 1491 he gets permission from the Spanish Count Sanchez to set out on a journey with a few ships to discover new worlds and to take back valuables with him.

Besides being the kick-ass heroine from the Alien, Sigourney Weaver also played Queen Isabella I of Castile, Consort of Ferdinand II, King of Aragon in "1492: the conquest of paradise" which was directed by Ridley Scott (who also directed the first Alien film).

This con artist pops up in two new movies-more a con in the case of Harry Fabian (Robert De Niro), the ambulance-chasing lawyer in _B_Night and the City,_b_ and much more an artist in the person of Leon (Bernzy) Bernstein (Joe Pesci), the crime-chasing shutterbug hero of _B_The Public Eye._b_ The latter film, loosely inspired by Weegee, the great tabloid photographer, is set during World War II. Though "Night and the City," Irwin Winkler's remake of Jules Dassin's 1950 film noir, has been updated by writer Richard ("Clockers") Price, in spirit it belongs to an earlier era, when characters were "characters."Motor mouth Harry Fabian talks an up beat game, but his life operates by the rules of Murphy's Law (anything that can go wrong will go wrong). This time, however, he's sure he's going to strike gold-as a boxing promoter. There are some big problems with his scheme. His partner, ex-prizefighter Al Grossman (Jack Warden), is the brother of gangster Boom Boom Grossman (Alan King), and Harry's muscling in on Boom Boom's turf. And Harry's coconspirator and lover, Helen (Jessica Lange), is married to a violently jealous bar owner (Cliff Gorman). If things go wrong this time, he could be a dead man.Winkler, a successful producer ("Raging Bull," "Rocky") recently turned director ("Guilty by Suspicion"), has picked up some moves from Scorsese in his second, and much improved, effort. He gets the juices flowing with his nervous style, playing dread off gallows humor. He's got a lot to work with-the tangy, slangy bite of Price's underworld dialogue, and a cast that could milk tension from a bus schedule. De Niro is a sensationally manic-and even touching-sleaze; King, Warden and Gorman are splendidly disreputable, and Lange gives her role a tough/tender sexuality that's a pleasure to watch even when her character's loyalty to Harry confounds sense. "Night and the City" hits a false note at the finish. Forgive that and relish the movie's snappy, low-life high spirits.To properly enjoy Howard Franklin's "The Public Eye," it's best to forget about the real Weegee, who would have found this tribute hopelessly sentimental and its detective-movie plotting a crazy co

dience in a barrage of portentously pumped-up images and sounds: 15th-century Spain thunders by through billows of smoke, murk and noise. The music by Vangelis clangs and boings relentlessly; the sound of creaking sails on Columbus's voyage is as assaultive as the salvos of gunfire in the battle between Spaniards and rebelling Indians. Despite all the recent rethinking of Columbus and his discovery/invasion of the New World, "1492" is really a conventional Hollywood "biopic." Depardieu, a great movie star, seems all at sea in more ways than one. Hamstrung by Scott's overwrought style and Roselyne Bosch's underthought screenplay (and, frankly, his own barely adequate English), he hasn't a chance to develop his character. As Queen Isabel, Sigourney Weaver, immobile in her frozen fan of hair and iron-stiff brocade, looks like the Bride of Frankenstein after a course at finishing school. Some stunning images collide with dialogue like "No one ever expected this to be easy, Colon." This $50 million spectacle must be one of the least entertaining epic films ever made.

ntrivance. Yet for all its Hollywood silliness, there's something haunting about the figure of Bernzy, the solitary, night-crawling photographer who lives only for his work, collecting $3 for every corpse he photographs, unblinkingly witnessing the worst the New York streets have to offer. This is a portrait of the artist as hermit/voyeur/obsessive, a man who can connect to life only through the lens of his camera. What lures him out of his emotional shell is, of course, a beautiful woman-Barbara Hershey's glamorous nightclub owner, a vamp who ensorcells the photographer into playing private eye in a plot involving mobsters, wartime black markets and government scandals. Using all this artifice to illuminate the gritty world of a lonely shutterbug is an odd choice. Yet the tale's mournful B-movie romanticism-and Pesci's introspective, crablike performance-gets under your skin. In its moody, daffy way, "The Public Eye" gives off an authentic reek of artistic compulsion.DAVID ANSENHere's a one-word review of "1492": hubris. That overweening pride belongs to director Ridley Scott ("Alien"), a visual wizard who outwizards himself. Scott doesn't so much ten the story of Columbus (Gerard Depardieu) as hurl it at the au

Kevin Dunn

Physique: Husky Height: 5' 10" (1.78 m)

Kevin Dunn (born August 24, 1955-) is an American actor who has appeared in supporting roles in a number of films and television series since the 1980s. Dunn's roles include White House Communications Director Alan Reed in the political comedy Dave, U.S. Army Colonel Hicks in the 1998 version of Godzilla, Sam Witwicky's father Ron in the Transformers film series, Oscar Galvin in the 2010 action thriller Unstoppable, and misanthropic White House Chief of Staff Ben Cafferty in Veep. He has also had recurring roles on True Detective in 2014 and on the TV series adaptation of The Mosquito Coast in 2021.

Genial, slightly stocky with a pleasant (if unremarkable) countenance, Dunn cut his chops playing everymen in movies and one-shot television episodes. Although clean-shaven for most roles, he can grow an surprisingly cute beard on him. I normally don't like beards but he just has the sweetest face I have ever seen with or without it.

Other than being married with a child, I know absolutely nothing else of his personal life. Anyway, he may be straight, but he does look every inch a big fuckable bear.

RECOMMENDATIONS: Veep (TV Series) - shirtless Law & Order (TV Series) S15.E21 Publish and Perish (2005) - shirtless 1492: Conquest of Paradise (1992) - shirtless

It's almost done, just one night and it's Christmas Eve. But that also means that the calendar is coming to an end for us. That's why we're delving into the world of films today in the 23rd door and I have two beauties that we know from the Hornblower movies - HMS Retribution and HMS Hotspur

HMS Hotspur and behind HMS Restribution

Here is more about the two and who is actually behind them:

The Earl of Pembroke was built in 1945 in Pukavik, Sweden, under the name Orion and was used for timber transport in the Baltic Sea until 1974, when she was laid up in Thisted, Denmark. She was transferred to the United Kingdom in 1980, where her complete restoration began in 1985. As part of the restoration, the ship was converted from a schooner to a barque (to resemble the famous HMS Endeavour, on which Captain Cook discovered Australia) and renamed Earl of Pembroke. From then on she served in various films in different rigs, but is best known as HMS Hotspur. Unfortunately, she had no further use in recent years and was completely scrapped in 2022.

The smaller Restribution is actually the Phoenix of Dell Quay, a brigantine. She was built by Hjorne & Jakobsen at Frederikshavn, Denmark in 1929, originally as an Evangelical Mission Schooner. Twenty years later she retired from missionary work and carried cargo until her engine room was damaged by fire. In 1974 she was bought by new owners who converted her into a brigantine before being purchased by Square Sail in 1988. A first aid over-haul enabled her to sail back to the UK where she underwent a complete refit. During 1991 she was converted to the 15th century Caravel Santa Maria for Ridley Scott's film 1492: Conquest of Paradise. She has also worked in: In the Heart of the Sea, Poldark, Taboo, Hornblower and Frontier. At the moment she is for sale.

kind of funny how ridley scott always reacts the same way to people pointing out the significant historical inaccuracy in his historically inaccurate films. people didn’t like 1492 - conquest of paradise (1993), a film about how columbus was a very nice and cool man who loved indigenous americans and all the bad things were done by other people history forgot him etc etc, and this was his response:

Director Ridley Scott later blamed the movie's failure on Americans not understanding European accents: "They don't hear shit unless it's from Texas or America, right?"

[writerofweird]

I had a dream where I was at an academic lecture, complete with book, comparing these two episodes since they were both about a cartoon villain making a movie where they're the hero. That made me realise this was a pretty underrated trope given how many real-life villains have been made heroes by media. I mean, remember 1492 Conquest of Paradise? Cop shows?

SongFacts:

“Conquest of Paradise” is a song by the Greek composer Vangelis. It was the soundtrack to Ridley Scott's 1992 film 1492: Conquest of Paradise and the lead single from the album of the same name. The song was successful in many territories, including Flanders, Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland, where it topped the singles charts, but was a relative failure in the United Kingdom, where it only reached number 60. The song's popularity was increased in Germany by boxer Henry Maske using it as the theme song.
