Sometimes one dream is enough to light up the whole sky.
Based On An Extraordinary True Story
In 1950’s mining town called Coalwood, Homer Hickam is a kid with only
one future in sight, to work in the local coalmine like his father.
However in October 1957, everything changes when the first artificial
satellite, Sputnik goes into orbit. With that event, Homer becomes
inspired to learn how to build rockets. With his friends and the local
nerd, Homer sets to do just that by trial and a lot of error.
Unfortunately, most of the town and especially Homer’s father thinks
that they are wasting their time. Only one teacher in the high school
understands their efforts and lets them know that they could become
contenders in the national science fair with college scholarships being
the prize. Now the gang must learn to perfect their craft and overcome
the many problems facing them as they shoot for the stars.
Based on fact, this is the story of a teenager named Homer Hickam,
growing up in a coal town in West Virginia where a boy’s usual destiny
was to “end up in the mines.” But Homer had his eye on the sky and a
love for flying rockets… to the dismay of his mine-foreman father,
and the consternation of the townsfolk generally. A misfit for sure, he
and three of his equally outcast buddies begin making rockets, which
they fly from a patch of barren land eight miles out of town… so as
to no longer terrorize the community with their oft-times errant
rockets. However, the people become intrigued and soon start coming out
in droves to watch the ‘Rocketboys’ send off their homemade missiles,
and with the enthusiastic support of Miss Riley, their teacher, plus a
signed picture from Wernher von Braun in response to a question Homer
had written him, they finally are entered in the National Science
Awards competition. But none of this was all that easy, especially for
Homer, as problems much more dire than flying rockets seemed to push
the young man toward maturity, as well as to his eventual destiny… as
an instructor of our shuttle mission astronauts.

Curse of The Golden Flower 2006 (English)
CURSE OF THE GOLDEN FLOWER (2006)[eng]
aka
Man cheng jin dai huang jin jia
Unspeakable secrets are hidden within the Forbidden City.
Father knows best.
China,
Later Tang Dynasty, 10th Century. On the eve of the Chong Yang
Festival, golden flowers fill the Imperial Palace. The Emperor (Chow
Yun Fat) returns unexpectedly with his second son, Prince Jai (Jay
Chou). His pretext is to celebrate the holiday with his family, but
given the chilled relations between the Emperor and the ailing Empress
(Gong Li), this seems disingenuous. For many years, the Empress and
Crown Prince Wan (Liu Ye), her stepson, have had an illicit liaison.
Feeling trapped, Prince Wan dreams of escaping the palace with his
secret love Chan (Li Man), the Imperial Doctor’s daughter. Meanwhile,
Prince Jai, the faithful son, grows worried over the Empress’s health
and her obsession with golden chrysanthemums. Could she be headed down
an ominous path? The Emperor harbors equally clandestine plans; the
Imperial Doctor (Ni Dahong) is the only one privy to his machinations.
When the Emperor senses a looming threat, he relocates the doctor’s
family from the Palace to a remote area. While they are en route,
mysterious assassins attack them. Chan and her mother, Jiang Shi (Chen
Jin) are forced back to the palace. Their return sets off a tumultuous
sequence of dark surprises. Amid the glamour and grandeur of the
festival, ugly secrets are revealed. As the Imperial Family continues
its elaborate charade in a palatial setting, thousands of golden
armored warriors charge the palace. Who is behind this brutal
rebellion? Where do Prince Jai’s loyalties lie? Between love and
desire, is there a final winner? Against a moonlit night, thousands of
chrysanthemum blossoms are trampled as blood spills across the Imperial
Palace.

Disaster has a passport
One of these two has a brain the size of a peanut
France doesn’t stand a chance
Disaster is a small step away
Plot
Mr.
Bean enters a church raffle and wins a vacation trip to France as well
as a camcorder. After boarding a Eurostar train and arriving in Paris,
the French language proves a barrier for Bean, as he struggles to get
across the city to catch a train to the south of France from the Gare
de Lyon. Taking time to order a meal, he finds the consumption of a
seafood platter to be a challenge. Just before catching his train, he
asks Emil, a Russian film director on his way to be a judge at the
Cannes Film festival to use his camcorder to record his boarding, but
accidentally causes Emil being left behind at the station. Bean
attempts to cheer up the director’s son Stepan as the train continues
south but matters are made more hectic by the fact that Emil has
reported his son to have been kidnapped and Bean losing his wallet and
essential travel documents at a pay phone where he and Stepan attempt
to contact Emil. Heading in the direction of Cannes, Bean finds himself
in the cast and disrupting the flow of a commercial being shot by the
egotistical director Carson Clay. He and Stepan finally hitch a ride
with the young and vivacious actress Sabine who is heading to Cannnes
to attend the premiere of Clay’s film, in which she appears. After Bean
sneaks into the showing, his camcorder images are destined to enliven
the proceedings.
