from the first lullaby sung to us as newborn babies , music provides the “soundtrack” of our lives . so much so that i think many of us take it for granted - - just as we do the soundtrack of a film , which we often hear without listening to it . that is , we enjoy the film without realizing how much the music conditions our reaction .

either way is quiet , simple and subtle but just in the right amount to not create boredom thanks to the character - driven plot . the film stands and falls with its lead actors . sveinn ólafur gunnarsson and hilmar guðjónsson deliver fantastic performances and make for an endearing and convincing odd couple . what the movie lacks in action , it has in human interaction .
when writing the script to á annan veg , hafsteinn gunnar sigurðsson and co - writer \ actor sveinn ólafur gunnarsson had a low budget in mind , so there aren’t really any special effects or huge set pieces and props , it’s all about the human relationships and the characters .
kofi annan made himself available to our cameras because i think he wanted people to come to understand what it is that a secretary - general does , and how the un works , and he recognized that television has the power to reach out to millions of people and show them .

in his role as secretary - general , kofi annan represents the highest ideals of the world community . the un charter is quite specific about the un ' s mandate :
to save future generations from the scourge of war ; to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights ;
to promote social progress and better standards of living .
high ideals certainly point the way ( our own declaration of independence is an example ) , but i wanted to know how , in a real world of power politics , nuclear weapons , and terrorism , kofi annan leads the un in going about living up to them .
rangan gets his sister married to a rich man . but , she is ousted from the house with the accusation that rangan ' s father had killed the groom ' s father . rangan sets out to clear his father ' s name . watch the full movie , en annan online , only on eros now .
probably the real challenge in making a film like this was staying close to the secretary - general . one trick was to hang on to his security guards , who were terrific guys and extremely helpful . his staff was also helpful , but often he ' d be meeting with leaders from other countries who had no idea who we were , and there was no time to explain . many times we ' d be shut out of meetings , and we ' d have to find out later what had happened .

i want viewers to see what makes kofi annan ' s job so difficult . although the secretary - general represents the world ' s ideals , he doesn ' t have an army or very much money . the un budget is smaller than the budget of new york city . the only power the secretary - general has comes from his ability to persuade and the integrity of his office .

the music on the soundtrack comprises 16 new marsalis compositions and seven interpretations of material composed by w . c . handy , jelly roll morton ( three tracks were drawn from marsalis ' s 1999 release standard time , volume 6 : mr . jelly lord , a tribute to the music of morton ) , and others . conjuring up the early 1900s jazz that was current to johnson ' s life , the score provides the perfect backdrop to burns ' s film , capturing all the dramatic tension inherent in johnson ' s story , from the joy of ultimate triumph to the sadness of inescapable oppression .
marsalis has compiled a remarkable track record as a trumpeter , bandleader and composer . he has become the most recognized jazz artist in the world today . he serves as artistic director of the prestigious jazz at lincoln center , which celebrated the opening of its own dedicated facility in the fall of 2004 , and is renowned as a jazz stateseman  a role officially recognized in 2001 when united nations secretary general kofi annan proclaimed him an international ambassador of goodwill and appointed him a u . n . messenger of peace . marsalis has won nine grammy awards and is the first jazz musician ever to be honored with the prestigious pulitzer prize in music ( for his epic 1997 recording blood on the fields ) . he has produced 34 jazz and 11 classical records and sold more than seven million records worldwide .

i think i was pretty tensed - up about our arrival in afghanistan . i had no idea what to expect , and when we got off the un plane , the crush of reporters and cameramen pushing and shoving was a little frightening . but then to feel the excitement on the streets of afghanistan was exhilarating . the war was over , the taliban were gone , a new government was in place , girls were going back to school - - it felt , as the author william shawcross put it to me in an interview - - like
kabul spring .
it became very clear to me that the un was built on a paradox : on the one hand , it stands for universal principles - - the right to self - determination , the right to be free from torture and abuse , even the
right to development
- - but it is made up of member countries , each of whom considers its own sovereignty inviolable . the un is torn between moral imperatives and political realities .

lakeith stanfield and his sorry to bother you director boots riley discuss the stress of filming sex scenes .
the movie , produced by flickbook films and mystery island , is the impressive debut feature of icelandic director hafsteinn gunnar sigurðsson .
about the plot : set some time in the 1980s , two men working for the icelandic road administration spend a summer together painting the markings on a remote highway somewhere in the countryside .
finnbogi ( played by co - writer sveinn ólafur gunnarsson ) and alfreð ( hilmar guðjónsson ) aren’t much alike . finnbogi is a diligent , serious and quiet man with a strong sense of responsibility who is in a faithful long - distance relationship with a woman called rannveig with whom he frequently exchanges letters . as a favor to his girlfriend , he works with her younger brother , alfreð , a bubbly and talkative young lad who’s only interests are parties and to get laid . confined to the remote and isolated countryside with nobody else around but themselves , the two personalities clash .
alfreð and finnbogi barely tolerate each other at first , but ultimately share their deepest questions and possible answers about life and love . this results in hilarious and heart - warming moments such as the wheel - barrow race , finnbogi’s heartbreak over an unfortunate letter and alfreð ' s attempt to masturbate in their small tent . watching finnbogi and alfreð’s relationship unfold is touching and most entertaining .
worth mentioning is also árni filippusson’s excellent cinematography which is sumptuous and often speaks louder than words and perfectly captures the majestic icelandic landscape .

dear colleagues and friends , i am delighted to welcome you to another lecture in this series . today , our subject is music .
“what’s that got to do with the un ? ” you may be asking . my answer is that music has to do with everything .
music penetrates almost every part of our lives : our rest , our entertainment , our education , and our worship .
throughout history , it has celebrated the triumphs and tragedies of life . as plato said , music “gives soul to the universe , wings to the mind , flight to the imagination” .
music both shapes and reflects society . dancers follow its beat ; protesters use it to find their voice . it can promote ideals - - like peace and solidarity - - but it can also prepare armies for battle . it is part of almost every important personal and collective moment .
but it is also mysterious . rhythm and pitch can be expressed as mathematical formulae ; and musicians know the techniques by which they produce a certain sound . but no scientist or musician can explain the power that music has over our emotions . that , surely , is what another greek writer had in mind , who said that song is a divine gift from god .
in a world of diversity where often values clash , music leaps across language barriers and unites people of quite different cultural backgrounds . and so , through music , all peoples can come together to make the world a more harmonious place .
you see , i am getting carried away i’d better stop - - i’m not the one who’s here to give the lecture . but luckily for you , you don’t have to listen to me giving the lecture ; that is not my plan . we have someone much better , much better qualified here with us to give that lecture - - professor leon botstein , who is president of bard college and music director and principal conductor of the american symphony orchestra .
the latest report issued by the food and agriculture organization warns today that time is running out for the world’s forests , whose total area is shrinking every day . forests provide around 20 per cent of income for rural households in developing countries and fuel for cooking and heating for 1 in every 3 people around the world .

the grammy award and pulitzer prize - winning trumpeter wynton marsalis has lent his superb compositional and performing talents to the creation of the original score for unforgivable blackness : the rise and fall of jack johnson . the companion soundtrack recording , on the blue note records label , is available from shoppbs .
marsalis and ken burns last worked together on burns ' s 2000 pbs documentary jazz , a 10 - part series that explored the history of jazz music , on which marsalis was senior creative consultant .
the musicians on the recording include many of marsalis ' s longtime bandmates and collaborators such as saxophonists wessell anderson and sherman irby , clarinetist victor goines , trombonists wycliffe gordon and delfeayo marsalis ( delfeayo also produced the sessions ) , pianist eric lewis , guitarist doug wamble , bassists regineald veal and rodney whitaker , and drummer herlin riley .
in 2004 , after a 20 - year association with columbia records , marsalis released his debut for legendary jazz label blue note records , the magic hour , to rave reviews . the cd , which found marsalis returning to an intimate quartet setting , was described in usa today as
upbeat , often playful and always swinging
and in the new york times as
a record of pared - down themes , rhythmic play , and open space ; it almost floats with a sense of casual , mischievous intelligence .

teenage mutant ninja turtles vs . x - men - mugen fighting game ! - youtube
there is literally an entire second most populous country in the world w an industry of men who dance and sing . # aladdin urltoken
here ' s a list of thirteen fighting games i ' d like to see make a modern - day comeback .
in the early days , fatal fury was one of snk ' s answers to street fighter ' s popularity and , much like art of fighting , it fell into the background once king of fighters hit the scene . they still made fatal fury games , but they never felt big enough to unseat king of fighters as snk ' s flagship fighting series . at first glance , it made sense that they simply stopped making the games .
then i get to thinking about the fighting games that haven ' t been so lucky . the ones that have fallen into the sands of time . when ' s the last time we got an art of fighting game ? aren ' t we due for a wu - tang shaolin style sequel about now ? do you think somebody could make a tattoo assassins game that isn ' t garbage just for the challenge of it ? there are so many possibilities .
okay , snk , what the hell ? ! how did something as brilliant as king of the monsters fall into obscurity so quick ? ! the game was about giant monsters ( blatant copies of godzilla , king kong , and ultraman ) fighting through giant cities . that would be cool on its own , only their fighting takes the form of a giant hardcore professional wrestling match where you can use buildings as weapons ! the cities have electric borders to box them in , acting like ring ropes . the creatures perform suplexes and bodyslams . you have to actually pin your opponent .
the fighting game genre has never been more popular , with modern takes on many of the big names from yesteryear . we ' re constantly graced with new installments of street fighter , mortal kombat , tekken , king of fighters , smash bros , killer instinct , marvel vs . capcom , guilty gear , and so on .
when an idea like street fighter ii hits it big , you ' re going to get something like fighting masters . its heart was in the right place and it had some cool ideas ( and especially cool soundtrack ) , but couldn ' t pull off a lasting impression . it takes place in a galaxy where the sun is about to go nova and a race of hyper - competent aliens stop by to say that they can save only one planet . so . . . fighting tournament among the best of each planet because these aliens have a strange sense of perspective . that means we get a couple humans and a lot of ridiculous alien designs , including a boxing horse man .
its ninja turtles vs . the classic x - men cast in a this free to play mugen game . there ' s 2 variations of each of the classic turtles , and you can also play as a number of assorted characters from the original tmnt cast , including shredder , casey jones , robo foot soldier , and others . master splinter was left out unfortunately . it would ' ve been great to see him in this game . this game is free to play : urltoken
all right , all right , all right . before you jump down to the comments to flame me , let me explain . everything involved with street fighter : the movie is laughable , including the fact that they made a mediocre fighting game based on a movie based on a legendary fighting game . but here ' s the thing . recently , dc comics released a series called batman ' 66 that expands the world of the old adam west show to not only show new adventures , but show what characters like killer croc and harley quinn would be like had they appeared on that old show . there ' s also a webcomic sequel to the terrible super mario bros . movie from twenty years ago that retells super mario bros . 2 in the first movie ' s setting .
if you ' re a fighting game fan who owned a nintendo 64 but not a playstation , then there ' s a 95 % chance you ' ve played mace : the dark age . developed by atari , the fighter played like the soul edge games with a mortal kombat atmosphere . the story was incredibly similar to soul edge in that it was also about medieval warriors fighting over an evil weapon of ultimate power , only it was definitely more metal . even when you remove the fatalities ( called
executions
here ) , you had an executioner , a knight from the bowels of hell , a zombie crusader , a dwarf riding a steam - powered mech , and an impressive - looking demon boss who was so massive that only his top half appears out of a portal in the ground .
the game is like the pete best of early fighting games , but maybe it ' s about time we gave these blade - swinging time - travelers a second chance . after all , rancid from the year 2024 is a chainsaw - wielding punk with sunglasses , earrings , an x carved into his forehead , and a green mohawk mullet with ponytail . that ' s the most overkill design ever and deserves a trophy .
time killers was one of the earlier fighting games exist thanks to street fighter ii ' s success . it went the mortal kombat route of playing up the gore factor . while mortal kombat only used gore for stylistic reasons and shock value , at least the blood in time killers affected gameplay . not only could you get your arms chopped off mid - fight and continue the battle with a handicap , but decapitations could happen at any time , immediately ending the match .
the clayfighter games were never very good , but i enjoyed them for the cartoony nonsense . the character designs were pretty great , outside of the cast of clayfighter 2 : judgment clay and the racist caricatures in clayfighter 63 1 / 3 . on paper , the concept of the game has tons of promise . it ' s a parody of fighting game tropes featuring a man made of taffy , an elvis impersonator , santa claus as a sumo wrestler , a mopey clown , and a pumpkin - headed ghost .
there were only two installments of last blade ? ! really ? ! like , i realize the three games i ' ve already mentioned are sub - par at best ( and time killers at worst ) , but last blade was so good . after years of doing samurai shodown sequels , snk let loose with a different kind of sword - slashing historical japanese fighting game that had a more impressive look than shodown and simply felt grander . it played great , it looked great , and was only held back by some vanilla character designs .
to be fair , the first game in the series is savage reign , but that ' s a pretty forgettable one - on - one fighter that isn ' t really worth revisiting . it didn ' t really kick in until the sequel , kizuna encounter : super tag battle , snk ' s first attempt at a tag team game . in fact , it came out just weeks after capcom ' s popular x - men vs . street fighter , one of the many reasons it ' s fallen into the sands of time . despite that , it felt different than capcom ' s tag fighters . the characters felt bigger and more grounded . it felt more like a 2d version of tekken tag in a way . the game was super fun .
though the war between the states has officially ended , a group of confederate soldiers continues to fight for their own cause , laying siege to a small group of union soldiers holed up in a farmhouse who are guarding a substantial amount of gold coins for a federal agent . the presence of all that gold seems to affect all of them in interesting ways . the farm owner is a union army vet who converted to pacifism after experiencing the war , while his wife is trying to attract the union commander who is trying to protect the gold from both his men and the confederates , who include some strange characters , one of which is ted knight . the film is more drama than action which is perhaps because the action scenes are not too great , but the drama is barely passable enough to at least kind of keep one watching .
though the war between the states has officially ended , a group of confederate soldiers continues to fight for their own cause , laying siege to a small group of union soldiers holed up in a farmhouse who are guarding a substantial amount of gold coins for a federal agent . the story comes off okay in this noticeably low - budget effort thanks to all the personalities this film features . the presence of all that gold seems to affect all of them in interesting ways . the farm owner is a union army vet who converted to pacifism after experiencing the war , while his wife is trying to attract the union commander who is trying to protect the gold from both his men and the confederates , who include some strange characters , one of which is ted knight . the film is more drama than action which is perhaps because the action scenes are not too great , but the drama is barely passable enough to at least kind of keep one watching .
it ' s hard to accept that darkstalkers has fallen to the wayside as much as it has . while it was never going to be as big as street fighter , it did feel popular enough to be a staple in capcom ' s library . then again , look at everything that ' s happened with mega man . . . anyway , darkstalkers was a brilliant fighting game with monsters , and it was cartoony as all get - out . there were follow - ups and while they did change up the gameplay here and there , they were still using the same sprites again and again , making the games look less like sequels and more like upgrades . it didn ' t help that lead heroine morrigan showed up in a bunch of crossover fighters ( ie . marvel vs . capcom and capcom vs . snk ) and they chose never to update her graphics at all , making her stick out like a sore thumb .

too bad the gameplay was undercooked . rather than feeling very street fighter , it came off as more of a series of double dragon boss fights . that ' s unfortunate , as they almost seemed to have something .
the series pretty much died when clayfighter 63 1 / 3 got delayed into oblivion and finally came out as a crap game that felt unfinished because it totally was . a somewhat more polished version called clayfighter : sculptor ' s cut came out as a blockbuster exclusive rental , but that didn ' t exactly set the world on fire . it was going to be updated for the wiiware a few years ago , but that fell through .
just get some cgi that looks clay - like and we don ' t have to worry about all that choppy animation that plagued the old games . i ' m just saying , i need my bad mr . frosty fix . it ' s been too long .
it also had a giant chicken as a hidden character , which somehow led to it having a hidden character appearance in gauntlet legends . go figure .
the game never really caught on , which is a shame , since it had a good foundation for a sequel to build on . i ' m kind of tired of soulcalibur feeling like more of the same every time , so maybe it ' s time we give mordos kull another chance .
the character hibiki got to show up in capcom vs . snk 2 , but that ' s not enough . it ' s been 16 years since the last game . why aren ' t we being overwhelmed by last blade sequels ?
there have been other giant monster fighters like primal rage , the godzilla games , and war of the monsters ( which is the closest thing we ' ve ever had to a king of the monsters reboot , even if it ' s made by a different company ) , the very concept of giant monsters wrestling is a very deep well to take from . there ' s a reason why kaiju big battel has lasted so long . actually , while we ' re at it , can we get kaiju big battel its own video game ? i ' d be good with that , too .
strangely , snk did make a sequel to king of the monsters shortly after , but the game was a side - scrolling beat ' em up instead . it just wasn ' t the same , man .
the street fighter : the movie ports had that going on too , to a lesser extent . not only did they introduce the live - action akuma into the story , but they claimed that gunloc from saturday night slam masters was secretly undercover as m . bison ' s henchman , blade . also , he was guile ' s brother . that ' s completely bonkers and i kind of want more . bring back that goofball universe for another go . i want to see what gill would be like . how off - base could they make dudley ? or even rufus ? holy hell , the possibilities are endless .
eternal champions is next to killer instinct in terms of games that were kind of a huge deal for a short burst after they came out , but then vanished for years , never to be heard from again . ergo , if killer instinct can make a comeback , where ' s eternal champions ? the game had a pretty kickass story where the eternal champion picked victims from across history who would have been great forces for good had they not been tragically killed . in order to help bring balance to the timeline , one of them would get the right to relive their final moments and change the course of history . how would that be decided ? a horrible bloodsport tournament . naturally .
the game had a sequel in challenge from the dark side and two completely unplayable spinoffs ( chicago syndicate starring larcen tyler and x - perts starring shadow yamato ) . they were going to have a final game to bring the story to an end , but sega decided to axe it because they felt it hindered virtua fighter ' s popularity . god forbid two completely different games exist under the same company .
also neat was that it took place in the same timeline as the fatal fury games , only about a hundred or so years into the future ( featuring an old man wearing terry bogard ' s discarded hat and kim kaphwan ' s descendant ) . i love the designs because instead of making everything all futuristic , characters are mostly just either dystopian or extra gaudy . it gives us supervillain king lion , who has the triple threat of body armor , boxing gloves , and a giant sword . we ' re supposed to take him seriously . why not ? it ' s the future ! maybe in the future looking like a cross between dr . doom and strong bad is considered threatening . the guy showed up again in neo geo battle coliseum , but nobody played that either .
capcom ' s bigwig yoshinori ono has wanted a new darkstalkers game for forever , but decided that it could only happen if people purchased darkstalkers resurrection , the hd re - release of the previous darkstalkers games . i hated that . but hey , good to see that capcom was still trying to get as much play out of those 20 - year - old sprites as they could .
man . power stone . what happened ? second to smash bros . , power stone was such a fun party game fighter , based purely on running around the environment and beating your opponent with anything and everything you could get your hands on . this was especially chaotic in the sequel - - it was four players and the stages were increasingly ridiculous and elaborate . while on the surface , the characters mostly played the same outside of speed and strength , the real fun was being the first to grab three power stones and go full ham in your unstoppable , overly - cheap , super - powered identity . that ' s where the real variety came in . good times .
while the second game was a nice step up , it got a little too repetitive and could have used more stages and outlandish ways of hurting your enemies . save up all those ideas for a third installment – maybe even toss in some iconic capcom characters for flavor – and you could have an instant classic .
except . their last game was garou : mark of the wolves , a practically new fighter that took place ten years later . only one character ( terry bogard ) returned and his look was completely changed . the animation and play style were updated .
so of course nothing ever happened to follow up on it . several characters – especially main hero rock howard – got to show up in some other games , including a mark of the wolves - based trio in king of fighters xi , but the most we ever got was talk years ago that they were totally in the middle of making the sequel . unfortunately , there hasn ' t been word on it since 2008 . lame .
a handful of capcom games are part of the same continuity , which is kind of cool . sakura from street fighter pops up in rival schools , while major cast members of final fight show up in street fighter alpha .
at one point , someone figured ,
hey , we ' ve established that mike haggar from final fight used to be a wrestler . why don ' t we do a wrestling game with him in it ?
and so we got saturday night slam masters .
the game was a total blast . a game where characters could do over - the - top moves a la street fighter , but in the context of a wrestling match with wrestling rules . for instance , king rasta mon ( a hybrid of blanka and bruiser brody ) would grab you , jump straight up about 15 feet while backflipping a dozen times , then throw you straight down to the mat . much of the cast was really capcom recreations of classic wrestlers like big van vader , tinieblas , and the great muta .
they did make a sequel called ring of destruction , but they changed the gameplay so that it was more of a street fighter clone with pinning . it got rid of one of the most entertaining parts of the game where you could do tag team tornado matches and the whole thing just felt a lot less special .
i ' d love to see slam masters brought back in some form . considering the shared universe , they could even toss in the likes of zangief , hugo , poison , el fuerte , and just about anyone else who would fit in a wrestling ring .
what other fighters would you like to see dug up and brought back ? sound off in the comments .

disney is reportedly struggling to find actors to fill the roles of aladdin and jasmine in the live - action remake of the animated classic , according to the hollywood reporter , demonstrating once again that the film industry has a serious problem when it comes to hiring people of color in leading roles .
the studio , which started the casting search in march , has reportedly seen over 2 , 000 actors in london , abu dhabi , india and egypt . but the hollywood reporter says disney hasn’t been able to find young actors with backgrounds in singing .
disney : guy ritchie is perfect to direct aladdin . guy ritchie : idk how to find a middle - eastern man who can sing . urltoken
list the white actors who ' ve been cast in musicals despite zero dance or singing abilities . go !
“aladdin” is based on “one thousand and one nights . ” the collection of stories is more commonly called “arabian nights , ” but history shows that these stories actually take place in central asia ( most likely modern - day china ) . disney’s representation of the story takes place in fictional “agrabah , ” which mixes the cultures of multiple regions .
most members of the “aladdin” cast are expected to be relative newcomers ― except for will smith , who will reportedly be playing genie . the hollywood reporter says disney was interested in possibly casting british pakistani actor riz ahmed , or dev patel , who is british of indian descent , but it’s unclear how far those conversations went .
in all seriousness . this is what it ' s come to . they ' re having trouble filling the role of aladdin if dev patel or riz ahmed don ' t take it . urltoken
but people on twitter were quick to offer their own suggestion of actors ― aside from ahmed and patel ― who might be able to take on the roles of aladdin , jasmine and jafar .
two of twitter users’ most popular picks included former “victorious” star avan jogia and bollywood icon hrithik roshan . and youtube sensation lily singh was an almost unanimous choice for the role of jasmine .
i mean you could cast @ avanjogia or you could just ignore the fact that they look exactly the same . . . urltoken
. . . and yes i said lilly singh as jasmine . just look at her - beautiful , charismatic and funny af . urltoken
in a study of over 400 films and television series , the university of southern california found that over half didn’t feature asian speaking characters . usc’s annenberg school found that in 2014 , only 5 percent of characters in film were asian , while nearly 75 percent of characters were white .
twitter users highlighted the scores of actors who would fit aladdin’s needs . they even suggested oded fehr for the role of jafar . fehr , who is best known for his roles on “the mummy” and television series “covert affairs , ” has already played jafar on abc’s “once upon a time . ”
there are plenty of amazing mena & south asian actors . i have a list . give me a call guy urltoken
hopefully , disney will follow twitter’s lead and continue its effort to be a tad more accurate than the rest of hollywood in its casting choices .
