New York


New York Stock Exchange and Wilks Building, 1921 by Irving Underhill.

First Lines: Billie Letts - Where the Heart Is


(ph: Mike Kurtz)


Novalee Nation, seventeen, seven months pregnant, thirty-seven pounds overweight - and superstitious about sevens - shifted uncomfortably in the seat of the old Plymouth and ran her hands down the curve of her belly.

The Seven Year Itch (1955)


When his family goes away for the summer, a so far faithful husband is tempted by a beautiful neighbor.

Slow-paced, but mildly entertaining sex comedy.

Gojira ni-sen mireniamu (1999)


Godzilla saves Tokyo from a flying saucer that transforms into the beast Orga.

Godzilla comeback with style.

Gamera 2: Region shurai (1996)


A meteor shower carries hostile insectoid creatures to Japan, where they rapidly reproduce.

And in best Gaiju tradition Gamera saves the world with a lot of collateral damage.
