Sunset

Tuesday, May 31st, 2011

Bruce Willis and James Garner are out to make a movie and solve a murder in Blake Edward’s SUNSET, the fictional adventures of two of America’s greatest real-life heroes.Willis (The Fifth Element, Die Hard) stars as Tom Mix – Hollywood’s hottest action-hero who’s been cast to play the legendary lawman Wyatt Earp. Trouble is, Earp (Garner, Twilight, Maverick) has been hired to work as a technical expert on the film – and this doesn’t sit too well with the big at-the-top-of-his-career movie star Mix. Even worse… Earp doesn’t take too well to movie moguls and the fancy studio life. So, Old West and New Hollywood collide and inadvertently become a vivid backdrop for one of the most shocking murder mysteries ever to scorch the silver screen. Come back to a lost time when movies were movies, murders were mayhem and heroes were just plain outrageous, in SUNSET… the action-packed adventure this side of Hollywood and Vine. It’s the truth, every word of it… give or take a lie or two! MPAA Rating: R © 1988 TriStar Pictures, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

One of our obligatory Marrakech tour stops was a traditional Moroccan/Berber pharmacy, in which we tourists got a chance to become acquainted with natural remedies via plants, flowers, seeds, roots, powders, creams… for high blood pressure, warts, wrinkles, blemishes…
The kid’s trusty camera helped me capture the wall furnishings, plus a nice message that is blurry yet sincere…

You can talk about the influence after Morocco gained their independence. They speak french in government settings and in most schools. There is european influence in clothing, and education systems. Hope that helped some. Bon chance!

What can I tell you about Mohammed. He was our Taxi driver from the calm coast of Taghazoute, through to the heavenly Atlas mountains. We stayed in Kasbah at the foot of the Atlas mountains near a Village called Imlil.

The journey was a long 7 hours, but thanks to Mohammed and his love for 80′s pop music it seemed to breeze by. We listend to the "Star Wars" and "Superman" theme music which was intermixed for our pleasure…..

To top it off we had one handed driving round perilous cliff edges while clicking his fingers, turning round, taking his eyes off the road, and asking with a smile on his face "Are you oright ?"

We were, we are…lovely man..

Question by Mohamed: Critiques? Critisisms? Comment?New Novella! PLEASE SHARE INPUT!!!!!!!!?
I am writing a novella about an experience I had that changed my life. Any criticisms, critiques, and compliments are welcome. I hope my heart and emotions comes through.
Thanks!
She was the epitome of sadness, her mouth curled slightly into a frown, her eyes looked down in shame, and her hands swirled around in her lap, her mind deep in thought. What had she witnessed, what had she seen, what had she experienced. She was a sad mystery I wanted to unravel and help. I wanted to reach out and give her a hug that would reassure her she would be fine, but I was too shy, and it would be improper.
Her story is what I want to share with you. It is the story of a mystery, I do not know her anymore, I talked little with her, and I knew little about her. Growing up in a shantytown on the outskirts of Casablanca in deplorable conditions is where I imagine she grew up. I am sure she had a TV. Or her community had a TV. For she told me about the previous season of Studio 2M a singing competition held in Morocco. She told me little about her life, but I knew well enough where she came from. I could see it from her eyes, even when she smiled there was something she was holding back. Every time you would offer her something a look of self-doubt about whether or not she should take it swept her frame and shook it.
She was ashamed, ashamed of cleaning up after, cooking for, and serving strangers. She felt demeaned serving us, wishing she could be the one sitting comfortably waiting for her tea and tray of cookies to choose which ones she would like to eat, instead of taking and eating the separate pot of tea, and second assortment of cookies in the kitchen, reserved for the maids.
The first time she walked into my grandmother’s apartment I didn’t understand what she was doing or who she was. I had just arrived myself; I was on vacation in Morocco for three weeks from America. I was going to enjoy the beauty of family and Morocco, and the delicacies that were to be served. I had a big ball of excitement just waiting to burst and have the time of my life. But then, I was distraught and confused, and angry.
Why would my grandmother hire an 11-year-old girl? Who would this girl’s mother let her work for strangers, what was she expecting in return? Who was this girl anyway? And, how long was she to stay?
And then I saw her and he mother. The suitcase neatly situated by the door. The mother and daughter seated closely together on the couch and my grandmother’s maid offering them tea. I saw the way she sat, she was nervous scared, and anxious. She felt ashamed, demeaned, and beneath everyone else in the room. She had no reason to feel this way. She was to work for my grandmother during the summer to make some money for books. She was working for books; she was going to use her money for her education and her mother was sad and felt defeated, and an unworthy mother having to let her daughter work for schoolbooks.
The tears she shed, the hug she clung to, and words she uttered were too precious to be that of a profiteer. She was a mother, who felt sad, and felt as if she was abandoning her child. I was confused about my grandmother’s decision to have the girl work instead of just giving her the money she needed for her books. And then I realized. This was Morocco. This was a country where old traditions and modern facts of life intermingled to form a complicated yet simple society. The old Morocco was blending with the new. Child labor was the old, and the guilt of seeing it happen was the new. After three weeks, or a couple days after my vacation ended and I came back home I got the news that she had decided to go back home, my grandmother gave her the money she was expecting to receive at the end of the summer, and wished her a happy summer. This is the story of the experience I shall never forget. Of three weeks in Morocco, and a few days of them spent learning lessons of a lifetime from an 11-year-old girl named Soukayna.
This is an introduction. I, the author, will not further directly address the audience, I felt it was necessary in this case to do so.

Best answer:

Answer by ~*Bl@ke*~
It’s not bad, I find it quite irritating when the author speaks directly to the reader… “her story is what I would like to share with you” or something like that. It exposes a great weakness on your part.

PANMUNJOM – With weapons at the ready, members of 194th Combat
Sustainment Support Battalion set out at dawn to conduct convoy
live-fire training here, March 25.

The fast-paced exercise exposed Soldiers to many of the real-world
perils found on today’s asymmetric battlefield, culminating in a series
of drills designed to hone their skills in reacting to road-side bombs
and enemy small-arms fire.

"These Soldiers have been training for the past six months to prepare
for this day and their hard work is evident in the outstanding
performance I’ve seen throughout the battalion," said Command Sgt. Maj.
Nichelle S. Fails.

At times gritty and intense, the Soldiers worked in teams to zero in on
enemy targets with their rifles and machine guns.

"This scenario is interesting and very realistic," said Pvt. Jiwoo Kim,
a KATUSA assigned to the battalion.

Pvt. Dylan Florres, a battalion mechanic and one of the day’s enemy
combatant role-players, sees the training as realistic and a good way to
build unit cohesion. "What we are doing is basically helping Soldiers
learn how to train safely and work as a team," he said.

"Everybody is highly motivated and ready to fight," said Chief Warrant
Officer 4 Joseph Williams, HHC, 194th Combat Support Sustainment
Battalion, safety officer. "Taking care of our Soldiers is very
important, we don’t want any injuries. That’s why we do risk assessments
and go over all of the details to make this a very safe, yet realistic,
training environment."

Master Sgt. Kenneth Ashley, the day’s pyrotechnics NCO, described the
training as important in building teamwork within the battalion. "Here
in Korea and in places like Iraq and Afghanistan, we need to make sure
our Soldiers know how to react under fire and to ensure they are
prepared for anything the enemy throws at them."
