Attraverso le esperienze più significative, i retroscena più curiosi, e gli "incontri che cambiano la vita", si definisce l'immagine di un ragazzo diventato uomo, e di un uomo capace di mettersi sempre in gioco per essere un vincente. In "Pokerface" Marco racconta - insieme al giornalista Alessandro Mamoli - la sua incredibile ascesa nell'Olimpo del basket svelando la passione che si nasconde dietro la freddezza del campione: dai primi canestri nella Virtus e nella Fortitudo, fino alla scommessa del draft NBA nel 2007, per arrivare al suo primo Anello con i San Antonio Spurs, quando ha dimostrato all'Italia e al mondo intero di non essere un bluff. ![]() Cosa si prova a diventare il primo giocatore italiano della storia a vincere il titolo NBA?

Poker Face is the second film directed by actor Russell Crowe (Gladiator, Unhinged), his first being 2014’s The Water Diviner. ![]()

![]() ![]() This is the premise of book two of The Saxon Stories series by Bernard Cornwell, “The Pale Horseman.”Ĭornwell begins this book where we left off in “The Last Kingdom” after the battle of Cynuit and the death of Ubba by Uhtred. When Alfred and his family become fugitives, he must rely on Uhtred to help restore him and his family to ensure Wessex does not fall. A man like Uhtred of Bebbanburg is a skilled warrior even though he doesn’t always see eye to eye with Alfred on matters of faith. ![]() Yet this king is more of a saint than a warrior, so Alfred desperately needs a man who knows how to fight. The kingdoms of East Anglia, Northumbria, and Mercia have already fallen all that stands in the way of complete Danish domination is Wessex and its king Alfred. England is in danger of falling to its Danish invaders. ![]() ![]() New to this list: Minority Report, Ever After: A Cinderella Story, Corpse Bride, Heat, Mid90s, Arrival, Empire of the Sun, A Walk to Remember, Crawl, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, The Good the Bad and the Ugly, WarGames, Planet of the Apes, The Illusionist, The Grandmaster, The Dark Crystal, L.A.

During the construction of the house, a powerful attraction developed between Mamah and Frank, and in time the lovers, each married with children, embarked on a course that would shock Chicago society and forever change their lives. Four years earlier, in 1903, Mamah and her husband, Edwin, had commissioned the renowned architect to design a new home for them. So writes Mamah Borthwick Cheney in her diary as she struggles to justify her clandestine love affair with Frank Lloyd Wright. I have been standing on the side of life, watching it float by. ![]() ![]() ![]() I'd never have described Segel as limited in his acting range, but whether by his choice or Hollywood's perception of him, Segel's CV was dominated by one particular type of performance. He's always come across as too large in stature, too modern in tone to be invited to do period films or biopics or really any kind of project skewed towards the dramatic. Whether playing the romantically scorned Nick in “Freaks and Geeks” (or Peter in “Forgetting Sarah Marshall”), the psychotically romantically scorned Eric on “Undeclared,” the romantic but, in a key arc, grieving Marshall on “How I Met Your Mother,” Segel has always been able to infuse his clowns with a grounding of real pain or disappointment or passion.īut thinking back over Segel's resume, it was hard to point to any role that indicated Segel might be a chameleon. PARK CITY – It would be wrong to pigeonhole Jason Segel as simply a comedic actor. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Tragically of the 20 men in his squadron, Roald Dahl was one of only three to survive. But being nearly two metres tall he found himself squashed into his fighter plane, knees around his ears and head jutting forward. With the outbreak of the Second World War Roald Dahl joined the RAF. In Africa he learnt to speak Swahili, drove from diamond mines to gold mines, and survived a bout of malaria where his temperature reached 105.5 degrees (that's very high!). He seems incapable of marshalling his thoughts on paper!' After finishing school Roald Dahl, in search of adventure, travelled to East Africa to work for a company called Shell. When he was at school Roald Dahl received terrible reports for his writing - with one teacher actually writing in his report, 'I have never met a boy who so persistently writes the exact opposite of what he means. ![]() ![]() ![]() Michel Foucault was a French philosopher, social theorist and historian of ideas. Lucidly reasoned and deftly marshaling a vast body of research, Discipline and Punish is a genuinely revolutionary book, whose implications extend beyond the prison to the minute power relations of our society. For as he examines innovations that range from the abolition of torture to the institution of forced labor and the appearance of the modern penitentiary, Michel Foucault suggests that punishment has shifted its focus from the prisoner's body to the soul - and that our very concern with rehabilitation encourages and refines criminal activity. This groundbreaking book by the most influential philosopher since Sartre compels us to reevaluate our assumptions about all the ensuing reforms in the penal institutions of the West.
