Loosely based on a Los Angeles Times Magazine story by J.R. Moehringer, Resurrecting the Champ is a heartfelt, thematically ambitious drama that attempts to work on several levels, and mostly pulls it off. On one level it's the story of a sloppy journalist named Erik Kernan (Josh Hartnett) who learns a painful lesson in humility when he's forced to confront his own shortcomings as a father and a sportswriter. On another level it's a richly human tale of redemption between the flawed reporter who's desperate to match his late father's professional reputation, and a former boxing champion (Samuel L. Jackson) who's now a homeless drifter on the streets of Denver, Colorado. When Kernan seizes on "The Champ" as the kind of personal, humanitarian story that could give him a much-needed career boost, he falls into the trap of his own ambition, making a professional mistake that threatens to ruin his career forever. While attempting to impress his 6-year-old son (Dakota Goyo) and win back the respect of his estranged wife (Kathryn Morris, from TV's Cold Case), Kernan is groomed for celebrity by a sexy Showtime executive (Teri Hatcher), but must ultimately get his values and priorities in order. Resurrecting the Champ emerges as a surprisingly thought-provoking study of professional and personal ethics, with some equally compelling observations about the modern state of journalism-as-show-business. Directed with a delicately sentimental touch by former film critic Rod Lurie (The Contender, The Last Castle), Resurrecting the Champ lacks the sharp focus that could've made it a modest classic, but it's a welcome relief from the mindless mayhem of big-studio blockbusters. Lurie's careful handling of the material is blessed by excellent performances by Hartnett and Jackson, with stellar support from Morris, Alan Alda, David Paymer, and especially Peter Coyote, almost unrecognizable under old-age makeup as a veteran boxing reporter who sets Hartnett's character on the road to redemption. --Jeff Shannon |

Audio and videophiles rejoice! The widely anticipated, THX-Ultra certified DV-S939 is here. It's a masterful player that blends the ultra-high frequency response of DVD-Audio with the video precision of progressive-scan - to take your audio/visual senses to new heights and forever change the way you experience music and movies. Comprehensively designed to perform flawlessly now and well into the future, the DV-S939 is fitted with high-end 192 kHz/24-bit DACs to faithfully reproduce 192-kHz 2-channel stereo, or loss-free 96-kHz 5.1-channel surround sound. There's an RS-232 port for easy upgrades and full home-automation control. An IEEE 1394 slot allows you to upgrade to convenient, universal, high-speed, digital connection capability. The DB-25 port gives you single-cable multichannel hook-up to receivers like the TX-DS989. Plus the 6-channel RCA output, two gold-plated component outputs, and four digital outputs give you total connection flexibility. Equally impressive is the DV-S939's build quality. Two oversized transformers keep the power supply separate for the digital and analog sections. Heavy-duty mechanical tray door and disc trays reduce vibration and provide greater signal purity. And large high-grade capacitors deliver ample power reserves. |

Carlo and Corrado Assenza are brothers. With love and passion, they run the Caffè Sicilia, located near the fantastic but unlucky (it collapsed in 1996 due to an earhtquake) Cathedral of Noto, the Sicilian capital of baroque architecture.
Their sweets cannot be described. In the already rich panorama of quality Sicilian confectionery production, they have managed to create a unique philosophy that finds a clear expression in each of their products: preserves, jams, and torrone (nougat). It's a simple philosophy, easy to say, but hard to be confined in a glass jar or a pretty box. It's the philosophy of absolute naturalness. And in a land where nature wears sumptuous robes, naturalness is anything but dull minimalism, it's sunny and fragrant.
From citrus marmalades to preserves, torrone, almond paste (you can make a fabulous "almond milk" with it!) and pistachio paste, Caffe Sicilia's fruit is handled in a way that lets it express its soft and seductive fragrance. It is wonderful to experience and taste how Carlo and Corrado manage to maintain this recognizable trademark in all its rich variety of flavors.
The Preserves, the Jams, the Marmalades, and the Torroni (nougats) by the Caffè Sicilia confectioners are many! |
