(This is the ninth movie in the series.) Based on the bestselling Varg Veum novels and two collections of short stories by author Gunnar Staalesen, this modern noir Norwegian crime series is distinguished by dark humor, insightful characterization, and unremitting suspense. Varg is the old Norwegian word for wolf, and Varg Veum (Trond Espen Seim) is one lone wolf who's become a household name to the European crime audience. He may be unconventional but he gets the job done.

Handsomely mounted, epic in scope, and featuring an outstanding cast, TNT's The Company might restore some much-needed luster to the image of the Central Intelligence Agency (then again, perhaps not). Based on Robert Littell's popular historical novel of the same name, the show commingles real and invented characters as it traces the CIA's role in several major events, from the earliest days of the Cold War through the collapse of the Soviet Union, with particular attention given to the division of Berlin into East and West in the 1950s, the anti-Communist uprising in mid-'50s Hungary, and the disastrous Bay of Pigs operation in the early '60s.

Stars Chris O'Donnell, Alfred Molina, and Michael Keaton.

Whatever Lola Wants (2007)

MKV/AVC/DTS | 2557/1802/755-6ch Kbps | Video 1024x434 x264 23.976 fps

From amazon.com
The story is about a somewhat naive American ballet dancer who meets an Egyptian guy and decides to follow him in Egypt, where she wakes up to a few realities in the difference of culture, then discovers bellydancing and decides to take classes from a fallen star.

It's a light movie with a good storyline which is truly enjoyable, the actress playing Lola (Laura Ramsey) has a very positive energy and the film leaves you feeling good long afterwards. The fact that they did not pick a bellydancer for the role is a shame for those who were expecting some serious moves, but it makes the story much more credible and there are quite a few fun dances. You might feel cheated that the Ismahan character (Carmen Lebbos) is not shown to do more dancing, but the actress playing her gives her great depth.

Julia Ormond faced one of the great challenges of her career when she tried to re-create Audrey Hepburn's title role in the 1995 remake of 1954's Sabrina. Happily, Ormond performed admirably, and while she may not have the same gamine charm of Hepburn, she makes the role her own. In fact, her transformation from mousy girl to sophisticated young woman is actually more dramatic in this updated version. The basic plot is the same--chauffeur's daughter falls in love with the son of the rich household, only to be wooed away by the older brother (Harrison Ford) for business purposes--but it has been entertainingly modernized: The head of the Larrabee household is the strong matriarch (Nancy Marchand); Sabrina goes to Paris to work with a photographer instead of going to cooking school (although that means the wonderful "new egg" scene of the original had to be ditched); David's (Greg Kinnear) character has been toned down and made more sympathetic; and Humphrey Bogart's revolutionary plastic has become the flattest TV screen ever made. Lauren Holly does a fine job playing Elizabeth Tyson, David's fiancée. If you watch this for its own worth--instead of comparing it to the original--this will prove to be a terrific lighthearted romantic comedy. --Jenny Brown

Midnight Caller "Twelve Gauge" s01e10
TV Rip, 48min | English | 29.97 fps
DivX5 avi Video: 640x480 | MP3 128Kbps/44.1 kHz | 375Mb + 5% recovery

This is episode 10 from the first season of Midnight Caller titled "Twelve Gauge." Almost impossible to find, I'd like to thank another Avaxian, who prefers to remain anonymous, for providing a copy of it.

Synopsis: Jack spends most of his radio show talking with a homicidal/suicidal "spurned lover" -- the man is waiting to kill his girlfriend and then himself. It's a race against time for the police to track down the location of the woman's home. Guest stars Ed O'Neill.

Midnight Caller starred Gary Cole as Jack Killian, a former San Francisco police detective who had quit the force after accidentally shooting his partner to death in a confrontation with armed criminals. After lapsing into alcoholism, Killian receives an offer from Devon King (Wendy Kilbourne), the beautiful and wealthy owner-operator of KJCM-FM, to become "The Nighthawk", host of an overnight talk show, taking calls from listeners and acting as a detective solving their problems during the day.

The discovery of a new victim, who doesn't fit the usual profile of prostitute or drug user, causes concern that the killer may be indiscriminately targeting his victims. Eager to prove herself, Travis uncovers a vital piece of evidence linking one man to all the killings. But things get complicated when she finds herself attracted to the prime suspect...

A Takes A Thief - A Thief Is A Thief (Magnificent Thief) - Pilot (1968)
VHS Rip | 1hr 38min | English | 23.976 fps
Video: 640x480 xvid | Audio: mp3 128 Kbps | 730Mb + 5% recovery

Tagline for the television show: "We don't want you to spy...we want you to steal!"

"It Takes a Thief" is an American action-adventure television series that aired on ABC for two and a half seasons between January 9, 1968 to March 24, 1970. It was among the last of the 1960s spy television genre, although Mission: Impossible continued for several years. It Takes A Thief was inspired by, though not based upon, the 1955 Cary Grant motion picture To Catch a Thief, directed by Alfred Hitchcock; both of their titles stem from the English proverb "It takes a thief to catch a thief."

Mel Tormé - Tormé (1958)
Jazz, Swing | MP3 CBR 320 kbps | 130MB + 5% recovery

allmusic.com:
Most of Mel Tormé's albums for Verve and Bethlehem during the 1950s concentrated on material either carefree (usually up-tempo) or reflective (mostly down-tempo), but 1958's Tormé blended the two. For every bouncy single like "That Old Feeling" or "I'm Gonna Laugh You Out of My Life," Tormé sinks into the depths with "Gloomy Sunday," "The House Is Haunted (By the Echo of Your Last Goodbye)," or his dramatic eight-minute reading of "Blues in the Night." All this makes for a bit of emotional confusion while listening to Tormé, but the LP pulls together for the most part.

Mel Tormé, Gerry Mulligan & George Shearing - The Classic Concert Live (1982)
Jazz, Swing | MP3 CBR 320 kbps | 160MB + 5% recovery

Amazon reviewer:
This recently discovered 1982 recording of the Carnegie Hall performance of Mel Torme, George Shearing, and Gerry Mulligan is the only known recording of these three giants performing together, and what a performance it is! Mulligan's fifteen-piece orchestra connects the artists' solos and fills the recording with atmospheric effects, haunting beats, and dramatic accents. Torme's evolution from crooner of beautiful melodies, as he was in the 1977 "London Sessions," to a full-out jazz performer just five years later, is obvious through his relaxed scatting and his use of his voice as a jazz instrument--on a par with Mulligan's sax and Shearing's piano.
