 Henry James - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 DVD review of Chopper - DVD Town
“Chopper” Read states that the picture is otherwise 95% accurate and one question that quickly comes to mind knowing this is “How is this guy not currently in jail?” The persona that is “Chopper” is a remarkably interesting man and a perfect character to bring to the big screen.
Read is as much a character on the commentary as the man that is portrayed in the picture.
Nowadays, “Chopper” Read is a best-selling author and a very free man. He is a very interesting man, but not exactly somebody you want to bring home for dinner.

 Literary Encyclopedia: Sir Herbert Read
Herbert Read, poet, literary critic, and philosopher of modern art, was born on 4 December 1893, son of a tenant-farmer in North Yorkshire.
Read's education was interrupted by the outbreak of the First World War, which threw him again into the cogs of the industrial age.
The move exposed strains in the Reads' marriage, brought to a crisis when Read began an affair with a twenty-five year old musician, Margaret Ludwig (Ludo); Read and Ludo eloped in June 1933; they were to marry in February 1936, and were to have four children.

 DVD > Actors & Actresses > ( B ) > Brooks, Albert
Albert Brooks proves there's laughs after death with this almost heavenly comedy--almost heaven as in Judgment City, where recently perished Daniel Miller (Brooks) learns whether he is worthy of advancing to a higher plane of existence or will be sent back to earth for another incarnation.
It seems to lack something on first viewing--where's the third act, anyway?--but Albert Brooks's Lost in America is one of those movies that people keep quoting to each other long after they've seen it.
Just as The Twelve Chairs is one of Mel Brooks's least-known movies and most deserving of rediscovery, so is Real Life, the first feature film by Albert Brooks (no relation), a buried treasure.
