Zusammenfassung: In April 1805 during the Napoleonic Wars, the H.M.S. Surprise, a British frigate, is under the command of Captain Jack Aubrey. Aubrey and the Surprise's current orders are to track and capture or destroy a French privateer named Acheron. The Acheron is currently in the Atlantic off South America headed toward the Pacific in order to extend Napoleon's reach of the wars. This task will be a difficult one as Aubrey quickly learns in an initial battle with the Acheron that it is a bigger and faster ship than the Surprise, which puts the Surprise at a disadvantage. Aubrey's single-mindedness in this seemingly impossible pursuit puts him at odds with the Surprise's doctor and naturalist, Stephen Maturin, who is also Aubrey's most trusted advisor on board and closest friend.

Zusammenfassung: Am 29. Juni 2004 eröffnete Diana Krall vor 15.000 Fans das 25ste Montreal Jazz Festival. Mit diesem Konzert war sie nicht nur der Star des Abends, sondern selbstverständlich der Star des gesamten Festivals. Das Konzert gestaltete sie vorwiegend mit den Songs ihres aktuellen Longplayers "The Girl In The Other Room", einem Werk zwischen Singer/Songwriter, Blues und Jazz, mit dem sie seit April 2004 weltweit Kritikerherzen höher schlagen ließ und Tonträgerumsätze ankurbelte. Mit diesem Programm bezauberte die Kanadierin und ihre kompetenten Begleiter Anthony Wilson - guitar, Robert Hurst - bass, Peter Erskine - drums das riesige Publikum. Ihr manchmal eigentümlich spröder Charme, die Emotionalität der Songs von denen einige in enger Zusammenarbeit mit Elvis Costello entstanden sind, die hohe Musikalität und nicht zuletzt der hohe Swing-Faktor des Quartetts hielten die Spannung bis zum Schluss. Ein krönender Abschluss war die Zugabe mit Singer/Songwriter-Kollege Ron Sexsmith, mit dem Diana den Song "Secret Heart" intonierte. Die DVD-Produktion fängt das Geschehene auf technisch hohem Niveau ein. Bildeinstellungen von 14 Kameras sowie ein Stereo-Mix und ein 5.1 Surround Sound Mix machen das Konzert zu einem wunderbaren Home Entertainment Ergeignis.

Zusammenfassung: Die in schwyzerdütsch verfasste Handlung parodiert Elemente kabarettistischer Kleinkunst vor dem Hintergrund einer buffonesken Kriminal- und operettenhaften Liebesgeschichte.

Ruthli, die Tochter der Familie Baumann, steht kurz vor ihrer Verlobung mit dem Polizisten Bruno. Ihr Vater verkauft einem jungen Mann ein erotisches Magazin, der gibt dafür eine vermeintlich billige Perlenkette in Zahlung. Aufgeregt erwartet die Wirtin vom "Lämmli" ihre "international renommierten" Künstler Olly Moreen und André, in den sich Ruthli während eines früheren Gastspiels verliebt hat. Die Gauner Zungen-Miggel, Räuber-Seppli und Bunker-Willy haben eine Perlenkette gestohlen, die sie für ein paar Tage loswerden wollen. Da André ihnen noch einen Gefallen schuldet, muss er die Kette an sich nehmen.

Auf der Probe luchst Olly André die Kette ab. Ruthli verkündet André ihre Verlobung. Eigentlich ist sie noch immer in ihn verliebt. Die eifersüchtige Olly wirft André die Perlenkette vor die Füße. In seiner Verlegenheit redet der Charmeur André Ruthli ein, die Perlenkette sei für sie bestimmt gewesen. In der Abendvorstellung im "Lämmli" treffen Kleinbürger, Künstler, "übel beleumundete" Damen, abenteuerlustige Jungmänner, Provinzler, die Gauner und die Obrigkeit aufeinander. Die Handlung kulminiert.

Auf die Frage ihrer Mutter, woher sie die Kette habe, gibt Ruthli Bruno an, der kurze Zeit später auf der Suche nach der gestohlenen Kette das Lokal betritt. Ruthli entflieht der peinlichen Situation. Als das Licht aus geht, kann auch André, der in Verdacht steht, die Kette gestohlen zu haben, flüchten.

Erst langsam kommt Licht in die Sache. Der Juwelier hat die echte Perlenkette der Auslage gegen eine Imitation ausgetauscht, die die Räuber zu ihrer Schande als echte gestohlen haben, während der junge Mann sich als Enkel des Bestohlenen erweist. Er hat die echte Kette als Imitation gesehen und an sich genommen, um einmal etwas zu erleben. Ruthli hat also die ganze Zeit die falsche Kette gehabt, ihr Vater unwissentlich die echte.

Ruthli und André kommen aus ihrem Versteck hervor. André hat Ruthli, im Grunde genommen zu ihrer Erleichterung, gestanden, dass es mit ihrer "großen" Liebe aus ist. Er versöhnt sich mit Olly, Ruthli mit Bruno und so können die Turbulenzen des Tages und der Nacht in die gewohnt ruhigen bürgerlichen Bahnen zurückgelenkt werden.

Roughly chronological, using archival footage intercut with recent interviews, a story takes shape of Bob Dylan's (b. 1941) coming of age from 1961 to 1966 as a singer, songwriter, performer, and star. He takes from others: singing styles, chord changes, and rare records. He keeps moving: on stage, around New York City and on tour, from Suze Rotolo to Joan Baez and on, from songs of topical witness to songs of raucous independence, from folk to rock. He drops the past. He refuses, usually with humor and charm, to be simplified, classified, categorized, or finalized: always becoming, we see a shapeshifter on a journey with no direction home.

He had come of age musically and had made it to Carnegie Hall. The hit records "Georgia on My Mind" and "Born to Lose" successively kept climbing to the top of the charts. He had made his first triumphant European concert tour in 1960 (a feat which, except for 1965, he has repeated at least once a year ever since). He had taken virtually every form of popular music and broken through its boundaries with such awe inspiring achievements as the LP's "Genius Plus Soul Equals Jazz" and "Modern Sounds in Country & Western". Rhythm and blues (or "race music" as it had been called) became universally respectable through his efforts. Jazz found a mainstream audience it had never previously enjoyed. And country and western music began to chart an unexpected course to general acceptance, then worldwide popularity. And along the way, Ray ...

Zusammenfassung: Antonio Salieri believes that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's music is divine and miraculous. He wishes he was himself as good a musician as Mozart so that he can praise the Lord through composing. He began his career as a devout man who believes his success and talent as a composer are God's rewards for his piety. He's also content as the respected, financially well-off, court composer of Austrian Emperor Joseph II. But he's shocked to learn that Mozart is such a vulgar creature, and can't understand why God favored Mozart to be his instrument. Salieri's envy has made him an enemy of God whose greatness was evident in Mozart. He is ready to take revenge against God and Mozart for his own musical mediocrity.

Zusammenfassung: There is a theory that man is born with half a per mille too little. That alcohol in the blood opens the mind to the outside world, problems seem smaller and creativity increases. We know it well; after the first glass of wine, the conversation lifts, the possibilities open up. Martin is a high school teacher. He feels old and tired. His students and their parents want him terminated to increase their average. Encouraged by the per mille theory, Martin and his three colleagues throw themselves into an experiment to maintain a constant alcohol impact in everyday life. If Churchill won World War II in a dense fog of spirits, what could the strong drops do for them and their students? The result is positive in the beginning. Martin's class is in a different way now, and the project is being promoted to a real academic study with the collection of results. Slowly, but surely, the alcohol makes the four friends and their surroundings loosen up. The results are rising, and they really begin to feel life. As the objects go inboard, the experiment progresses for some, and goes off track for others. It becomes clearer and clearer that alcohol can generate great results in world history, but that all daring can also have consequences. The film is described as a fun, touching and thought-provoking drama about friendship, freedom - and alcohol.
