Italiano
Un gruppo di geni della matematica cinquantenni tenta di sbancare il sistema delle scommesse sportive di Las Vegas per arricchirsi. Tra loro vi è una giovane donna che ha ha fatto una serie di scelte sbagliate nella vita, ma troverà la redenzione dopo aver incontrato sul suo cammino i giocatori attempati.

Français
Aussi ravissante que généreuse, Beth Raymer comprend qu’elle a tout intérêt à abandonner son métier de strip-teaseuse et quitte donc la Floride pour devenir barmaid à Las Vegas. Alors qu’elle ne trouve pas de travail, elle fait la connaissance de Dink, parieur sportif professionnel qui, croyant déceler un vrai potentiel chez la pétillante Beth, lui offre un boulot : elle est censée prendre des paris en son nom et démarcher des clients par téléphone. Dink a eu le nez creux : la jeune femme se révèle particulièrement douée et ne tarde pas à devenir sa mascotte jusqu’à ce que la roue tourne…

Türkçe
Beth Raymer, Florida'da bir striptiz kulübünde dans etmektedir. Las Vegas'ta bar garsonu olarak iş bulunca buradan ayrılır; yine de hayalindeki kariyer fırsatı olmasa da fazla seçeneği de yoktur. Profesyonel bir bahisçi olan Dink ile tanışınca, yeni bir iş teklifi de karşısına çıkar: tek yapacağı şey güçlü sayısal hafızasını kullanarak Dink'in şirketinin "şans meleği" olmaktır. Kısa zamanda Beth gerçekten Dink'e büyük şans getirir ama bu arada oyun bozan karısı Tulip çoktan ikisini kıskanmaya başlamıştır. Bu arada oldukça masum bir erkek arkadaş edinen Beth, Dink’ten ve şirketten ayrılarak Jeremy ile New York’a gider. Burada bulduğu işse yine bir takım yasa dışı işler yürüten Rosie'nin ekibi için çalışmaktır. Fakat işler sarpa sarar ve Jeremy'nin başı belaya girince Beth, Dink’ten tekrar yardım ister.

Deutsch
Viel Glück hat Beth bisher nicht im Leben gehabt, doch Offenheit und ein großes Herz sollten sich irgendwann auszahlen. In Las Vegas, im kleinen Büro von Sportwettenmacher Dink, könnte sich alles zum Besseren wenden. Tatsächlich steigt auch die Quote von Beth, die für Dink als Rechenkünstlerin und Freundin unentbehrlich wird. Bis dessen eifersüchtige Ehefrau einschreitet und die Aufsteigerin aus dem Paradies vertreibt. Nun versucht Beth auf eigene Faust ihr Glück beim Wetten, und droht alles zu verlieren.

svenska
Beth Raymer är en vacker kvinna med ett stort hjärta. Hon ger upp strippandet i Florida för att förverkliga sin dröm: att bli cocktailservitris i Las Vegas. Men hon hittar inget jobb. Istället har hon tur att stöta på Dink, en egensinnig sportkille som ser möjligheter och förmågor i Beths bubblande yttre. Dink ger Beth ett erbjudande att jobba med placeringar av pengar via telefon. Hans satsning betalar sig – hon visar sig ha dolda talanger när det gäller spel och snabbt blir hon Dinks lyckoamulett. Men Dinks ex-fru Ange Tulip kommer dem emellan. Hon tvingas ge Beth sparken. Dinks tur är över när Beth försvinner till New York för att arbeta för en av hans största rivaler, en bookmaker som heter Rosie. Men det går överstyr när Beth och Rosie gör ett val som tvingar dem att bryta mot lagen. Dink och Tulip måste rycka in för att hjälpa Beth. Stephen Frears har regisserat en komedi om spel, romantik och osannolik vänskap

Español

Nederlands
Het verhaal speelt zich af in het legale - en illegale - gokcircuit en volgt de onvoorspelbare dromer Beth die opklimt van stripper in Tallahassee tot de assistent van Dink, een van de meest succesvolle gokkers in Las Vegas. Ze is een natuurtalent maar maakt de fout om voor Dink te vallen, wat zeer tegen de zin is van diens vrouw Tulip, een ex-showgirl. Het is het begin van een oorlog tussen de drie. Tegen het advies van Dink gaat Beth werken voor de flamboyante maar onstabiele Rosie die allerlei illegale zaakjes runt in New York City. Wanneer de zaken echter verkeerd lopen en hierdoor Beths onschuldige vriendje een gevangenisstraf boven het hoofd hangt, moet ze zich opnieuw verenigen met Dink, het opnemen tegen de vreselijke Tulip, de gevangenis trotseren en terug naar NYC keren om haar verantwoordelijkheid op te nemen. Keren haar kansen en kan ze haar slag thuishalen?

Девушка в 24 года переехала в Лас-Вегас, где нашла работу у добродушного Динка Хаймовица, содержащего нелегальную букмекерскую контору. Миляга Динк получил хорошее образование, но отличился в родном Нью-Йорке махинациями на ставках, из-за чего и сбежал в игорную столицу США. Игорным бизнесом Хаймовиц продолжал заниматься при помощи своего напарника букмекера Бернарда Роуза, который живет на Лонг-Айленде. Будучи математическими гениями, эти двое сколотили себе состояние на ставках и наивных клиентах, тогда как сама Бет научилась от них многим трюкам.

The Queen summary, synopsis, reviews
The QueenDrama2006

Winner of the Academy Award® for Best Actress, Dame Helen Mirren gives a spellbinding performance in The Queen, the provocative story behind one of the most public tragedies of our time - the sudden death of Princess Diana. In the wake of Diana's death, the very private and tradition-bound Queen Elizabeth II (Mirren) finds herself in conflict with the new Prime Minister, the slickly modern and image-conscious Tony Blair. The Queen, also starring Academy Award® nominee James Cromwell (Best Supporting Actor, Babe, 1995), takes you inside the private chambers of the Royal Family and the British government for a captivating look at a vulnerable human being in her darkest hour, as a nation grieving for its People's Princess waits to see what its leaders will do. Suspenseful, heartfelt and riveting, it's a fascinating story you won't soon forget.

High Fidelity summary, synopsis, reviews
High FidelityComedy2000

From the guys who brought you Grosse Pointe Blank comes the absolutely hilarious High Fidelity. John Cusack (Being John Malkovich) stars as Rob Gordon, the owner of a semi-failing record store located on one of the back streets of Chicago. He sells music the old-fashioned way -- on vinyl, with two wacky clerks, the hysterically funny rock snob Barry (Jack Black) and the more quietly opinionated underachiever Dick (Todd Louiso). But Rob's business isn't the only thing in his life that's floundering -- his needle skips the love groove when his longtime girlfriend Laura (newcomer Iben Hjejle) walks out on him. And this forces him to examine his past failed attempts at romance the only way he knows how! For a rocking fun time, give High Fidelity a spin. It's sure to make your all-time top five list for comedies -- with a bullet.

The Alternative Comedy Experience, Season 1The Alternative Comedy Experience

Over thirty years ago, a new wave of stand-ups spearheaded the Alternative Comedy movement, marking themselves out as different from the safe television turns, the Oxbridge satirists, and the racist and sexist Working Men’s Club comics of the time. THE ALTERNATIVE COMEDY EXPERIENCE captures that same schism happening again. An advance raiding party of modern day Alternative Comedians offering material too clever, thoughtful, radical, satirical, strange, or downright stupid to make it onto the stand-up outlets of contemporary television. THE ALTERNATIVE COMEDY EXPERIENCE was filmed in front of a real comedy club audience during a full week of packed houses at THE STAND COMEDY CLUB, EDINBURGH, faithfully capturing the unique atmosphere at one of the UK’s favourite and longest established live comedy clubs. With its fast-moving distinctive visual style and unique cast THE ALTERNATIVE COMEDY EXPERIENCE is original, unpredictable, and unlike any other live stand-up show on our screens. THE ALTERNATIVE COMEDY EXPERIENCE celebrates the past, the present and the future of the UK comedy circuit and the craft of stand-up comedy at its most original. Renew your faith in this vital live art form. CAST: SIMON MUNNERY, ISY SUTTIE, BOOTHBY GRAFFOE, PHIL NICHOL, ANDY ZALTZMAN, HENNING WEHN, JOSIE LONG, PAUL FOOT, TONY LAW, ELEANOR TIERNAN, DAVID KAY, DAVID O DOHERTY, BRIDGET CHRISTIE, STEPHEN CARLIN, PAUL SINHA, ALUN COCHRANE, SAM SIMMONS, ROBIN INCE, GLENN WOOL, MAEVE HIGGINS and STEWART LEE.
