Book Description
Three local businessmen recruit Jason Eisenberg, a market savvy high school teacher, to guide their stock investment club. After much success, Jason is fired for trading during class time, so he becomes a day-trader. The club rides the wave of Tech Stocks to make a million. On the day the NASDAQ tumbles, however, Jason freezes at the controls and loses it all. As an afterthought, he robs a bank to meet his margin call. Soon they all join in, robbing banks on their way to work. The Atlanta press dubs them The Morning Glory Gang, and what begins as an act of desperation becomes a high stakes game as the robberies become more frequent and more violent. All goes well with the gang until Annabelle Whaley enters the picture. Belle, an African American detective, was just passed over for a promotion and she is spoiling for a fight.

At a Theater or Drive-in Near You
Author: Randall Clark
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 131792908X
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
Millions of Americans have been thrilled, scared, titillated, and shocked by exploitation movies, low budget films with many scenes of sex, violence, and other potentially lurid elements. The term derives from the fact that promoters of such films exploit the contents in advertising that plays up the sexual or violent aspects of the films. This is the first comprehensive study of the American exploitation film to be published. It discusses five distinct genres: the teen movie, the sexploitation film, the martial arts movie, the blaxploitation film and the lawbreaker picture. Contained within these genres are many popular American film types, including beach movies, biker pictures, and women's prison movies. The study provides a history and sociopolitical analysis of each genre, focusing on significant films in those genres. It also discusses the economics of exploitation films and their place in the motion picture industry, the development of drive-in theaters, the significance of the teenage audience, and the effect of the videocassette. Finally, the book applies major film and cultural theories to establish an aesthetic for evaluating the exploitation film and to explore the relationship between film and audience.

The Humorless Ladies of Border Control
Author: Franz Nicolay
Publisher: New Press, The
ISBN: 1620971801
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 263
Book Description
In 2009, musician Franz Nicolay left his job in the Hold Steady, aka "the world's greatest bar band." Over the next five years, he crossed the world with a guitar in one hand, a banjo in the other, and an accordion on his back, playing the anarcho-leftist squats and DIY spaces of the punk rock diaspora. He meets Polish artists nostalgic for their revolutionary days, Mongolian neo-Nazis in full SS regalia, and a gay expat in Ulaanbaatar who needs an armed escort between his home and his job. The Russian punk scene is thrust onto the international stage with the furor surrounding the arrest of the group Pussy Riot, and Ukrainians find themselves in the midst of a revolution and then a full-blown war.> While engaging with the works of literary predecessors from Rebecca West to Chekhov and the nineteenth-century French aristocrat the Marquis de Custine, Nicolay explores the past and future of punk rock culture in the postcommunist world in the kind of book a punk rock Paul Theroux might have written, with a humor reminiscent of Gary Shteyngart. An audacious debut from a vivid new voice, The Humorless Ladies of Border Control is an unforgettable, funny, and sharply drawn depiction of surprisingly robust hidden spaces tucked within faraway lands.
