Nope no variations on those checks they look just the same as they did
decades ago and they still command the same elegance and style.From an
apprentice, 21 year old Thomas Burberry raised an empire of fashion and style on
his name. Established in 1856 Burberry house holds patents and trademarks that
had defined the fashion industry. From Audrey Hepburn on silver screen to
Claudia Pshiffer on the ramps from Peter Sellers to Naomi Campbell all have
adorned the famous Burberry checks or the Burberry Equestrian Knight a brand
that had defined British fashion and made it chic!Although Burberry lines
started as outerwear, great patented raincoats and military wear over the years
the famous checks dominated the skirts, the perfume boxes and presently the
handbags.
This is one of the easiest ways to tell this by looking inside. Of course, if
you're going to buy online it's going to be tough to do, but many sellers take
pictures of the inside and the outside.Inspect the exterior. This is getting
harder to do as fake purse makers are getting better and better at making
imposter bags. A lot of knock offs now use real leather, even the good stuff.
But there are still things you can check. Take a look at the zipper. Coach
handbags are made with the most sturdy zipper available, and the zipper should
be stamped with a YKK. These are the initials of the Chinese company that makes
the best actors are out there. When you look at the stitching, all of this that
she should be very even. All of this seems should line up perfectly, and all of
the material cuts should line up just to write.
When women plan to go shopping, they know that they want the shopping trip to
be fun and exciting. The last thing on their minds is to be stressed in any way
because that would take all of the fun out of what they are fixing to do. They
might not know exactly what they are shopping for, but they do know that they
want it to be comfortable.Most women will look at the mannequins in a store to
see what styles of clothing are being offered for sale at that time. If the
women's apparel looks comfortable and easy to care for, they might
choose to
give it a closer look. If the women's apparel is made of fabrics that require
dry cleaning, then they are likely to keep shopping.They will begin to get
discouraged if they do not see a large selection of women's apparel in their
size. This is the one reason why women shop at several stores throughout the
year.

Popularity of Herschell Gordon Lewi
Herschell Gordon Lewis is basically an American filmmaker, and
his films specialize in creating the subgenre of horror. He is more
popularly known as the Godfather of Gore. His films ranged in vast array
of categories ranging from children films, delinquent films and even
nudie cuties. He is also well-known for making a rural comedy. It was
with "Prime Time" that he started his first career venture. This was the
first ever feature film that was produced in Chicago. Following this,
he produced many other films ranging from "Living Venus", "Playboy" and
many more. His films are renowned all over the world even today.
There are plenty of books written on this famous film maker and his ideals and principles in life. These books also contain reviews and comments on different films made by the godfather. He combined with the producer David F to produce some of the greatest films in the history of world Cinemas. The movies that they made together were considered to be the early films of exploitation. The nude scenes that were depicted in their films were not seen in the mainstream Hollywood movies then. Even in the early 1960s we find erotic film production by these filmmakers.
However, it was these films that generally marked the beginning of a different approach to filmmaking. It was with Herschell Gordon Lewis that the trend came when respective parties were allowed to continue with the careers of production. These films were made especially with the intension of making a profit. Some of these nudies include "The Adventures of Lucky Pierre" and the "Goldilocks and the Three Bares". Following this, this filmmaker also entered into the phase of uncharted territory. These were considered by the critics as the first ever "gore" film. This was mainly because of the nature of the film for which they could easily cater to the requirements of the public.
However, in the later phases, the filmmaker continued to make many other gore films, but stopped working with David after the production of "Color Me Blood Red". In course of time, when he completed experimenting in different genres of films, he decided to stop film making. Following this, he decided to work as a copywriter and directly as a marketer. On the basis of these subjects, he published many books. However, after few years, in the year 2002, he returned into film direction once again, and thus directed many renowned and reputed films in the Hollywood movie category.
He made some money with a successful advertising firm. Thus, with the money so earned, he funded for his own films. His films are always different from the others in the sense that they were very low-budget films, but he always remained resourceful in the works he produced. Herschell Gordon Lewis also purchased the right to an incomplete film, and completed the film by himself. He re-titled the book as "Monster A Go-Go. He also released a film related to television game in the year 2009. This marks his immense popularity.

Yet Another Godfather Remake
Like me, if any of you watch ETV Bangla in your homes, you must be
watching this new tele-serial "Dhoop Chhaya" or "Sun and Shade" the
latest remake of "The Godfather". Since Francis Ford Coppola made his
classic mafia-gangster movie trilogy and created film making history,
there has been several attempts to make films inspired by these great
classics. Ram Gopal Verma made his Sarkar and Sarkar Raj adapted
directly from the Coppola classics with the Bachchan father son duo -
Amitabh and Abhishek. And now ETV Bangla is doing their share - "Dhoop
Chhaya" a new tele-serial directed by Debangshu Sengupta and produced by
Atanu Roy.
The story revolves around the mafia family of Raghuram Pathak (Don) whose hot headed son Uday Pathak (Sonny) and the more refined Parashar Pathak (Michael) rule the Kolkata underworld. The opening episode looked so much like that of the opening sequence of Godfather (I) that I expected to see a shot by shot remake. The serial even has the family counsel Tom Hagen's (Robert Duvall) character is played in this serial by Saswato Chatterjee. However, the serial has now taken its own twists and turns, and like most serials, the believability of these plot twists are questionable. But overall, the serial has the intensity to keep the viewers glued to the screen. The acting overall is at par and in some instances, quite good.
Another positive aspect of this serial is the presence of some fresh new faces. It often becomes tiring to see the same faces in all serials. Sometimes it becomes difficult to figure out what serial is on - the same actors acting out similar characters in similar story lines. It seems the actors are not at all concerned about over exposure and how it can damage their career as well as the viewership of these serials. Kolkata never lacked in acting talent and we the viewers would like to see fresh talent on our screens. I hope the producers will take notice of this issue.

I guess it is really hard to find any movie fan that does not know Francis Coppolas`s masterpiece "The Godfather". First of all I must admit that mafia movies are my favorite ones. I love them! "The Godfather" is classics that must be seen and learn from. I have seen this title dozens of time and it is never gets old. Like old wine, just getting better and better over time. . .
The movie starts as head of a New York Mafia family don Vito Corleone oversees his beloved daughter's Connie Corleone wedding to Carlo Rizzi. Music, dancing and singing is all over the place. The only thing that troubles feast is police spying on colorful crowd. Vito Corleone`s youngest son Michael just come home from the world war II and is not intended to become part of his father's "dirty" business. Vito Corleone is aging and subconsciously is looking for strong leader to continue family business. Through Michael's hard and unpredictable life movie shows us the secrets of the family shady "business".
The big "Business" of the family is like don Vito Corleone - gentle and generous to those who give respect and devotion, but ruthless and violent whenever anything stands against well-being of the family. Old don lives his life in the way of the old country does, but times are changing very quickly and many so called "friends" or family members don't want to follow the old way. Rising rival of the Corleone family is thinking to start business of selling drugs in New York and needs the old Don's influence to develop further his plan. The confrontation of the Vito`s vanishing old world family values and the new ways of "doing business" will take its price. Great deal of this price will hit Michael and his peaceful life.
To be short - all of Michael's family is involved with the mafia business but Michael wants to live a normal life and keep distance from family business. At the same time drug dealer Virgil Sollozzo is looking for all Mafia families support to offer him protection in exchange for a profit from the drug money business. He also trying to approach old Don Corleone about this idea but, much despite the "reasonable" advice of the old Don's lawyer Tom Hagen, the old Don is completely against the taste of drugs in family business, and drops down the offer. As you can imagine this incomprehensible decision will not please drug dealer Sollozzo. Old don Vito Corleone gets shot down by some of Sollozzo loyal men. Don Vito by chance survives murder attempt and this forces his son Michael to change his life forever by beginning a violent gangster war against drug boss Sollozzo.

The Godfather - Review
Often a film is made to fit a genre but it is rare that a film
defines the criterion of a genre. 'The Godfather' is one such gem of a
movie that defined another genre of its time, 'gangster movies'. The
film was released in 1972 and bagged ten Academy Award nominations and
was named the 'Best Picture'. Since that time, all gangster movies has
been compared with this one, an unfair comparison as it may seem to be.
If 'The Godfather' was just about carrying a gun and shooting people around, it would never have become the epic of gangster movies. One factor that sets this movie on a higher pedestal than all others that were made before it and after it, was its success in interweaving, the often disconnected stories as a cohesive whole. All the issues covered by this movie are strong enough to individually become the foundation. However, they have been so well glued together that they resonate with each other. The movie has a series of climaxes which all build themselves into one devastating conclusion.
One example of a film telling many diverse stories was 'Pulp Fiction' but there were only three stories in this movie whereas, The Godfather has so many interconnected stories that it is impossible to even think that they may have a link somewhere. The Godfather's success is not only its strong script but the amazing performances by the actors who just dissolve into the characters under the solid direction by Coppola plays the biggest role in its blasting the box office records.
In not so many words, a must watch.
