Rush Movie Synopsis

James Hunt, a bold and confident individual, and Niki Lauda, a calm and calculative technical genius who relied on practice and precision, were exceptional race car drivers who first developed a fierce rivalry in 1970 in a Formula Three race in London, when both their cars spun before Hunt won the race.

Lauda took out a large bank loan from Austria's Raiffeisen Bank to buy his way into the BRM Formula One team, where he first met teammate Clay Regazzoni.

Meanwhile, Hesketh Racing, the new racing team in which Hunt raced, broke into Formula One. Later, Lauda joined Scuderia Ferrari with Regazzoni and won his first championship in 1975.

Hesketh closed after failing to secure sponsorship, but Hunt joined the McLaren team. During this period, Hunt married supermodel Suzy Miller, while Lauda developed a relationship with German socialite Marlene Knaus.

The 1976 season began with Lauda dominating the first two races while Hunt struggled to catch up. Hunt won the Spanish Grand Prix, but was disqualified after a post-race inspection concluded that the width of his car exceeded the permitted limit. McLaren struggled to comply with F1 rules, and Hunt's situation worsened when Suzy began a relationship with actor Richard Burton.

After the divorce, Hunt's competitive spirit returned, and when his disqualification in Spain was overturned, the restored points put him in contention for the championship.

Lauda married Marlene in a private ceremony but began to have concerns about the impact of his newfound happiness, worried that he had become vulnerable as a driver, as he now had something to lose.

On the day of the German Grand Prix, Lauda called a drivers' meeting, urging the F1 committee to cancel the race due to heavy rain on the notoriously dangerous Nürburgring Nordschleife; the vote was against the cancellation after Hunt argued that Lauda was trying to gain a personal advantage in the competition by reducing the number of races remaining at a time when Lauda already had a significant points lead heading into the season's championship.

Most drivers started the race on rain tires, which became an expensive tactic as most of the fast track dried out quickly. They all changed tires during the second lap, pushing Hunt ahead of Lauda; his final attempt to catch up ended with a broken suspension arm in Lauda's Ferrari, causing a loss of control and the car plunging off a cliff, where it burned to the ground.

Lauda was transported by helicopter to hospital with third-degree burns to his head and face and deep burns to his lungs. For six weeks, Lauda nursed his injuries while watching Hunt - who otherwise felt guilty about Lauda's condition - dominate the race in his absence. Despite being forbidden by doctors, he decided to return to driving his Ferrari at the Italian Grand Prix, finishing fourth while Hunt failed to finish.

I Care a Lot tells the story of a woman who works in a guardianship agency named Marla Grayson (Rosamund Pike).

Marla will do whatever it takes to be appointed by the court to be the advocate for the elderly who are no longer able to take care of themselves and their property.

After being appointed by the court as an advocate, instead of providing legal assistance, Marla, with her expertise, drains the wealth of the pensioners in a cunning manner. Because of this, many of Marla's victims did not realize that they had been cheated.

After gaining control of the assets of the elderly, Marla and Fran (Eiza González), her partner and lover, find a new client named Jennifer Peterson (Dianne Wiest). Jennifer is someone who has no family, heirs, or debts.

At first, Marla and Fran believe they can take control of Jennifer's estate with ease. However, they soon realize that their new client is not a wealthy senior citizen like their previous victims.

Jennifer has a close relationship with a Russian gangster leader named Roman Lunyov (Peter Dinklage). Marla and Fran then strategize a new game so as not to get caught in Roman's grasp.

I Care a Lot is directed and written by J. Blakeson, the man behind the success of The Disappearance of Alice Creed.

Old news: Season Two Of 20th Century Fox

Jack Bauer is having another one of his "very bad days" in the second season of the groundbreaking real-time thriller 24. Once again the hours are ticking by with more guaranteed cliffhangers than a convention of mountain climbers. Holed up in a Los Angeles condo and estranged from his daughter, Jack is no longer on the government payroll; unfortunately for him, this small fact doesn't seem to matter to President David Palmer and the NSA, who call him back in to the CTU and give him 24 hours to infiltrate a terrorist organization that is planning to detonate a dirty bomb in the city of angels. All Jack wants is to get his daughter out of the city, unfortunately Kim's new employer, the abusive father of the child she is nannying, has other ideas.

Fans of the original won't be disappointed, as there are more than enough shock moments in the first few hours to hint at the climactic build-up to come, while newcomers can quickly get involved in the lives of Jack and his family. There are some new characters to bolster the veteran cast and, interestingly (although not surprisingly), Jack's character has taken an altogether darker, more psychopathic turn. The danger the characters find themselves in also has a much more global, not to mention topical, impetus, grounded as it is in the war against terrorism. Although the territory is more familiar this time around, this second season is just as much a high-tension, taut, adrenalin-fuelled ride as the first, and one that will have you glued to your TV for the next 24 hours. --Kristen Bowditch

Steve Holbrook, famous medium

Steve Holbrook. A famous naturally gifted medium and a very good friend of mine, is visiting our area in Spain this month !! If you haven´t seen him , one word sums Steve up---phenomenal . His presence on the stage is awesome.
He is appearing in Benidorm and Guardamar later in January for one night only at each venue. Details in Costa Blanca News.
He has three books out and raised thousands of pounds for charity and famously renowned for forecasting everything that happened to the singer Jane Mc Donald. And if you are in England and get chance to see him, you will not be disappointed.

Benidorm Book

New book about Benidorm just released. 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Living the dream...in Benidorm!'

If you are thinking of moving to Spain, then this book should form part of your research. If you are thinking of opening a bar in Spain then you must read it – more than once! If you are one of the many ex-ex-pat bar owners who have seen it, done it and had some euros left over to buy the T-shirt, then you will certainly relate to our story. You will also appreciate our frustrations with living and working in another EU country. If you are a regular tourist to Benidorm, perhaps you were a Rusty Nail customer; it will be a nice trip down memory lane as well as giving you an understanding of life on the other side of the bar.
