The New York Public Library.

One of the many privileges you get living in N.Y.C is
The New York Public Library.

Once you get your New York Public Library Card
you have Free access to thousand titles of CD`s,Films,Books,Magazines
and everything else you can find in New York`s amazing library system.

You can borrow any CD you like for up to three weeks,which gives you
plenty of time to download it to your computer,to burn a CD, to make
a cassette copy or just listen to it and form an opinion about artists
you have never heard before.

The same time line applies for Books while for Videos or DVD`s
is one week borrowing time which of course you can prolong
by calling the library and let them know.

Last week i saw two very good movies.

Insomnia (2002) directed by
Christopher Nolan,
was a superb thriller with breathtaking views of
Alaska`s landscape starring Al Pacino giving a superb performance
as a crime investigator veteran,Robin Williams as a writer with
a quite disturbed personality,and Hilary Swank as a new investigator
officer in Nightmute-Alaska of all places.

Topkapi (1964) directed by Jules Dassin
is a classic thriller with panoramic views of Kavala-Greece,
and of the Top Kapi Palace
with brilliant performances from Melina Merkouri,
Peter Ustinov and
Maximilian Schell.
The music score is written by Greece`s beloved composer
Manos Hadjidakis.
