Whether you refer to it as an entryway, foyer or front entrance it's an area of our home that is often overlooked when it comes to decorating and making a design statement. Large or small the entryway is a great space to create a welcoming vignette for visitors or simply for you to enjoy. There are many ways to make this area of your home both welcoming and functional.
Small but Functional
If this area of your home is not overly spacious there are still many ways to make it practical. For some of us this area of the home may be used on a daily basis, by the family, so it performs many functions.
Using a wall mounted piece of furniture with lots of nooks for storage allows you to keep the entryway looking organized. Mounting it to the wall also allows for shoe storage or even a small bench underneath.

I love this idea of adding hooks to the entrance for jackets, hats or purses. No matter how small this area try adding a rug to bring in colour, pattern or texture. Other decorating features that can be incorporated are pillows on a bench, artwork or framed photographs. I always like to have a mirror in the front entrance. It's a handy way to give yourself a quick check before heading out the door or allow your visitors to do the same!
Using baskets in a small area has always been one way I like to keep things both functional and organized. Wire baskets are great for keeping track of all those gloves, hats and mitts that we need (thankfully not any time soon).
Large and Overwhelming
While some of us may find small spaces challenging an overly large entrance can also provide it's own set of challenges. Often these areas can feel cold and unwelcoming.
Using large scale furniture and accessories, such as a lamps or mirrors, that are proportionate to the size of the foyer will make it feel more warm and welcoming.

Ensure your lighting is also appropriate for the size of the foyer. If you have high ceilings try hanging a large chandelier or multiple chandeliers at different lengths. It can make the room seem less overwhelming and it's a great way to inject your personality.

If you've been reading my blogs you know I LOVE a painted door. Using a colour on the interior of your front door is a quick way to inject a design statement. As I've mentioned before just ensure the colour you use relates to other accents or pieces in your home. In the picture below they've made the most of a small foyer by adding both a piece of furniture for storage and hooks on the wall.
I hope I've provided you with a little inspiration for decorating your entryway.
Happy Decorating!

I've had a really nice few days. I came back home to D.C. for my spring break — a plan that is much different from one before that involved me coming back to Columbia early — and after deciding to stay here the whole week, I really think it's been a great time. I'm definitely in break mode. I mean, I'm channeling my inner gluttony, sloth and indulgence simultaneously. (I know this sounds bad. But you cannot blame me…everyone loves a good week where every day contains seven meals, shamefully long naps and overt —but discounted — spending.)
I only kid. I've actually been very, very busy the past few days. I'm not one to brag, but hey…living in D.C. is awesome. And I've really got my parents to thank for that. I do honestly miss Orlando sometimes. But D.C. makes up for it tenfold — except for my friends I regretfully have left behind!
It's always nice to be in a city where it's not surprising to read about a conference that's happening right on the weekend you find out about it. That's exactly what happened to me this weekend. J Street, a progressive-minded pro-Israel lobby in D.C., was hosting its annual Making History conference at the D.C. convention center, and I was beyond excited when I read about it online. (Ask my mom. I yelped when I saw it was this weekend.) I knew I had to go. It was focusing on the future of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict (as well as other things like the influence of the Arab Spring and the issue of Iran's nuclear ambitions) and after learning recently about the conflict and due to my incessant obsession with the region, I practically grabbed my bag and ran to the convention center. It was also nice to see that the student price was super cheap.
(Note: I'm an American who was raised Christian. I've just been interested in the conflict and the Middle East region for a while, and as my learning grows, I've come to learn more about the complexities and the intertwining of the conflicts within the region. This conference provided a great opportunity for me to get short-term but very intensive and well-worthy knowledge that has helped me sift through the steep intricacies of the region.)
I learned many things at this convention, and I'm surprised at the number of events I was able to go to. I got a wonderful vignette into a Jewish perspective (albeit the progressive one) about the progress (or lack thereof) of the issue between the Israelis and Palestinians. It was two days of intense discussions and panels and films that brought together diplomats, experts, professors, progressive Jews, conservative Jews (although pretty few and far between), non-Jews and a surprising and exciting number of young people like me to talk about an issue that's become the front and center issue yet has remained shadowed by taboo and conflict. I'd like to consider myself an outsider to the general debate, and that's something I wanted to change. I spoke to some Jewish men who traveled all the way from Rochester, N.Y. about being a non-Jew and trying to figure out the whole issue and trying to understand it. I was blown away the whole weekend by the friendliness that I was greeted with by everyone. Now, I'm not saying I was expecting judgment or rudeness, but it was nice to see that people understood that I was still learning a lot and was developing my own perspectives.
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has many facets. That's clear. There's land for peace. The settlements. Diaspora. Refugees. Security. The IDF. Relations with the U.S. Relations with the Arab countries. Oil. Water. Jerusalem. Temple of the Mount. Mutual recognition. A two-state solution (or…a one-state solution?). HAMAS. The Gaza strip. Lebanon (and Hezbollah). Egypt. Syria. Jordan. Iran. Nuclear power. Extremism. Violence. 1949. Gilad Shalit (and captives in general, on both sides). 1967. 1973. Oslo. Judaism. Islam. The PA. The PLO. 2006. 2008. Really, every year. Every day.
That's just a basic few. There are many, many other issues and things that connect. (But that would go into a marathon-length post that I'm not even sure I could write because I don't know enough.) It's a terribly tangled web.
I can't personally even begin to delve into it, because it's so complex. I'm not going to take a side, because there are too many complexities, and I think I have a duty as a journalist not to. But I do think, as a member of humanity, and from what I've taken from this weekend, we need to open up talks between the two parties. But that's so hard to do. How do you get two people to talk to each other who hate each other; who know what they're going to say and what they're going to disagree with; who have an indescribably long and complex history; who both, essentially, want the same thing? Can two people co-exist when neither will ever be completely happy? There's a lot of stubbornness that's pervading the air of the talks. There's a lot of emotion, a lot of betrayal, loss, tension, hatred. A lot of this has come from families, from the media, from the culture of the volatile and heated region of Palestine.
So bringing these parties together is one of the most imminent issues that our world culture is still facing, half a century later and many, many centuries in coming. It's been a conflict that's been around since as long as we have and will continue to plague the region's culture, society and politics (and abroad in all three categories as well) until we figure out a way to address this complex issue. And I'm definitely in no position to begin to start. But it's those first steps that are important. I think those steps are possible, but they need to be taken on both sides.
Leaders at the event said they believe it's possible to make progress. I think it's possible as well. I just think that it'll take a lot of strain and pain to get there. (But let's not forget I've still got a lot to learn. Therefore I fear treading on any dangerous territory until I can rightfully claim a stake or at least form something with the likeness of an opinion.)
In a film I saw at the event, one Palestinian Christian girl described the situation in East Jerusalem after she returned from a camp aimed at helping Palestinian and Israeli girls talk over their difference in an American setting — which was the focus of the film. She described how constant bombings kept her on edge, as she bravely bought coffee from a Cafe Hillel through the tumult. Palestinians are killed. Israelis are killed. It's a constant cycle of violence and unfairness, seen through this girl's eyes — and many others — that seem to make no sense at times. It's gotten out of control and the citizens of the region themselves often question what's really going on.
Can there be a road map for peace when the roads themselves are the casualties of the conflict—from congested traffic to dirt v. paved? Or when the roads themselves may not be there the next day?
"The bomb isn't gonna choose you if you're Israeli or Palestinian," the girl said. "It's just gonna explode."
I am going to stop myself before I tread down a long path into a long-winded rabbit hole about the Israel-Palestinian conflict. Phew. What I do know is that I learned a lot these past few days. And it just felt right. I found myself being drawn into each panel and feeling each guest speaker's passion about the conflict.
And aside from this (and this should NOT be the last thing I mention, because it's really what I've been thinking about the most over the trip), I've landed a great opportunity for a summer internship. For some reason I don't want to talk a lot about it. But I don't want to underestimate myself, because I know I've worked hard for it. I have trouble being open with applauding myself, because it's something I don't like to see much in others. And that's something I have to work on.
But I see people around me that work very, very hard and subsequently go very far. I know my colleagues will be successful. And this is something to reflect on. It's very humbling. And moreover, it pushes me to work hard too. Being around motivation really helps me push myself. We push each other. And I can see the results. It's really exciting, for all of us.

By Nancy Rynes, author of Awakenings from the Light
Recently, I had a reader ask this question:
I read both of your blog posts about manifesting, which were so wonderful. My question is... What if you do EVERYTHING the books, speakers, blogs, authors, motivational speaker say to do including releasing it to God and NOTHING EVER manifests for you? You watch and read about all these people manifesting wonder and amazing things and you stay stuck.
Sincerely, Losing hope and very frustrated...
I'm so sorry that things aren't working out the way you had hoped. I think that happens to pretty much everyone at one time or another. That might not make you feel better, but just know you are not alone. While I am not an expert at teaching manifesting or coaching people through roadblocks, a few things come to mind that perhaps you can think about. I'll also share some things I notice in my own life when I encounter these types of blocks.
First, stop *trying* so hard! :-) I say this with love and a sense of humor, because we humans can get so caught up on wanting things to be just the way we think they should, in the time we think they should happen. I would suggest a "manifesting-fast" for a month or so. Stop trying. Breathe. Relax. Focus on appreciating what you do have in your life right now, as small as you think that may be.
Next, look inside your heart and mind. What is your self-talk like? What inner words do you direct at others and yourself? You don't have to be perfect here, either in loving/appreciating yourself or being truly kind to others, but take this time to make some effort to be a little better. Clean up your inner negativity a bit and see if that helps. Rev. Edwene Gaines talks about a negativity fast, and you can read more about that here: Negativity Fast
Another thought that comes to mind is to focus less on yourself, what you personally have or don't have in your life, or the things you want to acquire, and instead look for ways to help others. Check out the quote and the graphic, above. When your hands are open to give, they are also open to receive. I heard that idea a long time ago, in slightly different words, and love the concept because it's been so true in my life. Help others when you can, either with time, donations of money (tithing), a smile, a small kindness, or even a friendly face. Be giving with your heart and compassion, but not out of a sense of obligation. Do it because you want to help others.
I have more ideas like this scattered throughout my book Awakenings from the Light, so if you have that available, flip through it for some ideas. Giving helps keep the flow of love and energy moving.
For myself, I tithe. I give 10% of my income to causes that I believe are doing God's work. When things seem blocked in my life, I always make sure that I have done my tithing. When the flow of energy (love, opportunities, creativity, money, kindness, etc.) is blocked, 95% of the time I haven't done my tithing. This happened just a few weeks ago in fact. It had been many weeks since I had sold an artwork and I was beginning to wonder what was going on. Then I realized I had forgotten to tithe on the last money that came in. I made my donations and I kid you not, within 2 days I sold 2 large paintings and received inquiries about 3 other paintings that may also turn into sales. I keep in mind that the money I make is ultimately God's and because of this I feel it's my responsibility to support not only myself and my family, but also those people or organizations who are doing good in service to others or our planet.
Next, ask Spirit if you are on the right path. Perhaps the roadblocks are coming into your life for a reason. Ask God, aloud, if you are on the right path, and if not, then ask to be shown what steps to take next. And I always like to add: "Make it clear and obvious to me" because sometimes I don't catch on when Spirit is trying to show me something. Wait and watch for any answers that might come, then be prepared to act.
Then when you're ready to go back to manifesting, have FuN with it! Don't make it a drudgery. Instead of reciting lists of what I want, I instead have a vision board (aka, my refrigerator!). I attach pics of what I want to attract there, out in the open where I can see it every day, and I have FUN with it. You can make a vision board on a piece of GatorBoard or cardboard, too, if you don't want to use your refrigerator. Or figure out your own, unique way to have fun visualizing your goals.
Remember to play with attracting what you want. If you make it a chore, you're sending out a negative vibe, which is exactly what you don't want. Figure out a way to make Manifesting = Play and then you'll look forward to it. For example, here in Boulder, Colorado, we received over a foot of snow last night. But I want to play with manifesting, so I'll ask God right now to send a butterfly my way, just for fun. Let's see what happens. :-)
And a Sneak Peek...

text: I'm sure this has probably happened to you: You find a website with some great information, so you bookmark it, but a few weeks later when you go back to that bookmark, the page you saved has been changed, and that info is long gone. Well, you can protect against that with Safari by saving that page as a Web archive. When you save as a Web archive, not only is the text on the page saved, but the entire page—just as you saw it (including the full layout, graphics, you name it)—is saved right along with it, so when you open the archive, even years later, the page will look exactly as you remember it. To save a page as a Web archive, just go under Safari's File menu and choose Save As. When the Save dialog appears, at the bottom (if it's not already chosen) choose Web Archive as the Format and click the Save button. To open a Web archive later, just drag-and-drop the saved file directly on Safari's icon in the Dock.

I have heard some rumors here and there. That people think that I am copying and pasting my articles here in my blog. Or not writing the content my self. What is the need of that for me to do that ? I am paying for this blog , I could have done this for free in a free publishing platform.
I am using a lot of time here to publish great content as it seems to me. So please stop this thing. I am here to be clear with them. And it is offensive to me!
Yes I agree with them in some point. Most of the Quotes are from the other people that I see over the internet. And also some pictures. And I give credits to the author or the source. But the articles are my own.
Again if there is anything else please email me here : firstname.lastname@example.com

How a Hound Dog got his Elvis
This is truly an inspiring (and, not to mention, funny) hub. And sooo true. Thank you.
This hub has gone to the dogs!
I lived in S. Carolina for awhile. My friends could never get me to go coon hunting with them. I did not want to run around in the tangled up woods full of briars and fallen logs in the middle of the night. Finally, my good buddy said, "It's not what you think."
His dad (Pappy) had at least 20 beagles, and his friends had a dozen more. We drove way out to a small clearing down an old logging road. There were logs and stumps arranged around a well used fire pit. They started a fire and let the dogs loose. We sat around drinking beer and eating sandwiches and fried chicken while the dogs ran around the woods barking like crazy. Finally, they all harmonized in a weird, excited howl. Pappy exclaimed, "They got one treed!"
They went on for about 10 minutes until Pappy blew a whistle to call them back. They rewarded the dogs with treats and water, then sent them out again. Sometimes the dogs would break into seperate groups and tree two or three racoons at a time. At the end of the fun, there were two dogs missing. They weren't worried. The dogs would make it home on their own, or a farmer would give Pappy a call when they showed up at his place. A couple of guys didn't drink much at all and they drove home.
What a cute little Hub-- thanks for the cheerful thoughts and images.
Winsome--you can see it here (Guardian Angels) (A wild call) Thanks
Loved it. 79 years ago when I was born a puppy was placed in my crib and from that day on I learned the true meaning of loyalty and love.
Thankyou for the advice to visit this hub Winsome, thoroughly enjoyed it!
It just goes to show that a picture can reveal so much. This is a beautiful hub and a perfect selection of photos. Definitely voted up. I am so pleased I found your hubs Winsome (great name by the way - you have certainly won me!)
Great Hub!! What wonderful shots. ?
I hadn't seen this Hub; thank you for pointing me in this direction. These are beautiful sentiments and compelling visuals.
Why are we humans so resistant to "getting" it from the creatures that occupy the planet with us?
very very sweet....! I love animals! their love is simply adn pure
Oh, that was many years ago. HubPages is new to me. although I've been here two years now. I used to do volunteer work for an animal shelter. I'd go there once a month, and take a puppy and kitten to a nursing home. I did that for about a year, and left when I found out two things. One, that although it was wonderful hearing their stories and seeing pictures of their beloved pets, and two, it became a bit wearing on me emotionally. One lady begged me to let her keep the puppy. She promised she'd take good care of it. I had to tell her that although I would love to oblige, it simply was not possible. It broke my heart. The whole experience was very rewarding though, to see the delight in their eyes when I showed up and everyone clamoring to get to hold the pets.
It's something I think I could do again, since I also have an affinity for our senior citizens.
I loved this! I especially like the first photo, and the one of the little dog and baby looking out the window.
As a lover of all things feathered and furry, this brought back many memories of all the dogs I have owned. Each one unique, of course.
The last dog I had was a pit bull, whose name was Chaz. What a character! Not only was he a loving affectionate dog, he was also a rascal! I still have visions of him running through my yard. One day, he comes running to me with a garden rake in his mouth. Another time, I found him trying to chew off the rainspouts.
Most of all, I had two computers side by side and two chairs. I'd sit at my computer, he'd hop into the chair next to me, and lay his big ole head on my arm.
I miss having dogs. Since I've had to move/downsize, I am no longer in a place where a dog could just run free. If and when I retire, I will probably get one. All the dogs I've owned were rescues, and what wonderful loving animals they were :)
I love this hub, the pictures are gorgeous,the words awesome and the videos are just magic. Was feeling a little low now feel good factor is high thank you.
dis ams da greatest hub I haves ever read dis week. and you're right, a dog is a gift dat keeps on giving. (oh noes, Marley and Me....dat totally maded me cry)
Another awesome post. I'm an animal lover and have always been struck by my dogs' unconditional love. Thanks for being bold and sharing your post.
:) so sweet..
A unique hub that made me smile. Thank You.
Less words with great messages. You make me smile at every photo. Well, the dogs are really a man's best friends. Congratulations for featuring these unsung heroes of the world.
Many a smile and a belly-laugh or two as well! Thanks for the wonderful pix and captions.
Love and peace
I like to believe that they have an great memory (short and long term) and are just loving and forgiving animals. I think their simple lives could teach us a few good lessons. (and you look really cute when you blush) :)
Only you could explain unconditional love so well with these wonderful photos. I love the newborn on the dog. Love, trust and peace between the two. Awesome. Thanks for a hub that leaves me smiling. :)
Words almost fail me, in describing this beautiful hub. As they say, "a picture speaks louder than words," and you really chose the right pictures to express each statement. Very well written. In the vernacular of today, " Winsome, you rock." I'll be back for more.
Very, very nice- thanks!
Your hub is precious, it gave me a smile.
Oh my goodness! This got me teary eyed with happiness. What perfect perfect photos you've found here and such wonderful captions. That tilted wine glass by the way is just fantastic! I want one. That's a must find. Cute. I wonder what type of drink is in there. hmmm. Thanks for getting me over here. This hub really made my day. =D
Great pictures (I enjoyed the humor) so I enjoyed this hub.
What a lovely, feel good hub. These pictures are worth a million. Thanks!!
omgsh...glorious hub! haha it totally made me laugh and your captions were wonderful. good job! rating you UP.
I love them all, but particularly the dog eating the sofa. Funny, happy stuff!
Some great photos. You brought many smiles to my face.
Many thanks,
Aahhhhhh I love our dogs we now have a new edition to our family a third Cocker Spaniel this is a touching hub I am going to go outside and hug our pets, thank you! :)
So few words and yet it says so much. Thankyou for expressing this is such a great way.

We are extremely happy to be supporting one of our clients, Newham New Deal Partnership, in their application to the Aviva Community Fund. They are applying for vital funds to keep their effective and beneficial @Online Clubs running in the New Year.
Newham New Deal Partnership is a charity established in 2004, with their roots in community development and regeneration. Since 2014 they have focused solely on creating real change and improvement in the community through providing service to older and isolated people struggling with exclusion and isolation.
With the support of the community and an initial small local grant they could set up these digital inclusion clubs at two locations. The @Online Clubs provide training on iPads and tablets to help the older generation interact and socialise with family and friends online, as well as complete day to day tasks such as registering for council services and paying bills.
Newham New Deal Partnership's local grant has ended and therefore the Aviva Community Fund is vital to the ongoing success of the @Online Clubs. The funds will allow the @Online Clubs to continue past Christmas.
Newham NDP approached us, aware that Insurance brokers can support applications, and we are very pleased that we could help with marketing support and guidance to help promote their bid.
So please follow the link below and vote for Newham NDP! It takes about 2 minutes to register, confirm your email address and provide Newham NDP's @Online Clubs with 10 vital votes!

Iditarod Here We Come
A Yellow Weed Inspires Us – Poetry Inspired
Today the children in the third grade wrote a poem using a mentor text by Lilian Moore whose title Yellow Weed. the children listened as I read the poem which is one created with a sense of an echo. The poem is an ode which comes from the early Greeks, meaning to sing. In this poem through asking questions one is taken on a journey of the seed, singing to it high praises.
How did you get here,
Who brought your seed?
Did it lift
on the wind and
and drift
from a far and yellow
Was your seed a burr that
clung to a
furry tail?
Did it fly with a
who liked to feed
on the tasty
of the yellow
How did you come?
One student who lead us in our sharing of our writing was Tristen Cuthbert. Tristen's poem was written to
Snow White, or white snow.
How did you get here?
How did you get here
Did you drift from the sky
and go past the clouds,
and wave
on by?
Did you blow all over
and cover our world?
Did you come from up high?
I bet you tossed, twirled,
and swirled.
Did you come from heaven?
Did you fly like in a flurry?
Did you come to our world
making everything look blurry?

Twenty-First Literacies
Today I took part in an online presentation given by Troy Hicks who has written three books which you can find at Barnes and Noble, Amazon, or Stenhouse. It was awesome in that it outlined the 21st literacies that are not emphasized in the Common Core but are the essence of what is required of learning to reach the goals of the Common Core. These digital literacies includes web-based writing which includes blogs, wikis, and web pages; digital presentations, audio text presentations, video text presentations, and social media presentations. This is a book for all educators as teachers and learners in a global community. As we open access of education to all learners, we must help students create in deliberate ways. Think of the students addressing your topic through creations of their own, links of their own, which add to their narratives, their voice, and their opinions with direct evidence from the text you select as well as from the text they select. This is education that offers meaning studies for all. The open education perspective must allow multiple types of devices, in ways that allow learning to take place beyond the traditional boundaries.

Aaron Carter Posts A Photo Of His Bare Butt — Pulls A Justin Bieber — PIC
Well, that's quite a view! Aaron Carter decided to share a photo of his bare butt on Instagram– was he inspired by Justin Bieber? See the pic!
Good morning, California! Aaron Carter, 27, took to his Instagram on Nov. 3 to say howdy to the world, by showing us all his naked butt! Hands to the sky, facing the gorgeous scenery, we have to say Aaron's picture is giving us some serious Justin Bieber butt flashbacks! Take a look for yourself!
Aaron shared the revealing photo on his Instagram, captioning the practically Jesus-like pic with "Rise and shine." He added some hashtags, too, for good measure. "#HomeSweetHome #workhardplayhard." See the post in its amazing entirety below!
Uh, so we're just not going to address your butt then, Aaron? No? Okay then!
Something else Aaron neglected to mention in the pic is how similar it is to Justin's now infamous butt shot! Back in July, while vacationing in some gorgeous, tropical paradise, Justin, 21, gifted us all with the most glorious photo of his bare backside. Under any other circumstance, the absolutely breathtaking scenery would have been attention-grabbing. However, here, it's quite clear that the only thing taking our breath away is Justin's tushy.
But anyways, back to the tushy at hand: Aaron's! Aaron also geotagged the picture with Malibu, California, because of course he did. It's been a while since we've heard from Aaron, so we definitely appreciate him getting our attention this way. Feel free to keep on sharing, Aaron! We will continue to express our most sincere gratitude in return.
What do you guys think of Aaron's very revealing Instagram? Is he being funny, or was it a total TMI? And, more importantly, do you think Aaron was influenced by The Biebs?

U.S. Developers Land Deal in Dubai
Real-Estate Project Valued At $800 Million Reflects Western Interest in Emirate
DUBAI -- In what would be the largest Western investment in Dubai, a U.S.-owned firm will build an $800 million real-estate development in the emirate, in a deal to be announced today.
Capital Partners FZ LLC, a closely held company run by two Americans, moved its headquarters to Dubai three years ago, when the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, had soured U.S. perceptions of investing in the region. Since then, Chief Executive Jonathan Wride has been negotiating the legal framework for Dubai River Walk, an office-and-residential development....

"What I have to admit is that I don't know what I'm doing," director Francis Ford Coppola says during the making of Apocalypse Now in the late 1970s. It was a private comment, recorded without his knowledge by his wife, Eleanor.
She was amid her own project, a documentary about the making of this monumental war movie. Her footage from locations in the Philippines, plus contemporary interviews with Coppola and others who were involved, is the basis of Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse, being shown on public TV's summer series P.O.V.
It is a highly dramatic exploration of a film gone out of control, shepherded by a director who fears the worst. The jovial Coppola captured by his wife's jiggly camera some times seems at odds with the private man, confessing his doubts. The fictionalized movie about the terrible Vietnam War had a harmful effect on the director and others creating it. Some critics have said Coppola's work has never been the same.
This documentary parallels Burden of Dreams, about the jungle perils faced by director Werner Herzog in the making of Fitzcarraldo. Mortgaging his house to make Apocalypse Now, Coppola maintains unshakable faith in the project, even after its star, Martin Sheen, has a serious heart attack on location.
Shooting begins in the Philippines in 1976. President Ferdinand Marcos lets Coppola use Filipino helicopters for battle scenes. But with rebel forces threatening the country's security, Marcos takes back the helicopters when he needs them, regardless of the movie's production schedule. Coppola's film is stopped in its tracks.
Naturally, there are cost overruns. A typhoon and rains destroy sets in the jungle. Production shuts down for two months until the weather cooperates.
Most fascinating are the contemporary interviews with Coppola and his actors Sheen, Dennis Hopper, Sam Bottoms, Robert Duvall, Larry Fishburne and humorous Frederic Forrest. With the perspective of time and age, these men look back on the project with mixed feelings.

All Films.All Above Board.NOW INCLUDES TV SHOWS & TV LISTINGS
Jacques Rivette's elusive, disquieting drama that many considered to herald his second wind as one of the great French filmmakers. The plot concerns a number of drama students who encounter the same mysterious man, who tells them each a different story about a friend in danger. The inherent theatricality of the drama students plays into the film's aura of unresolved menace, where conspiracy is so pervasive that it is essentially invisible. The film intentionally creates an air of mystery and paranoia designed to leave the viewer unsettled and grasping for explanations.
