- Last Night
Moby recently mentioned in a journal entry[7] on his website that the track "Disco Lies" from Last Night appears in the new film Cloverfield. The song is played at Rob's farewell party and on the Cloverfield Mix. - The Last Dance
The Last Dance is the McLane family's story about learning to "swim in the deep end of the lake" when the woman they all love best, their matriarch, Susan 'Susie' McLane, slips away, one day at a time, to Alzheimer's disease. Currently in New Hampshire, twenty thousand people have Alzheimer's, touching the lives of families all across the state. Susan has led a public life, serving those families for twenty-five years in the New Hampshire Legislature. - The Last Samurai
The Last Samurai is about the relationship between a young boy, Ludo, and his mother, Sibylla. Sibylla, a single mother, brings Ludo up somewhat unusually; he starts playing the piano at three, reading Ancient Greek at four, and goes on to Hebrew, Japanese, Old Norse, Inuit, and advanced mathematics. To stand in for a male influence in his upbringing, Sibylla plays him Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai, which he comes to know by heart. Ludo is a child prodigy, whose combination of genius and naïveté guide him in a search for his missing father, whose identity Sibylla refuses to disclose — a search that has some peculiar byways and unexpected consequences. - James Last
James Last has been the first name in easy listening for the past four decades, entertaining audiences across the world with his unique orchestral take on modern popular music. This 2CD collection celebrates some of the best known work from the ‘Gentleman Of Music’. - Last Days
The Last Days of the Incas is among the most powerful and important accounts of the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire, of the modern search for the Incas’ lost Amazonian capital of Vilcabamba, and of the discovery of Machu Picchu. In 1911 an American historian from Yale University, Hiram Bingham, stumbled upon a spectacular set of Inca ruins called Machu Picchu, set high upon a ridge in the cloud forest of Peru. Bingham had been searching for a lost Inca city called Vilcabamba—a legendary capital in the Amazon rainforest from which the Incas had conducted a nearly four-decades-long guerrilla war. Spanish renegades had taught the Incas how to ride European horses and to use European weapons and guns and the Incas nearly succeeded in wiping Francisco Pizarro and his conquistadors out. But was Machu Picchu really the Incas’ long lost guerrilla capital? Or did Vilcabamba still lie somewhere in the jungle—a lost Inca city waiting to be discovered? - Last Days -- Characters
Last Days ... features two original compositions by lead actor Michael Pitt, an acoustic song entitled "Death to Birth", an electric jam called "That Day", as well as another piece, "Untitled", by fellow actor Lukas Haas. The character of Scott listens to "Venus in Furs" by the Velvet Underground in the living room scene. Blake, in one lengthy sequence, absently watches a music video for the song, "On Bended Knee" by the band Boyz II Men on a television. Incidentally the Velvet Underground's "Venus In Furs" features a lyric that refers to the line, "On Bended Knee". Pitt's character is also shown writing with his left hand but playing guitar right-handed, in contrast to Cobain's left-handed guitar playing. - The Last Samurai -- Nathan Algren
More than anything else, The Last Samurai pays homage to the film legacy of Akira Kurosawa, which served as Zwick’s model, particularly Seven Samurai. Algren, a lost soul, goes to Japan to train the new Imperial Army in the use of modern weapons, for which he receives a good sum of money. But instead of money, what he finds when captured by his enemy, Katsumoto (Ken Watanabe), the samurai leader, is a much more valuable commodity — his soul. It is this personal story between Algren and Katsumoto, interwoven within the detail and scope of a rapidly changing culture that is mindful of Kurosawa’s work. - Fermat's Last Theorem -- Problems
The solution of Fermat's Last Theorem is the most important mathematical development of the 20th century. In 1963 a schoolboy browsing in his local library stumbled across the world's greatest mathematical problem: Fermat's Last Theorem, a puzzle that every child can understand but which has baffled mathematicians for over 300 years. Aged just ten, Andrew Wiles dreamed that he would crack it. Wiles's lifelong obsession with a seemingly simple challenge set by a long-dead Frenchman is an emotional tale of sacrifice and extraordinary determination. In the end, Wiles was forced to work in secrecy and isolation for seven years, harnessing all the power of modern maths to achieve his childhood dream. Many before him had tried and failed, including an 18th-century philanderer who was killed in a duel. An 18th-century Frenchwoman made a major breakthrough in solving the riddle, but she had to attend maths lectures at the Ecole Polytechnique disguised as a man since women were forbidden entry to the school. - Fermat's Last Theorem -- Proof
Fermat's Last Theorem was until recently the most famous unsolved problem in mathematics. In the mid-17th century Pierre de Fermat wrote that no value of n greater than 2 could satisfy the equation " xn + yn = zn," where n, x, y and z are all integers. He claimed that he had a simple proof of this theorem, but no record of it has ever been found. Ever since that time, countless professional and amateur mathematicians have tried to find a valid proof (and wondered whether Fermat really ever had one). Then in 1994, Andrew Wiles of Princeton University announced that he had discovered a proof while working on a more general problem in geometry. - The Last Picture Show -- Duane Moore
The three principal characters in The Last Picture Show are graduating high school seniors preparing to make their way in the world. They are Sonny Crawford (Timothy Bottoms), a naïve boy who always seems to come out second man on the totem pole; Duane Jackson (Jeff Bridges), a handsome but unfocused guy who has invested too much into a relationship with one girl; and Jacy Farrrow (Cybill Shepherd), a master manipulator whose wealth, good looks, and sexual curiosity allow her to acquire any boy she wants and discard him when she gets bored.
