1999 film by Oliver Stone
POPULARITY
The Godfather 1 & 2, Any Given Sunday Rush Hour 2I just read on impactful book called : Hollywood Godfather: My Life in the Movies & The Mob! I read it cover to cover because it was intense & fascinating.Actor Gianni Russo has led an intriguing life.Gianni Russo was a handsome 25-year-old mobster with no acting experience when he walked onto the set of The Godfather and entered Hollywood history. He played Carlo Rizzi, the husband of Connie Corleone, who set her brother Sonny—played by James Caan—up for a hit. Russo didn't have to act—he knew the mob inside and out: from his childhood in Little Italy, where Mafia legend Frank Costello took him under his wing.Along the way, Russo befriended Frank Sinatra, who became his son's godfather, and Marlon Brando, who mentored his career as an actor after trying to get Francis Ford Coppola to fire him from The Godfather. Russo had passionate affairs with Marilyn Monroe, Liza Minelli, and scores of other celebrities. He went on to become a producer and starred in The Godfather: Parts I and II, Seabiscuit, Any Given Sunday and Rush Hour 2, among many other films.Hollywood Godfather is a no-holds-barred account of a life filled with violence, glamour, sex—and fun.Gianni Russo Wines launched nationally in 2009. And he has an expanded product line coming out this year.Born in Manhattan and raised in Little Italy and Staten Island, Russo overcame polio as a child to start his first “business” at the tender age of twelve, selling pens and erasers on the street corners. At eighteen Russo made his first trip to Miami, where he began to dabble in show-business, working in nightclubs and hotspots before deciding to pursue acting and move to Hollywood.His Book: Hollywood Godfather: My Life in the Movies & the Mob is an eye-opening read.All Rights Reserved © 2025© 2025 Building Abundant Success!!Join Me on ~ iHeart Media @ https://tinyurl.com/iHeartBASSpot Me on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/yxuy23baAmazon Music ~ https://tinyurl.com/AmzBASAudacy: https://tinyurl.com/BASAud

In this episode of Shark Theory, Baylor Barbee dives into the critical concept of understanding and leveraging life's incremental steps to achieve substantial success. Drawing a parallel from Al Pacino's iconic speech in "Any Given Sunday," Baylor illustrates the importance of recognizing the small but significant "inches" in life. Whether it's a matter of winning in sports or succeeding in personal endeavors, knowing your target's dimensions is vital. The focus here is on precision and defining clear objectives to effectively measure progress and reap success. Continuing with a personal observation from a pro golf tournament, Baylor emphasizes how close shots—or minor setbacks—can shift the game's outcome significantly. By striving for personal excellence with a clear end in mind, anyone can navigate life's challenges with purpose. The episode delves into strategic thinking, urging listeners to visualize their "hole" or end goal and methodically work backward to plot their course to success. This targeted approach aids in consistently recognizing and acting on these small yet impactful steps. Key Takeaways: Understand Your Goal: Know exactly what you're aiming for in life to effectively measure progress. Appreciate Small Steps: Recognize the significance of daily inch-by-inch progress towards larger objectives. Work Backwards from Your Target: Define your ultimate goal and plan your path strategically to meet it efficiently. Embrace Consistency: Daily effort, small improvements, and disciplined actions are crucial in reaching any long-term goal. Build a Strong Foundation: Just like constructing a wall, success is achieved one "brick," or decision, at a time. Notable Quotes: "Football, like life, is a game of inches." "In your life, in your career, the whole goal is to reach whatever you deem that hole." "You have what it takes to win. You have what it takes to reach the levels that you want to reach." "Know what your end game is. Start to ask yourself, what are the little inches?" "It's those little bitty inches that make all the difference in the world."

Diaz explains what made her say yes to Back in Action after a 10-year hiatus from acting, shares why the prospect of re-teaming with Foxx (who she previously co-starred with in Any Given Sunday and Annie) played a big role in her decision, and describes why she was excited for the physical challenge of playing Emily.

As the Eagles prepare to host Green Bay in a Wild Card matchup at the Linc, we welcome Phil Stiefel of Trending In The AM back onto the #VetLine to talk gameplan, and the Eagles path to New Orleans. Rested, ready, and most importantly, healthy, the Eagles are the superior team on paper, but as the saying goes: "Any Given Sunday". This Sunday, a wounded Packers team comes to town to try and upset the Birds, who boast the league's top defensive unit and rushing champion, Saquon Barkley. Jalen Hurts will be back under center to lead the way, as he tries to bounce back quick from his 3-week layoff. Coming in as 5-point home favorites, the number two seed Eagles have high expectations among fans and inside their own building. In the two franchise's history, they have met 3 times in the postseason, all in Philadelphia, with the Eagles holding the 2-1 advantage, including the 1960 NFL Championship Game. Segments include: VetPhact, VetLine, Vet Alumni Playoff Picks. Courtesy of the Vet Alumni Members Association (VAMA)

What happens when the acclaimed and idiosyncratic director of JFK, Natural Born Killers, and The Doors attempts to direct a conventional sports drama about his favorite sport? Multiple Oscar-winner Oliver Stone showed us back in December 1999 that the result would be clearly anything BUT conventional! And he had quite the cast for this epic tail of a few weeks in the life of the fictional Miami Sharks, a professional football team at a crossroads. They have a hot-headed new owner (Cameron Diaz) trying in to rein their beleaguered veteran coach (Al Pacino) and have also just lost their veteran quarterback (Dennis Quaid) to a severe injury so they have to replace him with a third string quarterback (Jamie Foxx) with something to prove. And what results is a wild 160 minutes of big budget football insanity jam-packed with game-related violence, debauchery, and VERY loud arguments! Also included in this stacked cast are James Woods, LL Cool J, Jim Brown, Aaron Eckhart, Matthew Modine, John C. McGinley, Lela Rochon, Lawrence Taylor, Elizabeth Berkley, AND the late great Charlton Heston. :) It's time to make a run for the Pantheon Cup....Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a texthttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

The Godfather I & II , Seabiscuit, Any Given Sunday Rush Hour 2Gianni's impactful book called : Hollywood Godfather: My Life in the Movies & The Mob! I read it cover to cover because it was intense & fascinating.Actor Gianni Russo has led an intriguing life. The Movie The Godfather was young Gianni's debut as an actor.The Godfather is regarded as one of the greatest and most influential films ever made, as well as a landmark of the gangster genre. It was selected for preservation in the U.S. National Film Registry of the Library of Congress in 1990, being deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" and is ranked the second-greatest film in American cinema (behind Citizen Kane) by the American Film Institute.Gianni Russo was a Mid- Twenties handsome mobster with no acting experience when he walked onto the set of The Godfather and entered Hollywood history. He played Carlo Rizzi, the husband of Connie Corleone, who set her brother Sonny—played by James Caan—up for a hit. Russo didn't have to act—he knew the mob inside and out: from his childhood in Little Italy, where Mafia legend Frank Costello took him under his wing.Along the way, Russo befriended Frank Sinatra, who became his son's godfather, and Marlon Brando, who mentored his career as an actor after trying to get Francis Ford Coppola to fire him from The Godfather. Russo had passionate affairs with Marilyn Monroe, Liza Minelli, and scores of other celebrities. He went on to become a producer and starred in The Godfather: Parts I and II, Seabiscuit, Any Given Sunday and Rush Hour 2, among many other films.Hollywood Godfather is a no-holds-barred account of a life filled with violence, glamour, sex—and fun.Gianni Russo Wines launched nationally in 2009. And he has an expanded product line coming out this year.Born in Manhattan and raised in Little Italy and Staten Island, Russo overcame polio as a child to start his first “business” at the tender age of twelve, selling pens and erasers on the street corners. At eighteen Russo made his first trip to Miami, where he began to dabble in show-business, working in nightclubs and hotspots before deciding to pursue acting and move to Hollywood.His Book: Hollywood Godfather: My Life in the Movies & the Mob is an eye-opening read.All Rights Reserved © 2024© 2024 Building Abundant Success!!Join Me on ~ iHeart Media @ https://tinyurl.com/iHeartBASSpot Me on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/yxuy23baAmazon Music ~ https://tinyurl.com/AmzBASAudacy: https://tinyurl.com/BASAud

Buckle up, listeners, as we kick things off with a freestyle that'll get your nostalgia engines revving! We take a stroll down memory lane, hitting up the classic tracks of LL Cool J and New Edition that might just have you confessing your long-lost loves. It's a riot of laughs as we spar over who's got the darkest tan and draw laughable parallels to legends like Michael Jordan, all while trading some light-hearted gym jibes.Then it's time to suit up in your throwback jerseys as we dish out tribute to the gridiron greats, from the silver screen's "Any Given Sunday" to the Arizona Cardinals' real-life MVP, Kurt Warner. Revel in the retelling of Warner's rise from grocery clerk to NFL legend, and tackle the conversation on how football gear and rules have evolved for the safety of the sport. Whether you're reminiscing about past glories or pondering the future of football, this huddle is the perfect blend of nostalgia and knowledge.Lastly, we shift gears to the car culture of yore and the sneaker scenes that had us all in a frenzy. Remember when a Subaru was the ultimate safety statement and a pair of Jordans the ultimate status symbol? We're hitting the rewind button on those days, cruising past the car sound systems that boomed through our adolescence and the sneaker ads that sold us dreams. And before we park this ride, we navigate the tricky terrain of teacher-student relationships post-graduation—with a mix of candid insight and humor that only we can deliver. Join us for this joyride through the past, present, and the personal corners of our lives.Thanks for listening to the Nobody's Talking Podcast.

Episode Highlights: Almost not making it to NFL NFL's fastest man, 2024/25 MVP? Mahomes locker room vs Tua's Relationship with Andy Reid Inside the Miami Dolphins & leadership Response to personal rumors & headlines Finding Faith in family & marriage 8x pro bowler, Super Bowl champion and the fastest man in the NFL, Tyreek Hill sits down with Ryan, Channing and Fred to reflect on being the highest paid receiver, going from juco to the pros, leaving Kansas City to play for the Miami Dolphins, restoring his faith to get back to football and how his marriage is in fact his strength, despite rumored headlines. Calling himself the Kat Williams of wide receivers but known as Cheetah to the football world, Tyreek Hill prides himself in being an open book and sometimes too open but he's always going to speak his truth. Tyreek shares what his life was like as a child, the bumpy road to the NFL, almost losing football and how one bad decision can cost you everything. On pace to do record breaking numbers at the start of this past season, no one was catching Tyreek with his speed and electric route running which had him in the MVP conversation until injury slowed him up but he learned how to play through the pain to stay on the field. The Dolphins were front runners to win a tough AFC East and their on and off the field success documented in HBO's Hard Knocks in-season show. Despite falling short to his former team this season, Tyreek still believes the Dolphins were the better team over the Chiefs but fell victim to the “Any Given” Sunday theory that any team can rise to the occasion any week. Tyreek talks about playing with Mahomes and Travis Kelce, describes the locker room in KC vs the one in Miami now, why he believes the Dolphins are on the rise, praises Jalen Waddle and their offensive weapons and never forgets that he owes a lot to Andy Reid for the player and man he is today. Bad decisions in college resulted in minimum exposure early on and little opportunity to show his skills early making his path seem unlikely, until Tyreek's life changed with one phone call to be drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs which led to him being a household name, feared by defenses and ultimately as Super Bowl champion. Looking up to Randy Moss and admiring Antonio Brown as the best in his position, Tyreek's mindset has always been the same, to be the most dynamic player on the NFL field every week. Not allowing personal distractions interfere with his career aspirations, Tyreek has turned to faith and focusing on being the leader of the team as a trusted voice to younger guys as well as become the protector of his teammates. Fred stirs the pot to give Tyreek a chance to explain his social media banter with RC after Ryan made some comments on Tua early in the season, and the guys have fun with it but also get into what kind of player and leader Tua is striving to be. Channing couldn't let Tyreek go without asking him to weigh in on his former KC pals, how his relationship has changed with Kelce and Mahomes and if he ever saw Travis dating Taylor Swift and his answer is not going to get him canceled! Before the fame, the man people know as cheetah today, grew up in Pearson, Georgia raised by his grandparents, Tyreek grew up in the church serving either playing the drums or praising dancing. Those early moments of his life in church instilled his love of God and faith, which later helped him transcend throughout his career. From being a newlywed to divorce rumors to parental headlines to his family home catching on fire making national news, Tyreek knows he is constantly under the microscope and relies on the continued support of his wife, grandparents and kids to tune out the noise and let his play do the talking.
