Harvey S. Firestone would have celebrated his 150th birthday this Dec. 20.

National Inventors Hall of Fame Inductee Harvey S. Firestone, founder for the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, would have celebrated his 150^th birthday this Dec. 20.

Firestone’s company served as a major industry leader, and his development of the pneumatic tire created a partnership with another industry leader, Henry Ford.

Henry Ford saw the impact pneumatic tires could have on automobiles at the time, and immediately began installing them on his cars built in the Ford Motor Co. plant.

On Dec. 20, celebrate Harvey Firestone’s 150^th birthday and his improvements to the tires we use every day!

Jake Gyllenhaal to star in Netflix adaptation of THE HELICOPTER HEIST (May 28) by Jonas Bonnier

On September 23, 2009, the world was captivated as four men in a helicopter broke through the roof of a highly secure cash depot in Sweden and flew off with millions in stolen cash. Based on his extensive interviews with the robbers – who up until now have refused to speak publicly – Jonas Bonnier’s THE HELICOPTER HEIST (May 28, 2019

With rights already sold in over 30 territories and an upcoming Netflix adaptation starring (and produced by) Jake Gyllenhaal, with the Oscar-nominated Steven Knight to write the script, this thrilling novel with a heartfelt core is perfect for fans of movies like Ocean’s 11 and The Italian Job. 

With Bonnier’s engaging writing and sincere portrayals of the real-life robbers, readers won’t be able to help rooting for the four to pull it off:  Former petty thief and family man Sami; Niklas, who was recently released from prison; the stoic, imperturbable Michel, whose family fled a bloody civil war in Lebanon; and Zoran, an ambitious businessman who seems to know everyone in the criminal underbelly of the city.

Bonnier skillfully builds THE HELICOPTER HEIST to an incredible tension as the men prepare for the robbery and use every possible trick to throw off police. After months of planning, overcoming every seemingly insurmountable obstacle, everything is in place when the planned day finally arrives. No one should get hurt, and soon they should all be set for life.  But as the stolen Bell 206 Jet Ranger hovers over the rooftop, hidden from the light of dozens of police cars, too many unanswered questions still hang in the air – questions that could ruin everything.

The real-life robbery changed the course of Swedish history, as it pushed the country towards its continuing efforts to phase out cash completely.

MAPPLETHORPE en cines el 1ro de Marzo 2019

MAPPLETHORPE

Starring Matt Smith

Directed by Ondi Timoner

Robert Mapplethorpe is arguably one of the most important artists of the 20th century. Mapplethorpe discovered himself both sexually and artistically in New York City throughout the 70’s and 80’s. The film depicts Mapplethorpe’s life from moments before he and Patti Smith moved into the famed Chelsea hotel, home to a world of bohemian chic. Here, he begins photographing its inhabitants and his new found circle of friends including artists and musicians, socialites, film stars, and members of the S&M underground.  Mapplethorpe’s work displayed eroticism in a way that had never been examined nor displayed before to the public. Exploring the intersection of his art, his sexuality and his struggle for mainstream recognition, MAPPLETHORPE offers a nuanced portrait of an artist at the height of his craft and of the self-destructive impulses that threaten to undermine it all.
