Excel 2007 – Alan Cathcart – Longview, WA
At first it is confusing to find your way around in the multitude of subjects, but after a while it becomes easier. The navigation in the book is the hardest.
excel 2007 for dummies – G. Sorrells –
I have found this book to be useful for me. I refer to it often and it is written so that I can understand it.

I’ve had this book for at least a year and finally need to use it now. I’m testing for Excel 2007 certification and this book will help me to study all of the functions. Whoever said it is too simplistic is wrong. Look at the later chapters! There are chapters teaching about pivot tables, hyperlinks and macros, and managing/manipulating data lists. This isn’t the simple stuff in my opinion. I’m glad I already have the book to get me up to speed for the certification. If I pass the exam on the first try, I’ll come back to add that to my review. 3M: One look at Excel 2007, with its new Office Button, Quick Access toolbar, and Ribbon, and you realize you’re not in Kansas anymore. Well, have no fear— Excel 2007 for Dummies is here!

If you’ve never worked with a computer spreadsheet, or if you’ve had some experience with earlier versions of Excel but need help transitioning, here you’ll find everything you need to create, edit, format, and print your own worksheets (without sacrificing your sanity!). Excel 2007 for Dummies covers all the fundamental techniques, concentrating on only the easiest, most user-friendly ways to get things done.

You’ll discover how to:

• Rearrange, delete and insert new information
• Keep track of and organize data in a single worksheet
• Transfer data between the sheets of different workbooks
• Create a chart using the data in a worksheet
• Add hyperlinks and graphics to worksheets
• And more!

Plus, in keeping with Excel 2007’s more graphical and colorful look, Excel 2007 for Dummies has taken on some color of its own, with full-color plates in the mid-section of the book illustrating exactly what you’ll see on your screen. Whether you read it from cover to cover or skip to the sections that answer your specific questions, the simple guidance in this book will have you excelling at home or in the office no time.

Microsoft Office Excel 2007 Formulas & Functions For Dummies If you are a dummy…..skip this! – Rizzo – Denver, CO
First, don’t make a mistake with the Excel Books for Dummies. This book is about formulas & functions; it is NOT the original Excel for Dummies that demonstrates the fundamentals. This is for some serious formulating and functioning.

Second, if you can follow through and understand this book on formulas & functions, you may not be a dummy. A dummy would not understand book; it is clearly for the more advanced.

The book is black and white; no colorful graphics, there are few small icons through that identify a tip, warning, remember, and technical stuff. Periodically there are cartoons throughout the book.

The visuals of computer spreadsheets do help a little, but the view is light and often too small.

The book is divided into five sections, with several chapters within each section. Part 1 is Putting the Fun in Functions (I can’t ever see fun with functions). Part II is counting On Your Money. Part III is Doing the Math, and this can get fairly advanced. Part IV is Working with Data (this is dates, time, database, etc.

This book consists of over 340 pages, and if you already have a great knowledge about formulas and functions, it may work for you. If you are a dummy, and require more visuals, forget this book. MzRizz

O Brother, Where Art Thou? [VHS] [UK Import] Abgedrehte Hommage an die 30er und die Odyssee – Melville –
Coen-Filme sind entweder Hit oder Miss, d.h. entweder sie gefallen einem sehr oder eben gar nicht. Ein Mittelding ist nicht möglich, dafür sind ihr Humor zu speziell, ihre Inszenierung zu unkonventionell. Dessen sollte man sich vorher bewusst sein. Wer also noch keinen Film der Coen-Brüder kennt und sich diesen aufgrund der vielen positiven Rezensionen anschaffen möchte, sollte Vorsicht walten lassen, Geschmäcker sind eben verschieden. Coen-Kenner können wie sonst auch ohne Bedenken zugreifen, das geniale Regie- und Autorengespann liefert seit nunmehr zwei Jahrzehnten einen gelungenen Film nach dem anderen ab. Auch “O Brother Where Art Thou?” enttäuscht nicht.

Kurz zur Story. Drei Knasthäftlinge flüchten, es folgt eine Odyssee durch die Südstaaten. Sie begegnen u.a. dem Teufel, einem Gitarristen mit dem sie zusammen eine Hitsingle aufnehmen, dem berüchtigten Babyface Nelson, einem einäugigen Bibelverkäufer, dem Ku-Klux-Clan und drei verführerischen Sirenen. Klingt abgedreht, ist es auch. Eine irre Wendung folgt der anderen.

Kongenial eingearbeitet ist der tolle 30er-Jahre-Soundtrack, er erklingt nicht nur im Hintergrund, oft singen die Charaktere selbst. Von “Man Of Constant Sorrow” bis “You Are My Sunshine”, viele Klassiker sind dabei. Wunderbar!

In den Hauptrollen brillieren vor allem Turturro und George Clooney, ihren Darstellungen (vor allem Clooney herrlich over-the-top) zuzusehen, ist ein Riesenspaß. Verschwenderisch gut besetzt sind ebenso die Nebenrollen, beispielsweise mit John Goodman oder Helen Hunt.

Nicht auf Augenhöhe mit The Big Lebowski, aber welcher Film ist das schon? O Brother Where Art Thou ist eine weitere, wunderbar verschrobene Komödie der Coen-Brüder, inszeniert mit viel Liebe zum Detail, tollen Darstellern und einem wunderbaren Soundtrack.

Nicht auf Augenhöhe mit The Big Lebowski, aber welcher Film ist das schon? O Brother Where Art Thou ist eine weitere, wunderbar verschrobene Komödie der Coen-Brüder, inszeniert mit viel Liebe zum Detail, tollen Darstellern und einem wunderbaren Soundtrack. : Nur Joel und Ethan Coen, das brüderliche Produzenten- und Regisseurteam hinter Art-Movie-Hits wie “The Big Lebowski” oder Fargo und Meister der schrulligen und ultrastilistischen Genreuntergrabung, konnten sich trauen, die Handlung von Homers Odyssee für eine komische Schelmensaga über drei Knastbrüder auf der Flucht im Mississippi der 30er-Jahre zu klauen.

Bei unserem herumirrenden Helden handelt es sich in diesem Fall um einen gewissen Ulysses Everett McGill, ein cleveres Bürschchen mit flottem Mundwerk und Pomadenfimmel (George Clooney, der sein eigenes gepflegtes Image ungeniert verulkt), der seine Knast-Kumpels (Coen-Stammgast John Turturro und Newcomer Tim Blake Nelson) überredet, sich auf die Suche nach einer verbuddelten Beute zu begeben, von deren Existenz er zu wissen behauptet. Unterwegs begegnen sie einem prophetischen Blinden auf einem Eisenbahnwaggon, einem kräftigen, einäugigen Schurken (der stets umwerfende John Goodman), einem sexy Damengesangstrio, einem Bluesgitarristen, der seine Seele an den Teufel verkauft hat, einem gaunerhaften Politikerduo auf Wahlkampftournee, einem manisch-depressiven Bankräuber, und — naja, Sie wissen schon.

In diesem, ihrem bisher zwanglosesten Film haben die Coens ein betörendes Sammelsurium aus irrelevanten Situationen, eine Fülle von bizarren Dialogen und jede Menge Gags sowohl verbaler als auch optischer Art geworfen. O Brother (der Titel stammt aus Preston Sturges’ Komödienklassiker “Sullivan’s Travels” von 1941) wird darüber hinaus mit leuchtenden brünierten Aufnahmen von Roger Deakins und einem meisterhaften Soundtrack von T-Bone Burnett geziert, einer liebevollen Hommage an die amerikanischen Folkstile der 30er-Jahre — Blues, Gospel, Bluegrass, Jazz und noch viele mehr. Und nur um zu beweisen, dass das Produzentenpaar seinen Hang zum schlechten Geschmack nicht verloren hat, bekommen wir auch noch einen Ku-Klux-Klan-Aufmarsch aufgetischt, der wie eine Mischung aus einer Nazi-Parade bei einem der Nürnberger Reichsparteitage und einem Busby-Berkeley-Musical choreografiert ist. –Philip Kemp O Brother, Where Art Thou?

Pierrot le fou (Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray] “…VAST, COSMIC, QUASIMETAPHYSICAL ARTISTIC DREAMS” – Robin Simmons – Palm Springs area, CA United States
Jean-Luc Godard, the darling of French “New Wave” cinema, premiered this film at the ‘65 Venice Film Festival (where it was Booed!). Starring Jean-Paul Belmondo and Anna Karina as a sexy couple who hit the road to escape the bourgeoisie, it is much more than a road movie.

Godard called the characters Belmondo and Karina portray “the last romantic couple.” This was Godard’s tenth feature in six years.
Playful, farcical, satiric and at times light-hearted,, thje story of a husband running off with his ex-lover (and child’s baby sitter) afforded an opportunity to make fun of consumerism and politics in this episodic and meandering tale rich in metaphor and meaning.

A pop-art sensibility pervades this energetically acted film that is enhanced by the emphasis of primary colors and the vivid Technicolor cinematography of Raoul Coutard (who approved this stunning Crierion hi-def transfer).

Although Godard said he didn’t use a script, Lionel White’s hard-boiled novel Obsession, seems to be the source of whatever plot the picture itself has. Another source element is Raymond Queneau’s comic novel from the `40s, Pierrot Mon Ami. Which in turn inspired the 1959 Euro hit “Mon Ami Pierrot” which Karina sings to Belmondo whom she calls Pierrot, which invariably moves him to say, “that’s not my name.” (He’s “Ferdinand” in the movie.)
Godard’s films are filled with allusions and references. Often to movies themselves. In fact, the actors do not hesitate to break the “fourth wall” and sometimes turn to the camera to make comments directly to the audience.

Godard’s oft-repeated description of the film is especially precise, it even refers to a central image in the opening scenes. He said, “Life is the subject with CinemaScope and color its attributes. In short, life filling the screen as a faucet fills a bathtub that is simultaneously draining at the same rate.”
This film is, on one level, a celebration of art for art’s sake. It’s contextual meaning is more obscure and layered.
Criterion’s breathtaking Blu-ray release warrants a second look at this enduring cinematic treasure.

Generous extras include an interview with Anna Karina, a 50 minute documentary about Godard’s life and films, archival interviews with Godard, Belmondo and Karina. An enclosed booklet has a fascinating essay by film historian and “New Yorker” writer Richard Brody who says: “Exactly as Godard intended, `Pierrot Le Fou’ reflects appropriately vast, cosmic, quasimetaphysical artistic dreams of a Balzacian grandeur.” What a great sentence. There are many more like that! Also in the booklet, an erudite review by Andfrew Sarris and an interesting 1965 interview with Godard.
In 1964, Jean-Luc Godard went to work on his tenth film, a color film titled “Pierrot Le Fou” which would feature his ex-wife Anna Karina and Jean-Paul Belmondo (who worked on Godard’s “A bout de Souffle” (Breathless) and “Une femme est une femme” (A Woman is a Woman).

The film is his most ambitious film yet, not only reuniting with two stars that he has worked with before but the fact that elements of his previous nine films shows up on “Pierrot Le Fou”.

The film was released by Fox Lorber in the US back in 1998 and received The Criterion Collection treatment in February 2008. Over a year later, the film became the first Jean-Luc Godard film released by the Criterion Collection on Blu-ray.

VIDEO & AUDIO:

“Pierrot Le Fou” is presented in 1080p High Definition (2:35:1 Aspect Ratio). The film is probably the most gorgeous film I have seen by Jean-Luc Godard to date. The film is full of colors, absolutely vibrant, reds and blues just pop. For fans of Godard’s ’60s work, “Pierrot Le Fou” is his most colorful film. It’s important to note that the restored high-definition digital transfer was approved by cinematographer Raoul Coutard.

Accord to Criterion, the HD digital transfer was created on Spirit Datacine from the 35mm negative and color corrected on a Specter Virtual Datacine. Thousands of dirt, debris, scratches, splices, warps, jitter and flicker were manually removed using MTI’s DRS system and Pixl Farm’s PFClean system, while Digital Vision’s DVNR system was used for small dirt, grain and noise reduction.

“Pierrot Le fou” is featured in its original French language and features a monaural soundtrack remastered at 24-bit from a 35 mm optical track print. Dialogue is clean and understandable and Anna Karina’s singing voice is crystal clear in this film. Clicks, thumps, hiss and hum were manually removed using Pro Tools HD. Crackle was attenuated using AudioCube’s integrated audio workstation.

Subtitles are provided in English.

SPECIAL FEATURES:

“Pierrot Le Fou” comes with the following special features:

* Anna Karina – (14:55) A 2007 interview with Anna Karina at the Brasserie Lipp in Paris. Anna talks about working with her former husband and her role in “Pierrot Le Fou” as Marianne Renoir.
* A Pierrot Primer – (35:58) Commentary by filmmaker and educator Jean-Piere Gorin (Tout va bien, Letter to Jane, My Crasy Life) presents an introduction to “Pierrot Le Fou”.
* “Belmondo in the Wind” – (9:21) Jean-Paul Belmondo, Jean-Luc Godard and Anna Karina talk about Belmondo’s role in “Pierrot Le Fou”. Recorded by journalist Mario Beunat for the television series Panorama and aired back in June 18, 1965.
* Venice Film Festival, 1965 – (3:57) Jean-Luc Godard and Anna Karina were interviewed by Maurice Seveno and Christian Durieux for a French TV new segment on the Venice Film Festival back in Sept. 2, 1965.
* Godard, L’Amour, La Poesie – (52:59) A 2007 documentary by French filmmaker Luc Lagier tracing Jean-Luc Godard and Anna Karina’s marriage and films from “Le Petit Soldat” through “Pierrot Le Fou”. Featuring interviews with Karina and Godard collaborators Charles Bitsch, Raoul Coutard, Jean Douchet and Jean-Paul Savignac.
* Trailer – (2:06) The theatrical trailer for “Pierrot Le Fou”.
* 46-Page Booklet – The following booklet contains the essays “Self-Portrait In Shattered Lens” by Richard Brody, “Sarris on Pierrot Le Fou” and “Let’s Talk About Pierrot: An Interview with Jean-Luc Godard”.

JUDGMENT CALL:

Perhaps one of Godard’s most accessible films, “Pierrot Le Fou” is a film that is best enjoyed after watching a good number of his films that preceded this film. With the film now released on Blu-ray for the first time through the Criterion Collection, many people will will be introduced to Jean-Luc Godard but in my opinion, this film is not a starting point for the beginner. It’s more of a film that can be appreciated even more after watching his previous films and seeing how things have culminated in his work before he started to focus more on his political films.

“Pierrot Le Fou” is often seen as an early paradigmatic example of postmodernism in film. In the film, Godard shows his feeling towards American pop culture but Godard also becomes gets political as he uses the film for his characters to discuss the Vietnam and Algerian war. For many viewers familiar with Godard and his work, many believe this is Godard’s way of using characters to flesh out his true feelings about society. While many feel the film is a paying homage to his nine previous films leading to “Pierrot Le Fou”.

Personally, what I enjoy about this film is the adventure that Godard takes you. We wonder how these two people who are in love with each other, are yet so different. Ferdinand is reserved, quiet and just wants to enjoy the simple and peaceful life he has at the moment. Marianne just is tired of settling down and not doing anything. The fact is that she’s a bad girl. She’s involved with some shady characters dealing with illegal activity but in some way, that is her form of fun and she wants to expose Ferdinand to that life.

The way that Godard has shot the film is quite intriguing. We see things in the film but rarely are they explained. Why does Marianne enjoy killing and hurting others and why is it that both see or do things but not much is mentioned about it. It’s like it’s something natural for them.

Nevertheless, its the adventure of these two unlikely individuals that I find so interesting. Personally, I found it great to see Jean-Paul Belmondo and Anna Karina together as the primary leads for the film. The two have really good chemistry onscreen and the fact that we are enjoying this adventure of two people involved in criminal activity is quite interesting.

Godard has done a great job and utilizing many scenes with the two together to show their story of life together, when things start to become problematic leading up to a pivotal scene that comes out of left field (granted, this is common theme with Godard’s ’60s films, always expect the unexpected).

Overall, “Pierrot Le Fou” is an enjoyable stylish, arthouse film. It’s also one of those films that I feel is appreciated the more times you watch it. Again, this film is not where you should start out if you are wanting to get into Godard films, otherwise you will find yourself a bit puzzled by how the film is paced, how the scenes were cut and how Godard’s endings tend to be.

“Pierrot Le Fou” is a Godard masterpiece, but I highly recommend watching a few of his films such as “Breatheless”, “A Woman is a Woman”, “A Band of Outsiders”, “Contempt”, “Alphaville” and “Masculin Feminin” before tackling on this film. Once you start appreciating Godard’s filmmaking, then you’ll definitely appreciate this film even more.

Definitely recommended! IMAGE ENT.: Dissatisfied in marriage and life, Ferdinand (Jean-Paul Belmondo) takes to the road with the babysitter, his ex-lover Marianne Renoir (Anna Karina), and leaves the bourgeoisie behind. Yet this is no normal road trip: genius auteur Jean-Luc Godard’s tenth feature in six years is a stylish mash-up of consumerist satire, politics, and comic-book aesthetics, as well as a violent, zigzag tale of, as Godard called them, “the last romantic couple.” With blissful color imagery by cinematographer Raoul Coutard and Belmondo and Karina at their most animated, Pierrot le fou is one of the high points of the French new wave, and one last frolic before Godard moved ever further into radical cinema. Ferdinand (Jean-Paul Belmondo) is a man who has married for money and is terribly disillusioned with his life. When forced to go to a dinner party he does not want to attend, he throws a temper tantrum and returns home early. When driving Marianne (Anna Karina), the babysitter, back home, they fall in love and decide to run away from Paris. They embark on a series of escapades that begins with running illegal arms for extra cash and runs the gamut: love, death, ennui, boat chases, murder, betrayal, revenge, lost cash, and almost anything else you can think of, and all with a sense of reality that is an interesting contrast to the typical American film. Jean-Luc Godard (Breathless, Alphaville) blends different genres with great success and achieves moments of cinematic poetry in this quasi-epic of modern malaise. Also a cameo by the Hollywood director Samuel Fuller is something to watch for. Be aware that Godard is for people seriously interested in cinematic art. –James McGrath
