    Geständnisse - Confessions of a Dangerous Mind
    GESTÄNDNISSE-CONFESSIONS OF A DANGEROUS MIND ist die Geschichte über das Doppelleben des Chuck Barris (Sam Rockwell), eines legendären amerikanischen Entertainers - Fernsehproduzent bei Tag, Mörder für die CIA bei Nacht. Jung, voller Energie und auf seine Karriere in der wachsenden Fernsehindustrie Amerikas fixiert - und nach Jahren der "Entbehrung" endlich erfolgreich bei den Frauen - wird Chuck Barris von einer rätselhaften Person (George Clooney) verfolgt, die ihn schon bald in eine geheimnisvolle und gefährliche Welt hineinzieht: in die der CIA. Während Barris sich mit neuartigen und beliebten TV-Shows wie "The Newlywed Game" und "The Gong Show" als aufstrebender Fernsehproduzent einen Namen macht, tötet er - quasi im Nebenberuf - regelmäßig für die Regierung der Vereinigten Staaten.Als die Quoten steigen, bindet Barris sein geheimes Leben in sein Showleben ein, und schon bald befinden sich die Gewinner seiner Show "The Dating Game" auf Reisen in "die wunderbare Stadt Helsinki" oder in das "romantische Westberlin", um dort einen Traumurlaub mit dem Partner zu verbringen - nicht gerade Paris, aber für Barris als ihr Begleiter sind diese Reisen ein idealer Deckmantel für seine geheimen Missionen. Während Barris sich im Glanz der beiden Welten sonnt, in denen er sich bewegt - Entertainment und Spionage -, gerät sein Leben allmählich aus den Fugen. Er ist hin- und hergerissen zwischen Penny (Drew Barrymore), der Frau, die ihn liebt, und Patricia (Julia Roberts), der mysteriösen Agentin, die ihn fasziniert.Er muss herbe Kritik seines Publikums einstecken, das ihn beschuldigt, die Fernsehlandschaft durch seine billigen Fernsehshows zu verschmutzen. Und er sieht sich einer Verschwörung gegenüber, deren Ziel es ist, ihn aus dem Weg zu räumen. Barris muss wieder die Kontrolle über sein Leben gewinnen. Seine beiden Leben...

    Marilyn: Her Life in Her Own Words, Hörbuch, Digital, 82min
    No one looked like her. No one walked like her. No one talked like her. Sexy, yet vulnerable, and unexpectedly talented, she was no ordinary screen goddess. Few really knew her. What others wrote, she called, "Lies! Lies! Lies!" Here, at last, is Marilyn Monroe's account. On June 1, 1962, Marilyn's 36th birthday, famed photographer and reporter George Barris visited Marilyn on the set of what would be her final, unfinished, film. They had met eight years earlier, became friends, and planned to do a picture book and autobiography. Now the time was right. For the next six weeks, Barris photographed and interviewed the actress. "Don't believe anything you read about me except this...." she told Barris. And so she began to confide the truth about herself. Language: English. Narrator: Jill Eikenberry, Michael Tucker.

    Claretta Street , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 558min
    Claretta Street, the first novel by Colette Barris, is the story of Pacoima, a bustling little town in the '60s located in the San Fernando Valley of Southern California. Claretta Street follows the lives of four young African American girls known as the Babies, growing up in the vortex of the turbulent change of the '60s and becoming young adults in the decadent and destructive '80s. Today, countless discussions on the peril of Black America proliferates the media, academia, and social scientists in real time, propelling this continuous Greek tragedy into the main frame of America and the world. However, the incendiary foundation and epoch of this unfolding disaster must be told and the veil of destruction exposed - the '80s. Claretta Street by Colette Barris takes the listener on a ride of unbelievable clarity and cause, as Denise in ancient griot form becomes the voice of the diaspora both prophetic and naive. Stripping down in plain view the causes and emotions of a time of great hope and sadness to preserve through decadence and decline, Claretta Street is the story of hope and change coupled with the unfortunate forces and juxtaposition of man s inhumanity and struggle all the while seeking hope and love. Pacoima provides the foundation for Colette Barris' remarkable journey to author. She is a graduate of the University of Southern California. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Colette Barris.
