VS VS NADAL<br />
NADAL<br />
The greats of the tennis world and a total<br />
attendance of more than 686,000 fans<br />
came to Melbourne Park for the first major<br />
tournament of <strong>2012</strong> at the Australian<br />
Open.<br />
World No.1 Novak Djokovic faced No. 2<br />
Rafael Nadal in the Men's final, in their<br />
third consecutive Grand Slam finals<br />
match.<br />
2011 was a stellar year for Djokovic, as he<br />
won three out of the four major<br />
championships, and defeated Nadal in six<br />
matches throughout the year.<br />
On this warm Sunday night at Rod Laver<br />
Arena, that dominance continued, but it<br />
wouldn't be easy, as the two best players<br />
in the world played a five-set marathon<br />
into Monday morning in the longest Grand<br />
Slam final in history and Djokovic would<br />
win his third Australian Open title, 5-7, 6-4,<br />
6-2, 6-7, 7-5.<br />

US US OPEN OPEN - 2006 2006 - FEDERER<br />
FEDERER<br />
VS VS RODDICK RODDICK (MEN'S (MEN'S (MEN'S FI FINAL) FI NAL)<br />
The US Open began in 1881 as the U.S.<br />
Championships, a relatively small event<br />
held at The Casino in <strong>New</strong>port, R.I. Today<br />
it has grown into the biggest tennis<br />
tournament in the world, with a long, rich<br />
tradition of attracting the best players from<br />
around the world to perform on the world's<br />
greatest stage: the USTA Billie Jean King<br />
National Tennis Center in <strong>New</strong> York City.<br />
As the last major of the calendar year, the<br />
US Open annually brings down the curtain<br />
on the Grand Slam season with some of<br />
the most unforgettable matches in tennis<br />
history.<br />
In 2006, it featured another stirring chapter<br />
in the growing rivalry between the winners<br />
of the last three US Open men's singles<br />
titles - two-time defending champion<br />
Roger Federer and 2003 champion Andy<br />
Roddick.<br />
The two met in the Wimbledon final in<br />
2004 and 2005, with Federer emerging<br />
victorious both times, and the Swiss<br />
entered the 2006 US Open on one of the<br />
greatest runs in the annals of the sport.<br />
The tournament's top seed, Federer had<br />
won seven of the past 11 Grand Slam<br />
events and was attempting to be<strong>com</strong>e the<br />
first man in tennis history to sweep the<br />
Wimbledon and the US Open titles for<br />
three consecutive years.<br />
The ninth-seeded Roddick, meanwhile,<br />
entered the final on a roll of his own.<br />
After a desultory spring knocked him out of<br />
the Top 10, Roddick teamed with new<br />
coach Jimmy Connors and embarked on a<br />
brilliant summer campaign, winning the<br />
Olympus US Open Series title for the<br />
second time. And buoyed by a series of<br />
impressive wins in Flushing Meadows,<br />
Roddick entered the final primed to derail<br />
Federer and reclaim his US Open crown.<br />

THEATRE / FILMS<br />
EINSTEIN: EINSTEIN: THE THE MAN<br />
MAN<br />
BEHIND BEHIND THE THE GENIUS<br />
GENIUS<br />
This unique one-man show stars actor<br />
Steve Polinsky who portrays the great<br />
scientist Albert Einstein. This dramatic<br />
production presents Einstein's life, and the<br />
ideals, conflicts, humor and <strong>com</strong>passion of<br />
the man who revolutionized our view of the<br />
universe. yIn the tradition of the finest<br />
one-man shows, this play has reaped its<br />
share of critical acclaim, and is now<br />
presented for the first time on DVD. This<br />
revealing program explores Einstein's<br />
private life. We discover in him a man of<br />
humor, deep moral <strong>com</strong>mitment,<br />
involvement in the political issues of his<br />
time, a contagious enthusiasm for life and<br />
a never-ending wonder about the world<br />
around him.<br />
We meet Albert Einstein at his home in<br />
Princeton, <strong>New</strong> Jersey in the autumn of<br />
his life. He recalls his youth in the patent<br />
office and the objections of his superiors<br />
working on a scientific paper during office<br />
hours-a paper that turned out to propose<br />
the theory of relativity. He is fascinated by<br />
everything around him-in a cup of tea the<br />
swirling leaves suggest to him aspects of<br />
the nature of the universe. A photo<br />
reminds him of the pain he suffered when<br />
he separated from his first wife. The<br />
warmth of his feelings towards people is<br />
matched by the outrage he feels toward<br />
the rise of fascism which forced him to<br />
leave his native Germany. Arriving in<br />
America, Einstein often speaks out<br />
passionately about the dangers of nuclear<br />
power. He talks of the honor he felt being<br />
offered the presidency of Israel, and he<br />
imagines a conversation with Sir Isaac<br />
<strong>New</strong>ton.<br />
In this thoughtful, provoking, humorous<br />
and human portrayal of Albert Einstein we<br />
discover not only the man who<br />
transformed our conception of the<br />
universe, but also the best parts of<br />
ourselves.<br />

JACKIE JACKIE JACKIE MASON: MASON: ONE<br />
ONE<br />
ANGRY ANGRY MAN<br />
MAN<br />
Modeled after the stage and screen<br />
production Twelve Angry Men, One Angry<br />
Man is the court-room dram-edy starring<br />
Jackie Mason as himself.<br />
Weeks before the premier of Jackie<br />
Mason's latest Broadway show, Jackie<br />
has been called to jury duty. Just like<br />
everyone else, he is reluctant to serve;<br />
naturally, he employs the talents of his<br />
lawyer, Raoul Felder, to help relieve him of<br />
his civic duty. During the selection process,<br />
Jackie is questioned by the prosecution<br />
and the defense. Jackie is so offended by<br />
the defense's questions, he talks his way<br />
right onto the jury. The jury is set: people<br />
from all walks of life: the Arabic foreman<br />
(Nicholas Viselli), an Italian sleaze-ball<br />
(Tony Darrow), a gay gossip columnist<br />
(Mo Mandel), a transvestite (Frank<br />
Anthony Polito), a country music singer<br />
(Brandon Kinney), a 9/11 rescue worker<br />
(Rolando Millet), a self-hating Jew (Marty<br />
McDonough), a psychologist (Paul<br />
Borghese), a feminist (Pamela Sabaugh),<br />
a model (Stacey Sipowicz), a teacher<br />
(Mike <strong>New</strong>man), and of course, Jackie<br />
Mason.<br />
On trial for murdering a decorated police<br />
veteran is Yusef (Justin P. Nardecchia), an<br />
Arabic teenager. The judge (Mark Levin)<br />
instructs the jury not to hurry their decision<br />
and also not to be harassed by Jackie.<br />
The jury is ushered into their deliberating<br />
room by the Bailiff (Dick Capri) where they<br />
begin their process.<br />
Inside the jury room Jackie creates utter<br />
chaos and takes it upon himself to<br />
convince the otherwise "not guilty" leaning<br />
jury that Yusef is guilty. The characters<br />
share stories with one another about their<br />
lives and experiences, tempers flare,<br />
emotions run rampant, and Jackie realizes<br />
he may have made a mistake. Jackie,<br />
being soft-hearted as he is, takes<br />
responsibility and tries re-convincing<br />
everyone that Yusef is innocent. This is a<br />
must-see DVD for all <strong>com</strong>edy lovers and<br />
Jackie Mason fans.<br />
