Zasadený medzi udalosti Saw I a II, chorý a zúfalý John, cestuje do Mexika na riskantný a experimentálny lekársky zákrok v nádeji na zázračný liek na jeho rakovinu – len aby zistil, že celá operácia je podvodom, ktorý má oklamať tých najzraniteľnejších. Neslávne známy sériový vrah, vyzbrojený novým zámerom, sa vracia k svojej práci a obracia stoly podvodníkom svojím typickým spôsobom prostredníctvom prešibaných, pomätených a dômyselných pascí.

Snímka Špinavý trik je príbehom prvotriedneho podvodníka Irvinga Rosenfelda, ktorý je so svojou nemenej rafinovanou partnerkou a milenkou Sydney Prosser donútený pracovať pre vyšinutého agenta FBI Richieho DiMasa. Ocitajú sa v nebezpečnom, no zároveň fascinujúcom svete vládnych funkcionárov a mafiánov. Jeremy Renner sa predstaví v úlohe Carmina Polita, vášnivého politického manipulátora z New Jersey, ktorý má na krku nielen Irvinga a Sydney ale i vládnych agentov. Skrytú hrozbu predstavuje aj Irvingova nevyspytateľná manželka Rosalyn. Film je nakrútený podľa skutočného prípadu FBI, ktorý sa odohral v 70-tych rokoch a vyvrcholil korupčným škandálom a následným odsúdením amerického senátora a piatich členov Snemovne reprezentantov.

Juan sa jedného rána pokúsi nemotorne uplatniť rovnaký podvod na dve rôzne pokladníčky v samoobsluhe. Keď je odhalený, ujme sa ho muž, ktorý ho celý čas tajne pozoroval. Marcos sa však za policajta iba vydáva: v skutočnosti je skúseným podvodníkom, ktorý si nevinne vyzerajúceho mladíka vytipoval ako svojho nového komplica. Juan sa pod Marcosovým vedením rýchlo vypracuje v majstra pretvárky, ktorý vie šikovne manipulovať s citmi svojich blížnych a vymámiť na nich prakticky ľubovoľnú čiastku. Pred zohranou dvojicou je teraz úloha ukradnúť a výhodne predať vzácnu zbierku deviatich známok z obdobia Weimarskej republiky nazvanú "Deväť kráľovien". Tú vlastní ostražitá dáma menom Berta. Špičkoví podvodníci rozbiehajú smrtonosne elegantnú hru, v ktorej neváhajú prekvapovať jeden druhého. Okrem pravých známok je však v hre aj ich dokonalá kópia z falšovateľskej dielne Bertinho brata Sandlera.

Dokument Austrálčanky Rhondy Byrne zhŕňa všetky teórie posledných sedemdesiatich rokov v oblasti osobného rozvoja a pozitívneho myslenia. Celý je založený na skúsenostiach účinkujúcich psychológov a "učiteľov úspechu", ktorí sa osobne pred natáčaním nepoznali a každý z nich pôsobil samostatne. Drvivá väčšina tiež o tejto žeravej téme, napísala vlastné knižky, z ktorých mnohé vyšli aj v slovenčine. Za zmienku stojí aj to, že o čom sa tu hovorí, teraz podporuje aj časť vedcov. Kvantoví fyzici tvrdia, že veľkému tresku, ktorý stvoril vesmír a všetkému ostatnému, čo sa na svete deje, pravdepodobne predchádzali myšlienky.

Bread is a British television sitcom, written by Carla Lane, produced by the BBC and screened on BBC1 from 1 May 1986 to 3 November 1991. The series focused on the devoutly-Catholic and extended Boswell family of Liverpool, in the district of Dingle, led by its matriarch Nellie through a number of ups and downs as they tried to make their way through life in Thatcher's Britain with no visible means of support. The street shown at the start of each programme is Elswick Street. A family called Boswell had also featured in Lane's earlier sitcom The Liver Birds and Lane admitted in interviews that the two families were probably related. Nellie's feckless and estranged husband, Freddie, left her for another woman known as 'Lilo Lill'. Her children Joey, Jack, Adrian, Aveline and Billy continued to live in the family home in Kelsall Street and contributed money to the central family fund, largely through benefit fraud and the sale of stolen goods.

Citizen James

Citizen James 1960

7.60

Citizen James is a BBC sitcom that ran for three series between 24 November 1960 and 23 November 1962. The show featured comedian and actor Sid James and Sydney Tafler with Bill Kerr and Liz Fraser appearing in early episodes. It was initially written by the comedy writing team of Galton and Simpson, who based the characters very much on the "Sidney Balmoral James" and "Bill Kerr, the dim-witted Australian" roles that they had played in Hancock's Half Hour. The first series was set around 'Charlie's Nosh Bar', a cafe in Soho, and centred around Sid's get-rich-quick schemes. He is helped by "Billy the Kerr" and quite often frustrated by the local bookmaker Albert Welshman. Liz Fraser played Sid's long-suffering girlfriend who has been waiting for seven years for Sid to set the date. Changes were made to the format after the first series. Sid James' character was changed to be something of a people's champion, campaigning for social justice. Bill Kerr and Liz Fraser departed and Sidney Tafler played a different character: Charlie Davenport. The location switched from Soho to Sid and Charlie sharing a house. Later episodes were written by then Morecambe & Wise writers Sid Green and Dick Hills.
