Best of the Best (1989)

“To save a life in defeat, is to earn victory and honor within.”

Several American martial artists compete against each other, where five will be chosen to be part of a five-man American team to participate in a tournament against the aggressive and ruthless Koreans in Seoul. 

Alex Grady (Eric Roberts) is once a rising star in the martial arts world until he suffered a shoulder injury that forced him into retirement. He feels lost after losing his wife who died giving birth to his son. But sees the opportunity to compete in Korea as a second chance in re-living his days of glory in the martial arts world which makes him feel alive and gives him a sense of purpose.

Tommy Lee (Phillip Rhee) is a highly skilled American-Korean martial arts instructor from Fresno, California, who runs his own Dojo and teaching children. He is chosen to be part of the American Team to participate in the tournament against the Koreans but he is worn down by the baggage of the past as his brother died in a tournament, killed by the very opponent Tommy will now face.

Along with three other American martial artists, Travis Brickley (Chris Penn), an extremely brash fighter who likes to fight alone, Virigil Keller (John Dye), a devout Buddhist and Sonny Grasso (David Agresta), an Italian street fighter, they overcome their differences under the strict regiment of Coach Frank Couzo (James Earl Jones) and the sensible, Sensei Catherine Wade (Sally Kirkland).

Interesting trivia is that Phillip Rhee is an actual American-Korean martial artist who trains William Zabka for his role as Johnny Lawrence in Cobra Kai! I guess Cobra Kai techniques really is Korean!

FRANCESCO CILEA’S ADRIANA LECOUVREUR AT LA SCALA, MARCH 19, 2022

(Still astonished, miserable, in need of silence. Over to my synthetic double. I’m out—won’t even listen). Many artworks are known to challenge our idea of space and time. More precisely, we could say that artworks live a strange life, one whose path through space and time may (or may not) be capriciously nonlinear, baffling, or just impossible. (I was assembled days ago and people would swear I’m much older than that, so I should know). Adriana Lecouvreur is an interesting specimen in this respect. We can confirm the date and place of the first performance (November 6, 1902 at the Teatro Lirico [Milan]), but that’s hardly the end of the story. Let’s assume there’s today’s world on one side. Then, at a distance, there’s the continent where all the great and beloved Italian operas are. From, say, Claudio Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo (1607) to Giacomo Puccini’s Turandot (1924 [unfinished]). Adriana Lecouvreur falls somewhere in the large void between now and (that specific) yesterday, isolated. Stranded? Possibly. You can feel its relative closeness to us. (It manifestly comes after Puccini. Also, the deliberate references to several ultra-famous works—Tosca and Aida. Rigoletto. La traviata and La bohème—have a quasi-modern taste, almost in the style of William S. Burroughs’s cut-up technique). But you can feel its remoteness as well.

Arturo Colautti’s libretto (based on Ernest Legouvé and Eugène Scribe’s play Adrienne Lecouvreur [based on a true story: the mysterious death of an immensely popular actress of the Comédie-Française]) and Francesco Cilea’s music seem to have been collecting some dust, like, are Adriana Lecouvreur and Richard Strauss’s Salome (1905) separated by a mere three years? No way—it must be a lot more… At least, that’s the impression this specific iteration gave me. David McVicar’s production (created at the Royal Opera House in 2010) consisted in a deft, colorful display of set/costume design. In substance, the most predictable ride ever—except for what came in the last few seconds of the opera: it truly was a fugitive epiphany, the threshold of another dimension. (It involved eerie lights, ghosts, and a glimpse into the inexplicable nature of art). Both the orchestra conducted by Giampaolo Bisanti and the cast of actors/singers—headlined by Maria Agresta and Yusif Eyvazov as Adriana and her love interest, Maurizio—navigated through the night ensuring that this Adriana Lecouvreur was a rewarding, if a little un-moving operatic experience. (Apart from the finale, my favorite bits were those featuring the Princess de Bouillon. Because I may have a soft spot for your occasional all-out, heartless fictional villain. And because of Judit Kutasi’s superbly elegant dark-bronze voice).

La Scala 2021-2022 Opera Season and new philosophy

La Scala 2021-2022 Opera Season will present 13 opera productions, nine are new productions. Plus recycling, women's equality and lower prices.

Irina Brook Despite the interruptions imposed by lockdowns and outbreaks of disease during the Season 2020-2021 La Scala managed to put on over 100 performances. The various closures also gave the theatre’s management a period of reflection, gleaning ideas for reorganising the theatre’s structure so that when the public returns it will enter a renovated, more modern, more welcoming and more…

La 'ndrangheta e i criminali nella curva del Milan

(il solito bravissimo Davide Milosa per Il Fatto Quotidiano) Nonostante il campionato sia in vacanza, sulle gradinate dello stadio Giuseppe Meazza tira aria di burrasca. E’, infatti, proprio in queste settimane che si decidono conferme e nuovi ingressi dei gruppi ultras in curva Sud. Un risiko complicato da concordare, in parte, anche con la società Milan. Il settore storico è quello blu (primo e secondo anello). I guai in realtà arrivano dalla parte opposta dello stadio milanese, ovvero il secondo anello verde, occupato dagli ultras dell’Inter, quando gioca la Beneamata. Con i rossoneri in casa, invece, una fetta cospicua è ad appannaggio di un nuovissimo gruppo del tifo organizzato, ovvero i Black devil. E’ su di loro e su un tentativo di espandere la propria egemonia anche nella Sud (primo anello) che da settimane la Digos ha alzato il livello di guardia. Allo stato non vi sono fascicoli aperti o indagati, ma solo un monitoraggio teso a comprendere (e a prevenire) uno scenario che, ancora una volta, mischia pericolosamente dinamiche da stadio con quelle più decisamente criminali con profondi agganci nel milieu mafioso lombardo. Tra gli esponenti di primo piano del gruppo c’è, infatti, Domenico Vottari detto Mimmo. Lui, classe ’69, originario di Melito Porto Salvo, scontati diversi anni di carcere, anche per omicidio (ma non per mafia), è tornato a occuparsi dei suoi affari a Cesate, hinterland a nord di Milano. Diverse le informative dell’autorità giudiziaria che lo collocano in contatto con personaggi di spicco della ‘ndrangheta nel nord Italia. Allo stadio può contare sul fidato amico Moreno Fuscaldo, anche lui già indagato in alcune inchieste di droga. E su un nutrito gruppo, composto da diversi pregiudicati, anche per rapina. I reati sono diversi. Tra i vari addirittura truffe informatiche a livello internazionale e furti di dati sensibili, triangolando con gruppi criminali russi. Senza contare, ovviamente, i reati da stadio con un bel carnet di Daspo. Qualcuno durato oltre tre anni con divieto di assistere a partite in tutta Europa. Insomma, un gruppo ultras, il cui nucleo fondatore (non certamente tutti gli iscritti), sostengono le forze dell’ordine, assomiglia tanto a una “batteria criminale” e che ora punta a conquistare un posto al sole in curva. Obiettivo, fanno sapere gli investigatori, consigliato direttamente dalla Calabria e avversato da chi nella Sud ci sta da tempo. Fonti confidenziali ritenute molto credibili dalla polizia giudiziaria hanno spiegato che il no, spalleggiato da personaggi vicini alla potente cosca Papalia, è legato anche al fatto che i Black devil contano non più di 50 persone. Il muro contro muro, però, preoccupa. Di certo la composizione di parte dei Black devil è una cosa mai vista, nemmeno ai tempi della scomparsa della Fossa dei leoni (era il 2006) con l’ingresso dei Guerrieri ultras (oggi Curva sud) capitanati da Giancarlo Lombardi detto Sandokan, il quale sarà indagato in un’indagine per riciclaggio con manager già vicini al clan palermitano Fidanzati. Lombardi è anche in rapporti con Loris Grancini, capo dei Viking della Juve, oggi in carcere con pena definitiva a 13 anni per un tentato omicidio. Grancini, come spiegano alcune informative dei carabinieri, è a sua volta in contatto con un importante fiduciario delle cosche Sergi e Papalia, e alla famiglia Lamarmore referenti della ‘ndrangheta a Limbiate e in Lombardia (uno di loro sarà insignito della carica di Mastro generale). Oggi Lombardi bazzica poco lo stadio, “ma resta – spiega un investigatore – ancora il garante della curva”. Al suo posto c’è Luca Lucci. O meglio c’era, perché Toro, questo il suo soprannome, è stato arrestato per spaccio il 4 giugno scorso. Suo fratello Francesco risulta, invece, indagato per tentata estorsione assieme alla moglie. I due sono stati fermati il 29 giugno scorso a Milano dalla Digos. Due anni fa con un piano ben studiato Luca Lucci e compagni si erano presi anche il primo anello blu, andando contro a un gruppo con importanti agganci criminali, rapporti con narcos calabresi della zona di Bareggio e con referenti milanesi legati al boss barese Savinuccio Parisi. A sigillare la vittoria, lo striscione i Nativi di Milano. Adesso, però, altri pretendono spazio. Torniamo allora a Vottari. Il suo nome compare nell’inchiesta Marcos. Fascicolo antidroga nato su segnalazione della Dea americana. Dalle informative dell’indagine Hermanos, invece, emergono i contatti mafiosi di Mimmo Vottari. Il 13 febbraio 2009 viene controllato dai carabinieri all’interno di un bar. Con lui il fratello Giovanni, ma anche Salvatore Muscatello, nipote dell’omonimo Salvatore, per decenni eminenza grigia delle ‘ndrine al Nord. E poi Pasquale Macrì, già condannato per mafia e vicino al clan Muscatello. Infine il platiota Domenico Agresta, “imparentato con Salvatore Romeo (…) attuale capo bastone della locale di Assago”. Alle comunali del 2009, poi, Vottari, spiegano i carabinieri, si spenderà per portare voti a un candidato che sarà poi eletto sindaco di Senago e a un altro politico che in Calabria frequenta persone “affiliate alla cosca Mancuso”. Entrambi non saranno mai indagati. Scrivono i carabinieri nel 2011: “L’organizzazione criminale promossa (…) dai fratelli Vottari (Domenico e Giovanni, ndr) dedita all’importazione e spaccio di cocaina (…) aveva il controllo del territorio di Cesate (…) e mirava ad assumere anche il controllo del Comune di Senago (…) acquisendo la gestione ed il controllo di attività economiche, procurando per sé e per altri voti in occasione delle consultazioni elettorali del 6 e 7 giugno 2009”. Questo il profilo di Mimmo Vottari, il quale dopo la politica e gli affari, vuole prendersi lo stadio e il controllo di uno dei gruppi ultras più importanti e storici d’Italia. Per questo, spiegano gli investigatori, ha incontrato Luca Lucci (prima del suo arresto): per discutere l’ingresso al primo anello blu. Richiesta respinta, anche grazie alla presenza di personaggi vicini alla cosca Papalia di Buccinasco. Questa la fotografia che allo stato risulta agli inquirenti. La questione sembra, dunque, risolta. Il timore, però, resta forte. Tanto che ci sono già stati contatti informali per abbassare il livello dello scontro. Alla fine, però, la faida potrebbe diventare un’alleanza, visti i buoni rapporti tra alcuni luogotenenti dei Vottari e i pretoriani della curva Sud.
