![]() The Iceman - Confessions of a Mafia Hitman $14.98 This documentary is a factual chilling account of the many hits carried out by Mr. Kuklinski over a period of years as a mafia hitman. If you enjoy true crime it is a must see and draws viewers in to the life and crimes of this man and his cohorts. One wonders how a person can be so totally devoted to his family and yet carry out the murderous acts without a second thoughts. A lot of viewer's questions are answered but many remain, also others are added. You will want to read more about Richard Kuklinski and his role in the mafia and his facinating life. Book of same title is impossible to put down. Highly recommend both to true crime fans. ![]() Iceman: My Fighting Life $15.00 this book is a great book if you like the ufc and are interested on the making of a ufc fighter. it is very well written and very easy to follow. i know after reading it i have a very differant opinion of chuck liddel. the book takes you from his birth and his family and tells how he was a cripple as a very young boy. it tells who had a big part of showing him the way to manhood. more importantly it tells of how there is much more to the man than what we see when he fights. i always thought he is a great fighter but now i also think he is a great man out of the ring and i find myself realy bumming out as latly he has fought some very tough men and has not fared well. ide hate to see him quit but i dont want to see him get his brain scrambled either. he is to smart for that. i hope its an intense book by an intense ufc fighter. he is number 1 in my book ![]() Eugene O'Neill's The Iceman Cometh (Broadway Theatre Archive) $24.99 That Eugene O'Neill... he musta had some issues! In his stage masterpiece THE ICEMAN COMETH, we are witness to anarchistic socialism, obssession, neglect, alcohol abuse, mental illness, guilt and despair. Lost people lean on each other for support in a rundown gin mill, trying to muster goodfellowship as they laugh at the same old jokes, sing the same old songs and drink away the same old pain. I like to watch "Iceman" on gray or rainy days, or when I'm blue. Like the others in this story, Hickey gets on my nerves with his bellowing, hand-clapping and obviously false good spirits. During his famous 40 minute soliloquy, saloon owner Harry Hope whines that Hickey "did something to the booze" that's preventing everyone from getting drunk. I think the reality of their own existences that Hickey held up to each like a mirror is what was keeping them all sober, not any bottle trickery or even Hickey's confession of a terrible crime. The BROADWAY THEATRE ARCHIVES version of "Iceman" is, despite a less-than-perfect audio track and somewhat grainy b&w image a remarkable exploration of what makes us all human: our weaknesses, our fears and most of all: our dreams. |
