Matrix

Randle, J. & R. Matrix : A Review for Printers and Bibliophiles, Number 11 [ Winter 1991 ]. Whittington Press, Andoversford and Risbury, first edition, 1991.
Ordinary limited edition, 1 of 850 copies, from a total edition of 955 copies. The Winter 1991 issue of this highly literate and gloriously produced chronicle of fine printing, private press work and the book arts. Each issue of Matrix is not only a thoroughly enjoyable read but also a visual and tactile delight with numerous tipped-in specimen papers, pieces of fine printing, etc - it really cannot be too highly recommended. "Matrix 11 was most notable for its historical items, straying outside our usual parameter of twentieth-century fine printing. A prime reason for Matrix has always been to record what is still within living memory (sometimes at one remove), rather than to analyse records left behind by earlier generations. But two of these pieces seemed so important that we broke with our usual rule. John Dreyfus most skilfully reconstructed Emery Walker's crucial lecture on letterforms given in 1888 before, amongst others, William Morris, and we reproduced nearly all Walker's slides in colour. James Mosley described the illustrations of typefounding engraved for the Academie Royale des Sciences in Paris in 1694, some of which we now published for the first time. CTD made a superb job of reproducing the very fine engravings by four-colour process. John Lane's long- researched piece on twentieth-century punchcutters (with an addendum in Matrix 12) will remain a standard reference on this complex subject. In a lighter vein, Joe D'Ambrosio wrote about the Compulsive Printer of Portage, Indiana; Jonathan Stephenson described setting up a Monotype workshop at the Rocket Press; and John O'Connor sketched the evolution of the classic Canals, Barges and People, his first book of coloured wood-engravings, published in 1950... The type used on the cover was Van Krimpen's Haarlemmer, issued by Monotype in 1939. Their first order for a set of matrices was from us in 1991." - John Randle, in David Butcher's Bibliography.

The Matrix Reloaded. Warner Home Video,
085392185139 ISBN: 0790764008 NEW VHS Tape in shrink wrap! In Color, playing time 138 minutes. Warner Home Video, Inc., 2003. VHS Movie. Science Fiction. Editorial Reviews Amazon.com Considering the lofty expectations that preceded it, The Matrix Reloaded triumphs where most sequels fail. It would be impossible to match the fresh audacity that made The Matrix a global phenomenon in 1999, but in continuing the exploits of rebellious Neo (Keanu Reeves), Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne), and Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) as they struggle to save the human sanctuary of Zion from invading machines, the codirecting Wachowski brothers have their priorities well in order. They offer the obligatory bigger and better highlights (including the impressive "Burly Brawl" and freeway chase sequences) while remaining focused on cleverly plotting the middle of a brain-teasing trilogy that ends with The Matrix Revolutions. The metaphysical underpinnings can be dismissed or scrutinized, and choosing the latter course (this is, after all, an epic about choice and free will) leads to astonishing repercussions that made Reloaded an explosive hit with critics and hardcore fans alike. As the centerpiece of a multimedia franchise, this dynamic sequel ends with a cliffhanger that virtually guarantees a mind-blowing conclusion. --Jeff Shannon --This text refers to the Theatrical Release edition. Description In the second chapter of the Matrix trilogy, Neo (Keanu Reeves), Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) and Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) continue to lead the revolt against the Machine Army. In their quest to save the human race from extinction, they gain greater insight into the construct of The Matrix and Neo's pivotal role in the fate of mankind. .
