Energized by NYC Sampling Success, ENGOBI Set to Explode in Durham, Raleigh
NEW YORK, May 16 -- Fresh off an explosive, New York City
sampling wave, the ENGOBI(TM) Girls are hitting the road, bringing ENGOBI
-- the love child of caffeine and snack chips -- to Durham May 17-18 and to
Raleigh May 18-19. Along with samples of the market's first
caffeine-infused munchie, the ENGOBI girls will give the Tarheel State's
Guitar Hero(TM) aficionados the chance to play the game along with friends
alongside the ENGOBI tour van.
The ENGOBI girls will bring on the noise, bring on the crunch this
Saturday, May 17, at venues ranging from Durham's Town & Country, 3700
Fayettville -- to the Durham Bulls Athletic Park to the 305 South
Anti-Mall. Raleigh residents in search of a crunchy, flavor-packed
pick-me-up should look for the ENGOBI van Sunday and Monday at local
locations including Mordecai Historic Park and Glenwood Avenue.
"ENGOBI is rocketing off New York City shelves as soon as it's
stocked," says Mark Singleton, VP of Rudolph Foods, the maker of ENGOBI.
"When we saw the way typically jaded New Yorkers are reacting, we knew it
was time to pack up the ENGOBI van and give crunch lovers outside Manhattan
the chance to tank up on the tastiest, crunchiest energy source around."
As the ENGOBI girls make their way down the Coast (see their complete,
nine-city itinerary at http://www.engobi.com/engobi-tour/events/), they'll
be blogging from the van each day about the cities they're visiting and the
people they meet. "If the ENGOBI girls, our high-octane snack chips or
guitars don't perk you up, I'm not sure you have a pulse," Singleton
declared. "With ENGOBI, couch potatoes just earned a place on the
endangered species list."
According to Singleton, a 1.5-ounce, single-serving bag of ENGOBI
contains approximately 140 milligrams of caffeine -- about 60 milligrams
more than a can of most popular energy drinks. The latest entry in the
functional foods category, ENGOBI will be distributed nationwide through
convenience stores and select grocery stores. High-energy ENGOBI is sold in
1.5-ounce, single-serving bags, with a manufacturer's suggested price of
$1.29 per bag.

$15 Million Bidding War Over Jolie Twins Picture
America's biggest magazines have launched a bidding war over the first photograph of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's twins - and are willing to pay up to $15 million (£7.5 million) for the exclusive snap. The Tomb Raider star and longtime partner Pitt are currently expecting twins - their fifth and sixth children. And according to Tmz.com, magazines People and OK! are desperate to land the first exclusive shot of the twins. A spokesman for People says, "We'd love to see the photos in People. We wish the family well". Meanwhile, OK!'s representative admits the publication would be "foolish" not to bid for the photos. In 2006, the couple offered the first pictures of daughter Shiloh through distributor Getty Images. People magazine paid more than $4.1 million (£2 million) for the North American rights, while British magazine Hello! obtained the international rights for $3.5 million (£1.75 million). All profits were donated to an undisclosed charity by Jolie and Pitt.

My Brother is an Only Child
My Brother is an Only Child
Stars: Elio Germano, Riccardo Scamarcio
Director: Daniele Luchetti
*** (out of five)
Sibling rivalry may not exactly be a groundbreaking notion in cinema, but sibling rivalry based on the opposing ideologies of Fascism and Communism in 1960�s Italy is � well, you don�t see that everyday.
In My Brother Is An Only Child, filmmaker Daniele Luchetti explores the diametrically-opposed ambitions of two brothers of the same family. Whereas older, handsome Manrico (Riccardo Scamarcio) fights for the rights of the working class, little brother Accio (Elio Germano) is an outright Fascist, getting into scraps and idolizing his hero Mussolini. You can obviously see how they might not get along. Intimidated by the politics of 1960s Italy, you say? No worry. As Luchetti has insisted, �the film does not take a political stand; it talks about people who take stands.�
And it does that well. Ultimately, My Brother isn�t so much about two siblings fighting for their ideologies as it is about two brothers fighting for their identity; a struggle that is heightened once Accio falls in love with Manrico�s girlfriend. This film works because Luchetti captures honest moments of realism and humour. Even if the political details of the day lose you, My Brother still succeeds as an excellent portrait of what it�s like to come of age in 1960s Italy.
