For Rick Kennedy is truly a happy moment. Tonight will be a memorable party, there is his brother who has not seen for years and may even be able to seduce Kate, the girl he is in love. In the quiet village of Fairburn in the evening was pleasantly warm. When the darkness Rick thinks he sees a strange creature from the gray face and gaze wandering in the forest, thought to be only a hallucination, a nightmare passenger. But the awakening will be terrible. The next day the city is invaded by thousands of men and women, escaped in a mysterious cataclysm that took place across England and beyond: the land heats up, the city burned, the lake water boils. It looks like the end of the world and who has managed to avoid the horror unleashed by nature is willing to do anything to escape the wrath of the mysterious Grey Demons.

The Apocalypse according to Simon Clark ( The city of vampires, vampire Lake, both published in Italy by the same Newton Compton) will be due to a sudden warming of the Earth, which will follow a ' orgy of volcanic eruptions and tidal waves of boiling water, which will transform the earth into a desert soil ash and false hopes.
not all. Why
middle there are the mysterious gray men, furious humanoid gym, through the eyes of steaming magma, that unconditional support by the destruction of everything and everyone. We do not know where they come from or who they are, but their appetite for violence is already a major problem to be solved, and the time to get other mental paranoia is not that abound.
It must be said that Clark's words are able to capture, in the early chapters. There is a vague hint teenage-boyish, of dreams and hormones, which offers light-heartedness and curiosity. At the feast of titanic Ben Cavallero, in fact, theater presentations of the three heroes of the novel - Don Juan the Kennedy brothers and the soft and sinuous Kate - you can breathe the scent of young really fun and loves coming to flowering. Also on the hand of a genuine sense of humor, mostly in the dialogues, simple and well-liked.
And even when he enters the end of the world, in his slow gait, mysterious and unique, the Witch and passionate reading, inserting here and there even unusual food for thought, well chosen and appreciated.
It is only when the enormous catastrophe becomes routine, and go into the bowels of the adventure that should govern the body of the plot, that things fall shamefully. The writing, as they scroll through the pages, it becomes more and more elementary and free nerve and was even irritating in the last two hundred pages. All this because, first, the effect of a sudden drop in surprise and an inexplicable desire to describe what happens always and only with the same terms, according to a narrative turn terribly unlikely (Simon Clark must have seen in loop continuous Ken , given the strange and Tamarra idea that the homeless and outcasts of society), which also has the courage to lead to an end with no rivals in terms of ridiculous improbability.
The critic in me tells me to add also the numerous and lengthy pieces of fiction in which they are told the sexual performance of the various participants, in an untenable and mileage succession of dialogues like "oooh, aaah, yeah." Indecent, really. And, in terms of comic expressions, I report an unstoppable river of thud!, Ouch!, And various obscenities narratives that are only smile and shake his head. Another thing that angers
is the continuous exchange of narrator, who, as you get towards the end of the journey, it becomes increasingly unpleasant and annoying, given its nature of low-evident device to lengthen the stock.
Because I want to do bad, then, must give credit to Alessandro Pilo, Mr. translator, I did a work obscene and indecent, stain to "d" euphonic continuously, and leaving out repeats in every where and every when.
This is a shame, because if the novel had been a two hundred pages shorter, it would surely have won. The new extreme length (nearly six hundred pages, but considering how much the layout, I am not exaggerating to say that, generally speaking, may actually be even seven hundred), however, carries, in addition to the above, a natural loss of interest. The action is unbelievably repetitive, the characters are stripped of their guess characterizations of the early chapters, instead of acquiring food and inexplicable behavior, and so, alas, not test is no longer any emotional bond with them.
concede only a thumbs-up to the dark artwork (even if totally unrelated to what is said in the story) and for the price really tempting, despite the amount of facades.
I do not know, without qualification, the remainder of the literary production of Simon Clark, and above all pretend not to see the lures that are proudly displayed on the back cover. I only know that the kingdom of the blood and remains a brick tasteless and boring, and so should be enough to discourage the unnecessary removal of cancerous and money.

Lost - Season Two

What remains of the mysteries of the second round

Island most bizarre memories that geography continues to churn out some question marks. And if on the one hand, among the maze of jungle and in the walls of bunkers, some sort of response comes out, new puzzles sign of their presence.
development that is taking root with the season two of Lost is one that television has never raised so far in the curriculum. The discovery of what lies inside the bunker, the arrival of new survivors of the crash, the demise of one of the most detested characters in the first series, a glimpse of vision on the reality of the feared Other, are elements which gripped the audience eager solutions.
The protagonists then change the design: the annoying and perky Jin becomes eclectic, Sayer aside momentarily from the air brazen cock, the charismatic and Sayid is accommodated in the background.
As the days passed, however, falls on the island soon a fog of narrative stasis and immobility. The cruel turn on former toxic Charlie (the most exemplary - even better with the personality of Michael) he is not rewarded with a strong screenplay and support to withstand the rigors of similar texture. All changes in dialogues, to hide an uncomfortable misery of ideas tend to be philosophical, leaving a bitter taste. If in fact the flashbacks become gradually more and more manufactured and joints between the various actors (not counting the platitudes of the past of Mr. Eko), the action becomes noiosetta island, denying any glimmer evolutionary fans (if not some popular activity, such as the discovery - or almost - to the detriment of the abduction of Claire in a staginoe).
Fortunately, in recent episodes 8:00 to 10:00, with the appearance of the mysterious Harry, the series takes place and inventiveness, in a frightening sequence of surprises and new puzzles television (with an obvious left in the final half), At this point, they will find a shred of response only in the third round (next to the conclusion in the States).
always remain big questions (the role of Rousseau, the true nature of the Others, the reason of the many bunkers scattered throughout the island, the Dharma project), but piece after piece, the vast puzzle finally starts to come together. Just be patient.

About Death behind the door

Director: Bob Clark
Cast: John Marley, Lynn Carlin, Richard Backus, Henderson Forsythe, Anya Ormsby, Jane Daly
Length: 88 '
Production: USA / Canada / UK
Year: 1975

The young Andy left for Vietnam, promising to return to his family safe and sound as soon as possible. Unfortunately, a stray bullet breaks his word, and Andy succumbs to the battlefield. However, one night, knocking the Brooks home, it is Andy.

Bob Clark, the first of the turn-adolescent Porcelain series Porkys , anonymity assigned by television and, unfortunately, the recent death in a car accident, was a champion of our favorite genre, capable of putting into Standing in '74 that Black Christmas, immortal father of all slasher, which many film classes was able to give. With the next
Death behind the door, however, Clark sprinkles the film sentimental-tragic atmosphere that you breathe slowly, in a morbid silence and smiles diverted blood that flows only in the final. Everything in Death behind the door, is devoted to a search of almost exasperated component dramatic and painful, and the same climate in which we are immersed not ever give glimmers of light or salvation film. The slow impassive which echoes the plot leaves no escape, enveloping the viewer attentive (and youngsters who want everything right away from here!) In a miasma of pain and despair.
The narrative focuses so long to share in dialogue, deep and rich in detail, exploring characters and psychologies - gradually more and more shattered - the family of Andy, before his mysterious reappearance and its troubling behavior. And Clark is suffocating in its still-image and those poignant close-ups, though often you grant Classic zoom at the speed of light, typically seventies styles that clash not just with the burial context and overwhelming - but it is not that time of defects, quietly negligible.
Here it is, the horror of the past, that has nothing to do with the hasty discharge section of the hormonal horror today. Script, dialogues, characters, social commentary on these points - now almost completely neglected - we focused so long ago, building the atmosphere after film atmosphere, and no roof after roof.
Only in the bitter ending, full of emotion and complaint, the fury of the horror film stands in all its violent and confusing charge, catching off guard by an unexpected acceleration of well-liked but who knows how to hit in the stomach and eyes.
torments and pains are well brought to light by John Marley and Lynn Carlin especially, husband and wife who see the destruction of his marriage in annihilating blows dall'angosciante the character played by Richard Backus. But perhaps the most clear proof that it is up to Jane Daly, a figure only actors, but able to illuminate his happiness with the emotional heaviness of the film.
A praise to the Gargoyle, which exits in a sea of \u200b\u200bpure garbage, can sometimes guess at some centers (including the upcoming the aforementioned Black Christmas ). And a heartfelt thanks to Bob Clark, for a piece of cinematic history that he, too, has helped to create.
