![]() “The Servant” opens on an especially bleak day that creates the scene for what is to come. It’s typical of the care with which “The Servant” is put together that not only does his wife, the gifted Cleo Laine, sing the film’s “All Gone” theme song (with lyrics by Pinter) but she sings it with three arrangements, so its emotional weight is different every time. Slocombe, who cut his teeth on such classic Ealing comedies as “Kind Hearts and Coronets” and “The Lavender Hill Mob,” smoothly handles the difficulties of this very different kind of situation, which involved everything from complex tracking shots to photographing a convex mirror.Īlso essential is composer John Dankworth, whose cool jazz score sets the appropriate mood. ![]() One of the things this fine restoration emphasizes is the splendor of Douglas Slocombe’s moody black and white cinematography. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And the last and special creature of our M.E. There are the magic savvy fairy people, just like the younger adults of our generation. There are the good old hobbits carefree and untroubled like our elder citizens. ![]() This book is drafted with the heaviest use of magic and has given a new maturity into the inhabitants of Middle Earth, taking the classical children's fairy tales and turning the lives of these characters into a copy of ours. Never has a classic ever interested me this much, leaving the usual odd and repetitive topics of orphans or romance or death and pulling me into a world of pure, dangerous adventure. His pen brought to life the nature of the characters, giving each one a mind and attitude in our own brain. The detailed, funny descriptions of the characters right down to the hobbit, Bilbo Baggins's large, woolly feet. Nor could it perfectly capture the vast imagination of J.R.R. The film was action-packed and satisfactory but it could not live up to the brilliance of the LOTR Trilogy. ![]() ![]() Solanas occupied a place so far on the fringes of the avant-garde scene at Warhol’s Factory that the pair probably wouldn’t be mentioned in the same breath today - except that she forced herself into the historical record on this day, June 3, in 1968, when she shot and critically wounded Warhol, apparently outraged by his rejection and the fact that he had lost his copy of her play. Solanas was working for the police on ‘some kind of entrapment,’” per the New York Times. ![]() ![]() dichtelbach severna flabellinidae benders apology muziektheater torrence.

He was a counterculture prophet whose art still challenges us to think afresh about almost every aspect of experience-social, political, philosophical, religious, erotic, and aesthetic. Out of a wounding sense of alienation and dividedness he created a profoundly original symbolic language, in which words and images unite in a unique interpretation of self and society. William Blake, overlooked in his time, remains an enigmatic figure to contemporary readers despite his near canonical status. ![]() In this richly illustrated portrait, a prize-winning biographer surveys the entire sweep of William Blake’s creative work while telling the story of his life ![]() ![]() ![]() The most urgent sections of this ambitious novel are, for this reader, its more grounded ones. One of achievements in this novel is to closely underscore the human particularity of a range of enslaved men and women. Here the effect is more diffuse, and something intangible goes missing. In his earlier books each paragraph felt like a bouillon cube that could be used to brew six other essays. ![]() The ride is bracing, even if one sometimes misses the grainy and intense intellection of his nonfiction writing. Coates writes as if he’s thrown his readers into a carriage and is hurtling them through the woods. ![]() The Water Dancer is a jeroboam of a book, a crowd-pleasing exercise in breakneck and often occult storytelling that tonally resembles the work of Stephen King as much as it does the work of Toni Morrison, Colson Whitehead and the touchstone African-American science-fiction writer Octavia Butler. This isn’t a typical first novel, if by 'typical first novel' we mean a minor-chord and semi-autobiographical nibbling expedition around the margins of a life. The most surprising thing about The Water Dancer may be its unambiguous narrative ambition. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The plot, in the abstract, is fairly simple. The thing that makes The Trouble With Peace, and all Abercrombie books, great is the characters. So if I can’t really talk about the book, and I don’t want to talk about the book, and no one really needs to hear about the book, why am I writing a review of it you ask? Well, because The Trouble With Peace is a contender for my best book of the year and it would feel unprofessional to say nothing about it. ![]() If you haven’t heard of him, and want a really intense fantasy series, go check out his first book in this world: The Blade Itself. If you have read him, you likely are going to read this book. As I have said before, Abercrombie is best enjoyed with no expectations and as little knowledge as possible. I didn’t really want to review The Trouble With Peace by Joe Abercrombie, because I don’t want to draw your attention to it. ![]() ![]() The Utah author has developed a series of rules for magic in which the focus is not on a mystical hocus pocus in which anything goes, but rather a world in which there are known rules governing the magic. The novels have been a hit with fans in large part because of Sanderson’s unique approach to magic. The third series will take place in a contemporary setting and the fourth series will transition far into the future and mix together fantasy and sci-fi. The second series takes place generations later in a Wild West setting. ![]() The first series, which has a traditional fantasy setting, was completed a decade ago when Sanderson's publisher, Tor Books, released "Mistborn: The Hero of Ages" in October 2008. The “Mistborn” series will eventually consist of as many as 13 books - three trilogies and one tetralogy. ![]() ![]() ![]() It is rooted in the misogyny and cruelties of the Hades/Persephone myth and contains sensitive material not suitable for all readers.
