Sacre Coeur - fine help for tourist review or prep

Would you consider the audio edition of Sacre Coeur to be better than the print version?

The audio version is wonderful because if one is planning to visit, there is plenty to do and so it saves a lot of time listening to general information and history on the topic...you'll see it when you get there, and you can Google spellings that confuse, so YES better than print.

What did you like best about this story?

Title: Slasher Movies

Subtitle: The Pocket Essential Guide

Author: Mark Whitehead

Narrator: James Jordan

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 47 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-05-08

Publisher: Matrix Digital Publishing

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 7 votes

Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts

Publisher's Summary:

Slasher movies took horror to new heights of graphic violence while, in some cases, simultaneously plumbing new depths of camp self-referentiality. They have nonetheless had a lasting impact - from 'respectable' studio pictures such as The Silence of the Lambs (1991) and Single White Female (1992), to the new breed of teen movies such as The Faculty and The Scream franchise, which play knowingly with the conventions of the slasher.

In this Pocket Essential guide you'll find an introductory essay, an in-depth discussion of all the major films, a consideration of the influences on the genre and a checklist of the stars who got their big break being slashed!

Members Reviews:

Good book, bad narration.

Interesting book for those who love the genre. However, the narrator often mispronounces words. For instance, he says bogeyman, like a golf bogey instead of Boogeyman. Lil-a instead of Lie-la. And Sarah Michael Gellar, instead of Sarah Michelle Gellar. Other than that, he isn't a bad narrator. However, he obviously had no interest or idea about the subject he was reading.

I

Enjoyable, if a bit light.

If you're looking for a serious study of slasher films, this isn't the book you want. But if you just want to talk about some old favorites, take a trip down memory lane, or remind yourself of things you need to put in your Netflix queue, this book will do fine for the purpose. The only real complaint I have about it is that the narrator seems to have a lot of trouble pronouncing names correctly. Some admittedly are tough names, but by the end when he couldn't manage "Brion James" I was yelling at my iPod.

A decent introduction

The book itself was okay, doesn't really provide information that isn't available in any number of other sources but a decent intro to the genre to those who are looking for it.

I have to say, however, that the narration/production was really bad - I don't think I've even ever listened to an audiobook and noticed the production values before but I did here. The narrator *constantly* mispronounces names and words and even stumbles over his words a few times which makes me think not that it wasn't edited well but that it wasn't edited *at all*.

A 'not bad' book marred by sloppy narration

Is there anything you would change about this book?

I would have edited some of the long lists of performers that accompany the movie descriptions. It's ok in print as you can just skip past them, and I don't know anyone who 'reads' them anyway.

What did you like best about this story?

It's a fine introduction if you're interested in the genre, or a pretty good overview if you're already a fan. However, apart from maybe uncovering one or two titles you haven't heard of, it's unlikely you'll discover much new here.

How could the performance have been better?

Although at first I liked the narrator's tone and delivery, at times he seemed bored and lazy, and the pronunciation really started to get messy to the point of out and out errors (Sarah 'Michael' Gellar, for example). I can't say for sure if it was the fault of the print or the narrator, but I suspect it was the narrator.

Title: Australian Film

Subtitle: The Pocket Essential Guide

Author: Saskia Vanderbent

Narrator: Ben Ottridge

Format: Abridged

Length: 3 hrs and 19 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-20-08

Publisher: Matrix Digital Publishing

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 4 votes

Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts

Publisher's Summary:

Documenting the history of Australia, and in some cases the world, startling Australian films, such as Changi and Kokoda Front Line, are known for their realism and simple artistry. Location films, such as They're a Weird Mob and A Town Like Alice showed Australian landscapes to the rest of the world. And in recent times, such contemporary films as Pitch Black, Lantana, Chopper, and Two Hands have been successful internationally. In the 1970s, horror and sci-fi did their worst in films like Picnic at Hanging Rock.

In this audiobook, we explore the horror of Nicole Kidman's first film and the insanity of Russell Crowe's Romper Stomper, as well as a first-of-its-kind film, The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert - and much more.

With directors such as Baz Luhrman and actors such as Geoffrey Rush, Australian cinema has become notably artistic and risqué. Although often undervalued in a multi-billion-dollar international film industry, Australia has led the way in artistry, location films, documentaries, nakedness, coarse language, crime, anti-establishment themes, sexuality and realism.

Titel: Disteln für Hagen. Vol. 2

Autor:: Joachim Fernau

Erzähler: Johannes Steck

Format: Abridged

Spieldauer: 3 hrs and 4 mins

Sprache: Deutsch

Veröffentlichungsdatum: 07-27-07

Herausgeber: LangenMüller Herbig

Bewertung: 4 von 5 von 2 Stimmen

Kategorien: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts

Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Die Nacherzählung des Nibelungenlieds als Geschichtsdeutung und Gegenwartsdeutung: Joachim Fernau zeigt nicht, wie die Deutschen sind oder gestern waren, sondern - und das ist das Spannende dieser Darstellung - wie sie gestern, heute und künftig sein müssen.

Der Sprecher:

Johannes Steck wurde 1966 in Würzburg geboren. Er studierte an der Schauspielschule in Wien und arbeitete danach als Sprecher für 3sat und das ZDF. Bis 2005 spielte er Dr. Achim Kreutzer in der ARD-Serie "In aller Freundschaft". In den letzten Jahren machte er sich als Hörbuchsprecher einen Namen.

Kritik Bewertungen:

Das egenso kluge wie tapfere, in seiner politischen Konzeption unbeirrbar gradlinige Buch von Joachim Fernau ist eine mit grimmigem Humor und feinster Ironie lächelnd dozierte Geschichte der Deutschen. Und Joachim Fernau ist ein guter, ja sehr guter Anwalt der in mehr als zwei Jahrtausenden geschundenen Rechte unseres Volkes, dem die ewigen Pannen unserer Geschichte nur zu gut bekannt sind.
