However, film fans know him particularly as a horror master. There is so much undermined material for gifted fantasy filmmakers that perhaps we could dispense with further <em>Candyman</em> sequels and retire the <em>Hellraiser</em> juggernaut with contented hearts, and enjoy a Clive Barker renaissance clad in all new colors.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://calitreview.com/17928/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>What Is Best In Life?

Women whose dates have dragged them, possibly by the hair, to the late summer picture show. By now many of you know that Lionsgate will soon release a new film entitled <em>Conan The Barbarian</em>. Most of you will recall a cult classic by the same name from 1982, which was the breakout role of a certain Mr. Arnold Schwarzenegger.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://calitreview.com/15705/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>4</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Book Review: Other Lives by Peter Bagge</title><link>http://calitreview.com/9068</link> <comments>http://calitreview.com/9068#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 18 May 2010 13:53:51 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Michael D.

The quiet horror of the cropped image of David’s face, just his eyes, nose, and part of his mouth, seen as he might have seen himself while lying on a table, looking up at his reflection in the metal surface of a piece of medical equipment, will stay with you long after you finish the book.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://calitreview.com/4703/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>2</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Mike Carey: Novelist and Comic Writer</title><link>http://calitreview.com/271</link> <comments>http://calitreview.com/271#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 16 Oct 2007 14:51:11 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Alex Dueben</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Fiction Reviews]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Graphic Novels]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Horror]]></category> <guid

(laughs) There has to be a source of drama, a source of conflict. You can start with a character that’s out of tune with his time or his life or some aspect of his life. And then if it’s a Hollywood movie with a Hollywood happy ending it’s the story of redemption, the story of how you get from that discontent position to your own perfect space. The first <em>Back to the Future</em> movie is kind of archetypal in that respect. You start by showing all the things that are crappy about the kid’s life and then he comes back to this sort of paradise at the end. My characters don’t tend to find paradise, but they do sometimes find themselves."]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://calitreview.com/271/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
