illustrious collection. In such books as Absolute Power and Saving Faith, he forged a reputation as an adroit and imaginative writer, while with Wish You Well, he enriched his already accomplished characterisation. Baldacci is particularly good at the dynamics of conflict within a family as much as external threat, and without ever trying to manipulate the readers emotions, he had us involved in a dramatic and affecting narrative that dealt with issues of personal choice quite as cogently as with the large-scale emotions of the plot. Subsequently, Hour Game was an innovative spin on a familiar theme, featuring Baldacci's series characters: the tall, athletic Michelle Maxwell and the brilliant aesthete Sean King, both ex-Secret Service personnel who were obliged to leave their jobs under a cloud. The duo encountered some pretty nasty things in Hour Game, which added new levels of gruesomeness, with the decomposed body of a young woman found arranged in a bizarre position, while two teenagers are bloodily slaughtered having sex in a car. The Camel Club, however, is both similar to and different from Baldaccis other books. We meet an enigmatic figure, Oliver Stone (one wonders why Baldacci chose the name of a well-known film director for this character), a man with no past. His occupation appears to be permanent protestor outside the White House, member of a cabal of believers in all available conspiracy theories, who are, collectively, The Camel Club. But (as in the author's signature book, Absolute Power) the group stumbles across a murder that they're not supposed to see--a murder rigged to appear as suicide. And, as in the earlier book, Stone and his friends find themselves involved in a very dangerous plot, reaching to the upper echelons of Washington society.While Baldacci may be ploughing a field hes worked before, he remains a master of the complex, character-driven thriller. --Barry Forshaw

Advantages: art rock at it's best Disadvantages: none
For the political correct obsessed guys, do not worry, this is not some kind of a propaganda promoting tobacco cd. I can't assure you however that the band members are not smokers though. So, what the hell is this camel band thing?
Camel is considered to be one of the most influential bands in what we call the british art/prog rock 70's scene. Camel emerged during the late 60's as a result of the collaboration of giutarist/flutist Andrew Latimer and bassist Doug Ferguson firstly under the name Brew. It is important to note that their first concerts were as a support band to the famous at the time band "Wishbone ash". In 1972 the band signs with MCA an their first debut title album "camel" is released in 1973. In 1974 they change their record label to DECCA and they release the classic until now mirage.
The cover of the album, as ...

Advantages: A fascinating look at nomadic life in Mongolia Disadvantages: Veeeeeeery slow moving, a couple of small quibbles with some scenes
(THIS IS A FILM-ONLY REVIEW)
The Story of the Weeping Camel is a very unusual film made by German company THINKFilm in association with National Geographic. Set in Mongolia, it is more a documentary about the lives of a nomadic family than a conventional film, though there is a storyline woven into it.

~~~Clubbed~~~
Released in 2008, Clubbed is a British drama set in the 80's. I borrowed this on DVD from my brother because it was recommended. I have since found out it is based on the international best selling book (Watch My Back) by writer Geoff Thompson, but as I have not read the book I cannot comment on any similarities.
The plot is pretty straight forward with Mel Raido (Danny) deciding to try and get his confidence back after he is beaten up in front of his two kids.
Seeing as he is already quite a lonely character, separated from his wife and in a dismal job he is enticed by a job as a club doorman but as he gets his confidence back he starts down the wrong path with a gangland boss.
Que lots of shady characters, under cover going on's, grudges and hard life choices.
I was hoping that the film would have the full 80's vibe ...
