The Complete Saga from Mad Max to Furiosa

El cine al aire libre es una de esas actividades con la que es fácil cruzarse todos los veranos en algún pueblo, e incluso en grandes urbes. Las frescas noches de verano son la excusa perfecta para el cine a la luz de la luna. ¿De donde surge esta aficion por poner una pantalla en medio de una plaza y compartir la experiencia con amigos y vecinos? ¿Como se articula una proyeccion de cine de verano? ¿Cuales son los problemas a los que se enfrenta un equipo profesional de cine ambulante? En este libro, parcialmente autobiografico, trato de dar respuesta a todas estas cuestiones contando una historia del cine hasta hoy desconocida.

Edición Coleccionista. Surgido de la mente de S.S. Wilson, en 1990 se estrenaba un simpatiquísimo largometraje donde unas bestias subterráneas engullían todo lo que se movía. En un primer momento no fue ningun exito de taquilla, pero con el paso del tiempo y el empujon del video domestico, Temblores se convirtio en un clasico del cine de aventuras y ciencia ficcion, sin olvidar cierto aroma al western.Tal fue la acogida en los estantes de los videoclubs que la saga continuo de manera exclusiva en ese ecosistema. Y aunque los niveles de produccion obviamente descendieron, se mantuvo el espiritu original: peliculas divertidas con monstruos antropofagos y personajes adorables.Ahora, una saga con mas de treinta años, con siete peliculas y una serie de television, se ve reflejada en un libro escrito por Octavio Lopez Sanjuan que cuenta con entrevistas a los directores y maximos representantes de la franquicia. Asi, Ron Underwood, Brent Maddock, S.S. Wilson, Vincenzo Natali, Jack Sholder y Don Michael Paul, entre otros, desgranan para este volumen de la coleccion Noche de lobos de Applehead Team los recovecos de cada una de sus respectivas producciones.Pero aun hay mas. Lo que convierte a este libro en algo todavia mas especial es que esta narrado desde el punto de vista de Michael Gross actor esencial y alma de la saga. Asi, con todo lujo de detalles, Gross cuenta su increible aventura cinematografica de mas de tres decadas que le llevo alrededor de todo el mundo para cazar a estas hambrientas criaturas. ¡Os va encantar descubrir la historia de Temblores de boca del mismisimo Burt Gummer! Pero cuidado, no hagais mucho ruido Los graboides sienten las vibraciones

Rafel Miret y Carles BalaguéLos directores, los actores, los argumentos y las historias más interesantes El musical ha sido un género que generalmente ha gozado de escaso prestigio entre los aficionados al cine, excepto en los paises angloparlantes. Sin embargo, pocas formas artisticas son capaces de expresar emociones como la felicidad, la alegria y el amor -pero tambien el dolor y la tristeza- con la misma intensidad que lo hace la musica y la danza. El cine musical reune estas cualidades y las muestra mediante la creacion de un mundo onirico en el que las palabras son sustituidas por canciones y estrofas rimadas. Pero el musical es tambien un genero caro y complejo. Se requiere la estrecha colaboracion de compositores, musicos, coreografos, bailarines y cantantes, ademas de costosos vestuarios y decorados. Quien haya tenido la suerte de ver en su momento peliculas como Sombrero de copa, Cantando bajo la lluvia, Siete novias para siete hermanos, West Side Store o Cabaret, dificilmente podra olvidarlas. Mas recientemente, hemos tenido la oportunidad de disfrutar de grandes titulos que han enriquecido el genero y lo han hecho evolucionar, como Bailar en la oscuridad, Moulin Rouge!, Chicago o Sweeney Todd. A pesar de que el cine musical sea eminentemente americano, los cien films que componen la presente antologia incluyen tambien titulos de otras nacionalidades, puesto que la mayoria de paises los han abordado con mejor o peor fortuna. El libro se complementa con un capitulo dedicado a los hombres y mujeres que han hecho posible la existencia de estas peliculas, tanto desde la silla de direccion como en la pantalla, asi como una reseña historica del genero. Profusamente ilustrado

Ya desde sus albores, el séptimo arte encontró en una modalidad como el peplum uno de sus filones más populares. Pero el cine histórico es algo más que un género claramente delimitado, por cuanto abarca películas de signo y vocación muy dispares, ambientadas en época muy diferentes y alentadas por una óptica muy diversa.
