Advantages: Excellent story with a strong performance from Douglas Disadvantages: Very few - maybe not as much action as you might expect
One of director Stanley Kubrick's earlier and lesser known films, Paths of Glory is a powerful anti-war film starring Kirk Douglas. Whilst it did not receive any awards at the time, it has since become a classic, and is currently rated #44 on the IMDb chart - Kubrick's second highest film.
Set on the French frontline in 1916, Douglas plays Colonel Dax - an idealistic man who is ordered to lead his French troops on a seemingly impossible mission. Although he reluctantly does so, the mission turns into a disaster; many men die, and they end up retreating back to their trenches.
Disgusted by this apparent display of cowardice, the General Somebody (played by Somebody Somebody) orders a court marshal. Three men must be picked out and executed as an example to the others. Angry at this scapegoating by the generals, Dax chooses to ...
Advantages: Witty, lighthearted view of the law Disadvantages: Too short
It was Mark Twain who uttered the words "Rumours of my death are greatly exaggerated", but had he not done so, I'm sure that Sir John Mortimer would have used them as the opening line to this collection of six short stories, featuring Horace Rumpole, elderly defence barrister of Equity Court and long-time saviour of the petty criminal classes.
Following on from Rumpole Rests His Case, which looked at the time as though it might have been the last ever Rumpole book, Horace finds himself unexpectedly residing at PrimrosePath, a nursing home in deepest Sussex, recovering from, in his words, "a dramatic failure in the ticker department", an event which prompts his over-zealous colleagues in Chambers to convene a meeting to discuss the arrangements for his memorial service. A somewhat premature gesture of course, since Rumpole isn ...
Advantages: Wonderfully drawn characters Disadvantages: A bit big and scary
Big things tend to scare me, as they're frequently filled with stuff you'll never need, or things that are simply there to take up space. Often with large books, you find lots of empty writing, which seems to be there more to increase the page count than to advance the plot. Kate Elliott's recent "Shadow Gate" was one such and, as a result, the sheer size of "Path of Revenge" was off putting.
As it turns out, there was nothing to worry about, as the story was immediately engaging. Locked in a tower lies the husk of what was once a man; beaten and imprisoned by an immortal. After years of thought, he has found a way to kill the immortal, but he needs certain tools to enable him to do so. These tools are scattered, one in each of the lands that make up the world and held by very different people; a fisherman, a young scholar and a Queen ...
