Sinopsis

Cult Movie Legends explores the captivating phenomenon of movies that, despite initial failure or ridicule, achieve enduring cult status and devoted fan bases. This book delves into the film history behind these unconventional narratives, examining how factors like low-budget filmmaking and genre-bending contribute to their unique appeal. It reveals how audience reception and fan culture, including online communities, play a crucial role in sustaining these films' legacies.

 
The book begins by defining "cult film" and establishing an analytical framework, progressing to explore the specific characteristics that often mark films destined for cult status. For example, movies like Plan 9 from Outer Space demonstrate how even films considered to be "bad" can garner dedicated followers. Subsequent chapters investigate audience participation and the broader cultural impact of cult films, examining their influence on mainstream cinema and various art forms. 

 
Through film analysis, historical research, and audience studies, Cult Movie Legends offers a comprehensive look at this cinematic landscape. The book connects to fields such as sociology and media theory, providing insights into fandom and cultural consumption. It empowers readers to critically analyze films and understand the forces that shape their cultural significance, making it valuable for film enthusiasts and students alike.

    A Falling of Angels is the second part of the Sam Holloway Trilogy of military, action/adventure audiobooks by W T Delaney. The story unfolds against the backdrop of the western world's current struggle against Islamic terrorism. It's London in 2019 and the Islamic State has crumbled, and a team of British-born jihadists is on its way home with revenge and mass murder in mind. When a British agent within Daesh reveals a suicide bomb plot, Samantha Holloway, an ex-British Army Intelligence Corps operator, and her team of former Special Forces soldiers, are contracted by the Security Services to help. Sam's team must race to prevent the attack against the gripping backdrop of a secret, complex, and morally dubious CIA plot, to locate and capture the terrorist mastermind. Has Sam's team been told the truth as the clock ticks towards an attack on the heart of government? All three interlinked novels are based against a factual historical backdrop. The team works together again in the final book of the series An Evil Shadow Falls.  The author has drawn on his own experiences gathered while working as an intelligence officer in both Iraq and Afghanistan to craft the stories. The narrator served with him. ***** Five stars again for Delaney.***** I listened to this in two sessions.***** Brilliant, Delaney's background nails the authenticity once again.***** This audiobook is as gripping as the first. ***** Delaney is a tour de force! I literally couldn't put this book down. He makes the complex murky world of counterintelligence infinitely entertaining. Loved it!

    Tanks of the Eastern Front -...

    The Eastern Front of World War II was a vast and brutal theater of combat that spanned thousands of miles, from the icy steppes of northern Russia to the warm plains of the Ukraine. It was here that some of the largest and most decisive battles of the war took place, involving millions of soldiers, tanks, and aircraft. The conflict between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union began in 1941 with the German invasion under Operation Barbarossa, and it would continue until the final Soviet assault on Berlin in 1945. This epic struggle not only shaped the outcome of the war but also fundamentally altered the future of Europe and the global balance of power. 
      
    The war on the Eastern Front was marked by its sheer scale and the intensity of its combat. The German Army, bolstered by its formidable armored forces, initially swept across Soviet territory with alarming speed, encircling entire Soviet armies and capturing vast stretches of land. However, the Soviet Union, under the leadership of Joseph Stalin, mobilized its resources and manpower to repel the invasion. The conflict would evolve into a war of attrition, with both sides suffering staggering casualties in their attempt to either conquer or defend the heartland of Eastern Europe. 
      
    The role of tanks on the Eastern Front cannot be overstated. Both the Germans and Soviets relied heavily on armored vehicles, with each side developing and refining its tank forces throughout the war. German tanks, such as the Panzer III, IV, and the iconic Tiger, were initially superior in design and firepower. However, the Soviet Union, despite early setbacks, quickly adapted and mass-produced the T-34, which would become one of the most effective and influential tanks of the war. The T-34’s combination of mobility, armor, and firepower helped shift the balance of armored warfare in favor of the Soviets.

    For centuries, Christians and Muslims were embroiled in one of the most infamous territorial disputes of all time, viciously and relentlessly battling one another for the Holy Land. In the heart of Jerusalem sat one of the shining jewels of the Christian faith, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Legend has it that this was where their Savior had been buried before his fabled resurrection. What was more, it was said to house the very cross Jesus Christ had died upon. It was for precisely these reasons that fearless pilgrims, near and far, risked their lives and made the treacherous trek to Jerusalem.  
    	The Order of the Temple of Solomon, also known as the Templars or the Knights Templar, is one of the best-known and least-understood groups in history. They appear prominently in everything from novels (The Da Vinci Code) to films (as the Knights of the Cruciform Sword in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade) to videogames (Assassin's Creed). In these stories, they are a sinister cult that manipulated historical events since the Middle Ages, via intimidation and assassination. They are usually connected to the Freemasons and, sometimes, to other historical cults like the Hindu Thuggees. 
    	The knights of the Teutonic Order have since been compared to the surreal creature that appeared to the biblical Ezekiel, one that bore 2 faces – one of a man's, and one of a lion's. The human side of the creature is said to symbolize the order's charity, whereas the lion was a metaphor for its valor and gallant spirit, which they relied on to vanquish the heathens of the world. 	Like other secretive groups, the mystery surrounding these military orders helped their legacies endure. While some conspiracy theorists attempt to tie the groups to other alleged secret societies like the Illuminati, other groups have tried to assert connections with them to bolster their own credentials.
