Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Carrying people's favorite works to the screen is an ungrateful thing to do.
Readers are always very demanding, give them adaptation "word for word" ... and even if everything "has turned out and has come together" - still try to find disadvantages).
However, there are "hard cases" when the work and "carry something" was not worth it - on the bookshelf of his place.
Today, just an example of a stunning six-part film novel and other.
- Good Omens.
“When it's over, the Lord will show everyone the Rainbow thing as a promise never to drown anyone else”.
“How humane”.
A city fantasy based on the eponymous novel by Neil Heyman and Terry Pratchett.
The end of the world is near.
According to the prediction of the city witch, the Apocalypse will take place literally on Saturday. The Antichrist is among people, and he is gaining strength and power.
However, Adam Jung, a teenager, has no sleep or spirit that he is an Antichrist, and it turns out that his fate depends on him ... lives for himself and lives.
But the angel Azirafel and the demon Crawley know. Only in order to save the Earth, they need to unite their efforts, to work in pairs, to find a boy and, to do so, to prevent the Apocalypse, because for centuries they have managed to gently love the earthly life and people.
The series is a bomb! I think even the most biased connoisseur of Neil Heiman's and Terry Pratchett's works should be satisfied. I am very excited).
Michael Sheen and David Tennant are incredible in the images of Angel and Demon.
It's hard to imagine a more demonic demon than Tennant and an angelic touching angel than Shin! One hundred percent hit in the image!
I will not tire you with dithyramids about everything else. Creators applaud standing up!
Guys, hurry up. Who has not yet had time to watch the series Good signs, put all the cases aside and start watching urgently ... before it is banned.
Someone particularly gifted saw in the show mockery of the feelings of believers and made a petition, say we demand to ban the series for satanic "motives"!
Apparently, these people have a sense of humor, sarcasm, and irony at the mark "below the skirting board".
Once in my life I had a chance to talk to a man who is completely humourless. It was the longest hour and a half of my life).
And it's okay that the novel came out in 1990, and why the advocates of morality were silent for almost 30 years? Read the novel and overpower so many letters of the mind was not enough?
And the screen version of the novel suddenly hurt the feelings of believers. Man, what a nonsense. And in general, who allowed them to watch worldly TV?)
Series Good signs - that rare case when the series is beautiful as an angel, and it is a damn shame that the episodes are only six!)
Downloaded it on disk, just in case, suddenly, really forbidden, the law is not written to fools.
- What did he say that everyone was so mad at him?
- Be kind to each other.

2. Country of Christmas.
One day a huge black ghost Cadillac arrived in town with a number NOS4A2. Driving an old, scary uncle in black. He lured the child into the car, promising to take him to the land of Christmas eternity,
and... the baby's gone.
Then the story begins to grow into unusual characters.
Vicky McQueen - has the gift to move in space, in the world of lost things.
Librarian Villa - with the help of purple bag and bones with letters, can answer any question.
Bing Partridge is a security guard from the school, essentially a big child, a comic book fan.
In the course of history, all the disparate characters will come together in one "starting point", and the story will become a single, indestructible, complete story. A story about how to defeat the monster on the Cadillac that steals children's souls.
Screen version of the novel King Jr., which creates under the pseudonym of Joe Hill. The third novel and immediately on the screens ... ue, I feel it did not do without my father's authoritative intervention.)
King Sr. himself was very pleased with the debut of the offspring, and the audience?
This is exactly the case when not all works are worthy of screen time. I honestly the first three series looked carefully, convincing myself that now "as the action begins, as it begins" ... And Herman, I'm sorry, there is no action and no action).
And even when the "forces of good" finally united and started "active" attack on the "forces of evil" by a single front, everything remained sad and not afraid ... and then suddenly, bootstraps, and somehow suddenly it all ended.
It seems to me that the series has earned at least some rating exclusively thanks to the talent of John Shiban (all the hard ones), because there is nothing "outstanding" except the director and cameraman work in the series is no longer.
Perhaps still a beautiful Ashley Cummings (Lady Detective) on the excellent job coped with the role of Vicky McQueen ... that's all the pros of the series.
Christmas country - a long, tedious narrative with a claim to a deep philosophical subtext, which is not able to entice and entertain.
See the "curse" of the father somehow "caught" and the son).
