 Rating:  - Erotica for the brain dead .....I should have known better than to buy a book of the re-published (supposedly) works of the monthly underground magazine, The Oyster, and then compiled here in book form .... The over 400 page book is divided into two parts but deals primarily with the coming of age of Andrew, a young boy in one of those lecherous boading schools in Victorian England. These serial publications of the Oyster must have been read by people on their lunch hours as they had very little time for plot, character development or setting because the book is at least 390 pages of nothing but sex. Don't get me wron I've got nothing against sex but this book has 'zippo' erotica content .... Thereis no pursuit, no capture, no submission, only the professor saying that rather than teaching a lesson on history I'll just leave all you young lads with Lucy, my niece, so she can teach you lessons of life. And so, Lucy and her friends teach the boys their lessons .. over and over and over and over and over ..... get the picture ..... Rating:  - Erotic MasterpieceUnrelentingly lubricious, "The Oyster" is also, of all works of erotica in any genre, perhaps the most successfully sustained portrait of a feel-good eros without cruelty or regret; unlike almost every other sex-themed work ever attempted, this book's characters never suffer ambivalence about a sexual act, nor do they ever take stock of their own or another's debauchment. Part enlightened how-to manual for the Victorian Age, part feminist/ Socialist manifesto, this work is unrelentingly charming, gracious,-- and phenomenally arousing. Like the lover of one's dreams, it carries off the nastiest things while taking away any unpleasant psychological "nastiness," leaving only sensual transport and tender, loving vibes. If any work of pornography deserves comparison to Mozart, Jane Austen, or Vermeer, this is it. Its worldview has to be experienced in order to be believed-- it is perhaps the one work of erotica which would delight every palatte and deserve inclusion on every bookshelf-- it is the indisputable masterpiece of its kind. |

Critics and audiences didn't seem too happy with Back to the Future, Part II, the inventive, perhaps too clever sequel. Director Zemeckis and cast bent over backwards to add layers of time-travel complication, and while it surely exercises the brain it isn't necessarily funny in the same way that its predecessor was. It's well worth a visit, though, just to appreciate the imagination that went into it, particularly in a finale that has Marty watching his own actions from the first film. --Tom Keogh
Shot back-to-back with the second chapter in the trilogy, Back to the Future, Part III is less hectic than that film and has the same sweet spirit of the first, albeit in a whole new setting. This time, Marty ends up in the Old West of 1885, trying to prevent the death of mad scientist Christopher Lloyd at the hands of gunman Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen (Thomas F. Wilson, who had a recurring role as the bully Biff). Director Zemeckis successfully blends exciting special effects with the traditions of a Western and comes up with something original and fun. --Tom Keogh
