Triple bill of horror films. In 'Devil Riders' (2009), lawyers
Robert (Bertie Higgins) and Allen (J.D. Rudometkin) go on a
five-stop motorcycle poker run, along with their wives Susan (Debra
Hopkins) and Cheri (Jasmine Waltz), but on the way they encounter
psychopaths Ray (Robert Thorne) and Billy (Jay Wisell). Before long
Susan and Cheri are kidnapped and Robert and Allen are put through
their paces in a number of horrific challenges as they attempt to
get their wives back. In 'The Maze' (2010), five teenagers decide
to explore a corn maze one night. Unbeknown to them, however, a
murderous lunatic lurks within the maze and is luring them to their
deaths. Will any of them make it out alive? In 'The Goatman
Murders' (2011), a group of friends on a road trip to Florida
experience some car trouble and end up in the Maryland countryside
where an axe-wielding murderer, who is half-man, half-goat, begins
to kill them one by one. Will there be any survivors?
Red Knots are in the sandpiper family. They are barely ten inches
long and weigh about twenty ounces. Each spring they breed in the
Arctic, but in the year that follows they will migrate to the
southern tip of South America and back again in their quest for
food. Why and how they travel more than 18,000 miles each year,
often as many as 2,500 miles nonstop (and at speeds averaging
between thirty and forty miles per hour), is the subject of this
engrossing and beautifully illustrated book. Based on a popular
NOVA series on migration, The Flight of the Red Knot is the story
of an ornithological marvel by one of the world's foremost
authorities. Here we learn of the marvelous physical equipment of
the long-distance flyers, their extraordinary food storage
capacity, and the nature of their ever-moving food supply. The
methods of research into the Red Knots' life cycle are also
described. Bird lovers especially, but also any one interested in
nature will love this book.
