This is probably the best film book I've read in the last five years. The organization of the book is extremely intelligent, the range of authors is incredible, and their comments are always useful, thought provoking, and fun to read. Most books that cover a range of films offer only descriptions of individual movies. Lewis' book, of course, tells us about the important films of the nineties. ...             Keeping the British End Up: Four Decades of Saucy Cinema2 reviews Simon Sheridan Reynolds & Hearn, 2005 forgotten humour I have had this book for ages now. It was bought for me as I am a fan of the Carry On films. I read about all of the films and saw the Confessions films on television, I thought that they were fun. To me these films are only one step up from the Carry On's, in there sex content. I found them so good I made it my mission in life to find these movies and watch as many as I could. This book has ...             The Art of Pirates of the Caribbean21 reviews Disney Editions, 2007 A big book filled with detailed sketches and paintings This is a humongous book. In one photo below, I've put my number-pad-less keyboard for comparison. The hardcover has a leather type treatment and slightly spongy to make it feel like an ancient book. The paper stock is thick and there are several fold out pages. This book contains concept art for the 3 movies for Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, Dead Man's Chest and At ...             Independent Film Distribution: How to Make a Successful End Run Around the Big Guys16 reviews Phil Hall Michael Wiese Productions, 2006 One book indie filmmakers should not miss After years of watching movies and perhaps having friends, family, and acquaintances tell you that you should write a screenplay or make a movie, you've decided that that's what you want to do with some of the months or years ahead. First, don't panic. Lots of people have had this epiphany before. It's a long journey, but the rewards can be rich if you remember that it's step by step, and not ...             Marilyn Monroe: From Beginning to End : Newly Discovered Photographs by Earl Leaf from the Michael Ochs ...3 reviews Michael Ventura Blandford Pr, 1997 Beautiful Photographs! The pictures of Marilyn in this book are wonderful..I thought I saw them all until I got this book. I recommend to all Marilyn fans, it is a must.             Bring Me That Horizon: The Making of Pirates of the Caribbean15 reviews Michael Singer Disney Editions, 2007 Beautiful book! Love it! This book is a must have for Pirates fans. The photos and illustrations are just beautiful, and the information within its pages is so interesting and educational as to how the movies were made! I am by no means a book expert, I just buy what I like, and I am a diehard Pirates fan, so I recommend this book highly. I had to chuckle at one of the other reviews that mildly rebuked the author ...             From Broadway to the Bowery: A History and Filmography of the Dead End Kids, Little Tough Guys, East Side ...5 reviews Leonard Getz McFarland & Company, Inc., Publishers, 2006 THE BOYS GET THEIR JUST REWARD! One fond memory I have of growing up in the early 70's is that every Saturday afternoon, one of our local TV stations used to play a Bowery Boys movie. My brothers and I loved the boys and their antics and we were blithely unaware that these "boys" were actually pushing forty by the time they were making their last few movies in the late 1950's. Long panned by critics, the Bowery Boys/East Side ...             The Yes Men: The True Story of the End of the World Trade Organization2 reviews The Yes Men The Disinformation Company, 2004 Go see the movie! The Yes Men are a small group of pranksters/anti-World Trade Organization activists bent on disrupting global free trade in some of the most unusual manners. Some of their past stunts included altering some GI Joe and Barbie dolls and switching their voices, and creating a website that was very similiar to then Governor George W. Bush around the time he decided to run for president. I loved ...             Field Guide to the Apocalypse: Movie Survival Skills for the End of the World14 reviews Meghann Marco Simon Spotlight Entertainment, 2005 Buy It. Read It. Tell other people about it. - Do houseguests constantly complain that you've got nothing interesting to read in the bathroom? - Do friends complain that waiting impatiently for you (as you try on your 33rd successive outfit while getting ready to go to the club) is boring because your coffee table contains only archaic episodes of the Onion and a few unpaid cable bills* to read? - Are you constantly searching for 'light' ...             Dreams and Dead Ends: The American Gangster Film2 reviews Jack Shadoian Oxford University Press, USA, 2003 'Top of the world, Ma!'

This book is a great read! It's stylish, witty, action packed and full of youthful bravado. A barely twenty year old Flynn and three chums set sail up the east coast of Australia in a sail boat Flynn acquires during a binge. While not all the details are exactly true, the nuts and bolts of his story are. You're right there with him,and at the end, wish he'd written more - before his demons ...             End of Celluloid: Film Futures in the Digital Age2 reviews Matt Hanson RotoVision, 2004 Well written and illustrated survey of the future of film... With the recent slump in the box office receipts, Matt Hanson's book is highly poignant. In it, the author surveys various film-makers on the cutting edge of experimentation as they try to redefine and push the boundaries of the artform. The likes of Matthew Barney and Koji Morimoto (of the Akira fame) receive their dues. Furthermore, Hanson also pays particular attention to how the evolution ...             The "End": Closing Lines of over 3,000 Theatrically Released American Films2 reviews R. Donna Chesher McFarland & Company, 1992 Essential Book For anyone interested in the cinema, this work is an absolutely essential reference. I am amazed that it took so long for someone to recognize the importance and significance of last lines in movies and also to collect them in one comprehensive volume. Use it as a reference book or read it for pleasure. It works admirably on both levels. A "must have" - an indispensable volume.             No End in Sight: Iraq's Descent into Chaos6 reviews Charles Ferguson PublicAffairs, 2008 or the decline and fall of the US Empire This is heartbreaking on more fronts than you can readily imagine. If you want to know why the US election in 2008 matters so much around the world, read this book. In unblinking and unbiased assessment, Ferguson details not just the imperial hubris but the brute ignorance of a samll group of capitalist exploiters looking to make one more killing on the backs of those not among the ruling class ...             Bored to Distraction: Cinema of Excess in End-Of-The-Century Mexico and Spain (Suny Series in Latin American ... Claudia Schaefer State University of New York Press, 2003 Examines how recent Mexican and Spanish films act as untroubling distractions from everyday routine.             Hollywood Science: Movies, Science, and the End of the World3 reviews Sidney Perkowitz Columbia University Press, 2007 Instructive Fictional Science in the Movies "Hollywood Science" would seem to be a contradiction in terms. The Blob? Mothra? The Giant Mantis? Science fiction movies are a Hollywood staple, and they are also are disproportionately represented among the worst movies ever made. So how can Sidney Perkowitz, who is a research physicist and a professor of physics, take them seriously? Well, he doesn't take all of them seriously, but many ...             At Century's End Nathan Gardels Wolfhound Press, 1997             Apocalypse Movies: End of the World Cinema7 reviews Kim Newman St. Martin's Press, 2000 The End of the World Was Never So Much Fun To appreciate this book you must have enjoyed watching either giant insects (of any sort) or a zombie-like person stumbling after someone with a delicious brain. If either of these concepts sound like a bad idea for cinema, this book may not be for you. Kim Newman's Apocalypse Movies (End of the World Cinema) is a joy to read as he takes the reader through a rogue's gallery of weird charaters ...             The Mouse that Roared: Disney and the End of Innocence (Culture and Education Series)15 reviews Henry A. Giroux Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc., 1999 Disney trains consumers. Once I read my daughter a book. At age 3, she turned to me and said "buy me the movie of that." There was no movie of that book, but at age three, my child had already learned that a book means a movie, slippers, pajamas, and action figures. Instead of asking me about the book, or commenting upon the character, the only way she expressed her pleasure was in thinking about what we would buy as ...              search for books american, apocalypse, archives, beginning, biographies, broadway, caribbean, celluloid, closing, descent, discovered, distraction, distribution, education, end-of-the-century, filmography, futures, gangster, hollywood, horizon, independent, innocence, michael, nineties, organization, photographs, released, successful, survival, theatrically books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
