Title: Dark Directions Subtitle: Romero, Craven, Carpenter, and the Modern Horror Film Author: Kendall R. Phillips Narrator: Scotty Drake Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 45 mins Language: English Release date: 11-20-12 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 23 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film Publisher's Summary: A Nightmare on Elm Street. Halloween. Night of the Living Dead. These films have been indelibly stamped on moviegoers' psyches and are now considered seminal works of horror. Guiding readers along the twisted paths between audience, auteur, and cultural history, author Kendall R. Phillips reveals the macabre visions of these films' directors in Dark Directions: Romero, Craven, Carpenter, and the Modern Horror Film. Phillips begins by analyzing the works of George Romero, focusing on how the body is used cinematically to reflect the duality between society and chaos, concluding that the unconstrained bodies of the Living Dead films act as a critical intervention into social norms. Phillips then explores the shadowy worlds of director Wes Craven. In his study of the films The Serpent and the Rainbow, Deadly Friend, Swamp Thing, Red Eye, and Shocker, Phillips reveals Craven's vision of technology as inherently dangerous in its ability to cross the gossamer thresholds of the gothic. Finally, the volume traverses the desolate frontiers of iconic director John Carpenter. Through an exploration of such works as Halloween, The Fog, and In the Mouth of Madness, Phillips delves into the director's representations of boundaries - and the haunting consequences for those who cross them. The first volume ever to address these three artists together, Dark Directions is a spine-tingling and thought-provoking study of the horror genre. In analyzing the individual works of Romero, Craven, and Carpenter, Phillips illuminates some of the darkest minds in horror cinema. Critic Reviews: Despite the powerful influence a number of their remarkable films continue to exercise, John Carpenter, Wes Craven, and George Romero do not often receive the sort of auteurist analysis provided by Dark Directions. This book will be especially eye-opening for those relatively unfamiliar with the careers of these underappreciated directors, as Kendall Phillips describes their work in ways that encourage the reader to seek out the films for a closer look. (Adam Lowenstein, University of Pittsburgh, author of Shocking Representation: Historical Trauma, National Cinema, and the Modern Horror Film) In Dark Directions, Kendall Phillips offers scrupulous readings of the film rhetorics of auteurs George Romero, Wes Craven, and John Carpenter, showing how they engage the anxieties of contemporary culture in thematic explorations of the body (Romero), the Gothic (Craven), and the frontier (Carpenter). (Thomas W. Benson, Penn State University) Dark Directions makes good on its promise to place Carpenter, Craven, and George Romero within the pantheon of important '70s filmmakers. Discussing the themes and storytelling abilities of each director, Phillips has a definitive case for their inclusion with the likes of Martin Scorcese in terms of influence. (Nick Spacek) Members Reviews: Some decent analysis if you can stay awake The first challenge that I had with this book was making it past the almost two hours of the author telling me what he was GOING to talk about before actually getting to the content in earnest. The analysis of each work feels a bit stretched. Reminds me of when I was in college and tried to BS my way through a essay by applying small amounts of theory and stretching them in an effort to substantiate my position.

A Thousand Cuts Audiobook by Dennis Bartok, Jeff Joseph

Title: A Thousand Cuts Subtitle: The Bizarre Underground World of Collectors and Dealers Who Saved the Movies Author: Dennis Bartok, Jeff Joseph Narrator: Gary L Willprecht Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 06-21-17 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film Publisher's Summary: A Thousand Cuts is a candid exploration of one of America's strangest and most quickly vanishing subcultures. It is about the death of physical film in the digital era and about a paranoid, secretive, eccentric, and sometimes obsessive group of film-mad collectors who made movies and their projection a private religion in the time before DVDs and Blu-rays. The book includes the stories of film historian/critic Leonard Maltin, TCM host Robert Osborne discussing Rock Hudson's secret 1970s film vault, RoboCop producer Jon Davison dropping acid and screening King Kong with Jefferson Airplane at the Fillmore East, and Academy Award-winning film historian Kevin Brownlow recounting his decades-long quest to restore the 1927 Napoleon. Authors Dennis Bartok and Jeff Joseph examine the FBI's and Justice Department's campaign to harass, intimidate, and arrest film dealers and collectors in the early 1970s. Many of those persecuted were gay men. Victims included Planet of the Apes star Roddy McDowall, who was arrested in 1974 for film collecting and forced to name names of fellow collectors, including Rock Hudson and Mel Tormé. A Thousand Cuts explores the obsessions of the colorful individuals who created their own screening rooms, spent vast sums, negotiated underground networks, and even risked legal jeopardy to pursue their passion for real, physical film. The book is published by University Press of Mississippi. Critic Reviews: "Best Film Books of 2016." (Huffington Post) "A real eye-opener...this book will provide a much-needed boost to the spirits of movie fans who fear that photographic film - the stuff that comes in rolls - is disappearing from our planet." (Booklist) "A great read for anyone interested in the underbelly of Hollywood." (Alison Martino, journalist for Los Angeles Magazine and Vintage Los Angeles) Members Reviews: A Riveting exploration of the secretive niche world of film collectors A wonderful insight into the 20th Century secretive world of film collectors and film collecting and the sad era of government persecution (1970's) when copyright was deemed as sufficient cause for individual citizens to not own a private library or personal collection of feature films. Today the 'first sale' provision of the US Copyright Act has rendered the prosecution obsolete, but it is still appalling that such a dark era in American film history ever happened at all and that so many in the film collecting hobby were prosecuted, some even serving jail time, as the book recounts, for making private home ownership of movies possible. the book is a fascinating read and throughout-provoking as it chronicles individuals in the secretive niche film collecting hobby. but also infect the reader with an increasing respect and admiration for those individuals that took to this hobby of film colle "A Thousand Cuts.." is a bracing and invigorating read. Dennis Bartok and Jeff Joseph not only expose a little known part of Film history, but also infect the reader with an increasing respect and admiration for those individuals that took to this hobby of film collecting solely for their own enjoyment and evolved into a passion for preserving an artifact that is becoming more and more obsolete.

Critical Mass: Four Decades of Essays, Reviews, Hand Grenades and Hurrahs Audiobook by James Wolcott

bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (James Wolcott) — Mon, 25 Aug 2014 23:46:36 GMT

Title: Critical Mass: Four Decades of Essays, Reviews, Hand Grenades and Hurrahs Author: James Wolcott Narrator: Kevin T. Collins Format: Unabridged Length: 25 hrs and 7 mins Language: English Release date: 08-25-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film Publisher's Summary: A career-spanning collection of critical essays and cultural journalism from one of the most acute, entertaining, and sometimes acerbic (but in a good way) critics of our time. From his early-seventies dispatches as a fledgling critic for The Village Voice on rock n roll, comedy, movies, and television to the literary criticism of the eighties and nineties that made him both feared and famous to his must-read reports on the cultural weather for Vanity Fair, James Wolcott has had a career as a freelance critic and a literary intellectual nearly unique in our time. This collection features the best of Wolcott in whatever guiseconnoisseur, intrepid reporter, memoirist, and necessary naysayerhe has chosen to take on. Included in this collection is O.K. Corral Revisited, a fresh take on the famed Norman MailerGore Vidal dustup on The Dick Cavett Show that launched Wolcott from his Maryland college to New York City (via bus) to begin his brilliant career. His prescient review of Patti Smiths legendary first gig at CBGB leads off a suite of eyewitness and insider accounts of the rise of punk rock, while another set of pieces considers the vast cultural influence of the enigmatic Johnny Carson and the scramble of his late-night successors to inherit the swivel throne. There are warm tributes to such diverse figures as Michael Mann, Sam Peckinpah, Lester Bangs, and Philip Larkin and masterly summings-up of the departed giants of American literatureJohn Updike, William Styron, John Cheever, and Mailer and Vidal. Included as well are some legendary takedowns that have entered into the literary lore of our time. Critical Mass is a treasure trove of sparkling, spiky prose and a fascinating portrait of our lives and cultural times over the past decades. In an age where a great deal of back scratching and softball pitching pass for criticism, James Wolcotts fearless essays and reviews offer a bracing taste of the real critical thing. Members Reviews: Forty Years of Astute, Opinionated Criticism James Wolcott's writing still packs a punch and a guffaw. It's forty years of astute, opinionated cultural criticism. There aren't many writers around who have such a wide range of interests and can keep you eating it up subject by subject. Here, I was introduced to the slyly subversive humor of Mort Sahl, and reminded that Rock Hudson and Doris Day have a lot more to offer than a punchline to a joke about squares. Critical Mass is chock-full of cultural milestones, from the infamous Norman Mailer v. Gore Vidal smack-down on the Dick Cavett Show to a fresh new band performing at CBGBs: The Talking Heads. Where else are you going to get such an immediate account of the New York art scene as it happened, as if it were happening RIGHT NOW? Kevin T. Collin's narration has the air of seen-it-all, intellectual superiority and braggadocio of a long-time writer and critic. Wolcott holds some strong opinions, and Collins delivers them with conviction. Good but... ...repetitious as collections of reviews over the decades can often prove to be. This is more so here than most. The book proves a series of diminishing pleasures. Sample regularly rather than one after another, and this will be less the case.

How Game of Thrones Will End Audiobook by Valerie Estelle Frankel

Title: How Game of Thrones Will End Subtitle: The History, Politics, and Pop Culture Driving the Show to its Finish Author: Valerie Estelle Frankel Narrator: Tamara Marston Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 01-13-15 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 35 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film Publisher's Summary: As many know, Game of Thrones takes its story from many influences: the War of the Roses, Catherine de Medici, Norse and Celtic myth as well as medieval ballads. Modern readers find parallels with politics, the corporate world, and conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan. Will the story end like Lord of the Rings or completely invert it? How about King Arthur? Pop culture and parody author Valerie Estelle Frankel examines the sources and predicts a Game of Thrones ending for each one. What will the Ragnarok ending look like? Or the Narnia ending? Who will live, who will die, and how goofy can the war of ice and fire possibly get? Members Reviews: VE Frankel's best audible title on Game of Thrones no clear spoilers here. many potential plot paths explored, but none seem to capture the magic. some of them are very funny, but implausibe, many of them plausible but uninspired. more importantly is being able to discover all the inspirations. G RR Martin is definitly derivative with his writing. always paying homage to something or someone. i personally love this about Martin. and i think having all these connections to history, myth, culture, and politics is refreshing and is the main reason the world of ice and fire is soo emersive Same as previous books, now with a silly preface! This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? Someone who didn't read the other 2 similarly themes books the author has released in the last calendar year. Any additional comments? Look, I understand everyone is waiting for a new GRRM book, and I found her first book marginally insightful, but it's just getting a little gratuitous at this point. Read Frankel's first book on the subject, read actual books on War of the Roses, etc. or just wait for Winds of Winter. not that good narrator was good but the content was just hashed over stuff again and again and again. should of spent my time listening to something else It was done before the World book It is good and reflects many ideas of the forum (and many others I have no heard) but it lacked the world book

Final Cuts Audiobook by Nat Segaloff

Title: Final Cuts Subtitle: The Last Films of 50 Great Directors Author: Nat Segaloff Narrator: Nat Segaloff Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 23 mins Language: English Release date: 08-08-13 Publisher: BearManor Media Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 15 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film Publisher's Summary: Critic-producer Nat Segaloff was granted access to private papers, production records, never-before-published interviews, and specialized archives in reconstructing the colorful, touching, and sometimes scandalous stories behind the making of the last films of some of Hollywood's top directors. Winningly listenable and yet meticulously researched, its substantial entries range from Robert Aldrich and Robert Altman to Peter Yates and Fred Zinnemann, and John Ford and Howard Hawks to Otto Preminger and Richard Brooks. Certain to attract controversy because of whom it ignores as well as whom it includes, Final Cuts presents 50 widely varied chronicles of success and failure, inspiration and ennui, elation and heartache, and every other emotion enjoyed or endured by the greatest filmmakers that Hollywood ever knew. Members Reviews: A fascinating book marred by a bad reading What did you love best about Final Cuts? The story was unique and engaging. Who was your favorite character and why? N/A Did the narration match the pace of the story? NO. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes. Any additional comments? This is a good book marred by a bad reading. The author seldom takes a breath; if you aren't paying close attention, you can move onto the next director and not even know it. I didn't realize I was past the prologue and into the first chapter for over three minutes. Also, this book sound like it was done at the guy's house at times, and there is no editing at all. When the author makes a mistake, he pauses (the only real pauses in the narration!) goes back a few words, and starts over; pages can be heard turning as he goes through his script, and in Chapter 18, either the file is bad, or the author skipped a few lines because something is missing. That said, it's not all bad, and the material is engaging enough that I now want to buy the kindle version of the book.

Play All Audiobook by Clive James

Title: Play All Subtitle: A Bingewatchers Notebook Author: Clive James Narrator: Clive Chafer Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 47 mins Language: English Release date: 08-30-16 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 10 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film Publisher's Summary: Television and TV viewing are not what they once were - and that's a good thing, according to award-winning author and critic Clive James. Since serving as television columnist for the London Observer from 1972 to 1982, James has witnessed a radical change in content, format, and programming, and in the very manner in which television is watched. Here he examines this unique cultural revolution, providing a brilliant, eminently entertaining analysis of many of the medium's most notable 21st-century accomplishments and their not-always-subtle impact on modern society - including such acclaimed serial dramas as Breaking Bad, The West Wing, Mad Men, and The Sopranos, as well as the comedy 30 Rock. With intelligence and wit, James explores a television landscape expanded by cable and broadband and profoundly altered by the advent of Netflix, Amazon, and other "cord-cutting" platforms that have helped to usher in a golden age of unabashed binge-watching. Members Reviews: An interesting if pointless book The book presented an interesting idea but became dull and uninspiring by the end. If you like listening to an old man talk you through dvds hes watched and then reciting the plot and long lists of other movies and shows this reminded him off then this is for you.

Game of Thrones Revealed Audiobook by Nicholas Devon

Title: Game of Thrones Revealed Author: Nicholas Devon Narrator: Sam Slydell Format: Unabridged Length: 49 mins Language: English Release date: 07-14-16 Publisher: Smartbios Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film Publisher's Summary: Do you love Game of Thrones? Have you ever wondered why your favorite characters do what they do? What their background and lore are? Take a peek inside the ingenious mind of author George R.R Martin and discover the background and greatest secrets of the Game of Thrones series. Inside, you will find an in depth character description and background, the genesis of GoT as well as what led Martin to write the award-winning series. Members Reviews: Written by a computer, narrated by a robot. Awful. This is the most bizarre and awful piece of writing, but not bad enough to be entertaining. The author seems to have very little knowledge of the English language or commonplace grammar. It seems like a bad translation from a different language. The closest I can describe is how assembly directions from a non English speaking country. It's stilted and lifeless, as is the narrator. I had to give it at least one star in each category in order to submit but I do that under protest.

The Directors Audiobook by Robert J. Emery

Emery Narrator: Steven Menasche Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 12 mins Language: English Release date: 02-24-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film Publisher's Summary: The Directors, Take Three offers dozens of masterful insights on the craft of directing from such renowned filmmakers as Robert Altman, Wes Craven, Alan Parker, Tim Burton, Steven Spielberg, and Barry Levinson. Here are details of their experiences making a variety of classic films from Nashville to Nightmare on Elm Street, Rain Man to Raging Bull, and Pee Wee's Big Adventure to Schindler's List. Editorial Reviews: Robert Altman and Martin Scorsese are just two of the revered directors profiled in Robert J. Emery's revelatory The Directors: Take Three. An award-winning author and screenwriter in his own right, Emery guides the listener through these masters' formative years, illuminates their artistic processes, and offers humorous behind-the-scenes anecdotes from their major and minor works. The expansive, cinematic quality of Steven Menasche's voice suits the subject matter perfectly, and he adroitly captures the brilliant, eccentric, and colorful nature of these legends of cinema. Members Reviews: Good book, terrible narration What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? The performance should have been more conversational. It's robotic and patronizing while reading text that is very conversational. English is my first language. I don't need someone to read conversational text this carefully, over enunciating every speck of it. You're not defusing a bomb. Just read it. How did the narrator detract from the book? Maybe this style of narration works for some people, but it almost wrecked the book for me. The performance is so robotic and over-enunciated that it comes off as patronizing and almost sarcastic. I almost stopped several times because I couldn't stand the performance. It was probably directed this way, which makes me wonder, does the director of this recording ever actually listen to people talk? Can he stand listening to this, and expect listeners to take numerous hours of this over-exaggerated insanity? Was this done on purpose? Any additional comments? Once I was sufficiently numbed to the performance and resigned to finish the book, the stories in it are actually quite good, and well worth it for those interested in directing. Great book! What did you love best about The Directors? Wonderful look at the the work of these fine artists! Who was your favorite character and why? I really enjoyed the chapters on Robert Altman and Barry Levinson - two of my favorite directors. What does Steven Menasche bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? His performance was particularly engaging. I have listened to quite a number of audio books through various companies, and I have been involved in the recording of audio books through the Andrew Heiskill Braille and Talking Book Library in NYC. Mr. Menasche brings an authoritative and confident tone to his reading that many narrators in the field simply do not have. I don't know how much he actually knows about these directors and their work, but his narration makes me feel as though he was the real author of the book. He obviously really loves the material and feels deeply connected to it, OR, he's just a damn fine actor.

Janet McCabe's fine work has addressed that omission with a concise and highly readable account that will be useful to anyone interested in American culture and media." (Michele Hilmes, author of Network Nations: A Transnational History of British and American Broadcasting) Members Reviews: Book is worth 5 stars. Narration a bit robotic. Would you listen to The West Wing: TV Milestones again? Why? Yes. I loved The West Wing and the book did a good job of telling of it's making and it's successes. The narration is very robotic, but not so much as to ruin the book. What did you like best about this story? The stories about the show I didn't know. Did Gary D. MacFadden do a good job differentiating all the characters? How? Not quite as well as Hal did in 2001 A Space Odyssey. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes.

MAS*H Audiobook by David Scott Diffrient

Title: M*A*S*H Subtitle: TV Milestones Author: David Scott Diffrient Narrator: Gary D. MacFadden Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs Language: English Release date: 05-12-13 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film Publisher's Summary: Few American television series are as deeply entrenched in twentieth-century popular culture as M*A*S*H, a Korean War medical comedy characterized by its dark tone and finesse in tackling serious social and political issues. By the end of its run, M*A*S*H had been a mainstream hit for several seasons and won fourteen Emmys, leading it to be called, "the most popular pre-Seinfeld series in television history." In this comprehensive study of M*A*S*H, David Scott Diffrient analyzes the series' contextual issues such as its creation, reception, and circulation as well as textual issues like its formal innovations, narrative strategies, and themes. The book is published by Wayne State University Press. Critic Reviews: "Among the most beloved programs ever produced in the history of American television, M*A*S*H has been the subject of countless books, articles, and reviews. This critical survey by David Scott Diffrient offers a well-researched and historically grounded assessment of a show whose influence on the larger popular culture is beyond dispute. The author's delight with "As both detractors and extollers of the small screen admit, separating American culture from television culture is not easily done. In offering us a kind of "thick description" (as ethnographer Clifford Geertz might deem it) of M*A*S*H, David Scott Diffrient's monograph has much to say about both. With wonderful clarity and deep knowledge of both film and TV, he tells us just about everything scholars, students, and fans might want to about this quintessential black comedy while at the same time providing unexpected insights into its historical context." (David Lavery, founding editor of Critical Studies in Television) Members Reviews: Reasonable overview, but sometimes a punch line is just a punch line Gives a reasonably in-depth look at the series, but often tries too hard to read deep meaning into details that on viewing were obviously never intended to be deep and meaningful. Also makes a fair number of mistakes in details, and in conclusions based on those details, which could easily have been checked with a DVD player. Docked one star for "heteronormativizing" and frequent descent into jargon. Notwithstanding, recommended for a look at the psychological life and times of the show, taken with as many grains of salt as you should expect. Sometimes a punch line is just a punch line. mash (tv milestones) A very good work for the serious student of media (particularly tv) development - not for the faint of heart - The author, who teaches at a university in Colorado, gets into the subject with vigor, unfortunately peppering his lecture (for a lecture is what it seems to be) with words that dictionary.com has difficulty defining. He opens with a brief history of MASH the book and the movie, then moves into the tv series and the evolution of its theme and characters. I enjoyed it and will keep it for reference. great...the good padre Just great...reading from the person's pov.....will keep it forever....I add it to my collection..when I die, the books I love go with me. great read and in realy good condition for s/h great read and in realy good condition for s/h , big mash fan ,watch it every day , yes , i know sad but its a great program/film . realy pleased with this purchase

In The Music of James Bond, author Jon Burlingame throws open studio and courtroom doors alike to reveal the full and extraordinary history of the sounds of James Bond, spicing the story with a wealth of fascinating and previously undisclosed tales. Burlingame devotes a chapter to each Bond film, providing the backstory for the music (including a listener-friendly analysis of each score) from the last-minute creation of the now-famous "James Bond Theme" in Dr. No to John Barry's trend-setting early scores for such films as Goldfinger and Thunderball. We learn how synthesizers, disco and modern electronica techniques played a role in subsequent scores, and how composer David Arnold reinvented the Bond sound for the 1990s and beyond. The audiobook brims with behind-the-scenes anecdotes. Burlingame examines the decades-long controversy over authorship of the Bond theme; how Frank Sinatra almost sang the title song for Moonraker; and how top artists like Shirley Bassey, Tom Jones, Paul McCartney, Carly Simon, Duran Duran, Gladys Knight, Tina Turner, and Madonna turned Bond songs into chart-topping hits. The author shares the untold stories of how Eric Clapton played guitar for Licence to Kill but saw his work shelved, and how Amy Winehouse very nearly co-wrote and sang the theme for Quantum of Solace. New interviews with many Bond songwriters and composers, coupled with extensive research as well as fascinating and previously undiscovered details - temperamental artists, unexpected hits, and the convergence of great music and unforgettable imagery - make The Music of James Bond a must listen for 007 buffs and all popular music fans. Members Reviews: This One's For the Fans! Spy music is it's own genre, an eclectic merging of sounds from across other music genres - from swing to jazz to rock to classical and beyond - to create that definitive style that everyone knows. Any why does everyone know it? Because of "The James Bond Theme," one of the most recognizable movie themes of all time. As Bond himself put the spy craze in motion, likewise his theme put an indelible stamp on the music that defines the genre. But the music of James Bond is far more than just that theme, and like the behind-the-scenes stories of the 007 movies, the stories behind the film scores are anything but boring. After all, the soundscape for these films are part of what kept Bond in style an updated with the times, and that means collaborations with big personalities and sometimes some big fighting. Each film and its soundtrack are covered in-depth, and for the completists out there, this also includes the "unofficial" Bond movies, the 1967 spoof Casino Royale and 1983's Never Say Never Again. Each movie has it's own chapter, making it really convenient if you decide to revisit a chapter later. I know I appreciate that as I fully intend to go through this book again with my soundtrack albums on standby. Much like with many books about music, it'd be more convenient to have that music plugged into the audiobook, but I'm sure the licensing doesn't come cheap, and it would likely double the size of this audiobook.

From Michael Jackson's bizarre guest appearance that kickstarted the golden era to the death of Maude Flanders and all the Conan O'Brien throwaway gags, Phil Hartman guest voices, extensive movie references and encore-worthy musical numbers in between, We Put the Spring in Springfield serves as the perfect companion guide to the Simpsons' golden years and delves into the particular elements that made seasons 3-8 so magical. For anyone who was religiously watching FOX Sunday nights throughout the 1990's or just happened to borrow the season 3-8 DVDs from a friend, We Put the Spring in Springfield is a must-listen, promising to make a Simpson out of all of us. Members Reviews: Fun Little Book For Simpson's Fans I wasn't sure what to expect from this book, but with the low price and being a huge Simpsons fan, I took a chance on it. I'm very glad I did! The book is a vehicle for the author to look back nostalgically on The Simpsons, particularly the "early years", share a lot of thoughts about it, and relive some of the greatest moments. He talks about a number of the early seasons as the "golden era", and gives a surprisingly astute and interesting analysis as to why he thinks that. Backing that up by describing many of those early shows, what makes them special, and talks in-depth about the stories, the characters, the creative talent, and the music, that makes the Simpsons so memorable. It's definitely a fun little read, and Simpson's fans will certainly enjoy it.

Don't be fooled by imitations: this is the audiobook for anyone who ever loved - or even watched - Gilligan's Island! Members Reviews: If you're a Gilligan fan, a must listen! I absolutely loved Russell's story. I was expecting something less deep but it way exceeded my expectations! Great account of the behind the scenes goings on. Where does Here on Gilligan's Isle rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? For that particular Genre it is probably an 8 out of 10 What other book might you compare Here on Gilligan's Isle to and why? My Lucky Life by Dick Van Dyke. Russell Johnson (Although not as good as he thinks he is) tells a very realistic story of how they got along and when they didn't. It was a good account of how things were done on television way back. Which character as performed by Russell Johnson was your favorite? Alan Hale. That was a surprise to me but I really got to like the man as Russell Johnson described him. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes. Any additional comments? I like to read books about the old sitcoms. This was one I was glad I read. Sit Right Back and You'll Hear a Tale... As I write this Russell Johnson passed away from natural causes in the past week at age 89....RIP Professor... I was a huge fan of Gilligan's Island after it went into syndication and was shown weekdays in the late afternoon after I arrived home from school. While I have viewed the specials and made-for-TV films made after the series, the Professor's memoirs and commentary really resonated with me. If you are even a mild fan of the show, get this title. If you are/were a rabid fan...this is a must listen. Finally, for all you guys out there like me who were Gilligan fanatics as kids, I only have one question for you: Ginger or Mary Ann? :) :)

Title: Epics, Spectacles, and Blockbusters: A Hollywood History Subtitle: Contemporary Approaches to Film and Television Author: Sheldon Hall, Steve Neale Narrator: Brian E. Smith Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 48 mins Language: English Release date: 08-28-13 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 13 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film Publisher's Summary: The pantheon of big-budget, commercially successful films encompasses a range of genres, including biblical films, war films, romances, comic-book adaptations, animated features, and historical epics. In Epics, Spectacles, and Blockbusters: A Hollywood History authors Sheldon Hall and Steve Neale discuss the characteristics, history, and modes of distribution and exhibition that unite big-budget pictures, from their beginnings in the late nineteenth century to the present. Moving chronologically, the authors examine the roots of today's blockbuster in the "feature," "special," "superspecial," "roadshow," "epic," and "spectacle" of earlier eras, with special attention to the characteristics of each type of picture. In the first section, Hall and Neale consider the beginnings of features, specials, and superspecials in American cinema, as the terms came to define not the length of a film but its marketable stars or larger budget. The second section investigates roadshowing as a means of distributing specials and the changes to the roadshow that resulted from the introduction of synchronized sound in the 1920s. In the third section, the authors examine the phenomenon of epics and spectacles that arose from films like Gone with the Wind, Samson and Deliliah, and Spartacus and continues to evolve today in films like Spider-Man and Pearl Harbor. Hall and Neale consider advances in visual and sound technology and the effects and costs they introduced to the industry. Scholars of film and television studies as well as readers interested in the history of American moviemaking will enjoy Epics, Spectacles, and Blockbusters. Critic Reviews: Sheldon Hall and Steve Neale's new book Epics, Spectacles, and Blockbusters provides a clear, chronological account of industry trends, starting with imported passion plays' in the 1900s, and culminating with the release of Avatar at the end of 2009. The result is an invaluable tool for future scholarship on popular cinema. (Jim Whalley, New Review of Film and Television Studies) From Birth of a Nation to Titanic, from Intolerance to Heaven's Gate, Hollywood's greatest triumphs and disasters have been big-budget spectaculars marketed on their monumental scale. Pioneering a new kind of cinema history, Sheldon Hall and Steve Neale tell the epic story of how these commercial behemoths have been packaged and sold to the public, showing us that the movies' cultural significance is as much a product of how they are distributed and consumed as it is of their production. (Richard Maltby, professor of screen studies at Flinders University and author of Hollywood Cinema) This is the book many of us have been waiting for: a comprehensive and systematic new account of American film history which puts its costliest productions and biggest hits first. Accessibly written and extremely well researched, this study forces us to revise our understanding of Hollywood's past and present. (Peter Krmer, senior lecturer in film studies, University of East Anglia) Members Reviews: Detail, Names, and Statistics I took a course in film history back in college, and while I won't go into detail, suffice it to say it was a joke. This is the book that outlines what I wish they had taught.

Shoot Out Audiobook by Peter Bart, Peter Guber

Title: Shoot Out Subtitle: Surviving Fame and (Mis)Fortune in Hollywood Author: Peter Bart, Peter Guber Narrator: Peter Bart, Peter Guber Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 9 mins Language: English Release date: 11-04-02 Publisher: Phoenix Books Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 66 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film Publisher's Summary: Fundamentally, Shoot Out is about how movies get made. It covers the process from the first pitch to the final cut, and the players from writers, producers, and directors to stars, agents and marketers. And in the hands of two of Hollywood's best-known pundits, Peter Bart and Peter Guber, the story of Hollywood yesterday, today, and tomorrow is told with rare insight, intelligence and candor. Together Guber and Bart run one of the most popular courses at UCLA, which inspired them to write ShootOut. Every year they invite industry personalities to participate in their program, and it is the stories from these luminaries - as well as the authors' personal adventures - that animate their book. For film buffs, aspiring filmmakers, students, and anyone else intrigued by the inner workings of Hollywood, this is the quintessential take on the how, who, what, and why of the film business. Members Reviews: Engaging and insightful (and also well read) I should first say that I'm not a Hollywood professional (or even an intern at the moment). I'm a student. Anyhow, for all that I can tell, this is an excellent book that actually feels enhanced in audio. Both authors do an excellent job in the reading and everything comes out clear in content and mood. The book itself paints a fairly vivid picture of various aspects of the film industry, past and present. Conveyed is the chaotic nature of the Hollywood beast, some generation gaps and changes in the structure of the Hollywood system, and some of the deals behind the scenes that have led to successful films and dismal failures. I definitely recommend this audiobook to anyone curious at all about Hollywood or the commercial film industry. A great listen... The writing is sometimes inconsistently paced, but the stories fromt he inside of Hollywood are entertaining and insightful. Well worth the time to hear. from the mouth of legends Both authors are Hollywood legends. The stories are also legendary. The era involved is also legendary. But, Barts' other books are better. Very interesting I enjoyed this book. As a fan of film it was interesting to get some insights from two of the industries best. The mutliple narration seemed to keep it fresh as well. Worth checking out if you love some good old Hollywood stories. Good Thing They Got Their Money Up Front What would have made Shoot Out better? Pomposity has never appealed to me, nor has freshman English compositions and this book falls somewhere between the awful two. They had a story but they didn't know how to tell it and it fell flatter than a Katherine Heigl movie. Ugh. If they had loosened up and just told the story. Has Shoot Out turned you off from other books in this genre? No because I love books about film and filmmaking. Would you be willing to try another one of Peter Bart and Peter Guber s performances? Absolutely not. Let them stick to being "film executives" or whatever title they employ currently. If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Shoot Out? It needed a complete re-write and they didn't do that or, if they did, who the hell was their editor for this? Any additional comments? I think I've said it all.

A History of Horror Audiobook by Wheeler Winston Dixon

Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/675/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: A History of Horror Author: Wheeler Winston Dixon Narrator: Aaron Henkin Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 39 mins Language: English Release date: 10-22-12 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 26 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film Publisher's Summary: Ever since horror leapt from popular fiction to the silver screen in the late 1890s, viewers have experienced fear and pleasure in exquisite combination. Wheeler Winston Dixon's A History of Horror is the only book to offer a comprehensive survey of this ever-popular film genre. Arranged by decades, with outliers and franchise films overlapping some years, this one-stop sourcebook unearths the historical origins of characters such as Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Wolfman and their various incarnations in film from the silent era to comedic sequels. A History of Horror explores how the horror film fits into the Hollywood studio system and how its enormous success in American and European culture expanded globally over time. Dixon examines key periods in the horror film - in which the basic precepts of the genre were established, then banished into conveniently reliable and malleable forms, and then, after collapsing into parody, rose again and again to create new levels of intensity and menace. A History of Horror brings over 50 timeless horror films into frightfully clear focus, zooms in on today's top horror Web sites, and champions the stars, directors, and subgenres that make the horror film so exciting and popular with contemporary audiences. Named an "Outstanding Academic Title" by Choice. Critic Reviews: "Dixon is recognized as an eminent film scholar and the current title is an impressive addition to his oeuvre. This book certainly has solid scholarship, but it is also a book that once picked up is hard to put down. Essential." (Choice) "This concise overview is an informative and entertaining read. Recommended." (Library Journal) "This is an excellent survey of horror movies...full of fascinating information and is delivered in an accessible manner. Required reading for horror fans." (Booklist) Members Reviews: good not great well researched and entertaining, this book reads as if the author cut a two paragraphs from the Wikipedia article of every major horror movie and only briefly touched on any of them. as an overview not bad and still entertaining but again just brief tidbits of information that most horror fans already know just on the reputation of the movies and their creators Boring I am a "scary movie" fan and I was looking forward to a book that explained many of the thematic underpinnings of horror movies and the evolution of those themes from the very early horror through the modern horror movie. What I got was a list of ever horror movie ever made and a short synopsis of each. It was incredibly boring. At first I thought that perhaps the author wanted to give appropriate background on all the films before getting into the heart of the subject matter. But no, there was no scholarly analysis of the subject matter at all. :) Great information for anyone into the genre! gets a little opinionated at the end, but otherwise he sticks to the facts pretty well. Author is NOT a Horror Fan Author thinks we need more movies like the Twilight series and less movies like John Carpenter's The Thing. I don't know of any horror fans who would agree. It's questionable whether or not he's seen the movies he criticizes the most.

Twentieth Century-Fox Audiobook by Peter Lev

Title: Twentieth Century-Fox Subtitle: The Zanuck-Skouras Years, 1935-1965 Author: Peter Lev Narrator: Garrett Martin Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 48 mins Language: English Release date: 01-20-14 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 16 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film Publisher's Summary: When the Fox Film Corporation merged with Twentieth Century Pictures in 1935, the company posed little threat to industry juggernauts such as Paramount and MGM. In the years that followed however, guided by executives Darryl F. Zanuck and Spyros Skouras, it soon emerged as one of the most important studios. Though working from separate offices in New York and Los Angeles and often of two different minds, the two men navigated Twentieth Century-Fox through the trials of the World War II boom, the birth of television, the Hollywood Blacklist, and more to an era of exceptional success, which included what was then the highest grossing movie of all time, The Sound of Music. Twentieth Century-Fox is a comprehensive examination of the studio's transformation during the Zanuck-Skouras era. Instead of limiting his scope to the Hollywood production studio, Lev also delves into the corporate strategies, distribution models, government relations, and technological innovations that were the responsibilities of the New York headquarters. Moving chronologically, he examines the corporate history before analyzing individual films produced by Twentieth Century-Fox during that period. Drawn largely from original archival research, Twentieth Century-Fox offers not only enlightening analyses and new insights into the films and the history of the company, but also affords the listener a unique perspective from which to view the evolution of the entire film industry. Critic Reviews: This is a terrific book-wide-ranging, informative, and accessible-that brings together a group of subjects and strengths that are rarely joined in film studies... Film scholars will find that Lev consistently engages earlier work on the studio without duplicating it; nonspecialists approaching the subject for the first time will find Lev an accessible and reliable guide. (Thomas Leitch, Professor of English, University of Delaware; author of Film Adaptation and Its Discontents: From Gone With the Wind to The Passion of the Christ) Members Reviews: Story interesting. Narrator can't read. Is there anything you would change about this book? I was looking forward to this book, but the narrator couldn't pronounce ordinary names or words. He mispronounced very famous movie stars that anyone with even the most basic knowledge of the subject would know. It was very distracting and made it difficult to follow at times. What did you like best about this story? The historical information on the movie industry. How could the performance have been better? Different reader. Could you see Twentieth Century-Fox being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be? Yes. I have no idea who should star. Narrator Mispronounces Dozens of Names/Words What did you love best about Twentieth Century-Fox? I'm loving the book itself, but the narrator is mispronouncing words and names all over the place. It's quite embarrassing, really. You'd think a professional would check up on how to pronounce things. Not here, apparently. I wouldn't let that keep you from buying the audio book, but just be prepared for Martin's mispronunciations. Disjointed How did the narrator detract from the book? The narration at times sound 'non-human'. And clearly knows nothing of film or politics.

Raiders! Audiobook by Chris Strompolos, Alan Eisenstock, Eric Zala

Subtitle: The Story of the Greatest Fan Film Ever Made Author: Chris Strompolos, Alan Eisenstock, Eric Zala Narrator: Josh Goodman Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 07-22-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film Publisher's Summary: In 1982, in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, Chris Strompolos, eleven, asked Eric Zala, twelve, a question: "Would you like to help me do a remake Raiders of the Lost Ark? I'm playing Indiana Jones." And they did it. Every shot, every line of dialogue, every stunt. They borrowed and collected costumes, convinced neighborhood kids to wear grass skirts and play natives, cast a fifteen-year-old as Indy's love interest, rounded up seven thousand snakes (sort of), built the Ark, the Idol, the huge boulder, found a desert in Mississippi, and melted the bad guys' faces off. It took seven years. Along the way, Chris had his first kiss (on camera), they nearly burned down the house and incinerated Eric, lived through parents getting divorced and remarried, and watched their friendship disintegrate. Alan Eisenstock's Raiders! is the incredible true story of Eric Zala and Chris Strompolos, how they realized their impossible dream of remaking Raiders of the Lost Ark, and how their friendship survived all challenges, from the building of a six-foot round fiberglass boulder to the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. Members Reviews: A true sense of wonder! This is the story of two childhood best friends- opposites yet the same, whose youthful sense of wonder and enthusiasm fuels them as they traverse the ups and downs of growing up in small town Ocean Springs, Mississippi. Their struggles and growth are paralleled and reflected by the impossible task of recreating a movie that symbolizes their tender aspirations and dreams. As they mature, leaving high school for college, college for jobs, the same passions destroy their friendship as young adults. Their differences seemingly outgrow their commonalities, splitting their paths as each finds his own way into adulthood, until finally... Fate brings them full circle, reunited under the most unlikely chain of events. You can't make this stuff up. This book is really about friendship, and how no matter what multitude of people you meet as an adult, and how close you become with those people later in life, no one can know you quite the same as your best friend when you were ten. The book does a wonderful job chronicling Eric and Chris' journey to this poignant discovery- the true Ark of this tale. Though their film amazingly made it to Steven Spielberg, found a greater audience than they ever imagined- reaching a generation of fellow Indiana Jones fans, and spawned this book, I don't see Raiders: The Adaptation as just an homage to Spielberg's seminal film. Viewed through the lens of adulthood, it's truly a love letter to childhood, a unique time capsule wherein those simpler joyful times can actually be relived- though best enjoyed with a packed house. A great read for fans of the movie and fans of movies As you read Alan Eisenstock's account of the making of the Raiders adaptation fan movie, you will be tempted to assume license has been taken with the facts. How could two kids and a cohort of their friends pull off this crazy stunt to make this movie? Further, amidst the drama of their lives, why did these two friends continue for 7 years? Yet, all of the material comes from multiple interviews, archival footage and outtakes from the fan film itself.

Scarface: The Ultimate Guide Audiobook by Damian Stevenson

Title: Scarface: The Ultimate Guide Author: Damian Stevenson Narrator: Mike Dennis Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 52 mins Language: English Release date: 03-31-14 Publisher: Enhanced Ebooks Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film Publisher's Summary: Fully annotated movie guide. Includes detailed essays; interviews with filmmakers Oliver Stone, Brian De Palma and Al Pacino, shot by shot breakdown and more. Scarface is a powerful, stylized commentary on violence, materialism, excess, corruption and crime in America. Set during the drug-driven decadence of Miami in the 1980s, it is a rags to riches story about the rise and fall of an illegal immigrant from dishwasher to narcotics kingpin who is undone by greed and delusions of grandeur triggered by cocaine psychosis. It is both thrilling entertainment and a wicked, nightmarish parody of the American dream. Scarface: The Ultimate Guide places the movie in its historical context and examines its origins, development, production, release, critical reception and current status in the culture. The highlight of the book is a detailed analysis of the movie from first frame to fade out. Everything there is to possibly know about the history of the 1983 gangster classic is here. Sit back, grab a glass of gin, spark up a Cuban cigar, check the magazine in your M16 assault rifle with 40mm grenade launcher, find a mirror or clear a surface on your desk and let Scarface: The Ultimate Guide take you on an illuminating tour of your favorite movie. Members Reviews: I couldn't beleive! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? It is hard to fathom an actor like Al Pacino having to do 7 or 8 takes before he was psyched enough to play out a scene. But apparently it is what it took. It was also shocking to learn the film's opening received very negative reviews. The comments made would have suggested the movie would never make it. Have you listened to any of Mike Denniss other performances before? How does this one compare? Yes. I like his voice, his emphasis and clarity. He made it compelling and very interesting to learn all the details behind this movie. Any additional comments? For sure I will look for more audiobooks narrated by Mike Dennis. I really appreciated the work Damian Stevenson did in uncovering every last detail connected to this movie. This is a book for anyone who has seen the movie.

Pratt Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 9 mins Language: English Release date: 02-21-13 Publisher: Stephens Press Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 12 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film Publisher's Summary: One of the most famous and enigmatic Americans of the 20th century, Howard Hughes challenged Hollywood's conventions and packed theaters with his blockbuster films Hell's Angels, Scarface and The Outlaw. He thrilled the world with his aviation exploits, shattering air speed records, flying around the world in record time and building the world's largest aircraft. Hughes was linked with almost every major film beauty of the 1930s and '40s, making him a favorite subject of the nation's gossip columns. One of the world's first billionaires, Hughes transformed his father's small fortune into a vast business empire. But for all his celebrated achievements, Hughes' later years in Las Vegas - when drug addiction, bizarre behavior and a casino buying spree dominated his days - continue to draw the public's fascination. Geoff Schumacher, a veteran journalist and the author of Sun, Sin & Suburbia: An Essential History of Modern Las Vegas, delves into the Las Vegas years of Howard Hughes in this engrossing portrait of a man whose impact on the city is still being felt today.

The Moment of 'Psycho' Audiobook by David Thomson

Title: The Moment of 'Psycho' Subtitle: How Alfred Hitchcock Taught America to Love Murder Author: David Thomson Narrator: Jeff Woodman Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 46 mins Language: English Release date: 12-01-09 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 43 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film Publisher's Summary: It was made like a television movie, and completed in less than three months. It killed off its star in 40 minutes. There was no happy ending. And it offered the most violent scene to that date in American film, punctuated by shrieking strings that seared the national consciousness. Nothing like Psycho had existed before, and the movie industry, even America itself, would never be the same. In The Moment of Psycho, film critic David Thomson situates Psycho in Alfred Hitchcock's career, recreating the mood and time when the seminal film erupted onto film screens worldwide. Thomson shows that Psycho was not just a sensation in film - it altered the very nature of our desires. Sex, violence, and horror took on new life. Psycho, all of a sudden, represented all America wanted from a film and, as Thomson brilliantly demonstrates, still does. Critic Reviews: "Psycho's impact on the movies is undeniable, a key moment in Hitchcock's oeuvre that has had as lasting an impact as anything the great auteur ever directed. David Thomson's rereading of Psycho a half-century after its release shows us just how far we've come. And in some ways, how far we've fallen." (The Weekly Standard) "[Thomson] makes a powerful and sometimes surprising case for the movies importance in film and cultural history. Building on the work of François Truffaut (who first helped establish Hitchcocks reputation as an auteur) and the writings of the critic Robin Wood, Mr. Thomson does a deft job in this volume of reappraising Hitchcocks work, even as he deconstructs Psycho and its complex cinematic legacy." (Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times) "[Thomson's] vast storehouse [of film knowledge] is on full display here, in honor of the 50th anniversary of the release of 'Psycho.' (It opened in June 1960.) He skillfully locates the movie in Hitchcocks oeuvre, linking its theme of the dangers of loneliness to 'Rear Window' and 'The Birds' and its voyeurism to 'Strangers on a Train' and others. And, in a chapter called 'Other Bodies in the Swamp,' he traces the influence of Psycho on more recent movies.... [I]n the best parts of the microanalysis stretch of the book, he is deliciously eloquent." (Neil Genzlinger, The New York Times) Members Reviews: Engaging and insightful Interesting analysis of Psycho, that not only goes into great detail about the specifics of the film, but also the impact it had of filmmaking more broadly. The narration is strong and engaging. Listened to the full 3.5 hours in one sitting and was never bored (though it does meander near the end... sort of like Psycho.) Read "Alfred Hitchcock & The Making of Psycho" Where does The Moment of 'Psycho' rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? I have read Stephen Rebello's "Alfred Hitchcock & The Making of Psycho" and it is a superior work to "The Moment of Psycho". Both are a good read if you are a big Psycho/Hitchcock fan, but from narration to actual story told, Rebello's is the one to read.

They all had two things in common: their creator, Joss Whedon...and their surprising psychological depth. Revisit the worlds of Joss Whedon...with trained psychologists at your side. What are the psychological effects of constantly fighting for your life? Why is neuroscience the Whedonverse's most terrifying villain?

Complete author list includes Joy Davidson, Leah Wilson, Misty K Hook, Robert Kurzban, Thomas Flamson, Carole Poole, and Bradley J Daniels. Members Reviews: I usually love these sorts of studies of pop culture through scientific ... I usually love these sorts of studies of pop culture through scientific lenses. There's always a fine balance between a book that's too academic and one that's engrossed in its own fandom. Unfortunately, I think this book falls on the latter end of the scale. I like what the authors of this book were trying to do, but the final result is a bit superficial. Part of the problem is length. The essays are too short for the authors to go into any depth. In fact, some of the essays felt more like blog articles than substantive pieces of scholarship. Another problem is that this book came out before Dollhouse. I know that's not the book's fault, but because that show was so concerned with neuroscience and psychology I can't help but think that this book has already become obsolete. Fun for Fans It was fun, I wish it had inclueded Dollhouse, which wasn't out at the time it was written. Not quite as in-depth as The Psychology of Dexter, but great fun to read nonetheless. if youre a Buffy fan then this is a must have. this was the first book I got relating to buffy. I just love it. the price is right and its so filled with different facts and joss whedon, so if you are a fan of eiter buffy or whedon then you gotta get this Secret Santa Present I did not personally read this, however from the secret Santa recipient, they loved it. Joss Whedon was what they were all about. Decent Joss shtick This book goes into the psychology of Joss Whedon's TV shows (buffy, firefly/serenity, not much dollhouse), but tends to cover the same ground several times; this falls at the feet of the editor. Perhaps there isn't more out there. We read about strong female characters and how the various sidekicks complete the main character. I'd say this is an OK book, but not outstanding.

The CIA in Hollywood Audiobook by Tricia Jenkins

Title: The CIA in Hollywood Subtitle: How the Agency Shapes Film and Television Author: Tricia Jenkins Narrator: Caroline Miller Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 08-22-12 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 12 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film Publisher's Summary: What's your impression of the CIA? A bumbling agency that can't protect its own spies? A rogue organization prone to covert operations and assassinations? Or a dedicated public service that advances the interests of the United States? Astute TV and movie viewers may have noticed that the CIA's image in popular media has spanned this entire range, with a decided shift to more positive portrayals in recent years. But what very few people know is that the Central Intelligence Agency has been actively engaged in shaping the content of film and television, especially since it established an entertainment industry liaison program in the mid-1990s. The CIA in Hollywood offers the first full-scale investigation of the relationship between the Agency and the film and television industries. Tricia Jenkins draws on numerous interviews with the CIA's public affairs staff, operations officers, and historians, as well as with Hollywood technical consultants, producers, and screenwriters who have worked with the Agency, to uncover the nature of the CIA's role in Hollywood. In particular, she delves into the Agency's and its officers' involvement in the production of The Agency, In the Company of Spies, Alias, The Recruit, The Sum of All Fears, Enemy of the State, Syriana, The Good Shepherd, and more. Her research reveals the significant influence that the CIA now wields in Hollywood and raises important and troubling questions about the ethics and legality of a government agency using popular media to manipulate its public image. The book is published by University of Texas Press. Members Reviews: narration was very good.
more about cia public relations than it is about Machiavellian media manipulations. books provides the cia rationale for helping /and sometimes exploiting Hollywood. CIA in Hollywood Other than a little list of programs, didn't reveal much more than I would imagine by the tile. Boring. Sorry for the review Very well done except for the last hour. Would you consider the audio edition of The CIA in Hollywood to be better than the print version? First off, I would like to say this was a good book and I enjoyed it. I would say it was easier to have the historical info read to you than to plow through it on paper. I enjoyed the book till the last hour, which is where I came to realize this was actually a college paper that became a book. This became apparent when the author suddenly began to recap what had been said in the classic "Say what you said" format colleges teach. Whole passages were suddenly recapped almost word for word. What other book might you compare The CIA in Hollywood to and why? Powerhouse - The Story of CAA. A very indepth historical narrative. What about Caroline Millers performance did you like? Quick delivery that did not drone on like some readers. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? No, it was a lot of data. It was a great education and well presented.

Created and Produced by Total TeleVision Productions Audiobook by Mark Arnold

Title: Created and Produced by Total TeleVision Productions Author: Mark Arnold Narrator: Jason Sullivan Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 46 mins Language: English Release date: 06-06-16 Publisher: BearManor Media Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film Publisher's Summary: Here at last is the real story of how TTV was formed! Inside you will find rare production artwork and storyboards, as well as reminiscences from TTV's founders. "Mark Arnold is the guy who the other authorities on comic books and animated cartoons turn to when they're stumped for an obscure tidbit of pop cultural information; he always delivers the goods." - Scott Shaw, cartoonist Members Reviews: Enjoyable and informative tribute to the cartoons Jay Ward didn't create (but you always thought he did) A few years ago Keith Scott published his excellent and authoritative book on all things Jay Ward,The Moose That Roared: The Story of Jay Ward, Bill Scott, a Flying Squirrel, and a Talking Moose, all about the history of Jay Ward's animation studio and the cartoons he produced for sponsor General Mills for television in the 60s, particularly Rocky and Bullwinkle and Dudley Do-Right, etc. Over the years various syndication packages of Jay Ward's creations have been mixed and mingled with another batch of cartoons that he did not create, though many have believed that he did. These include the ever popular Underdog and Tennessee Tuxedo cartoons, as well as the The King and Odie, Go Go Gophers, Commander McBragg and others. These cartoons were actually produced for General Mills at about the same time by another studio, Total Television Productions (or TTV). Style and (limited)animation-wise the early cartoons of Jay Ward and TTV are visually similar, having utilized the same Mexican animation studio (Val-Mar/Gamma Productions, a cost-saving venture of General Mills, their advertising agency and others). In Scott's book the TTV cartoons are briefly mentioned and panned mildly as being "pleasant diversions", but not up to Jay Ward's caliber and "screamingly unfunny". Yet many remember them fondly. This new book by Mark Arnold serves as a complement to the Scott book to tell the real history and facts about Total Television Productions and their cartoons. It offers the inside story on the origins of the studio, the people and talent involved involved, and the characters they created. Any person who finds the topic of animation (or at least, the history and business of animation) interesting, or loves Underdog or Tennessee Tuxedo (my personal favorite), should find this book enjoyable. It is well written in a casual readable style, featuring extensive excerpts from interviews with the four principle founders/owners of TTV, as well as bios and interviews with voice actors and animators who worked on the cartoons. The content of the book itself (not counting the episode guide) clocks in at about 250 pages, compared to over 300 in the Scott book. However this book reads much faster, devoting more pages to photos of production art, historic TTV merchandise, storyboards and even entire episode scripts with notes scrawled in the margins. While I enjoyed the Scott book a lot, some have found it exhaustive and verbose, ie, wordy. This book has enough substance but will not suffer the same criticism. The opening chapter gives the basic back story of TTV, featuring extensive interview excerpts from the two original idea men and eventually all four founders.

Title: The Absence of Malick Subtitle: Why Did Movie Director Terrence Malick Disappear After His First Two Brilliant Movies? Author: David Handelman Narrator: Luke Daniels Format: Unabridged Length: 46 mins Language: English Release date: 02-28-17 Publisher: Audible Studios Genres: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film Publisher's Summary: Out of touch with people for years, Terrance Malick still inspires a dome of silence that is Mafia-loyal, as if investigating his whereabouts might shatter some fragile, cherished objet d'art. Adams, Sheen, Medavoy and Brackman are among the only Malick associates who will consent to discuss him. More common is the reaction of producer Bert Schneider: "Malick's a great man and a great director. I'm sorry he isn't making films. That's all I have to say." After a brief yet exalted career that resulted in the acclaimed films Badlands and Days of Heaven, director Terrence Malick shunned the public eye and, seemingly, his talents. In The Absence of Malick, David Handelman renders the scope and mystery of Malick's disappearance and, against all odds, finds him on the other end of a phone call. The Absence of Malick was originally published in California Magazine, November, 1985.

With Whedon's superhero names, goddess names, flower names, saint's names, and dozens of British names, he's filling his world with references from Shakespeare to manga, delighting fans who look closer. Which names repeat the most? Which characters have secret links? Examining Whedon's naming through his five shows, plus his movie scripts and dozens of comics, reveals fascinating patterns for his dedicated followers. Members Reviews: Fascinating, if a bit overconstrained If you could sum up Joss Whedon's Names in three words, what would they be? surprising, mind-blowing, fun What was one of the most memorable moments of Joss Whedon's Names? The names and meaning in the "Frey" comics Which scene was your favorite? Names in "Agents of Shield" If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? How Whedon chooses names: Like hedgehogs making love, very carefully! Any additional comments? This is the book Unsong's Aaron Smith-Teller would write if he was a Joss Whedon fan. "This name is not a coincidence because nothing is a coincidence". Valerie digs into the meaning and the layers behind names, brings historical, mythological and etymological reference -- as well as comparing and contrasting to other names in Joss's work. They can't all be true, because the choice of name would be overconstrained. But it makes you think: which one of those were the real reasons? How did Joss actually decide on the name? And which of those aspects is merely a coincidence? Enjoyable but Less Substance than I Expected Is there anything you would change about this book? Yes, I'd have far more input about Joss Whedon's actual opinions and reasons and less on the book-meanings of names Would you be willing to try another book from Valerie Estelle Frankel? Why or why not? Yes, next time I'd know what to expect What do you think the narrator could have done better? Narrator was fine Do you think Joss Whedon's Names needs a follow-up book? Why or why not? Not unless it goes into more depth. Any additional comments? I can see the author has done a good job with the material she had. She's not to blame for not knowing what went on in Whedon's head. If he'd written the book I think it would have suited me better. I just misguidedly hoped for a bit more insight.

The 21 essays muse on traumatized heroes, dinosaur martyrdom, the ethical implications of having a theme park full of extinct creatures brought back to life, cynicism as form and function in filmmaking, a shaving cream can as a foundation to worldbuilding, and more. Molding a Jurassic Universe is also a primer for the onscreen world of Jurassic Park on the eve of the rebirth of this franchise. Members Reviews: Seeing the movies in a whole new way I loved this book. I have always been a Jurassic Park fan, but this book really made me think about the themes of the books/movies which I hadn't really done previously. this book is great if you haven't seen the movies in a while because Steven does a great job of refreshing your memory on the events of the series while at the same time examining the fandom and the universe created by the books and the movies. Narrator was good too. 5 stars

Title: Dominion Subtitle: Prequel to the Exorcist Author: Morgan Creek Productions Narrator: full cast Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 56 mins Language: English Release date: 12-23-15 Publisher: Morgan Creek Ratings: 1 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film Publisher's Summary: In Holland during World War II, Father Lankester Merrin is forced by a Nazi officer to choose 10 of his flock to be executed, and the resulting psychological trauma shakes his faith in God. After the war, Merrin, on a temporary sabbatical from the priesthood, becomes an archaeologist in British East Africa, where an anachronistic 5th-century Byzantine church is discovered. As the archaeological crew digs deeper, it becomes clear that the church was not intended as a house of worship but as a crypt to contain an unspeakable evil. But when a demonic spirit is unleashed, the tortured priest must overcome doubt and find renewed faith to perform his first exorcism. Members Reviews: Misleading description I was excited when I came across this. Audio drama is in a renaissance of sorts right now, and I thought it was great that Morgan Creek had done an audio drama adaptation of both this and of Exorcist: The Beginning. Unfortunately, I was ultimately disappointed. This is not an audio drama adaptation of the movie. It is actually just the soundtrack of the film minus the visual. There isnt even any added vocal narration. Putting the soundtrack of a movie up on Audible and by omission leading people to think that it is something other than just the soundtrack of the film seems a very questionable way to make an extra few bucks. I will be returning this for a refund.

Members Reviews: The audio from the film. Where does Ace Ventura rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Its good if you are a fan of the film. Its purely just the audio lifted from the film. No good if you haven't seen it. Any additional comments? A very good idea. I enjoy listening to the audio from films and getting them through audible is great. It would've been nice if they had added a little narration to it, just the odd line here and there, especially the parts of the film that are entirely visual based comedy. Brilliant if you are a fan of the film and know whats going on. Probably not so good if you've never seen it.

Ghosts of Gone with the Wind Audiobook by Gene Arceri

Title: Ghosts of Gone with the Wind Author: Gene Arceri Narrator: Michael Brooks Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 6 mins Language: English Release date: 08-26-14 Publisher: BearManor Media Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film Publisher's Summary: Many of the details in this audiobook you may have read elsewhere. On the other hand, many more are untold stories. If it were not for Francis Stacey, Eric Stacey's widow, this book would not have been made. For it was Fran who wanted, encouraged, and supported the story about a special man in a magical time. Eric Stacey from Ramsgate (Kent) England, an assistant director, who was often relegated to the sidelines as a traffic cop, and his ultimate work seen in Gone with the Wind. As its producer, David O. Selznick wrote (December 5, 1942) in part, "...[Stacey's] activities were those connected with Gone with the Wind, a picture making extraordinary demands on [his] position." In retrospect, there seems to be a certain element of fantasy, paranoia, artifice, and illusion in these recollections. Except for the apparitions that haunted the cast and crew of the film to the end of their lives. Native New Yorker Gene Arceri began his career with various theatre enterprises at the Lincoln Center and elsewhere. He now resides in San Francisco, where he is a multi-media personality. Arceri's books on Elizabeth Taylor, Susan Hayward, Betty Hutton, and "Charlie of Nob Hill" have been well-received worldwide, as has his column for the past 10 years for Jo Lee Magazine on the internet. Members Reviews: Fun listen for GWTW fans I was looking for anything GWTW-related to listen to, and even though this one is short, it was worth the credit. I loved hearing the anecdotes and brief biographies of the major cast and crew.

This "Franken-warrior" would make modern warfare much more manageable. The problem is that live clones or "reproductions" of the original serial killers have to be kept in prison on the military facility while their DNA is being harnessed for this "higher purpose"! All havoc is wrought when an accidental laboratory fire allows two of those remorseless killers to escape on a killing spree. You know who those killers are!

Yet he still received a great deal of support from big Hollywood studios and mass audiences. From his humble beginnings as a chess enthusiast and photographer for Look Magazine who did not excel in academics to a legendary filmmaker who eventually had creative and financial autonomy over the majority. A master whose influence is felt today more so than ever before. ©2014 Justin Murphy (P)2017 Justin Murphy Members Reviews: A great approach to Kubrick's work. A great companion piece to other works on Kubrick. Takes the approach of a fan instead of the regular newspaper critic approach. One piece of interesting history is that his final project, "Artificial Intelligence", was finished by Stephen Spielberg and released... in 2001. I read everything Kubrick I can get my hands on and this is a good addition to the collection.

Monty Python's Flying Circus Audiobook by Marcia Landy

Title: Monty Python's Flying Circus Subtitle: TV Milestones Author: Marcia Landy Narrator: Robert J. Eckrich Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 03-30-13 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film Publisher's Summary: One of the most innovative comedic programs to air on television, Monty Pythons Flying Circus was a mix of the carnivalesque and the critical. The show has become famous for eschewing many of the conventions of situation comedy, the fully formed and coherent script, narrative closure, predictable characters, and the decorum associated with presentation. Its curious transatlantic popularity defied the assumption that comedy is regional and exclusive, and the shows cult status still lives on in the United States and United Kingdom through reruns, videos, DVDs, and continual reappearances by the shows now iconic stars. Most written accounts of Monty Pythons Flying Circus focus solely on members of the Pythons, histories of the sketches, or the development of other Monty Python projects, leaving a dearth of scholarly and contextual analysis on the television show itself. Marcia Landys book is one of the rare studies available examining the Flying Circus within the context of its time, analyzing the shows influence on 1960s and 1970s British television as well as British cultural influence on the shows legendary material. Landy explores not only why the series complex form of comedy was important but also why it was so well received, citing the Pythons amalgam of comedic material: the unruly treatment of sexuality, the mockery of religion and class, and the critique of the medium of television. The Flying Circus parodied both the lowbrow and the highbrow, throwing many previously untouchable topics into the ring, and here Landy deconstructs the impact of the shows risks and reception. As informative as it is engaging and entertaining, this book will appeal to film and media scholars, popular culture enthusiasts, and Monty Python fans alike. Critic Reviews: "And now for something completely different: a highly readable, thoroughly researched, critically sophisticated look at one of television's most influential comic troupes. Landy situates their innovative sketches in historical and theoretical contexts [while] at the same time bringing a smile to one's face in fond remembrance of the Pythons' inspired comic madness. The book is a must read for those interested in comic theory, British culture, and television studies." (David Desser, University of Illinois) In this highly readable new study of a genuine television milestone, Marcia Landy again demonstrates her credentials as an astute and original critic of popular culture. Landy pulls off the most difficult of critical tasks: to make sense of the absurd. Analyzing the Python phenomenon from the perspectives of cultural history and critical theory, Landy sees the program both as an artifact of the sixties cultural revolution and as part of a lineage of British surrealist humor. It is in the sure-footed and perceptive analysis of such classic sketches as The Dead Parrot' and The Wacky Queen' that Landy comes into her own, demonstrating how Monty Python tested and transgressed the boundaries of respectability and taste. Informed, illuminating and above all accessible, this is a highly valuable contribution to the television studies library as well as a must read for all Python fans.

American Drama in the Age of Film Audiobook by Zander Brietzke

Title: American Drama in the Age of Film Author: Zander Brietzke Narrator: Brian E. Smith Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 06-20-12 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film Publisher's Summary: Is theater really dead? Does the theater, as its champions insist, really provide a more intimate experience than film? If so, how have changes in cinematic techniques and technologies altered the relationship between stage and film? What are the inherent limitations of representing three-dimensional spaces in a two-dimensional one, and vice versa? American Drama in the Age of Film examines the strengths and weaknesses of both the dramatic and cinematic arts to confront the standard arguments in the film-versus-theater debate. Using widely known adaptations of ten major plays, Brietzke seeks to highlight the inherent powers of each medium and draw conclusions not just about how they differ, but how they ought to differ as well. He contrasts both stage and film productions of, among other works, David Mamet's Glengarry Glen Ross, Sam Shepard's True West, Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, Margaret Edson's Wit, Tony Kushner's Angels in America, Tennessee Williams' Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman, and August Wilson's The Piano Lesson. In reading the dual productions of these works, Brietzke finds that cinema has indeed stolen much of theater's former thunder, by making drama more intimate, and visceral than most live events. But theater is still vital and matters greatly, Brietzke argues, though for reasons that run counter to many of the virtues traditionally attributed to it as an art form, such as intimacy and spontaneity. Brietzke seeks to revitalize perceptions of theater by challenging those common pieties and offering a new critical paradigm, one that champions spectacle and simultaneity as the most, not least, important elements of drama. Critic Reviews: "Brietzke's discussion of the theory is fresh and provocative. A great deal of the book's contribution is its original, thoroughly knowledgeable readings of plays and adaptations." (Brenda Murphy, author of The Provincetown Players and the Culture of Modernity) "In this elegant and long-overdue book, Zander Brietzke delivers a passionate defense of the theater, a reminder that even, and especially in an age of media, theater remains the most live and lively art." (Martin Puchner, author of Stage Fright: Modernism Anti-Theatricality, and Drama)

Druxman Narrator: Chris Hendrie Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 10-05-17 Publisher: Michael B. Druxman Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film Publisher's Summary: A one-person play about the life and times of Spencer Tracy. "No pussyfooting around, no beating around George Bush, Tracy is great." - Las Virgines News Enterprise "Michael B. Druxman's piece is by no means the nasty expose that has come to be the fashion in so many recent Hollywood biographies. He shows Tracy reacting with human frailties...but it's mostly an admiring look at the man." - Los Angeles Daily News He's been called "the best film actor Hollywood has ever known". His marvelous performances in classic movies like Captains Courageous, Adam's Rib, Bad Day at Black Rock, and Inherit the Wind endowed him with a tough, solid humorous image - one that was totally at odds with his own personality. The play opens in 1967 when Tracy was in poor health and struggling to complete what would be his final film, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner. Alone in his rented guest cottage, he reflects with great guilt on his days as a rough street kid in Milwaukee; his troubled marriage; his drinking problem; the birth of his deaf son; and his romances with Loretta Young and Katharine Hepburn. Tracy is a vivid, often witty, portrait. Members Reviews: Learning About Spencer The story and Chris Hendries performance create an insightful portrait of one of Americas greatest stage and screen actors. And thanks to Druxmans personal knowledge of Tracys up and down personal life plus Hendries skillful confessional thru Tracys own wry observations we get to know this complicated man. A-plus stuff.

Collins Narrator: James D Callaway Format: Unabridged Length: 43 mins Language: English Release date: 08-01-17 Publisher: Locust and Honey Productions Ratings: 2 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film Publisher's Summary: When the fog rolls in, it is hard to resist its impact upon civilization. In John Carpenter's The Fog, the fog of nature is so irresistible that it might just crush those who think that they can control or predict it. It's a classic tale of man and enlightenment "reason" attempting to overcome or subvert the deleterious forces of nature. In part, that is why the cinematic tale is so compelling. Humans need to find a way to overcome the raw power and implied alienation of Nature (from humankind), while appearing civilized in the process. The Fog deftly handles these universal themes, as it unfolds a tale about a local D.J. who warns a nearby ship about the impending fog, which may cause the crew to lose their bearings! In this trivia quiz, you'll test yourself and your memory about this great cinematic work from horror film creator/legend, John Carpenter. Sample question: The old book uncovered by the priest is a journal written by whom?

Title: 150 Timeless Movies Author: Susan Granger Narrator: David Gilmore Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 09-01-17 Publisher: Hannacroix Creek Books, inc. Genres: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film Publisher's Summary: This is a choice collection of 150 movie reviews of classic and contemporary timeless movies by international syndicated film critic Susan Granger. It includes films from the earliest days to today, from the Russian film Battleship Potemkin (1925) and Gone With the Wind (1939) to Bridge of Spies (2015) and Zootopia (2016). 150 Timeless Movies includes reviews reprinted from Granger's popular website, www.susangranger.com, as well as more than two dozen new reviews of English and foreign film classics. There is an original introduction by Granger, who grew up in Hollywood; her father was director/producer S. Sylvan Simon, and, after his untimely death at 41 while filming From Here to Eternity; her mother remarried and Susan's step-father was MGM executive Armand Deutsch. Members Reviews: There are quite a few movies you recommend that I'm not familiar with Purchased the book yesterday. Fabulous source of info and recommendations for anyone who enjoys movies. (And that's most of us) I sent an email to Ms. Granger this morning. An excerpt is below: "Spent some time reading the book last night. There are quite a few movies you recommend that I'm not familiar with, so it's great to have those recommendations. You listed "The Day The Earth Stood Still". That's my all-time favorite movie. Saw it as a teenager, and had to wait for many years to see it again." Again, if you're a movie fan, this book is a must. I knew this book would be amazing and I was right I knew this book would be amazing and I was right! Susan Granger has created a timeless manual for movie lovers old and new. There are movies in this book that after reading Susan's review I will revisit, and there are many more that I am looking forward to experiencing for the first time. Susan has a way with words that gets the reader excited about the movie experience. I found myself smiling or laughing at times remembering movies that I have seen or learning tidbits about actors and actresses that I have admired on the big screen. Her knowledge and experience is refreshing a true Hollywood Insider. This weekend has been an exciting one reading all 150 Timeless Movies. I enjoyed every moment. Movie reviews that cater to every genre and interest! In 150 TIMELESS MOVIES, Susan Granger's writing is engaging no matter what film she is discussing. Her honesty and enthusiasm for film is infectious, even in genres that I do not usually enjoyâI still just wanted to hear more! Undertaking the herculean task of reviewing countless numbers of movies and compiling reviews that encompass a snapshot of almost a century, Granger has hit the mark that many reviewers miss. No matter what era or genre you enjoy when it comes to movies, you'll surely find a new favorite among 150 TIMELESS MOVIES. Even my husband, a self-proclaimed movie buff, was caught by surprise when he surveyed the film index. The likes of EX-MACHINA, LABRYINTH OF LIES, and LES MISERABLES came as new additions to his must-view list. Some of my personal favorite movies appeared on Grangerâs list as well, such as: BIG FISH, GALAXY QUEST, and LORD OF THE RINGS: RETURN OF THE KING. Even more surprising for me, not being the movie buff of the household, was discovering films that I might not have thought to view before.

In France, the joy of acting is alive and well. Scores of French actresses are doing the best work of their lives in movies tailored to their star images and unique personalities. Yet virtually no one this side of the Atlantic even knows about them. Viewers who feel shortchanged by Hollywood will be thrilled to discover The Beauty of the Real. This book showcases a range of contemporary French actresses to an audience that will know how to appreciate them - an American public hungry for the exact qualities that these women represent. To spend time with them, to admire their flashing intelligence and fearless willingness to depict life as it is lived, gives us what we're looking for in movies but so rarely find: insights into womanhood, meditations on the dark and light aspect's of life's journey, revelations and explorations that move viewers to reflect on their own lives. The stories they bring to the screen leave us feeling renewed and excited about movies again. Based on one-on-one interviews and the viewing of numerous films, Mick LaSalle has put together a fascinating profile of recent generations of French film stars and an overview of their best work. These women's insights and words illuminate his book, which will answer once and for all the two questions Americans most often have about women and the movies: Where did all the great actresses go? And how can I see their movies? Members Reviews: Great but Bias I really enjoyed this book. Its beautifully written and I enjoyed the way this book not only stuck with cinematic examples but dove into French culture including literature and other art forms. My only issue is the clear bias that shows up within the book. I picked this book to read about French cinema, not to read about what other cinema styles and choices should be according to this author. I'm sure over time there will be (and this is slowly happening now) a combining of styles from all countries. We each as individuals will still have our preferences and theres no need to bash what is not approved according to our decision. Overall, I really appreciated the way this was written and will probably listen to it again in the future.

Title: Lame Brains and Lunatics Author: Steve Massa Narrator: Donny Baarns Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 16 mins Language: English Release date: 02-24-14 Publisher: BearManor Media Genres: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film Publisher's Summary: Silent Film Comedy was a fortuitous combination of art and technology, where the physical comedy skills and artistry passed down from the Commediadell'Arte, English music hall, and American vaudeville were captured for posterity by the newly created motion picture camera. While the Chaplins, Keatons, and Laurel & Hardys are still remembered and celebrated, this book profiles unsung practitioners such as Billie Ritchie, Marcel Perez, LigeConley, and George Rowe, with special focus on the neglected comediennesAlice Howell, Gale Henry, Fay Tincher, and Josie Sadler. Popular icons onthe order of Mack Sennett, Marie Dressler, Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, and W.C.Fields are re-examined, plus detailed histories of silent comedy teams andkid's comedies are offered. The book also includes selected filmographiesand is lavishly illustrated with more than 225 rarely-seen photographs andadvertising images. Members Reviews: I want a third of my money back! The subtitle to Steve Massa's "Lame Brains and Lunatics" promises a book about "The Good, The Bad, and The Forgotten of Silent Comedy." Well, Steve covers the good and forgotten all right, but he gives very short shrift to the "Bad." Not that I'm really complaining. Steve's book is a real labor of love, covering much of the rest of silent comics and comedies beyond the familiar studies of Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd, Harry Langdon and Laurel & Hardy. The research is comprehensive, the prose elegant, and the insight is informed (based on a mis-spent life actually watching many of the "forgotten" films he talks about). All of these factors make for a book that is both informative and fun to read--and, as in the work of earlier enthusiast/historians like William K. Everson, Sam Gill and Walter Kerr, Steve Massa is able to evoke the same enthusiasm he feels and does his bit (and them some)toward creating new fans and enthusiasts. "Lame Brains and Lunatics" is a treasure, and the $26.85 you shell out for it is a very small price to pay for a wide and deep education about the world of silent comedy. Beyond Chaplin, Keaton, and Lloyd Admittedly, Steve Massa's new book is not for the neophyte looking for a primer on silent screen comedy. But for fans of the era - and there are thousands of them growing by leaps and bounds thanks to DVDs and streaming video - this book is the next step up. After you've experienced Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd (let's not overlook Harry Langdon), a logical question is, "So that's it?" LAME BRAINS AND LUNATICS provides the answer: "No, you've just scratched the surface!" Other reviewers here highlight some of the forgotten clowns that Massa reintroduces to the citizens of the 21st century. Suffice it to say that this book is not only an absorbing read, it provides an encyclopedic resource for future reference. Many of the talents and their films are not currently in circulation but that situation is changing almost daily. The first thing is that you need to know what to look for and this book gives you names, titles, studios, dates, etc. In short, everything you need to know to start searching the Internet. You say you're not a film scholar or researcher? That's fine. All you have to be is someone who loves silent screen comedy.

Film Noir Audiobook by iMinds

Title: Film Noir Subtitle: The Arts Author: iMinds Narrator: Luca James Lee Format: Unabridged Length: 8 mins Language: English Release date: 09-16-09 Publisher: iMinds Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film Publisher's Summary: Learn about Film Noir with iMinds insightful audio knowledge series.If youre watching a movie where a world-weary detective is having trouble with a dame or a broad, and cigarette smoke is wafting through the scene youre probably appreciating a bit of Film Noir. Film Noir literally means black film referring to both the look and the attitude of these movies. Classic Film Noir movies were produced between 1940 and 1958. This film making style emerged in the United States as the Second World War raged and the Great Depression was only recent history. During the Depression Hollywood busily made films that kept audiences happy. For most of the War many Hollywood movies also served as propaganda. Then the soldiers came home and had to adjust back to civilian life. Film Noir was a popular cultural reaction to the desperation of the Depression and the annihilation of the War, coupled with a growing fear of nuclear holocaust during the 1950s. Film Noir was disillusionment creeping onto the silver screen.

Perfect your dinner party conversation, impress your boss - an excellent way to discover topics of interest for the future. Editorial Reviews: iMinds explores the history of film noir, whose popularity reached its peak in the 1940s and 1950s. Literally meaning "black film", film noir is noted for its dark aesthetic, themes, and situations. Luca James Lee gives a well-defined performance, clearly demonstrating how the circumstances surrounding American culture gave birth to the predominance of film noir; principally, the genre took its cues from detective fiction of the 1920s and reacted to the Depression and postwar attitudes to showcase a more cynical point of view. Listeners also receive great recommendations on some film noir classics like Double Indemnity and Touch of Evil. Critic Reviews: "I'm learning all sorts of stuff about stuff I didn't even know I didn't know. And it sticks. In a nutshell: wonderful." (Jonathon Margolis, Financial Times) Members Reviews: Lacking something - films What would have made Film Noir better? The blurb stated that it had recommendations of films but it barely mentioned any except as general lists. What would've been better is if when talking about lighting a few good film examples were mentioned, when talking about femme fatales it recommended more than just Gilda. I know it's only eight minutes long but it was so basic that the listener had little to take away from it, what films to watch, further reading etc., and there was a bit of repetition that really has no place in such a short piece.

This book explores the world of indie, low-budget and other less mainstream movies. It includes reviews of specific movies, explorations of notable actors and directors as well as essays on recurring themes and genres found in independent films. Members Reviews: Good, but short and full of recording errors Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? Interesting survey of some independent film directors and films. Worth the low price. Reminded me about a lot of films I'd forgotten about. Enjoyed it as a survey although not super in-depth. And, the recording is full of errors. Every few minutes there is a hard cut in the middle of a word as though this was spliced together out of tape by an amateur, and it seems like there are words or sentences cut out. I don't know how this got past QC. What about Jessie Goodwins performance did you like? The performance is perfectly listenable, although marred by the jarring recording/edit errors.

Shakespeare Observed Audiobook by Samuel Crowl

Title: Shakespeare Observed Subtitle: Studies in Performance on Stage and Screen Author: Samuel Crowl Narrator: Brian E. Smith Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 20 mins Language: English Release date: 05-30-13 Publisher: University Press Audiobooks Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film Publisher's Summary: In this lively study of both modern film and stage productions of Shakespeare, Samuel Crowl provides fascinating insights into the ways in which these productions have been influenced by one another as well as by contemporary developments in critical approaches to Shakespeare's plays. Crowl's study demonstrates the surprising resonances between Roman Polanski's 1971 film of Macbeth and Adrian Noble's heralded recent production of the play for The Royal Shakespeare Company; argues that Orson Welles's films of Othello and Cabins at Midnight are not only brilliant reimagining of Shakespeare in another art form but make a powerful contribution to our contemporary understanding of performance as interpretation; and chronicles the impact of Peter Hall's creation of the Royal Shakespeare Company, in 1960, on performance approaches to Shakespeare in the past 30 years. Shakespeare Observed provides full interpretative readings of key recent Shakespeare productions in England and includes an intimate behind-the-scenes glimpse into the rehearsal process that produced Ron Daniels's emotionally charged version of Romeo and Juliet for the RSC in 1980.The final chapter uses Kenneth Branagh's highly successful film of Henry V as a summary example of the trends and influences Crowl's study traces, seeing the film as gathering its interpretative energies from both Olivier's famous film version of the play and Adrian Noble's stage production featuring Branagh as the king. Written in a style that places a premium on capturing the vivid and often dazzling moments of stage and film performances of Shakespeare, Crowl's study will be of interest to the avid film and theatergoer as well as to the scholar and student. Shakespeare Observed joins a growing list of recent critical works that have significantly expanded and redefined the boundaries of Shakespeare studies in our time. Critic Reviews: "Shakespeare Observed belongs in the library of anyone interested in the progression of the Shakespearean text from page to stage to screen." (Kenneth S. Rothwell, University of Vermont) "The whole piece is suffused with perception and clarity." (Peter Hall, The Peter Hall Company)

Subtitle: And Put the Tarnish on Tinseltown Author: Peter Bart Narrator: Edward Lewis Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 52 mins Language: English Release date: 07-10-09 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 10 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film Publisher's Summary: In this passionate love-hate letter to the film industry, Peter Bart pulls together his best columns from Variety and GQ, outlining in detail the history and inner workings of Hollywood. In story after story, Bart shows how the major studios have diverted their energies away from production of the shrewdly crafted pictures that once made the industry powerful. There isn't much range or innovation in the movies today, only a handful of salable subjects: natural disasters, aliens, dinosaurs, ghosts, monsters, or any combination thereof. All are subjects easily parlayed into theme-park environments, action figures, video games, and clothing lines. Even the once edgy independent producers like Miramax and New Line have been acquired by conglomerates. Who and what will resurrect Hollywood? Peter Bart has the answers. ©1999 Peter Bart; (P)2000 Blackstone Audio, Inc. Critic Reviews: "Tongue lashings the likes of which have never been heard before will make listeners laugh with glee.... Great fun and highly recommended." (Library Journal) "Fans of show business will feast on the material. And they will have this feast delivered with aplomb by Edward Lewis." (AudioFile) Members Reviews: an explanation of why Hollywood has become boring A really good history of Hollywood during the go-go years. Great fun if you were there and illuminating for anyone in the industry at the time or who misses really interesting movies. A Hollywood wise man once said... In this rare tome you'll find a jack of all movie trades relic whose insider prose defines the last half of the 20th century as the end all zenith in US entertainment and pop culture. For Bart is a walking encyclopedia of talented good old days Hollywood before ageist Ivy League bean counters took over. While his most sage persona is not served well here by a cold robotic narrator and the last two hours are a study in politics and sex scandal, he gets a pass since Peter is still the Herodotus of classic Hollywood, the romantic messenger of the way we were in this town for those of us who live in the past with no apologies and no regrets.

Blade Runner [Blade Runner] Audiolibro di Piero Di Domenico

Ascolta questo libro audio completo gratuitamente su https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/675/]]> Titolo: Blade Runner [Blade Runner] Sottotitolo: Audiofilm. La guida in audio al capolavoro di Ridley Scott [Audiofilm. The Audio Guide to the Masterpiece by Ridley Scott] Autore: Piero Di Domenico Narratore: Piero Di Domenico Formato: Unabridged Durata: 28 mins Lingua: Italiano Data di pubblicazione: 11-10-15 Editore: Area51 Publishing Categoria: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film Riepilogo Editore: "Io ho viste cose che voi umani non potreste immaginare: navi da combattimento in fiamme al largo dei bastioni di Orione, e ho visto i raggi B balenare nel buio vicino alle porte di Tannhäuser. E tutti quei momenti andranno perduti nel tempo, come lacrime nella pioggia. È tempo di morire". Anche se con più di una variazione sul tema, l'incipit del monologo pronunciato dal replicante Ray Batty nel film Blade Runner di Ridley Scott, attribuibile allo sceneggiatore David Webb Peoples e non presente nel racconto originale di Philip K. Dick, costituisce una delle citazioni più fortunate negli ultimi trent'anni, anche da parte di chi non ha idee troppo precise sull'origine della stessa. Al contrario di predecessori di successo del genere fantascientifico, come la saga di Star Wars e 2001: Odissea nello spazio, Blade Runner non puntava su mirabolanti effetti speciali o sulle profondità siderali dello spazio. Il film è incentrato piuttosto sul tema della progressiva somiglianza, in un ipotetico mondo futuro, fra esseri umani e robot umanoidi, che nel 2019, anno di ambientazione della storia, è diventata molto difficile da rilevare. Il confronto sarà senza tregua. "I've seen things you people would not imagine: combat ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion, and I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die." Although more than a variation on the theme, the opening words of the monologue delivered by the Ray Batty replicant in Blade Runner by Ridley Scott, attributed to screenwriter David Peoples and not in the original story by Philip K. Dick, is one of the most well-known quotes of the last 30 years. Unlike its predecessors of science fiction, such as the saga of Star Wars and 2001: A Space Odyssey, Blade Runner did not have amazing special effects. Please note: This audiobook is in Italian.

Title: Sons of Anarchy - The Interactive Quiz Author: Mindshake Narrator: Paul Lange Format: Unabridged Length: 35 mins Language: English Release date: 03-27-15 Publisher: Enhanced Ebooks Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film Publisher's Summary: This is an interactive quiz audiobook about the popular TV show Sons of Anarchy and is in the format of questions with four possible answers, A, B, C or D, with hotlinks for each possible answer that the Kindle reader can click on - thus making it "interactive". You click on the answer you think is the right one... a correct click takes you to the next question, a "wrong" answer/click takes you back to the same question to try again. An audiobook would be different - just the questions, the four possible answers, a pause or 30 seconds say, and then an announcement of the correct answer. If you think it's feasible to adapt this interactive Kindle book into an audio quiz book using the same questions and answers, then I'd like to hear from you. Personally, I think it has a lot of potential and would be easy to execute - well, certainly easier than a lengthy work of prose. Please see the book's Amazon page for more insight. Members Reviews: it was fun only found one discrepancy. number 23 John teller did not have the family flaw. it wax from gemma.

But more is hidden within the episodes for the more serious fans: nonstop hints to the original adventures and the classic films as well. Within this book are all the references, with quotes from the actors and creators, notes from John and Sherlock's blogs, and loads of colorful symbolism. There are visitable locations in London and a look at the constant byplay, far more than simple friendship, between the two heroes. With character bios and notes on all the unseen cases, this book bursts with references for Sherlock's fans, those who know the century of lore, and those who are yet to begin it. Members Reviews: Thank you Valerie Frankel I was sure that some intrepid geek had to have gone through the episodes of the new BBC series looking for canon references, and I was right. As a huge fan of Holmes pastiches, I appreciate this reference work despite the typos. It will be a major help in my own research work. OCD Fan's Delight! I thought I was reasonably knowledgeable about the Doyle canon--but I couldn't come close to the detail in this little book! I can't wait to watch the shows again, and read along to catch every little reference. Fun for all Sherlock fans--and all Obsessive-Compulsives who need to know absolutely everything about Holmes. The author seemed to cover every imaginable reference, crossover ... The author seemed to cover every imaginable reference, crossover, etc. The only problem were some errors in facts in the latter part of the book. I don't know if this was by the author or an editor or what. The most egregious was a citing of Molly as "Sally". Five Stars love this book Three Stars Kinda interesting.

From Flo Ziegfeld and David Merrick, from Joseph Papp, from Cameron Mackintosh, from todays up-and-coming new generation of producers - here are priceless words of wisdom. Editorial Reviews: While other narrators might perform with misplaced enthusiasm, Great Producers narrator Michella Moss utilizes thoughtful restraint to narrate the profiles of some of American theater's biggest legends. Her minimalist approach allows listeners to completely focus on the stories by luminaries such as Florenz Ziegfeld and David Belasco as they share how they got started, how they dealt with their most challenging projects, and how they learned from their mistakes. Listeners will end this audiobook with a greater understanding of the qualities of a good producer and what it takes to be a success. Members Reviews: Producers on Parade By providing a brief biography of numerous Broadway producers, this book teaches the who and how of new shows in the for-profit theatre. The candor of the producers along with their personal experiences makes this book enlightening and entertaining. If you're interested in being a producer, or just want to know how it's done, this is required reading. Informative and entertaining If you love theater, or are interested in producing, this book is a must-read. Each chapter deals with a different producer's life and career, and Dorbian captures not only the essence of each person, but also why they are so good at what they do. It includes lots of sage advice to anyone considering mounting a show, no matter how big or small the production. For the Theater Enthusiast Great read and/or gift for those that love the theater, the rich history of the art and the people that made the magic happen.

Title: There's No Business Like Show Business...Was Author: Alan Young Narrator: Steve Rausch Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 08-02-16 Publisher: BearManor Media Genres: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film Publisher's Summary: You've heard Wilbur speak about Mr. Ed. Now hear what Alan Young has to say about: Members Reviews: A quick review I had read a very interesting interview with Alan Young on the Classic Television Showbiz website. I immediately went to amazon and found this book and another one written by Alan Young, "Mister Ed and Me and More." If you don't care for reading about the Mister ED TV show, then this book is for you. I say this because this book is incorporated into the Mister Ed book. I cannot say it is included word for word, but the stories are in the other book. Don't get me wrong I am not sorry I bought both books. However, now that I know this information I can let other people know. This book covers Mr. Young's career starting in Canada and coming to America performing in New York and California and other cities with his stand up act. The book is an easy read and very enjoyable. It is o. k. Just anecdotes of his ... It is o.k. Just anecdotes of his early days in his career and Hollywood. Of Course, of course I actually thought that all Alan Young had ever done as far as show business was concerened was to be a straight man for a horse. Well, I was wrong. Mr Young wrote a very short, and very good, novel. He does not go into self-praise nor is his tone every smug or preachy. In fact, if you are looking for "gossip" and "dirt on celebrities" this might not be the read for you. But if you want to get a good feel for what the Good-Old-Days were like, this is one of the best books written upon the subject. Alan Young has been around for quite a while and he has a lot of funny stories to tell. You know the names (Jack Benny/ Tallulah/ Jimmy Durante) and he has an interesting tale about each of them, and many more. After the easy read, you will understand why they called it the golden era in entertainment. Radio-TV star reminiscing his Hollywood past. Heard Alan Young on Old Time Radio. Never knew that he has a radio series. Interesting stories, and bought this because he was telling stories of his memories of other stars, including Marilyn Monroe. Who would have though Mr. Ed's owner would have such an interesting history? Good book, but too short Good book, but too short. Enjoying reading about the people that Alan Young had met in the earlier part of his career.

La guida (non ufficiale) in audio alla saga di Robert Zemeckis [Audiofilm. The Audio Guide (Unofficial) to the Saga of Robert Zemeckis] Autore: Piero Di Domenico Narratore: Piero Di Domenico Formato: Unabridged Durata: 27 mins Lingua: Italiano Data di pubblicazione: 11-10-15 Editore: Area51 Publishing Categoria: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film Riepilogo Editore: Una trentina d'anni fa negli Stati Uniti si scopriva che spingendo una DeLorean a 88 miglia orarie, senza dimenticare di azionare il flusso canalizzatore, si poteva coronare un vecchio sogno dell'uomo mai tramontato, quello del viaggio nel tempo. Il 3 luglio 1985 era infatti arrivato nelle sale americane il primo capitolo della saga Back to the Future, una delle trilogie cinematografiche più amate degli ultimi anni. A sottolineare il peso che ha avuto la saga di Zemeckis nella vita americana basterebbe riprendere il "Discorso sullo stato dell'Unione" del 1986, una delle tappe fondamentali della vita politica statunitense. Quando l'allora presidente degli Stati Uniti, l'ex attore Ronald Reagan, inserì una citazione tratta proprio dal film: "Non c'è mai stata un'epoca più entusiasmante di questa in cui vivere, un tempo di crescenti meraviglie e di progressi eroici. Come dicono in Ritorno al futuro: Strade?! Dove stiamo andando non c'è bisogno di strade!" Some 30 years ago in the United States, a man discovered that pushing a DeLorean up to 88 miles per hour, without forgetting to activate the flux, could crown an old dream of a man that never waned, that of time travel. On July 3, 1985 the first chapter of the saga Back to the Future arrived in theaters, one of the most popular movie trilogies in recent years. To underline the importance the saga had in American life, it was enough to take on the "State of the Union" of 1986, one of the milestones of US political life. The then US president, former actor Ronald Reagan, inserted a quote right from the movie into his speech: "There's never been a time more exciting than this in which to live, a time of increasing wonders and progress heroic. As they say in the Back to the Future: 'Roads? Where we're going , we don't need roads.'" Please note: This audiobook is in Italian.

Title: Disney's Star Wars Reboot Subtitle: Analysis and Predictions for the Sequel Trilogy and Media Spinoffs Author: Justin Murphy Narrator: Christian Carvajal Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 7 mins Language: English Release date: 06-04-14 Publisher: Justin Murphy Ratings: 1 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film Publisher's Summary: Ever since George Lucas made the announcement he sold his production company Lucasfilm Ltd. to The Walt Disney Company, people everywhere have been speculating on what will happen in the upcoming sequel trilogy Episodes VII, VIII, and IX. Along with the trilogy standalone spinoff films focused on characters such as Yoda, Han Solo, and Boba Fett. More points of interest will be the upcoming animated series Star Wars: Rebels for The Disney Channel and Disney XD, along with the planned live action series for ABC. Whether these predictions are right or not, they will be of interest to Star Wars fans. Members Reviews: JJ Abrams Has Already Rebooted Star Trek What would have made Disney's Star Wars Reboot better? If to convey my disappointment, I would flippantly say that the only thing that would've made this book better was if it had never been written. But, I won't be so crass. The author could've considered works in the larger Star Wars Universe as a basis then try to imagine what JJ Abrams would do and not just narrowly considering that everything and anything Stars Wars was in Episodes 1 - 6 and that JJ Abrams is going to be unoriginal and just retell the same story with only slight variations. Has Disney's Star Wars Reboot turned you off from other books in this genre? The prediction genre is not the problem. It's just the author's narrow view of Star Wars and lack of imagination. After reading this utter disappointment, it would be hard to even consider any other Justin Murphy work. Would you be willing to try another one of Christian Carvajals performances? Sure. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? Not a single one. Any additional comments? Save your money If you've read or listened to any of the other Star Wars book series, you'll be annoyed with this book.

It is a primary avenue to discovering what is most authentic - the bizarre truth - about cultures everywhere. In this section, Zimmern catches and cooks Huatulcos native octopuses.

Chaplin's Vintage Year Audiobook by Michael J. Hayde

Title: Chaplin's Vintage Year Subtitle: The History of the Mutual-Chaplin Specials Author: Michael J. Hayde Narrator: Nat Segaloff Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 23 mins Language: English Release date: 08-01-17 Publisher: BearManor Media Genres: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film Publisher's Summary: When Charles Chaplin signed a record-setting contract with the Mutual Film Corporation in February 1916, it was the culmination of events that changed the motion picture business. Mutual's founders redefined how films were bought, sold, and distributed. Chaplin redefined screen comedy with a character that leapt into the hearts of moviegoers around the world. Together they established the value of star power and created 12 magnificent comedies that have endured for generations. From the nickelodeon to the Internet, the Mutual-Chaplin Specials have been viewed by more people than any other films in the entire history of cinema. Chaplin's Vintage Year tells the full story of the Mutual-Chaplin Specials, framed within the rise and fall of the Mutual Film Corporation, the worldwide phenomenon known as "Chaplinitis", the famous $670,000 contract, and the various acquisitions and releases these comedies have enjoyed for nearly 100 years. Members Reviews: NOT JUST ANOTHER CHAPLIN BOOK - THIS IS ESSENTIAL!!! The only reason I bought this book was there was a promotional postcard for it included with the recent Blu-Ray release of these 12 immortal comedies and I knew the author from his excellent Harry Langdon book. I've read a few dozen Chaplin books over the past 40 years so I wasn't expecting much... what more can be said about Chaplin that hasn't already been said? Well, I was wrong. I was SO wrong that I'm compelled to write this review to make up for my short-sightedness. This isn't just the story of the 12 Mutual shorts, it's the story of the fledgling film industry, of Keystone and Chaplin's beginnings, of the way films are sold and distributed at the dawn of cinema... and it is FULL of factual material than a comedy buff like me just SALIVATES over. This book has quickly jumped to the top of the Chaplin heap. I'm just 1/3 in and I already love it to pieces. it's NOT an anylysis book... it's not "here is why these films are funny" Of course they're funny! That's why we still care about them 100 years later!! It's a factual journey through the production and distribution of the 12 most famous silent shorts ever made. This book is ESSENTIAL. Very highly recommended!!! Read It In Two Day! Unwrapped the book and found myself reading it almost instantly. Couldn't put it down. Had it read in the first two days after receiving it. This is not only a fascinating study of Chaplin's most creative film period in which he produced 12 remarkable comedies in the space of 16 months but also an excellent study of how the film producers and the theatres of the day were. I came out with a deeper understanding of just how far reaching the public's love for everything Chaplin was. I consider Mr. Hayde's work to be one of the finest film books that I have ever come upon. I marvel at the depth of his research and applaud him for the way that he has brought it all together. This is a major work for anyone serious about Chaplin and the early workings of the movie business. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Great If you think you have read everything there is to read about Chaplin you are wrong. This book is among the best I have read about the movies.

Pismo Beach Audiobook by Pat Sullivan

Title: Pismo Beach Subtitle: Hollywood Punchline Author: Pat Sullivan Narrator: Jack Nolan Format: Unabridged Length: 19 mins Language: English Release date: 08-22-17 Publisher: Golf in the West Genres: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film Publisher's Summary: Pismo Beach is a classic California beach town with a raucous history earned prior to and during the turn into the 20th century, Prohibition, the Roaring Twenties and World War II. Once known as the "Clam Capital of the World,'' Pismo to this day boasts a reputation as a punchline in show business -- from Bugs Bunny cartoons to television series such as "Dragnet'' to stand-up comic routines. "Pismo Beach? Let's hurry,'' Bob Hope quipped on a 1947 radio show, "some clams are having a people date tonight.'' Members Reviews: Refreshing California Tidbit Growing up in California in the 50's & 60's, if you weren't from the central coast, you had always heard of Pismo Beach even though you had no idea why... or exactly where it was. This delightful little expose explains why. You might have heard it on TV, or by your grandfather or some other 'old' person who probably was not even aware of your presence. But for those who ever took the trouble to drive to LA down highway 101 instead of that mind deadening highway 5, you discovered a gorgeous stretch of coast located between equally beautiful parts of the California Central Coast that remind one of the Zorro episodes of our youth. Basking in all this beauty, you wonder why it is that the name Pismo Beach rings a bell with you. This little vignette explains it. Thanks for clearing up one of those little mysteries that lurk in the back of your mind that you don't usually ever really put into focus. As Much Fun as a Day Digging Clams on the Beach Former Chronicle writer Pat Sullivan gives readers a lightning tour of Pismo Beach, its lore and how it earned its status as a punch line -- and punching bag -- for comedians, film-makers and TV producers. Amusing stuff -- it made me want to go out for clam chowder! A fun trip through Pismo Beach history! A short and fun read...Lots of interesting facts....Well researched. Especially meaningful if you have been there and enjoyed this beautiful city. 9 minutes to read is NOT a 'book' This is a newspaper or magazine article- NOT a book Content is fine-- but to be a book, need more meat! This was a complete waste of the 5 minutes I spent reading it This was a complete waste of the 5 minutes I spent reading it. Read like a Chamber of Commerce pamphlet.

In the summer of 1987, a group of the screen's most notable stars gathered in glamorous Newport, Rhode Island, to make Mr. North, a charming but unpretentious film about a magical man who turns the town upside down. They included Anthony Edwards, Anjelica Huston, Lauren Bacall, Harry Dean Stanton, Virginia Madsen, Tammy Grimes, and a host of other talents, including legendary director John Huston. The filmmaker was Danny Huston, John's son. But just as the cameras turned, John fell ill and was replaced by Robert Mitchum. There were daily reports on Huston's failing health, and the world wondered whether the lion of Hollywood, after surviving so many close calls with death over the years, would finally succumb. Nat Segaloff was the only journalist - the only outsider, in fact - allowed onto the set and behind the scenes of Mr. North, and he reported on it for the Boston Herald - but only some of it. Now, after more than a quarter century, the full story can be told of the daily interactions of these famous egos struggling to finish their movie while overshadowed by the one person who wasn't even in it.

È con gli indimenticabili e riconoscibili titoloni gialli che scorrono verso l'alto sullo schermo e l'inconfondibile musica sinfonica di John Williams che si sarebbe presentato, nel maggio del 1977, il primo capitolo Star Wars che farà esplodere uno dei temi più famosi della storia del cinema.Nalla sua saga, il visionario George Lucas è riuscito a intercettare, come pochi al-tri casi, la profonda necessità dell'industria hollywoodiana di rinnovare il pro-prio immaginario. Lucas ha creato anche un vero e proprio impero del merchandising, dando vita a un universo parallelo a quello cinematografico. Lucas è forse un esempio davvero unico di regista-imprenditore, costantemente attento a ogni minimo aspetto della sua creazione, fino ai giocattoli e ai videogiochi. I suoi film hanno spalancato le porte per un nuovo tipo di fantascienza, inaugurato il concetto di blockbuster e portato il tecnicismo degli addetti agli effetti visivi a nuovi standard.

Movies defined the 20th century, driven by the idea of the auteur, the great creative force giving meaning to the work of hundreds of crew and thousands of industry workers. But as the 21st century began, ticket sales flatlined, ancillary profits from DVD sales were drying up, and even major movie studios began to question whether they wanted to fully fund their own movies. The great auteur director figures of the 60s and 70s were transformed into enigmatic financiers like Gigi Pritzker, Megan Ellison, David Ellison, James Packer, and Mark Cuban. The great artists of the film world were no longer storytellers with preternatural cameras and alchemical editing suites, they were people crazy enough to keep funding movies at a time when even major studios were trying to find a way out of the business. Hollywood Ending is an on-the-ground history of the beginning of the end for movies, from the lush offices of Michael Ovitz's talent management company to the plucky production of cult hit Donnie Darko. Using his own attempts to get a film financed, Michael Thomsen recounts the cultural decay, doomed optimism, and abusive narcissism that helped take one of the greatest cultural institutions of the 20th century to the brink of decline. Members Reviews: Dreadful Absolutely dreadful. A meandering mess. The author seems to be pleasuring himself with pretty clusters of words that mean nothing. What a bore.

That he was the driving force behind the original trilogy's success. That he planned it as a 12-chapter saga from the very start. These things could not be further from the truth. There are others who played roles in its success, such as his ex-wife, Marcia Lucas; producer Gary Kurtz; and Empire Strikes Back screenwriters Leigh Brackett and Lawrence Kasdan. This presents an alternate view of the Star Wars saga and how it began. While not unheard of, the topics discussed here will give fans a different perspective. Members Reviews: Smart but sloppy eBook The cover's awful and the formatting ugly with typos galore but the information is smart and there's some interesting nuggets here. A tidied up rewrite with a more professional approach might push this up to four stars. Some pictures wouldn't hurt.

Molte sono le sequenze di questo film che si sono impresse a fuoco nella cultura successiva e sono state capaci di superare un territorio ben più ampio del grande schermo. Al di là delle grandi questioni che 2001 arriva a toccare come la relatività, il rapporto tra il ciclo della vita e della morte e la teologia materialista, il film di Kubrick, che all'epoca venne da alcuni bollato come pretenzioso o oscuro, si è dimostrato capace, come un prisma, di assorbire e riflettere sullo schermo una vasta serie di questioni fondamentali sull'esistenza umana che allora si cominciavano a confrontare con un progresso tecnologico in fase di violenta accelerazione.

We not only get a glimpse into her life/marriage with Louis Malle (now deceased), their daughter Chloe, and Marshall Rose, her current husband, but also the films and TV shows Candice has been involved in. Following the memoir synopsis we get a brief bio on ten of the main people in Candice's life, including herself. The more detailed 'Character Analysis' section is SUPERB providing us with more details on Candice, Louis, Chloe and Marshall. The 'Character Relationships' section of this Eureka book mainly focuses on Candice with her family members. What themes are discussed? Marriage, motherhood and celebrity life. Eureka describes Candice's writing style as "honest and forthright". However, it is also noted that Candice spends a lot of time/paragraphs on the details of the interior design of her many homes along with lists of celebrities who attend her parties and gatherings bogging "down the pace of the book". This summary by Eureka is GREAT if you are needing a brief overview of Candice Bergen's memoir or if you just need a reminder after reading the original. A short and easy read. Product provided in exchange for an honest review. Thanks, Liz

Title: Disaster Genre Secrets for Screenwriters Author: Anthony Metivier Narrator: Kevin Pierce Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 55 mins Language: English Release date: 02-06-13 Publisher: Anthony Metivier Genres: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film Publisher's Summary: Have you ever dreamed of writing the screenplay for a Disaster movie? If so, then here is how some of the world's top Disaster genre screenwriters do itand how you can succeed in this genre too. Believe it or not, it doesn't matter how much you already know about the Disaster genre. The information in this book will teach you: The ideas in this book have been used by real screenwriters of major blockbusters - whether they realize it or not. Disaster Genre Secrets for Screenwriters distills their mastery for you and is here to serve as your screenwriting guide. Don't worry! None of the ideas and techniques in this book are rocket science. Frankly, if you can watch a Disaster movie, you can write one. But it'll only be as good as the deep human needs you're able to satisfy through theme, imagery, archetype, characterization, and effectively structured plot. Plus, everything you'll learn in this book applies to every other genre, either directly or indirectly. And with a little imagination, you'll find that these ideas connect to real life too (which we all know is exactly what most screenwriting needs). But there's really no time to lose. Every day that you are not using these ideas in your Disaster genre screenwriting, you are stealing from yourself the joy of writing a Disaster movie that will entertain audiences around the world as a result of your newly enhanced screenwriting mind. Members Reviews: This is a MUST read! If you have ambitions of writing a successful screenplay for a disaster movie, here is a book that you simply MUST read first. The author, Anthony Metivier, surveys the disaster genre from both theoretical and practical perspectives. He lays out the major sub-genres and presents the keys to writing a winning screenplay for each of these, while avoiding the traps - such as falling into in cliche. Furthermore, he illustrates many of his points with examples from some of the biggest movies ever made, such as "Titanic", "Terminator" and "Jaws". You will therefore learn the secrets to their success and be able to integrate these crucial elements into your own screenplays. Overall, Metivier is very readable and packs a ton of valuable content into this fairly short guide. After reading this you should have a much better idea as to whether the screenplay you are considering writing is one that is likely to sell and convert into a successful movie. You will also have somewhat of a template for writing it. However, if you have not yet reached these stages, this book will still stimulate a lot of ideas in your mind. "Disaster Genre Secrets for Screenwriters" is therefore a book that I highly recommend. From a Non-fiction Reader...Wow! Though I'm an avid non-fiction reader, I love the movies. And I rarely know why I like and remember one movie over another. After reading Anthony Metivier's "Disaster Genre" book, I'm beginning to understand the underlying mechanics of what makes a movie tick. What I found fascinating about this book is that you don't have to be a screenwriter to learn about a movie's architecture. It has applications for the everyday moviegoer like me.

Founded in 1952, it took WWE over 30 years to become a major success (and without true competition), yet Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff have been the target of critics due to their not making TNA #1 in 2 years' time.

Members Reviews: Good Book Made some valid points. Tho I wish he would have pointed out the stuff they did that had a negative effect on TNA.

Collins Narrator: Chris Brown Format: Unabridged Length: 47 mins Language: English Release date: 07-17-17 Publisher: Locust and Honey Productions Genres: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film Publisher's Summary: Eight people were massacred in a small town in Iowa in the early 20th century and no explanation or solution to the sordid and grisly crimes was forthcoming.

Occurring in the early summer of 1912, the strange murders involved all members of the Moore household and two guests who were passing through the area who stayed at their residence. In Tony Valenzuela's The Axe Murders of Villisca, the legacy of the eight original and unsolved crimes is highlighted and dramatized through a group of young film-makers who attempt to find out if the so-called "axe-murder house" is really as haunted as it is reputed to be.

Do you remember the ending to that memorable and poetic tidbit from recent horror cinema history? It's an iconic line from a cult classic and horror favorite, Dead Silence.

Dead Silence is currently available for streaming on Netflix and, of course, available on DVD for purchase or rental.

E non c'è sa stupirsi se le trame e le riprese sono sempre più curate, e gli attori migliori fanno a gara per partecipare a questi format televisivi. Se una volta recitare in TV era considerato un sintomo di decadenza o di fallimento degli attori, oggi si è convertito nel trampolino di lancio ideale per raggiungere il grande schermo, mentre chi nel grande schermo ci lavora già è desideroso di esplorare le opportunità inedite offerte dalle serie TV di qualità. Infatti, i migliori registi, sceneggiatori e star di Hollywood gareggiano per partecipare in questo tipo di progetto contribuendo ad aumentarne la qualità e la varietà. Anche l'atteggiamento dello spettatore è cambiato molto. Una volta l'intrattenimento offerto dalla televisione era considerato un passatempo leggero, passivo e di secondo ordine, nulla di cui poi dibattere animatamente in pubblico. Oggi invece gli amanti delle serie tv vogliono condividere questa passione con gli altri, si ritrovano per seguire gli episodi in compagnia e si organizzano per fare vere e proprie maratone televisive. Vogliono inoltre essere aggiornati costantemente su ogni cosa che riguardi le loro serie preferite e i protagonisti delle stesse.

Collins Narrator: Trevor Clinger Format: Unabridged Length: 42 mins Language: English Release date: 08-16-16 Publisher: Locust and Honey Productions Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film Publisher's Summary: This is an interactive quiz based on the American TV political/suspense drama entitled The Killing, which is based on a Danish TV series entitled, Forbrydelsen and is produced by AMC. The American TV program lasted for four seasons and is now available for streaming on Netflix for a monthly subscription fee. The Killing stars many talented actors including Mireille Enos (World War Z). In the first season of the smash hit AMC TV program, Seattle Police Detectives Lyndon and Holder try to come to terms with the tragedy that strikes the Larsen family who did not know their daughter, Rosie, quite as well as they thought they did. Lyndon is preoccupied with other personal and family matters during the Rosie Larsen case, but she manages to penetrate the fog of the western sea board, and give this "missing persons" case the attention that it and the Larsen family deserve. Holder is not exactly an ideal role model for young people as he and Lyndon wrestle with their own personal demons, as the political campaign of a popular councilman becomes embroiled in the case as well. What possibly could an upstanding member of city council, who is now running for Mayor, have to do with the disappearance of a charming young girl with a promising future in front of her? Season One delves into this question with numerous other suspects coming to haunt the clarity of the case. Even though it officially began as a Nordic crime series, The Killing has now become engrained within the American psyche of millions of American TV viewers! In the following sections, you will be given a series of multiple-choice and true/false questions regarding the story line, characters, and dialogue of the television series. Members Reviews: REALLY FUN AND COOL BOOK! Where does The Killing rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? It ranks pretty high because I am a huge fan of The Killing. So cool that this book offer both seasons 1 and 2. I found this game to be fun amongst friends I have friend who are obsessed with The Killing, and this audiobook made it fun to find out who has been paying attention the most to the show. Really cool book that exposes some really cool facts about the show that I didn't know about!

"Riso amaro" è un capolavoro del neorealismo italiano del dopoguerra. Racconta una storia d'amore dai risvolti oscuri, apparentemente semplice. Una trama lineare fatta di tradimenti, sensualità e lavoro, che però traduce su pellicola molti temi importanti: come la donna eroina, che lotta al pari di un uomo ed è disposta a tutto pur di ottenere quello che vuole, un esempio di grande spregiudicatezza e sensualità nella figura di Silvana Mangano. Il giovane regista, al suo secondo film, ci mostra un estratto di vita provinciale, le sue mondine sono vere e cinematografiche allo stesso tempo, hanno i piedi per terra (o meglio, in acqua) ma "hanno la testa montata dai rotocalchi, dai film e da altre assurde fantasie". Il capolavoro di De Santis è il film che viene alla luce quando si decide di mescolare, con abilità e competenza, il genere realista italiano e il gangster movie dal retrogusto hollywoodiano; il tutto, ovviamente, condito con la dose di giustificata amarezza tipica degli artisti del dopoguerra.

Il Barone interpretato da un grande Mastroianni è una delle figure più controverse e brillanti tra gli omicidi della storia del cinema e, allo stesso, tempo uno dei più pasticcioni. Si potrebbe dire che riesce nei suoi intenti nonostante se stesso! Una commedia e un film drammatico allo stesso tempo, il capolavoro di un grande regista che ha sempre inserito con maestria nei suoi film la critica sociale, i contenuti politici e una sorta di umorismo nero.

Find out how Caitlin ranks all 38 movies, from the big hits like Risky Business, Top Gun, Jerry Maguire, and Mission: Impossible to the possibly underseen works like Taps and All the Right Moves. Members Reviews: âCruise is prettayyyyy, prettayyyyyy, prettay girly in this movie.â Caitlin Dinoski explains her credentials for this survey examination of the films of Tom Cruise well: âYou may be wondering what possesses a person to watch the entirety of Tom Cruiseâs film catalog. Let me start by saying I am not a film critic by trade. I am, as they say, in the biz, but I work as a picture editor. And as a worker in the film and television industry, I consider it part of my responsibilities to watch a lot of movies and TV. To not do so would make me the equivalent of a vegan butcher. Luckily for me, this is an obligation I greatly enjoyâMy husband, Jamieson, is a self-proclaimed Tom Cruise super fan. I am not. Before this experiment, I had never in my life sought out a movie to watch solely because Tom Cruise was in it.â And with that introduction to the author, we are escorted on a tour of all 38 films that star Tom Cruise, Starting with a 1981 âEndless Loveâ, Caitlin supplies us with her personal response to each of the films and offers enough humor to keep us laughing as well as being entertained. The insight of responses to Cruiseâs acting is enlightening. In TAPS (1981) âCruise is not the lead but rather an essential archetype for this kind of story. Heâs the hyper-aggressive, trigger happy, blaze of glory guy. He plays it with an appropriate level of âCruise-tensity.â In RISKY BUSINESS she states, âAt this point, this movie is a classic. It has the kind of meticulously tailored structure that gets taught in screenwriting coursesâ. It goes without saying that Cruise wins over whoever's watching the second he slides into the living room in his tighty whities.â In ALL THE RIGHT MOVES, âCruise shows the widest range of emotions we've seen yet in this role.â And so on. Each film is rated for totality, story and Cruiseâs role-playing â and it doesnât get much more astute than this. This is a very entertaining book, for Tom Cruise fans and for movie fans in general. Letâs hope Caitlin writes about other actors soon. Grady Harp, April 16 All hail Tom Cruise fans! This is a book dedicated to y'all. I am not a movie buff. If you would take a look at my official blog (that's bethgstories.wordpress.com by the way), I have a category there that says On The Big Screen, but it doesn't have a lot of posts. However, this book, Caitlin's Cruise is something that makes me think twice about being a movie buff. REVIEW What Is It About? Caitlin's Cruise is a compilation of the author's thoughts and reviews about all of the Tom Cruise movies. Caitlin's not a big fan - no. Her husband, on the other hand is such a huge fan that he urged her to see all these movies. She was a bit reluctant but in the end, she agreed to do it, but she said she might as well blog about it. What I Think About It? Caitlin's such a fantastic reviewer, and that's not an overstatement.

"Io sono sempre grande, è il cinema che è diventato piccolo". La leggendaria battuta pronunciata dalla grande diva del cinema muto Norma Desmond, interpretata da Gloria Swanson, in Viale del tramonto di Billy Wilder è una dichiarazione spietata che mette a nudo gli aspetti più inquietanti e perversi del mondo dello star system. Viale del tramonto è un capolavoro cinematografico che ha descritto come pochi altri il grande sogno hollywoodiano e la crudeltà della sua macchina produttiva. La pellicola è una parabola amarissima sulla vacua grandezza delle celebrità del cinema, avvolte e soffocate nelle proprie lussuose prigioni. La storia ruota intorno alla vita di Norma Desmond, una celebre attrice del cinema muto che non riesce ad accettare la fine della sua carriera e l'essere stata esclusa dalle scene dopo l'avvento del sonoro. In questo audiofilm scoprirai i retroscena di questo capolavoro, che è anche l'ultima grande interpretazione di Gloria Swanson, la quale sembra quasi interpretare se stessa nei panni dell'affascinante e ossessionata Norma Desmond. Tutto il film è un rimando tra realtà e finzione in uno scontro tra mondi opposti che porterà a un tragico finale e che svela il lato oscuro del cinema hollywoodiano.

La guida in audio al capolavoro di Orson Welles [Audiomovie. The Audio Guide to the Masterpiece by Orson Welles] Autore: Piero Di Domenico Narratore: Piero Di Domenico Formato: Unabridged Durata: 26 mins Lingua: Italiano Data di pubblicazione: 09-29-15 Editore: Area51 Publishing Categoria: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film Riepilogo Editore: Quarto Potere è il capolavoro del regista americano Orson Welles. Il film è una riflessione sul potere nella società capitalistica americana e, in par-ticolare, sul potere svolto dalla stampa e dell'informazione incarnato nella pelli-cola dal magnate Kane. Il titolo originale infatti è Citizen Kane, che fa esplicito riferimento all'ingombrante figura del protagonista, il magnate dell'editoria poi approdato in politica Charles Foster Kane, interpretato dallo stesso Welles nelle diverse stagioni della sua vita. Ritenuto dall'American Film Institute il miglior film americano di tutti i tempi, la pellicola sarà destinata a stravolgere le conclamate regole del gioco cinemato-grafico, introducendo rilevanti novità stilistiche grazie alla frantumazione del linguaggio convenzionale attraverso il reiterato uso del flashback, al ruolo deci-sivo assunto dalla musica anche sul piano narrativo e alle nuove prospettive as-sunte dall'inquadratura. Voce: Piero Di Domenico Citizen Kane is the masterpiece of American director Orson Welles. The film is a reflection on power in the American capitalist society and, in particular, the power carried by the press and information embodied in the film by tycoon Kane. The title in fact is Citizen Kane, which explicitly refers to the protagonist, the landed magnate Charles Foster Kane, played by Welles. Considered by the American Film Institute as the best American film of all time, the film will turn upside down the overt rules of the cinematic game, introducing significant new styling thanks to the shattering of conventional language through the repeated use of flashbacks, the role assumed by the music, and in terms of narrative and new perspectives.

La guida in audio al capolavoro di John Ford [Audiomovie. The Audio Guide to the Masterpiece by John Ford] Autore: Piero Di Domenico Narratore: Piero Di Domenico Formato: Unabridged Durata: 26 mins Lingua: Italiano Data di pubblicazione: 09-29-15 Editore: Area51 Publishing Categoria: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film Riepilogo Editore: Ombre Rosse rappresenta nella storia del cinema l'esempio più noto del western classico, in cui si ritrovano tutti gli elementi fondamentali del genere: dai grandi spazi (la Monument Valley viene resa leggendaria proprio da questo film) al tema del viaggio, dal clima di minaccia incombente per la presenza degli indiani all'intervento della cavalleria, dall'eroe ingiustamente accusato che supera una prova impossibile alla punizione dei colpevoli. Il film, che segnò il ritorno di Ford al western dopo ben 13 anni e la consacrazione per John Wayne, costituisce un atto di accusa verso l'epoca precedente a Roosevelt, contro l'ipocrisia sociale e l'emarginazione nei confronti dei più deboli, gli esclusi dalla società, che non a caso sono gli autentici protagonisti del film. Per essere un film d'azione, Ombre rosse è straordinariamente attento a una minuziosa definizione psicologica dei nove personaggi principali. Così la diligenza diventa una metafora, tutt'altro che difficile da leggere, della società americana, e i nove personaggi rappresentano un campionario umano ben più vasto del loro esiguo numero. Stagecoach is in film history the best-known example of the classic Western, where you can find all the basic elements of the genre: the great outdoors (the legendary Monument Valley), the theme of the journey, the climate of looming threat of the presence of Indian intervention, the hero unjustly accused. The film, which marked the return of Ford to the Western after 13 years and the consecration of John Wayne, is an indictment of the previous era of Roosevelt, against hypocrisy and social exclusion against the weakest, the socially excluded, which not coincidentally are the real stars of the film.

I misteri che tuttora l'avvolgono, a distanza di novant'anni dalla sua prima proiezione a Berlino, hanno reso Metropolis di Fritz Lang un film perennemente ammantato da un alone di leggenda. A cui va aggiunta l'influenza che il capolavoro tedesco del cinema muto ha esercitato su alcuni film fondamentali della fantascienza contemporanea. Eppure, all'epoca della sua realizzazione furono in molti a storcere il naso, compresi autentici guru della narrazione del futuro, come il britannico H. G. Wells, autore de La guerra dei mondi e La macchina del tempo, che lo bocciò come uno dei peggiori film che avesse mai visto. L'autorevole stroncatura non ha tuttavia impedito a Metropolis di diventare il primo film della storia tutelato dall'Unesco, inserito nel registro Memory of the world creato nel 1992 dall'organizzazione dell'Onu per preservare la memoria documentale dell'umanità.

Title: Sonnets & Sunspots Subtitle: "Dr. Research" Baxter and the Bell Science Films Author: Eric Niderost Narrator: Nat Segaloff Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs Language: English Release date: 05-01-15 Publisher: Joe Bevilacqua, Waterlogg Productions Genres: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film Publisher's Summary: Sonnets & Sunspots tells the story of one of the most beloved popular science series of all time and the charismatic educator who became an icon to several generations of students. The audiobook is also a fascinating history of popular science programming in television and film, from its primitive beginnings to the 21st century. Along the way there are entertaining behind-the-scenes stories of each production and the personalities that were involved with them. Dr. Frank Baxter, a professor of English literature at the University of Southern California, became a science hero to millions thanks to his alter-ego "Dr. Research". Many students even became scientists because of Baxter and the Bell films, some of the most entertaining and informative shows ever made. As the tale unfolds, we meet such people as famed Hollywood director Frank Capra, Walt Disney, legendary voice actor June Foray, Eddie Albert, Richard Carlson, movie mogul Jack Warner, James Burke of Connections fame, Carl Sagan of Cosmos, and a score of others. The book also chronicles the story of public television from its earliest beginnings, including the struggles of such pioneering stations as Houston's KUHT and San Francisco's KQED. Members Reviews: A Pleasant and Unexpected Journey! A thoroughly enjoyable read! I wasnât sure what to expect with this book â at first glance it appeared to be a rather esoteric topic. I had been only peripherally aware of Dr. Baxter and his films, even though I grew up in the 1950s, and was never a big fan of science topics. That said, I found the story of Dr. Baxterâs life so straightforward, human, and well written, that I was effortlessly carried along. Niderost (the author) has a track record as a great popularizer of historical topics (one can find dozens of his articles in Military history magazines over the past 20 years). Here, he gives historical context to Baxterâs pioneering role in broadcast educational media, and simultaneously allows the reader his/her own insights into what makes a great educator. I recommend this book on two levels: First, as an entertaining biography of a master educator, and, secondly, as a readable historical overview of the development of what was called âEducational Televisionâ in the early days of the medium. Dr. Baxter and Science Programming As a member of Dr. Baxter's family, I have been anticipating this book for the last two years since I first came in contact with the author. I appreciate the author's efforts to compile information of Dr. Baxter's work and contributions he made to the field of science programming into this new go-to resource. This book provides good context to the Bell Laboratory Science Series and its place in the timeline of science programming by reviewing earlier and successive programs. As a Millennial, I didn't have the opportunity to view the Bell films in school. This book gave me a greater appreciation for the pioneering efforts of Dr. Baxter and his colleagues that led to the great educational films I did see in school and the fascinating programs available on television today. I imagine the historical background may have greater meaning for other readers who had a greater connection to the era and the films.

On the Waterfront Audiobook by Budd Schulberg

Title: On the Waterfront Author: Budd Schulberg Narrator: Hector Elizondo Format: Original Recording Length: 2 hrs and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 06-01-12 Publisher: BBC Worldwide Limited Genres: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film Publisher's Summary: The classic, universal tale of the corrupting influence of power, the healing force of love, and how the truth must always be told - heedless of the consequences. In the New York docks of the 1950s, at least ten percent of everything is paid to the mob. Longshoremen looking for work either pay kickbacks or face starvation. One-time fight contender Terry Malloy has been led into crime by his older brother Charley, and he's being used in a plot to get young Joey Doyle murdered for not 'dummying up'. Terry finds the courage to blow the whole scam wide open, once and for all, and leads his fellow workers to a confrontation with the crime bosses. As a film, On the Waterfront made a star of Marlon Brando. This powerful radio drama was recorded in Hollywood, in the presence of its Oscar-winning author Budd Schulberg, and first broadcast to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the film's release. It features a bonus interview with the author. Members Reviews: Reads like the On The Waterfront screenplay....almost. The "On The Waterfront" movie was one of my all time favorites which I have watched several times. Naturally I zoomed through the book with excited anticipation. Through the first ninety-percent of the book, except for subtle differences, the book was reading like the movie screenplay. I had no problem with that until I got to the final few chapters. Without giving the ending of the novel away, in some respects I was disappointed because of what I was anticipating, the typical Hollywood "happily ever after" ending. After careful thought I then realized that Hollywood was just being Hollywood, whereas the author, in an attempt to realistically portray that time-period on the New York waterfront was being true to form. Having lived during that time, and in that area, and knowing what I did, concluded that the final chapters of the book was closer to the life of the longshoremen and the corruption that existed. I enjoyed the novel but, not as well as the movie. Dock Workers. Life is harsh working on the docks where people are poor and working as a dock worker is the only job that pays. A mob controls the union and who gets the jobs. On The waterfront is about the people who work there where their lives happen in slums. Most are Irish and priests and the Catholic church is powerful as well. Most priests seem to be part of the corruption in society. In this backdrop three people stand out, a father who tries to stem the corruption, a young man on the verge of being s mobster and a young woman whose family has paid for Catholic boarding school to keep her away but now has chosen to live with them. The novel is more general than the movie and the three characters aren't as much as a primary focus. Still very interesting. An Excellent Tale and an Insightful Look at the Story behind the Film I watched the movie to this book a long time ago and loved it. However, if you love stories and books more than you care for movies, this book is certainly for you. The story of corruption on the Bohegan docks and Father Barry's stand against Johnny Friendly and his cohorts is highly detailed and wonderfully written. If you haven't seen the movie, you will enjoy a tale that that delves these characters lives together in one common goal to stand against evil.

Title: Bobby Cinema TV and Movie Crossover Author: Bobby Cinema Narrator: Hillary Hawkins Format: Unabridged Length: 36 mins Language: English Release date: 03-20-14 Publisher: Srinivas Chavala Genres: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film Publisher's Summary: I am introducing my new movie or TV characters crossing over existing television characters on TV or movies. I am writing a plot summary or a synopsis about potential crossovers that could lead us off to a spin off or a movie franchise from my movie characters that I created to interact with my favorite shows, to the potential characters that I created a few years. I have been rejected by Hollywood for a long time because they don't take unsolicited material from writers. Unsolicited means no new guys; it's kind of tough to find an agent or a producer to cut you some slack since they don't take unsolicited material. I wrote my first book on twenty movie and TV show ideas and spin offs that you can't pitch to a television network or a movie studio. Because they don't take unsolicited material and neither does an agency. I watch a lot of TV, I read fan fiction on the internet where TV shows crossover to other shows or movies. They all stink, but at least they can hear them out or see what happens. As for me, I found another way to get people to read about what happens if an existing TV series references any of the characters that I created. So, I'm showing the world what would happen if any of my characters in movies that I create would meet an existing TV character on a crossover. I would love to see people to get their opinion when they listen to this audiobook and ask if they want my movie characters that I create to come to life or want to see if it happens. If they don't, I understand. But I want to get people's opinion if they want to see my movie characters come to life. Instead of TV or movie executives and agents who reject me and tell me we don't take unsolicited material.

Film Review: Unique and Beautiful Statement of History as Portrayed by Art Audiobook by Peter Menkin

Title: Film Review: Unique and Beautiful Statement of History as Portrayed by Art Subtitle: 'The Mill & The Cross', Directed by Poland's Lech Majewski Author: Peter Menkin Narrator: Ralph Morocco Format: Unabridged Length: 35 mins Language: English Release date: 01-14-14 Publisher: Peter Menkin Genres: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film Publisher's Summary: How can I laud this film I liked so much, and enjoyed? Let me try a number of ways. For this is a movie that asks for many things of its audience. This film is a work of art. Called the wisest philosopher among painters, "Pieter Bruegels epic masterpiece "The Way To Calvary" depicts the story of Christs Passion set in Flanders under brutal Spanish occupation in the year 1564, the very year Bruegel created his painting. From among the more than 500 figures that fill Bruegels remarkable canvas, The Mill & The Cross focuses on a dozen characters whose life stories unfold and intertwine in a panoramic landscape populated by villagers and red-caped horsemen. Among them are Bruegel himself (played by Rutger Hauer), his friend and art collector Nicholas Jonghelinck (Michael York), and the Virgin Mary (Charlotte Rampling). So says the distributor about the film they distribute, Kino Loberer of New York City. Before going further with some remarks on the film as a work itself and its credits, note that the part played by Rutger Hauer is done with dignity and offers a stoic painterly attitude of heroic disengagement with the large scene he paints. A handsome man, the character played by Rutger Hauer, Bruegel himself does as the other actors do: plays the role with a balance of speaking and silence, with emphasis on the silence. Quiet in dialogue, that is silent moments, is a notable feature of the playing style in The Mill & The Cross. Here is a well chosen means of conveying meaning as audience members become attuned to the rhythm of acting style performed by not only this excellent player, but all the competent and experienced main players in their parts. There is a shadow and light to the acting sensibility, not in literal use of cinema and play of film, but a kind of sensibility of both knowing and not knowing. But it is Rutger Hauers character who appears as a man who has eyes to see and a distance in objectivity in mind to patiently portray what his eye sees, if one grasps the painting as shown in the style of the cinema itself.

Box-office smash hit Borat was a memorable portrait of an outsider and made an unlikely Kazakhstani journalist an international superstar. These three films all look and sound like examples of the documentary genre. Although they all investigate very different people, places and events they all share one key characteristic that differentiates them from most documentaries. None of them are real.

Performer Ellouise Rothwell explains the origin and conventions of the style, and presents popular examples from Spinal Tap to The Office. (She also highlights some earlier examples, such as the BBC's wonderful 1957 report on the "Swiss Spaghetti Harvest".) Her tone is cool and smooth, although sometimes at odds with the rock music playing in the background. A nice choice for students of the media, or anyone interested in a little background on this increasingly popular form.

Ya habían venido y seguirían viniendo, contratados en su mayoría por Felipe II, otros pintores, como Cincinato, Cambiaso, Zuccaro, II Tibaldi, etcétera, pero eran todos artistas de segunda fila, como ocurriría luego en el siglo XVII. El Greco es, en cambio, un personaje de talla incomparable e imprevisible. Se ha dicho muchas veces que a pesar de su ascendencia cretense, el Greco tiene más de veneciano y de español, porque fue en estos países donde realizó su tarea pictórica, su formación como pintor. ©2013 Hiares Multimedia 2013, S.L.

Title: Robert Rauschenberg Subtitle: Art/Life Author: James Cahill Narrator: Ellery Truesdell Format: Unabridged Length: 44 mins Language: English Release date: 12-21-16 Publisher: Cv Publications Genres: Arts & Entertainment, Visual Arts Publisher's Summary: This essay reviews Jammers by the celebrated American artist Robert Rauschenberg (1925-2008), in an exhibition held at Gagosian Gallery, Britannia Street London, from 16th February to 28th March 2013. The inspiration for the series came from a month in 1975 when the artist worked in an Ashram (textile factory) in Ahmedabad, India. He developed the loose fabric structures in New York, bringing reference to sails of crafts (Windjammers) and the sense of free natural movement. Born in Port Arthur, Texas in 1925 Rauschenberg attended Academie Julien and Black Mountain College, where he studied under Josef Albers. He was associated with Jasper Johns and John Cage in the early 1950s, when he made the famous combines, assemblages of found objects, and created the white and the black paintings - presaging movements of Pop, Minimalist and Conceptual art of the following decades. The monograph includes an essay by James Cahill in which he surveys some of the recorded interviews Rauschenberg gave, and considers the wider function of artists' statements. An interview by Nicholas James with David White, long-time colleague and friend, now Chief Curator of the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, recalls the artist and his work. Members Reviews: Where is Rauschenberg This is little more than a catalogue. To describe literally the art works without illustrations, is ludicrous. There is nothing about how Rauschenberg works,his ideas,inspiration or anything There is nothing to learn from this "book"
