Much more than a coffee table book,

This review is from: Cinema: Year by Year, 1894-2003 (Hardcover)
If you enjoy watching or just knowing about cinema, this book is for you. For those of us that are old enough to remember, we are whisked back to what we were doing at the time and remember the impact of the first of a series or the first of a new technique. For the rest of us it gives us the backgrounds that we did hot have the privilege of seeing first hand.
Being divided into years makes it easy to retrieve information and to view what was going on at the same time. The book its self looks like a collection of newspaper articles and posters of the time of each movie. You can not get this information from some cheap cinema magazine. For those people who are too impatient or that browsing drives them up the wall there is a comprehensive Contents and Index; includes are special features such as "The Oscar Story" and " Special Effects: Tricks of the Trade." They seem to have left out a few of my favorites yet; I am just having fun reading the blurbs. The have everything from "Laura" to "Total Recall" |
