Paperback
Author:
Ruth Zaporah
Published by:
North Atlantic Books,U.S.
Each chapter of this book presents a single day of the twenty-day training which Ruth Zaporah developed into "Action Theater", her investigation into the life-reflecting process of improvisation. This book shows through exercises, stories, anecdotes, and metaphors how to focus attention on the body's awareness of the present moment, moving away from preconceived ideas. Improvisations move through fear, boredom, laziness, and distraction to a sustained awareness of creative options.

Animated Movie Guide

A$ 49.95 each
Paperback
Author:
Jerry Beck
Published by:
Chicago Review Press
Going beyond the box-office hits of Disney and Dreamworks, this guide to every animated movie ever released in the United States covers more than 300 films over the course of nearly 80 years of film history. Well-known films such as "Finding Nemo" and "Shrek" are profiled and hundreds of other films, many of them rarely discussed, are analysed, compared, and catalogued. The origin of the genre and what it takes to make a great animated feature are discussed, and the influence of Japanese animation, computer graphics, and stop-motion puppet techniques are brought into perspective. Every film analysis includes reviews, four-star ratings, background information, plot synopses, accurate running times, consumer tips, and MPAA ratings. Brief guides to made-for-TV movies, direct-to-video releases, foreign films that were never theatrically released in the U.S., and live-action films with significant animation round out the volume.

Paperback
Author:
Jonathan Vankin
Published by:
Chicago Review Press
Exposing the real stories behind 100 hit reality-based movies, this captivating resource offers interesting facts about some of the most well-respected and much-loved films. For both film buffs and casual moviegoers, this invaluable guide explores Hollywood's ardent and often uncomfortable relationship with the factual accounts it converts into fantasy. Illuminating films such as A Beautiful Mind; Adaptation; Apollo 13; Black Hawk Down; Catch Me If You Can; Erin Brockovich; The French Connection; The Perfect Storm; and Titanic; this work reveals how Hollywood alters history for movie fans, leaving filmgoers often unable to tell the difference between fact and fiction. A riveting examination, this volume focuses on alterations to the "true story" such as concocted love affairs, annoyingly obvious character motivations, trumped-up endings, bigger explosions, more car crashes, and spontaneous songs, all created for the sake of ...

Bounty

A$ 24.95 each
Paperback
Author:
Koenraad Kuiper
Published by:
Canterbury University Press
Bounty is a cornucopia and a ship. Ships envelop you and land you in new worlds. The opening sequence of sonnets pays hommage to Frank Hurley, the photographer on Shackleton's Endurance, which was crushed in the pack-ice in Antarctica in 1915. The central sequence of the collection recounts the voyage of the Bounty alongside that of the Odyssey, through sonnets addressed to blind fiddler, Michael Byrne, who enjoyed 'allurements of dissipation beyond anything that can be conceived' in Tahiti, was shipped back in chains to England and court-martialled, was found not guilty, and almost certainly hanged the three of his shipmates who were found guilty.

Brando Rides Alone

Paperback
Author:
Barry Gifford
Published by:
North Atlantic Books,U.S.
This book is a film critique and a polemic on the notion of critique itself. With off-the-cuff panache, Gifford looks at a film with a unique history after passing through several writers hands, including Stanley Kubricks, One-Eyed Jacks became the first (and final) film to be directed by Marlon Brando, who took the starring role as well. In Giffords view, Brando breathes life into the old Western clichs, even as he reinforces them and the critics question his integrity.

Paperback
Published by:
Vince Emery Productions
"The Maltese Falcon" has been widely lauded since its original publication in 1930. In its movie adaptation, it not only birthed American film noir but also ranks as one of the 100 greatest movies of all time, as selected by the American Film Institute. Now, this treasury of memorabilia on Sam Spade and his creator, Dashiell Hammett, uncovers a wealth of documents and photos about the book and movie from institutional and private archives, many of which are previously unpublished and are available nowhere else. Providing far more information than any resource before it, the book delves deeply into the tale of the jeweled avian statue, including a full account of Hammett's detective career, a chronology of his life and publications, sources and notes the author used in constructing the book, and never-before-seen documents from the book's film, stage, and radio adaptations.

Dankbaar, Wim
Published by:
Trine Day
Contrary to the belief that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone assassin in Dealey Plaza at the time that President John F. Kennedy was shot, this account maintains that a gunman located on the grassy knoll delivered the final, fatal shot. Based on interviews with James E. Files, the alleged gunman, the chronicle proposes that the assassination was initiated by the CIA in collaboration with organized crime--Sam Giancana, Charles Nicoletti, and Johnny Roselli, in particular. Subsequent discoveries made through the assistance of a number of retired FBI agents also implicate two anti-Castro terrorists protected by prosecution from the Bush administration--Orlando Bosch and Luis Posada Carriles.

Josh Karp
Published by:
Chicago Review Press
The ultimate biography of National Lampoon and its cofounder Doug Kenney, this book offers the first complete history of the immensely popular magazine and its brilliant and eccentric characters. With wonderful stories of the comedy scene in New York City in the 1970s and National Lampoon's place at the center of it, this chronicle shares how the magazine spawned a popular radio show and two long-running theatrical productions that helped launch the careers of John Belushi, Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, and Gilda Radner and went on to inspire "Saturday Night Live". More than 130 interviews were conducted with people connected to Kenney and the magazine, including Chevy Chase, John Hughes, P. J. O'Rourke, Tony Hendra, Sean Kelly, Chris Miller, and Bruce McCall. These interviews and behind-the-scenes stories about the making of both Animal House and Caddyshack help to capture the nostalgia, humor, and popular culture that National Lampoon ...

Steven Lee Beeber
Published by:
Chicago Review Press
Based in part on the recent interviews with over 125 people - among them Tommy Ramone, Chris Stein (Blondie), Lenny Kaye (Patti Smith Group), Hilly Kristal (CBGBs owner), and John Zorn - this book focuses on punk's beginnings in New York City to show that punk was the most Jewish of rock movements, in both makeup and attitude. As it originated in Manhattan's Lower East Side in the early 1970s, punk rock was the apotheosis of a Jewish cultural tradition that found its ultimate expression in the generation born after the Holocaust.Beginning with Lenny Bruce, 'the patron saint of punk', and following pre-punk progenitors such as Lou Reed, Jonathan Richman, Suicide, and the Dictators, this fascinating mixture of biography, cultural studies, and musical analysis delves into the lives of these and other Jewish punks - including Richard Hell and Joey Ramone - to create a fascinating historical overview of the scene. Reflecting the irony, ...

James Dean, the Mutant King

A$ 42.95 each
Paperback
Author:
David Dalton
Published by:
Acapella Publishing
This is the book that restarted the James Dean cult by celebrating him as the cool, defiant visionary of pop culture who made adolescence seem heroic instead of awkward and who defined the style of rock ’n’ roll’s politics of delinquency. The only book to fully show how deliberately and carefully Dean crafted his own image and performances, and the product of still unequalled research, vivid writing, intimate photographs, and profound meditation, James Dean: The Mutant King has become almost as legendary as its subject.

Author:
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Published by:
A Cappella Books,U.S.
Questioning the assumptions that govern our culture, this book focuses on one medium -- the movies. In particular, it examines how movies are packaged, distributed, and promoted, exposing industry secrets such as how Miramax often buys distribution rights to movies it then fails to distribute, presumably to make sure its competitors don't get them. The book shows, for the first time, how the corporate ownership of movie theaters defies antitrust laws and precedents stretching back over 50 years. While the average American can usually find a book or record that has not been endorsed by the mainstream media, when it comes to movies, consumers are powerless against what Rosenbaum calls "the media-industrial complex".
