"Have You Seen . . . ?"
Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group 2008; US$ 29.95In 1975, David Thomson published his Biographical Dictionary of Film, and few film books have enjoyed better press or such steady sales. Now, thirty-three years later, we have the companion volume, a second book of more than 1,000 pages in one voice?that of our most provocative contemporary film critic and historian. Juxtaposing the fanciful and... more...
'Have You Seen...?'
Penguin Books Ltd 2008; Not AvailableThis is possibly the most entertaining, surprising and enjoyable film book ever written. Thomson set himself the near-foolhardy task of writing one page each on 1000 of the films that he has particularly liked ? or in some cases, abhorred. Some half-million words of funny, vigorous, wayward prose later, we are all the happy beneficiaries of his deranged... more...
"I Say, I Say . . . Son!"
Santa Monica Press 2012; US$ 36.99The first survey dedicated to the work of the McKimson brothers, this book offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at the upper echelon of 20th-century animation and examines the creative process behind the making of numerous popular characters and classic programs. Featuring original artwork from the golden age of animation, this book includes a wealth... more...
'Un-American' Hollywood
Rutgers University Press 2007; US$ 27.95The concept of "un-Americanism," so vital to the HUAC crusade of the 1940s and 1950s, was resoundingly revived in the emotional rhetoric that followed the September 11th terrorist attacks. Today's political and cultural climate makes it more crucial than ever to come to terms with the consequences of this earlier period of repression... more...
"Yippee Ki-Yay Moviegoer"
Titan 2012; US$ 9.99With the hilarious ?instant cult classic? Seagalogy: A Study of the Ass-Kicking Films of Steven Seagal , Vern wrote a book that shook the very foundations of film criticism, broke their wrists, and then threw them through a window. Now he?s back, and this time he?s got all of ?the films of badass cinema? in his sights... From Die Hard to The... more...
The “Slumdog” Phenomenon
Anthem Press 2013; US$ 99.00Featuring a dynamic combination of landmark essays by leading critics and theorists, “The ‘Slumdog’ Phenomenon: A Critical Anthology” addresses multiple issues relating to “Slumdog Millionaire,” providing new ways of looking at this controversial film. more...
The 'I' of the Camera
Cambridge University Press 2003; US$ 30.00Originally published in 1988, The 'I' of the Camera has become a classic in the literature of film. William Rothman challenges readers to think about film in adventurous ways that are more open to movies and our experience of them. This second edition includes fourteen new essays and a new foreword. more...
The (Moving) Pictures Generation
Palgrave Macmillan 2012; US$ 90.00Beginning in the late 1970s, a number of visual artists in downtown New York City returned to an exploration of the cinematic across mediums. Vera Dika considers their work within a greater cultural context and probes for a deeper understanding of the practice. more...
10,000 Ways to Die
Oldcastle Books 2010; US$ 18.9440 years ago as a Graduate student I wrote a book about Spaghetti Westerns, called 10,000 ways to die. It's an embarrassing tome when I look at it now: full of half- assed semiotics and other attenuated academic nonsense. In the intervening period, I have had the interesting experience of being a film director. So now, when I watch these films, I'm... more...
