Features: This is absolutely a great book about movies. There are many books about cinema out there, but it seems like none quite like this one—it completely takes a movie enthusiast's perspective and is written by a group of super enthusiastic super fans with exceptionally engaging writing. Do you need a reason to love movies? The question doesn't even need to be asked! But people love to talk about movies or listen to others talking about them. Otherwise, how could those movie magazines filled with tiny print and the talents of young entertainment reporters sell so well? This book is more like a "map" to help people appreciate great films rather than a reason to love movies. A group of recent graduates from journalism school poured their cool and clever writing into this, teaching younger students about Julia Roberts' ability to "be tolerant and forgiving," Nicole Kidman's "only seeing the world when she embraces herself tightly," Anthony Hopkins' "a man who changes colors," and sharing celebrity anecdotes and hot topics, supplemented by numerous related images. The goal of this book is to take ownership of movies in an "energetic campus" style!
