The Shawshank Redemption: The Shooting Script (Newmarket Shooting Script Series)

Newmarket Press, 2004

Great in depth exploration
As a rule, don't buy shooting scripts if you want to write a screenplay. Shooting scripts are finished products. That said, screenwriters can learn from this exploration of the classic movie (yes, folks, it is a classic, it's been shown a billion times on TNT), by reading the deleted scenes (my personal favorite is one about the publicity of Warden Norton's prison-to-work scheme, in which ...

Cabaret: The Illustrated Book and Lyrics

Life is a Cabaret!
This is the next best thing to seeing Cabaret in studio 54! Pictures of the Roundabout theater production light up this book and tells the story of the revived new musical. This book does not tell the story of the Liza Minelli version, or any of the other Cabaret versions, but of that of the revival. I have seen the new production in person, and can only say that this is the next best ...

"Magnolia: The Shooting Script" is Awesome!
Paul Thomas Anderson is a very vulnerable & giving author!He really nurtures the reader with secrets that aren't even revealed in the wonderful "making of" additional feature on the DVD. Get both & you will be powerfully inspired by a true artist, who went against the rules & won brilliantly. Thank God award season appreciated the wonderful work of art Magnolia was, and still is in my collection.

Very interesting
Saving Private Ryan and The Triumph and the Glory have sparked an interest in me about WWII. The novel isn't quite as good as the movie but anyway this book is a great behind the scenes look at the making of a terrific movie.

It is an original!
This book is great because it is an original! You have the original storylines and no additions from other authors. You learn how such a series is made and how important the actors are to bring the action to live.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind: The Shooting Script (Newmarket Shooting Script Series)

Charlie Kaufman, Michel Gondry

Newmarket Press, 2004

Thought provoking and truly original
This was a movie I didn't expect to like. I hadn't heard that much about it and wasn't all that enthusiastic about seeing another Jim Carey movie. Boy, was I pleasantly surprised. First of all, this movie is truly original. That's rare these days. It revolves around the premise that you can erase someone from your memories. In this case, the "someone" to be erased is Kate Winslet's ...

Emma Thompson's dazzling adaptation of Jane Austen's novel
If you read Jane Austen's "Sense and Sensibility" before or after seeing the 1996 film version then I think it is pretty easy to conclude that Emma Thompson's Oscar for Best Screenplay adaptation was richly deserved. After writing and performing a series of short skits for British television, Thompson was approached by producer Lindsay Doran to write the screenplay. Thompson began by ...

He spells everything out in terms that even the most naive actors can understand. Not only does Silver explain how to look at an audition, but he also goes into great detail about how to emphasize, breathe, stand, walk, ...

An African's strong will to fight, keep from being a slave.
"THE BEST!", Its inspiring on one's will to keep himself and other Africans from the early slave trade which destroyed many families in America. Exciting effort to fight in a foreign country without knowing its language or laws. Very forth right in telling truth of American's untold "ugly" slave trade and what slave traders were willing to do just to keep it alive. Amistad's truth about slavery ...

This book was outstanding in my own mind. There was just not anything that turned me off and made put the book down. Yes, this is science fiction and actually loved it, because the characters were described so well. A person may feel as if they really knew or felt that they may be somewhat alike. I personally do not like science fiction but as much as I enjoyed this, I may just change and ...

A Journey I'm Ready To Take
Anthony Minghella has become today's poet of images. His films are lyrical and very emotional. They are beautiful, always thoughtful and very touching. That's why I counted my lucky stars when I learned that Minghella would next adapt one of the best and most beautiful books I've ever read, Charles Frazier's Cold Mountain. Could Mountain: The Journey from Book to Film takes you on the road that ...

If you have a special needs child, this is the book to read.
I have read many books out there, and this is the best one that I have found. This book is much better than Dana Buchman's book called "A Special Education" in which she constantly refers to her daughter's mild mental retardation as a "learning difference". In this book, the author is honest and tells it like it is.... she does not sugar coat it like Buchman's book. In Buckman's book, she ...

From Diapers to Dating : A Parent's Guide to Raising Sexually Healthy Children, from Infancy to Adolescence.

Debra W. Haffner

Newmarket Press, 1999

Should be in every parents' bookshelf before baby arrives
This is really a wonderful book - I wish my wife and I had had it when our children were younger. Haffner speaks as a parent of two children herself, with a professional background of a sexuality educator. Her advice is practical and specific and she has a warm and helpful "voice" in addressing parents - she admits her own mistakes and then tells you how she (or her husband) recovered from ...

Chicago: The Movie and Lyrics (Newmarket Pictorial Moviebook)

Newmarket Press, 2003

A LAVISH, RAZZLE-DAZZLE BOOK
If you liked the movie (and, didn't we all?) you'll love this lavish, razzle-dazzle book. Some 183 eye-popping full color photos and illustrations are reminders of what a treat for the eyes this film is. It's hard to believe that pages can contain those glamorous larger than life screen figures - Renee Zellweger, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Richard Gere, Queen Latifah - but, they do with photographs ...

Wake Me When It's Funny: How to Break into Show Business and Stay There (Newmarket Insider Filmbook)

Garry Marshall, Lori Marshall

Newmarket Press, 1997

Up there with "Harpo Speaks" for all-time feel-good bios!
This book is a joy! Garry Marshall is a fine writer of jokes for stand-up comedians of yore, sitcoms &, apparently, of full-length show biz autobiographies. He discusses his life in an extremely entertaining way. His asides - about moviemaking, camerawork & tips on the directing/producing process - are enjoyable for everyone, not just aspiring filmmakers. There are (truly) laugh out loud sections ...

Dad: A Novel

William Wharton

Newmarket Press, 1996

Bowled over
Dad snuck up and bit me. I found it uneven. It is a book to be taken apart and studied in chunks. The sequence of the son caring for the parents was incredible; gritty and raw. So many questions raised: what IF you can't stand your own mother but you still have to live with her? What IF there is another and better dimension for your beleagured father? What do you do if you find your father has ...
