Download or read book Death Wish written by Chris Sorrentino and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2010-11-01 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deep Focus is a series of film books with a fresh approach. Take the smartest, liveliest writers in contemporary letters and let them loose on the most vital and popular corners of cinema history: midnight movies, the New Hollywood of the sixties and seventies, film noir, screwball comedies, international cult classics, and more. Passionate and idiosyncratic, each volume of Deep Focus is long-form criticism that’s relentlessly provocative and entertaining. Christopher Sorrentino’s examination of Death Wish is the second entry in the series. The fourth collaboration between director Michael Winner and actor Charles Bronson, Death Wish was the apotheosis of a succession of films hitting screens during the seventies—including Bullitt, Dirty Harry, and Walking Tall—that tacked against a prevailing liberal wind in Hollywood cinema. Exploiting audience fears of a bestial “other” infesting American cities, and explicitly linking law and order with a pastoral ideal of the Old West (and exurban subdivisions), its glib endorsement of vigilantism infuriated liberal critics even as it filled theaters with cheering audiences. Sorrentino examines Death Wish in its various contexts—as movie, as provocation, as social commentary, as political tautology, and as depiction of urban life—and considers its lasting influence on cinema.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why should she trust the man who got her kidnapped? Because he’s her only hope of getting out alive. Erienne Stuart is on a mission, and her plan to seduce a sexy stranger is working out better than she’d hoped. Fitz is hot, charming, and just the right bad boy she was looking for to help tear down her very personal roadblock. But her night of seduction takes a chilling turn when she becomes the pawn of the ruthless enemies who want Fitz dead, and they won’t think twice about killing her to extract their revenge. Much as she now wishes she never laid eyes on Fitz, he’s her only chance for survival. He’d wanted to savor every inch of her body. Now he needs to save her life. OASIS operative and former Navy SEAL Mordecai “Fitz” Fitzjames should have known it wasn’t meant to be with the blonde goddess who’d practically fallen into his lap. The minute Erienne walked into the local biker bar, he’d known she was both out of her depth and out of his league. But that didn’t mean he couldn’t take her for the walk on the wild side she’d come looking for. His plans for a single night of passion are obliterated when the vicious drug lord he’s investigating snatches Erienne, forcing Fitz to become her bodyguard instead of her lover. Knowing it’s his fault she’s in this lethal mess, he will lay down his life to save hers.

Download or read book Don t Think Twice written by Barbara Schoichet and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2016-09-06 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A late-in-life coming-of-age escapade told with humor and heart, Don’t Think Twice is a moving and irreverent account of grief, growing up, and the healing power of adventure. Within six months, Barbara Schoichet lost everything: her job, her girlfriend of six years, and her mother to pancreatic cancer. Her life stripped bare, and armed with nothing but a death wish and a ton of attitude, Barbara pursues an unlikely method of coping. At the age of fifty she earns her motorcycle license, buys a Harley on eBay from two guys named Dave, and drives it alone from New York to Los Angeles on a circuitous trek loosely guided by her H.O.G. tour book and a whole lot of road whimsy. On the open highway—where she daily takes her speed to a hundred—Barbara battles physical limitations and inner demons on a journey that flows through the majestic Appalachian Mountains, the enchanting Turquoise Trail, and all along America’s iconic Route 66. She is awed by the battlefields in Gettysburg, stunned by the decadence of Graceland, and amused by a Cadillac graveyard in the middle of nowhere. She meets kind strangers, odd strangers, and a guy who pulls a gun on her for cutting him off. She is vulnerable but sassy, broken but determined to heal . . . or die trying.

Download or read book Savages and Saints written by Bob Herzberg and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-01-10 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of American Indians on screen can be compared to a light shining through a prism. We may have seen bits and pieces of the genuine culture portrayed, but rarely did we see a satisfying and informative whole picture. Savages and Saints deals with the changing image of the American Indian in the Western film genre, contrasting the fictionalized images of native Americans portrayed in classic films against the historical reality of life on the American frontier. The book tells the stories of frontier warriors, Indian and white, revealing how their stories were often drastically altered on screen according to the times the films were made, the stars involved in the film's production, and the social/political beliefs of the filmmakers. Studio correspondence, letters from government files, and passages from western novels adapted for the screen are used to illustrate the various points. Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.

Download or read book The New Biographical Dictionary of Film written by David Thomson and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2014-05-06 with total page 1169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For almost thirty years, David Thomson’s Biographical Dictionary of Film has been not merely “the finest reference book ever written about movies” (Graham Fuller, Interview), not merely the “desert island book” of art critic David Sylvester, not merely “a great, crazy masterpiece” (Geoff Dyer, The Guardian), but also “fiendishly seductive” (Greil Marcus, Rolling Stone). This new edition updates the older entries and adds 30 new ones: Darren Aronofsky, Emmanuelle Beart, Jerry Bruckheimer, Larry Clark, Jennifer Connelly, Chris Cooper, Sofia Coppola, Alfonso Cuaron, Richard Curtis, Sir Richard Eyre, Sir Michael Gambon, Christopher Guest, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, Spike Jonze, Wong Kar-Wai, Laura Linney, Tobey Maguire, Michael Moore, Samantha Morton, Mike Myers, Christopher Nolan, Dennis Price, Adam Sandler, Kevin Smith, Kiefer Sutherland, Charlize Theron, Larry Wachowski and Andy Wachowski, Lew Wasserman, Naomi Watts, and Ray Winstone. In all, the book includes more than 1300 entries, some of them just a pungent paragraph, some of them several thousand words long. In addition to the new “musts,” Thomson has added key figures from film history–lively anatomies of Graham Greene, Eddie Cantor, Pauline Kael, Abbott and Costello, Noël Coward, Hoagy Carmichael, Dorothy Gish, Rin Tin Tin, and more. Here is a great, rare book, one that encompasses the chaos of art, entertainment, money, vulgarity, and nonsense that we call the movies. Personal, opinionated, funny, daring, provocative, and passionate, it is the one book that every filmmaker and film buff must own. Time Out named it one of the ten best books of the 1990s. Gavin Lambert recognized it as “a work of imagination in its own right.” Now better than ever–a masterwork by the man playwright David Hare called “the most stimulating and thoughtful film critic now writing.”

Then, in an instant, he is wrenched away from everything he has worked so hard for. Torn away not by illness or accident or even by a catastrophe of nature, but by one of the people who made him the famed author he is; his self proclaimed greatest fan, CHARLES MORRISON QUEEG. Queeg collects first editions of his favorite authors, but this crazed fan also collects some of the authors themselves. Rex Stephenson is destined to be his latest acquisition the latest "guest" in Queeg's New Hampshire home! Many twists and turns later, Rex discovers one of the reason for his abduction. He has not had book signings for several years, so Queeg has abducted him in order to force him to sign all the books in his Stephenson collection! Further events prove to Rex that Queeg is a truer madman than he thought and a possible psychotic killer. Rex is now sure that he is not the only "guest" Queeg has ever had. Rex fights a psychological war of the minds with Queeg and struggles through horrifying events that test his sanity and perseverance. As he signs an old manuscript for Queeg that he had written as a teenager, he finds that these same events he is living through had happened to the protagonist in that old, forgotten story! Rex determines that he must find a way to escape from the impregnable cell in the basement of Queeg's residence as soon as possible or he is certain he will die there. Armed with only his mind and brilliant imagination, Rex perseveres and with outside help from his agent, DAVE HARTMANN, and his policeman friend, JOHNNY REAGAN, he finally manages an escape from his flaming prison; set ablaze by Queeg to cover his tracks before he disappears. However, this is not the end of Rex's tribulations at the hands of Queeg. Time passes, and when Queeg is nothing but a horrible, distant memory, Queeg bursts back into Rex's life in full fury. During a blinding winter blizzard as Rex is closing up his summer home for the winter, to his horror, he is confronted by Queeg once more; shotgun in hand, determined to extract his final vengeance from Rex Stephenson.

Download or read book ReFocus The Films of Delmer Daves written by Matthew Carter and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-25 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Destination Tokyo (1943) to The Battle of the Villa Fiorita (1965), Delmer Daves was responsible for a unique body of work, but few filmmakers have been as critically overlooked in existing scholarly literature. Often regarded as an embodiment of the self-effacing craftsmanship of classical and post-War Hollywood, films such as Broken Arrow (1950) and 3:10 to Yuma (1957) reveal a filmmaker concerned with style as much as sociocultural significance. As the first comprehensive study of Daves's career, this collection of essays seeks to deepen our understanding of his work, and also to problematize existing conceptions of him as a competent, conventional and even naAve studio man.
