Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Riaz Mohammed was born into a Muslim family in Pakistan. While a boy in the village of Gujarat, he witnessed a young boy chasing cattle into a fast-flowing stream. The boy was pulled from the water, but there was nothing that could be done for him-and he died. It was then that the author decided to be a doctor, so he could help people. Eventually, the author and his family immigrated to Scotland. There, he was treated unkindly, but he was determined to navigate his way through life. At age sixteen, he saw a vision of Jesus Christ while at camp. He converted to Christianity, which only made his life more complicated, but he studied hard and became a surgeon. He had started a family of his own and was at the top of his career when he contracted Hepatitis B-and he had to start over again in an entirely new way. Through it all, God worked in miraculous ways to never let him down.
Download or read book Peter Bogdanovich written by Peter Tonguette and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2015-01-21 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before he was the Academy Award-nominated director of The Last Picture Show, Peter Bogdanovich (1939–2022) interviewed some of cinema's great masters: Orson Welles, Alfred Hitchcock, John Ford, and others. After becoming an acclaimed filmmaker himself, he gave countless interviews to the press about his own career. This volume collects thirteen of his best, most comprehensive, and most insightful interviews, many long out of print and several never before published in their entirety. They cover more than forty years of directing, with Bogdanovich talking candidly about his great triumphs, such as The Last Picture Show and What's Up, Doc?, and his overlooked gems, such as Daisy Miller and They All Laughed. Assembled by acclaimed critic Peter Tonguette, also author of a critical biography of Bogdanovich, these interviews demonstrate that Bogdanovich was not only one of America's finest filmmakers, but also one of its most eloquent when discussing film and his own remarkable movies.

August 21, 2004 Book Review - Stephen Z. Smith, M.D. WHATS UP, DOC? David P. Kalin, M.D., M.P.H. The Healthplace, P.O. Box 6009, Palm Harbor, FL 34684 ISBN: 1-4010-8801-5 Order: Xlibris Corporation, 1-888-795-4274, www.Xlibris.com, [email protected] An unusual book with an uncommon style, this tight little work of 100 or so pages should be consumed by the medically nave. With thirteen small chapters lighted with frequent bold printing, hand drawn sketches and pithy one liners, this reading favors the quick learn rather than the plodder. Offered as a conversation rather than a lecture, this information has the qualities of attachment and relevance rather than being pedantic. Some questions could be anticipated such as cholesterol numbers, vasectomy side effects, STDs and the like. Other chapters are more sensational in title, like Whats With Those Chinese Balls? Yet these headliners really belie very useful if not folksy descriptions. Probably few physicians will read this without some prodding, but this report stands as one physician telling others to read and remember that direct language registers with patients. Not all of us are comfortable with this brotherly relating to patients, but learning some holistic and other non traditional medicine should be helpful. For a modest price and easy wording, this book can be accepted as worthy for patient consumption.
Download or read book Better Living Through Criticism written by A. O. Scott and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2017-02-07 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times film critic shows why we need criticism now more than ever Few could explain, let alone seek out, a career in criticism. Yet what A.O. Scott shows in Better Living Through Criticism is that we are, in fact, all critics: because critical thinking informs almost every aspect of artistic creation, of civil action, of interpersonal life. With penetrating insight and warm humor, Scott shows that while individual critics--himself included--can make mistakes and find flaws where they shouldn't, criticism as a discipline is one of the noblest, most creative, and urgent activities of modern existence. Using his own film criticism as a starting point--everything from his infamous dismissal of the international blockbuster The Avengers to his intense affection for Pixar's animated Ratatouille--Scott expands outward, easily guiding readers through the complexities of Rilke and Shelley, the origins of Chuck Berry and the Rolling Stones, the power of Marina Abramovich and 'Ode on a Grecian Urn.' Drawing on the long tradition of criticism from Aristotle to Susan Sontag, Scott shows that real criticism was and always will be the breath of fresh air that allows true creativity to thrive. "The time for criticism is always now," Scott explains, "because the imperative to think clearly, to insist on the necessary balance of reason and passion, never goes away."

Book excerpt: “A must have for any film nut.”—Details Peter Bogdanovich, award-winning director, screenwriter, actor and critic, interviews 16 legendary directors over a 15-year period. Their richly illuminating conversations combine to make this a riveting chronicle of Hollywood and picture making.

Lewis • Sidney Lumet • Leo McCarey • Otto Preminger • Don Siegel • Josef von Sternberg • Frank Tashlin • Edgar G. Ulmer • Raoul Walsh NOTE: This edition does not include photographs. Praise for Who the Devil Made It “Illuminating . . . These were (and sometimes are: a few yet breathe) men rooted in history as much as in Hollywood. Their collected memories make the past look fearfully rich beside a present that is poverty-stricken in everything except money.”—The New Yorker “Bogdanovich is one of America’s finest writers on the cinema. . . . Thank goodness [his] Who the Devil Made It has come along to remind us that films and writing about film were, at one time, focused on the work and not strictly on the bottom line.”—The Boston Globe “A treasure trove on the craft of directing.”—Newsday “Monumental . . . The directors’ reminiscences about technique, working methods, sources of ideas, and relationships with actors and studios are thoroughly entertaining.”—Publishers Weekly “A fine achievement that helps illuminate the art and craft of some remarkable directors . . . There are plenty of revealing anecdotes.”—Kirkus Reviews
Download or read book Crab Monsters Teenage Cavemen and Candy Stripe Nurses written by Chris Nashawaty and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2016-12-16 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Delightful . . . an engrossing oral history . . . As an enthusiastic ode to colorful, seat-of-your-pants filmmaking, this one’s hard to beat.” —Booklist (starred review) “Fantastic—a treasure.” —Stephen King Crab Monsters, Teenage Cavemen, and Candy Stripe Nurses is an outrageously rollicking account of the life and career of Roger Corman—one of the most prolific and successful independent producers, directors, and writers of all time, and self-proclaimed king of the B movie. As told by Corman himself and graduates of “The Corman Film School,” including Peter Bogdanovich, James Cameron, Francis Ford Coppola, Robert De Niro, and Martin Scorsese, this comprehensive oral history takes readers behind the scenes of more than six decades of American cinema, as now-legendary directors and actors candidly unspool recollections of working with Corman, continually one-upping one another with tales of the years before their big breaks. Crab Monsters is supplemented with dozens of full-color reproductions of classic Corman movie posters; behind-the-scenes photographs and ephemera (many taken from Corman’s personal archive); and critical essays on Corman’s most daring films—including The Intruder, Little Shop of Horrors, and The Big Doll House—that make the case for Corman as an artist like no other. “This new coffee table book, brimming with outrageous stills from many of Corman’s hundreds of films, looks at the wild career of the starmaker who was largely responsible for so much of the Hollywood we know today.” —New York Post “Vividly illustrated.” —People “It includes in-depth aesthetic appreciations of ten of Corman’s movies, which, taken together, make a compelling case for Corman as an artist.” —Hollywood.com “Outrageously entertaining.” —Parade “Endlessly fascinating.” —PopMatters

Download or read book Barbra Streisand written by Neal Gabler and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2016-04-26 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Barbra Streisand has been called the “most successful...talented performer of her generation” by Vanity Fair, and her voice, said pianist Glenn Gould, is “one of the natural wonders of the age.” Streisand scaled the heights of entertainment—from a popular vocalist to a first-rank Broadway star in Funny Girl to an Oscar-winning actress to a producer and director. But she has also become a cultural icon who has transcended show business. To achieve her success, Brooklyn-born Streisand had to overcome tremendous odds, not the least of which was her Jewishness. Dismissed, insulted, even reviled when she embarked on a show business career for acting too Jewish and looking too Jewish, she brilliantly converted her Jewishness into a metaphor for outsiderness that would eventually make her the avenger for anyone who felt marginalized and powerless. Neal Gabler examines Streisand’s life and career through this prism of otherness—a Jew in a gentile world, a self-proclaimed homely girl in a world of glamour, a kooky girl in a world of convention—and shows how central it was to Streisand’s triumph as one of the voices of her age.
