by: Tim Burton List Price: $19.95 Amazon.com's Price: $13.97 You Save: $5.98 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description If you are a Tim Burton fan, get this book. It's a collection of fun & demented poems about outcasts and outsiders that makes you feel better knowing you're not in their situations. The book is oddly formatted. Some pages have like one line of verse and a picture on the adjacent side. The book looks like it is written for children, but I don't know if any kids would understand or enjoy it as a young adult like me did. The illustrations gave me the creeps, but they didnt ...

|
by: Sting List Price: $26.00 Amazon.com's Price: $17.68 You Save: $8.32 (32%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description In my opinion, Sting's autobiographical book Broken Music, is the most original writing that I have had the pleasure of reading in a long time. The moment I read his introduction I decided to buy the book right then and there. I was intrigued because the introduction was written by him and not somebody else and it communicated to me that this book was not about a modern day rock star's search for fame and glory, but it was more of a coming of age as a man. I like Sting's writing style because ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

by: Walter Murch List Price: $13.95 Amazon.com's Price: $11.16 You Save: $2.79 (20%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description No one doubts Walter Murch's accomplishments, artistry or expertise, right? So I have to wonder where the anti-NLE crowd stands now that Walter Murch himself has thrown the moviola over to cut Anthony Minghella's "Cold Mountain" on Apple's Final Cut Pro? The book by the way, is fine, as far as it goes, which in my opinion isn't far enough. Techology discussions should be left out of books, which I think should stand the test of time, versus say a magazine interview. I'd rather know much more ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

by: Denny Martin Flinn List Price: $16.95 Amazon.com's Price: $11.87 You Save: $5.08 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description Anyone who reads screenplays for a living knows that ninety-nine out of every 100 are absolutely horrible. And not just because the stories are weak, the characters are bland and the dialogue is inane. No, most scripts are painful to read because they're painful to read. Description is confusing, overwritten, or just plain obtuse. UPPERCASE words POP up OFTEN enough to cause MOTION SICKNESS, or the script is rydled with mispellings and grammaticle errs.

Customer Reviews and Description I am a little confused by reviewers that describe this book as funny. It may be misleading, because the information contained in this handbook is real, serious, and written by consulting experts in different fields. Now, maybe what they find funny is the included scenarios, because it is really a bizarre selection. I will clasify them in two categories: Useful: Information you really need to know. Such as * How to break down a door * How to escape killer bees * How ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

by: Ellen DeGeneres List Price: $23.00 Amazon.com's Price: $16.10 You Save: $6.90 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description Let me preface this by saying that, normally, I am a huge fan of Ellen. I find her to be charming, enthusiastic, clever, and downright funny. I love her stand-up comedy, love her HBO specials, and really enjoy her daytime show, when I have a chance to see it. ...However, "The Funny Thing Is..." that the book just wasn't funny. It was, in fact, painful at parts. While I normally adore her sometimes quirky wit, it just didn't come through in this book. I am unsure if she was experimenting with new comedy, or a ...
