This book was great and I can't wait to read it again

This book told of the trials and tribulations of the characters of the past. It helped new viewers to catch up on the events of the past, while taking life long watchers on a trip down memory lane. Great Job!!

As a huge fan of the Y&R from its inception, I was very entharalled and delighted with this book. It is a *MUST* read for any fan of this show. Not only does it take you down memory lane, but it refreshes the memory of many story lines.

This is an excellent book to own if your a true Y&R fan. Has lots of history about the show and characters along with beautiful photos.

Ithink this book is pretty neat and I got it for Christmas and I started reading it right away. In the wedding album though, you forgot to mention Victor and Ashley's marriage and Jack and Nikki's marriage. Why was that?

An avid fan since the beginning, I have truly enjoyed going down memory lane and filling in the blanks of storylines long forgotten. This book covers every detail and depth of the characters and their development. Truly a must-have for anyone who has grown to love the people of Genoa City.

This is such a wonderful book! I wasn't much of an "It's a Wonderful Life" fan until I met the lovely Karolyn Grimes recently. She spoke about IAWL with such passion that I went out and bought the DVD the next day and watched it again, through new eyes.

This book is full of rare photographs as well as little known trivia. You'll feel as though you have a new friend after reading this book.

If you love little Zuzu Bailey, then you need to buy this book! And even if you're only a casual viewer of "It's a Wonderful Life", you're still going to really enjoy reading this.

This gorgeous book is absolutely chock-full of stunningly crystal-clear photos and delightful remembrances from Karolyn Grimes. It's perfect for collectors of books and memorabilia related to old Hollywood as well as those who would just like to know more about the Karolyn and her movies. "Zuzu's Wonderful Life in the Movies" is a cherished book in my library.

Zuzu's Wonderful Life In The Movies: The Story of Karolyn Grimes by Christopher Brunell is a veritable showcase of on-screen and behind the scenes photographs featuring Karolyn Grimes, the talented child star of "It's a Wonderful Life" and many, many other memorable Hollywood films. Complementing these captivating black-and-white photos is a brief yet involving story of actress Karolyn Grimes' personal life, the obstacles she faced, and her extensive filmography. Highly recommended for fans of classic movies, Zuzu's Wonderful Life In The Movies is a seminal contribution to Cinematic History reference collections and a "must" for any dedicated fan of the Golden Age of movie making.

I like this show and like the mech drawings and stuff I wish they would make a second season!

I used to watch the Battletech cartoon with out knowing Battletech.Now 6 pc games ,157 cards,dozen minitures,and 30 books later I can enjoy the source book.It is all in color(few pages in the back arn't)wich is a major plus. It gives summaries of the characters with good art work from the show.After that it has info on the 'Mechs in the cartoon. The 'Mech art cool is computer stuff.(Makes the Clan 'Mechs in Tech:3050 sorry!) The best is a detailed episode guide of the series. Each page with (almost each)a sweet scene from that episode. Some times they "round"corners, like the discription of the Mauler is a little confuseing.Another is the lack of depth in the pre exsitihg BT characters. But then how can you cram every thing in Battltech in to a neat cartoon series?(it should be made known that the show also uses computer animation with traditional "hand" animation,makes the battles better then the CD-Rom games!)It gives info on the people and 'Mechs for the role playing game.The book gives vivid detail on the 1st Sumerset Strikers that pop up in the books sometimes.Recap:This source book has something for every one but most of all is very good(and colorful!)reading.A must for EVERY Battletech FAN!!

This is one of the best LOTR datebooks I've seen. It has many photo quality pictures, which have pictures not seen before in the movie. Each day has either a picture, quote or trivia from the fellowship of the ring. It has enough space to write homework, meetings or just day-to-day stuff. At the beginning it also has some nice inteview exerpts from the leading characters from the FOTR. Any true fan of LOTR could not do without

I was expecting another list book where someone gave their opinion about what he or she liked. I also expected to hate the list because I usually disagree with many critics on their top 10 or 20 lists. With an extra 30 to choose from I immediately snatched this book up and was ready to argue. I was pleasantly surprised.

There is no possible way anyone could agree with all 50 movies on the list, but there are some absolute gems that normaly get missed. In addition, the author adds his 10 favorite movies, making a clear distinction between favorite and best. That is not all.

There are also two other lists that Russo compares his list to. that is pretty brave in my opinion, because there are major differences and Russo sticks to his guns with his choices. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and will be sure to flip through it again and again as movies discussed are watched in the future. I might even check out his other book. If it's half as good as this one it will be well worth it.

Highly recommended, even for the occasional movie fan.

I agree with the first review on this page. This book is awesome. I love the fact that the movies are talked about in a conversational manner. It's like the author is talking to us, not down to us. I try to see as many movies as I can and this book has given me some great new movies to see that I never had before.

I hope they strart discussing it on the internet movie databse, because he talks about their top 250 list and points out some of the positives and the flaws. All in all a great book and one that I highly recommend to anyone who likes movies.

My son wants to make movies. This book seemed like a good place to begin for him to learn about establised directors and what made them unique.
I feel the book will not only be interesting, but inspirational.

This book is summarising all of the successfull and talented directors all around the world with best informations and photos. This is a journey to the amazing minds of movie inventors from past to present.

This last volume of the books that examine the classical Doctor Who series is a must, as is all the books in the series. Sure, there are spelling mistakes and just plain mistakes, but they are few and far between. I loved the extra information - such as the chapters on Peter Cushing and the Daleks movies. I have those movies, so it is great fun to learn more about the behind the scenes and how the films were made.

Gayest Doctor Who moments. The Cartmel Plan. Etc., etc., etc.

If you want a guidebook, or even just a set of essays and opinions, about the sixth and seven doctors episodes, then you need this book. Obsessive doesn't even begin to describe the coverage. Heck, get all of the "About Time" books for the complete Dr. Who fandom experience.

Lawrence Grobel is a brilliant entertainment interviewer. I have admired his work and by reading "Above the Line: Conversations about the movies", his work inspires me even more. As an entertainment writer, I've always wanted to conduct my interviews like Grobel's. One thing about Grobel's style is that he's smart, he's a man who does his research and although I have never met the man, his interviews are intelligent, informative and it leaves me complete. Where magazines tend to have the typical questions that are becoming so damn repetitive in many entertainment publications (and also to short), when you read this book you can tell by his conversations with people like Harrison Ford, Sharon Stone, Oliver Stone and more that they have a certain respect for this man. I can't wait to read the next book from Grobel (which I hope there is another one) and I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves reading entertainment interviews and to those who are interviewers as well. "Above the Line" is deserving of the five stars.

Lawrence Grobel has been writing the finest interviews with the world's famous for the past twenty years. Finally, a compilation of his best work has arrived. The thing that sets Grobel apart from most interviewers is research. He makes a consistent effort to never repeat the same old tired questions. This is apparent throughout this book. I highly recommend both the Robert Evans interview and the Oliver Stone, but they're all pretty great. Be sure to check out Grobel's work each month in Movieline and Palyboy magazines as well.
