The Fantasy Film (New Approaches to Film Genre) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is a great book for avid movie goers and film students. It's fun to read and covers a wide range of movies and styles. Unlike 'textbook' film books, this one reads as if it was intended for anyone to pick it up but it still manages to provide a lot of essential background in film history and theory....

Dave Barry Is Not Taking This Sitting Down Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I'm not the most unbiased reviewer because I have to confess that I have read every book that Barry has ever written including his not so stellar novel. Still, I can't imagine anyone I'd ever want to have coffee with not thinking this book is hysterical. I'm always amazed at his turn of phrase and wit...

Urban Arcana Campaign Setting (d20 Modern) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)When I read of this setting idea in the back D20 Modern I thought it would be an interesting thing to look over and maybe play. Now that I have it, I can see my expectations were rather justified as Urban Arcana looks like a kind of amalagamation of dark modern ideas like the X-Files and mixes it with...

The Legend of Rah and the Muggles Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Some of the people I know had bashed this book without sufficient cause, because the author sued J.K. Rowling over the use of the word "Muggles." Not being a part of the HP throng, I checked this book out and settled down to read. Eventually, I concluded that the lawsuit was needless. This book is bad...

The Books of Magic Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Particularly after the success of Alan Moore's "The Watchmen" and Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns", graphic novels have soared in popularity.

The Book of Witches: A Spellbinding Guide Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)An amazingly trite book. A confusing combination of historical and current witchcraft. Never finds a focus and has often laughable information. Incredibly strange selection of who to include in the listings of witches from stage and screen, witches in legend and myth and real-life witches. Heavy focus...

Consumed: How Markets Corrupt Children, Infantilize Adults, and Swallow Citizens Whole Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I see a number of other reviewers belittling the book because of some trivial factual error regarding sports figures or celebrities, but in my eyes those points merely underscores the point that Barber is trying to make. In the end the constant media focus on these types of people is in my eyes a mass...
