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. I would recommend this book for anyone who likes fantasy movies (like Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings), older movies (like Wizard of Oz or Harvey), or is generally interested in how movies function as stories. It would make a great text for college courses in film because it presents major theories and approaches to film study in an unintimidating and fun context. Great read--I recommend it highly!

Daniel Radcliffe: No Ordinary Wizard Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I really enjoyed reading this book. I'm a huge fan of Harry Potter, the books and the movies, and I had a lot of fun reading this bio. It tells all about Dan - how he got cast as Harry, how he, Emma, and Rupert spend their time on the set, and tons of personal information about Daniel. The author also talked a lot about the filming of the first 3 movies, special effects, and what it was like for Dan to grow up in front of a camera. The book also has a bunch of full-color photos of Dan with his co-stars and J.K. All in all, a really entertaining read about one of my favorite people!
