Seeking the roots of society's fascination and obsession with horror, Poole lands on World War I. The unimaginable carnage and obliteration of life wrought by that war, according to Poole, impacted artists in their creation of horror novels and films, and, more dangerously, infected cultures, breeding Nazism, totalitarianism, and fascism. ~ Reviewed by Mike Hare

I have read many, many books about Star Wars over the years. This is, I believe, one of the first memoirs written by someone who worked in the trenches of George Lucas' Industrial Light and Magic, ILM.
Kimberlin weaves personal anecdotes from throughout his life in with behind the scenes tales of film making, life on Lucas Ranch, and other sorts of gossip not often found in official Star Wars publications.
As an employee of ILM, the author not only took part in crafting that galaxy far, far away (including the epic shot from Return of the Jedi seen on the cover) but Kimberlin also worked on Jurassic Park, Schindler's List, Back to the Future, and so many more beloved movies.
This is a quick read, easy to digest in short spurts, and bring a real human eye to the sometimes incredible mythology of Lucasfilm, Spielberg, Star Wars, etc. that has been built up over the years.

The evolution of my third all-time favorite movie, from the publication of Edna Ferber's bestseller about Texas to the tragic death of one of its major stars shortly before filming was completed. This was a troubled endeavor almost from its inception. Director George Stevens' penchant for meticulousness ran directly counter to Jack Warner's concern for schedule and budget overruns and Texans in particular were not fond of Ferber's book. "Giant" was quite possibly the only film that Elizabeth Taylor ever made in which neither of the leading actors had the remotest romantic interest in her. A great book for film lovers. ~ Reviewed by Alden Graves

From teenage crime reporter, to the sands of D-Day Normandy, early pulp writer, and eventually Hollywood cult director, Samuel Fuller turns his yarn the best way he knows how, by getting down deep and dirty to tell the God's honest truth. This man lived one of the most fascinating lives I've ever heard told, and the blunt honesty to which he tells it still moves me years later. One aspires to live like him while reading his tale—to wrestle down in the mud, to experience and to feel every pain and every breath life has to offer. ~ Reviewed by Alex Bell
