Screen World Volume 62: The Films Of 2010

Recently I recommended a book that I was not familiar with (imagine that!?)  The book, Screen World (by Barry Monush and published by Applause Theatre & Cinema Books) is the bible by which movie professionals (actors, actresses and production people) refer to when gauging and researching movies put out year-to-year.

Screen World: The Films Of 2010 was just released and in its pages every movie (and I do mean EVERY movie) produced during 2010 is categorized, given a short synopsis, has its acting repertoire and production people listed, studio or independent filmmakers credited and several stills from each movie shown.

Besides listing movie statistics, other movie-centered information is also included such as awards given, obituaries, top-grossing films, promising new talent and so forth.

Screen World is a ‘must-have’ resource for any serious movie lover.  I literally spent hours looking through its pages at photos and reading information.  It’s a fascinating read that digs into the meat and bones of the movie industry.
