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.
