Customer Review: As I'm sure it is with most people, once you pick up a good book and you start reading, you can't stop until you finish it. It's how it happened with "Save the Cat." It is without a doubt one of the most interesting books about film-making I have read. As a budding film-maker myself, as I was... more info
Customer Review: I understand why McKee is a king in the literary world. His direction, ideas and instructions are priceless to anyone soaked by the writing of words. It's a book that must be on the desk of anyone sincere about their writing craft. When I learned that best selling author Eric Jerome Dickey bought... more info

The... more info
Customer Review: Typical tired lefty-liberal diatribe about a screenwriter/director in Hollywood. Dull stories sprinkled with startling "revelations" including how Louis Malle cut a cake in random shapes that left Mr. Meyer stunned with admiration. Republicans are evil, Bush is a war criminal with a list of "crimes"... more info
Customer Review: Classic comedy. All the supporting case is stellar. Except Andie MacDowell. She's not believable (is she really attractive enough to follow around at all these weddings?) and at this point in her career, she wasn't that good an actress. Or maybe this is her being good and in that case I just don't... more info
