Movies to See--or Not to See (Movies-Go-Round Book 1)

Dr. William Russo, professor of film studies and film critic, has written short critiques of every movie he watched on Netflix, Amazon Instant, Roku, his tablet, or simply HDTV during 2011 and 2012.

The movies often caused him to go back to the classics and find the origins for plot and character.

Taking an approach from his years of teaching film classes at a Boston college, Russo points out the most odd or idiosyncratic details that make the movie special. The result is a movie review book that provides film aficionados with fresh insights into old movies, and special insight into new movies.

With references and review of 100 movies from recent titles to old classics, this collection never reveals any spoilers—but whets your appetite to see films you never considered or heard about.

From the debate over CITIZEN KANE versus VERTIGO to the recent spate of vampire epics, you have found the source to help you make a decision on what to download, what to rent, or (if you’re old fashioned) see at the local movie house.
