Love and Family at 24 Frames Per Second
The smell of popcorn popping, the sound of the projector starting, the hush of the audience as the movie is about to start. We all have had these moments with movies and we usually share it with the ones we are closest to, whether it be a spouse, friend or family.

The book looks at such classic films as Star Wars, James Bond, Terminator 2, Die Hard and more.
Thoughts on the Thin Man
Undoubtedly some of the most witty and urbane films of Hollywood's Golden Age, the six movies that composed MGM's Thin Man series showcased a pair of wealthy, inebriated detectives who solve murders in their down time. Through the series' run from 1934 to 1947, William Powell and Myrna Loy turned Nick and Nora Charles into a cinematic institution, showcasing a marriage that was sexy, funny, and exciting, whether there was a gun pointed at them at any given moment or not. Thoughts On The Thin Man reflects on these famous films, looking back at Dashiell Hammett's original inspiration, the genesis of the films, and the men and women who made them possible. This collection of essays covers all six movies, including detailed plot breakdowns, quotes, trivia, discussion of motifs, looks at the many spin-offs of the series, a couple of nostalgic odes, and even drinking games, including a custom cocktail devoted to the duo. Would you expect any less?
Cruel. Tormento
In una New York pericolosa e oscura, con più ombre che luci, i fratelli Mackenzie sono una forza incontrastabile e sono temuti da tutti. Tanto affascinanti quanto spietati, se ne vanno in giro come se fossero i padroni del mondo e come se non avessero preoccupazione alcuna. Con i suoi occhi verdi pieni di mistero, Ryan, il leader, cerca di mantenere l’ordine nel caos. Killian, il maggiore nonché il più scellerato, invece è un richiamo per i guai. Clayton, l’inafferrabile, è sempre un passo avanti agli altri e sembra non provare emozione alcuna. E Tyler, il più giovane, ama giocare d’azzardo e rischiare tutto, persino la sua incolumità. Arya, Beatrix e Cassie li guardano da lonta...
