Book Description
Since the early 1990s, while mainland China’s state-owned movie studios have struggled with financial and ideological constraints, an exciting alternative cinema has developed. Dubbed the âUrban Generation,â this new cinema is driven by young filmmakers who emerged in the shadow of the events at Tiananmen Square in 1989. What unites diverse directors under the âUrban Generationâ rubric is their creative engagement with the wrenching economic and social transformations underway in China. Urban Generation filmmakers are vanguard interpreters of the confusion and anxiety triggered by the massive urbanization of contemporary China. This collection brings together some of the most recent original research on this emerging cinema and its relationship to Chinese society.
The contributors analyze the historical and social conditions that gave rise to the Urban Generation, its aesthetic innovation, and its ambivalent relationship to China’s mainstream film industry and the international film market. Focusing attention on the Urban Generation’s sense of social urgency, its documentary impulses, and its representations of gender and sexuality, the contributors highlight the characters who populate this new urban cinemaâordinary and marginalized city dwellers including aimless bohemians, petty thieves, prostitutes, postal workers, taxi drivers, migrant workersâand the fact that these âfloating urban subjectsâ are often portrayed by non-professional actors. Some essays concentrate on specific films (such as Shower and Suzhou River) or filmmakers (including Jia Zhangke and Zhang Yuan), while others survey broader concerns. Together the thirteen essays in this collection give a multifaceted account of a significant, ongoing cinematic and cultural phenomenon.

Book Description
In these vivid and revealing interviews, a diverse collection of filmmakers talk in extraordinary detail and with amazing candor about making their first films. Each chapter focuses on a director's celebrated debut and tells the inside story of the film's creation. Along the way, every aspect of the movie industry is explored-from writing the script and raising the money to casting the actors and assembling the crew, from shooting and editing to selling the movie and screening it. These interviews are not only memoirs of particular movies; each one is also an emotional journey in which the director relives the pain and elation, the comedy and tragedy, of making a first feature film.
Customer Reviews:
Good Informative Introduction.......2007-08-09
This is a really great and clever introduction on how to make a movie. The interviewer asks succinct questions that are informed and sincere and the directors do what they do so well: tell their gripping stories. This book is well worth your money, though the title did promise to me a slightly more focused book - one that is more about "Their First Movie". But allover: Great Read! As a film student and film buff, I'd say check out the book "The Director's Cut - Picturing Hollywood in the 21st Century" (by Littger) - a book I also reviewed and even favored over this one thanks to being more up-to-date and presenting the diversity of young Hollywood directors today.
HIGHLY ENTERTAINING for us film BUFFS ..........2005-06-09
My friend, Paul Kyriazi, is also a film director, having done OMEGA COP before he turned to writing books.
If you liked this book as much as I did, you may also enjoy a visit to Paul's website: bondlife.com because he tells the behind-the-scenes story of one of his early films. Verrrrrry interesting.
Any good directors out there, my new book would make a wonderful animated movie, or so they tell me. Check it out, too!
Truly, though, I really enjoyed hearing the stories of how these directors made their first films. They may not be STEVEN SPIELBERGs, but they could be HIM in the making! Who knows in this wonderful world of MOVIES.
I highly recommend this book.
75% fat.......2003-03-14
Most of this book is wasted on pointless anecdotes with filmmakers who forgot the purpose of the interview: to describe how their first film got made.
The best interviews are the first and last: the Coen brothers and James Mangold. Allison Anders comes across as very sweet and smart. Steve Buscemi's story is interesting IF you've seen Trees Lounge.
The rest of the interviews fall flat. I had no idea what Bertrand Tavernier was talking about. Or Gary Oldman. Or Mike Figgis, Mike Leigh, Ken Loach...
Save your money and read those "FamousDirector on FamousDirector" books instead.
This is edu-tainmen! (Or should that be 'enter-cation'?).......2002-12-30
I'm only a hundred pages into 'My First Movie' (so my review is not exactly a complete one), but by what I've read so far, this is an educational and entertaining book of insights into the filmmaking world. I think that each separate interview had at least one pearl of wisdom that aspiring film-makers (both in the highest and lowest senses) can take from this book. And for those who aren't necessairily interested in a career in the movies, this book still has plenty of intrigue and gossip in it's pages to enjoy.
I got this as a Christmas present, and I hope that a sequel is in the works.
CIAO!
Very interesting.......2002-04-07
It is all too rare an occurrance to actually find out anything about the PERSON who makes a movie. Most "behind-the-scenes" documentaries and interviews end up being thinly-disguised promotional trailers for movies. Luckily, filmmaker Stephen Lowenstein interviewed 20 filmmakers of various origin, style, and age to bring us this collection of interviews about the experience of making a first film.
Each interview is different, just as each filmmaker's first moviemaking experience was different. Every interview is illuminating and serves to broaden the reader's view of filmmaking, as well as increase appreciation for the sheer hard work and endurance required to get a movie to the point of completion.
I found myself riveted by each director's account of their first movies, of the experience of getting the film to the point of being made, to the casting, to the pre-production, to the first day of filming, to editing and then trying to find a place to screen the darn thing. It was very interesting to get to know each filmmaker, the places they were in the beginning stages of their careers, and the places their films took them to.
I appreciated reading interviews with filmmakers I greatly admire (the Coen brothers), to those I am familiar with and jealous of (Kevin Smith), and especially the interviews with female filmmakers such as Allison Anders and Mira Nair (since I myself am female). Some other interviews I particularly enjoyed: P.J. Hogan ("Muriel's Wedding"), James Mangold ("Heavy"), and Ang Lee ("Pushing Hands").
If you like this book, I highly recommend "Rebel Without a Crew" by Robert Rodriguez, as it is a complete diary of the entire process of the making of his first feature film.

Book Description
Through the oral histories of ten prominent actresses, William Drew takes the readers on a behind-the-scenes tour of Hollywood's Golden Age.
Customer Reviews:
Rediscovering Anita Page, Fay Wray, Billie Dove & More.......2003-06-08
I was surprised that I didn't really enjoy this book especially since I love the era and am a big fan of at least three of these ladies (Billie Dove, Anita Page, Claire Trevor). The big problem for me is that the "interview" chapters are all written in "as told to" format and makes the ladies all sound like one voice. Even so, it's easy to tell which stars Drew was partial to and which he didn't particularly like. The photographs are great but so many are reproduced tiny, about 2x2. The book is printed on beautiful paper stock though and we get so few books these days on classic Hollywood (especially concerning the lesser lights) you might still want to check this one out.
At the Center of the Frame.......2003-03-15
I have thoroughly enjoyed this book, and it appears to be very true to character. I can at least state this to be true about Anita Page, as she is my aunt. It is a very fun read!
Praise for At The Center Of The Frame........2001-08-25
This book was better than I expected. If one enjoys reading about the early Hollywood stars this book is a must. Well written, plenty of photos and the in-dept interviews are a treat to read. Recommended!!!!!
Discovering Their Voices.......2000-06-13
This book, as well as Drew's "Speaking of Silents", is a must-read for anyone interested in silent film history and the transition to sound. Not only does it document changes within the film industry, but it also documents these actresses' stories--in their own voices. I can't recommend it highly enough!

a well writen book joe.......2005-03-17
i agree with danny on this one joe was very hones,t and open about his book. he did elvis proud also larry geller wrote a moving book about his time with elvis and that was also a very honest discription. jeanette
Shockingly candid.......2004-08-03
I have not read that many books about Elvis Presley, but I do consider myself an Elvis fan. Joe Esposito is more candid about Elvis' affairs with women than I had expected of him. You do realize that Elvis was flawed, but only because he was human. There were parts of the book that were almost shocking. Joe even talks briefly about some of Elvis' sexual practices. He picks up, in detail, about the very night he met Elvis and travels on to the day Elvis died, which is also in detail. Joe talks about the funeral arrangements and how he was in on the cover-up about the drugs. Among all the hundreds of books about Elvis, this one is worth the read. You just cannot dismiss Joe Esposito. He was really and truly as close to Elvis as anyone ever was. Joe has probably more first hand knowledge of Elvis than anyone.
It is very interesting to a casual Elvis fan such as me, but l would not recommend it to the die-hard fan.
I agree with another reviewer who spoke of Joe rationalizing the Colonel's treatment of Elvis. I strongly suspect that the Colonel and Joe treated Elvis about the same. They used him to get what they could out of him. Maybe I'm wrong, but the fact is Joe Esposito gained a lot from knowing Elvis and I doubt very seriously he ever would have done or said something that would put him out of favor with Elvis. Elvis was as much Joe's livelihood and he was the Colonel's. Joe does give a story about him and Elvis splitting up at one point, but in the last years Joe did not seem to do anything to help Elvis.
I want to comment on another reviewer's statements concerning Joe's exposure of J. D. Sumner and The Stamps' womanizing. I too love gospel quartets and I was a big J.D. fan, but I am not naïve. Singing, regardless of what genre it is, requires a lot of time on the road and that can easily lead to affairs especially when you happened to tour with Elvis Presley and all the "leftovers" to be had. I even saw J.D. two or three times during the late `80's and early `90's. I just want to say that I for one understand real life is ugly and no one is ever what they appear to be, particularly entertainers even the gospel ones. As far as Joe asking J.D. beforehand whether it was okay for Joe to expose J.D.'s affairs, I doubt too that he asked, but what do you think J.D. would have said, sure go ahead? I appreciated Joe's honesty. He gave plenty of evidence damning himself, but also provided a true picture of life with Elvis. For the record so to speak, J.D. never had a widow. His wife died a few years before him. As a matter of fact I think she died in 1992 or 1994, the year the book came out. J.D. died in November 1998. So although J.D. may have been aware of the book's existence, his wife probably never saw it. But with so many Elvis books out there, I am sure quite a few have mentioned J.D. and some were probably not kind in their remarks.
Good Rockin Book.......2004-06-05
I thought this book was very good! I have read many Elvis books and really liked this one it gives you an inside look into the life of Elvis and the guys around him. i thought Joe was very honest in telling the story. i also liked the fact that this book tells what happened the day elvis died. it really is a great read if you are an elvis fan. good job joe i loved it!
Warm and honest portrayal of a celebrity friend.......2002-08-19
I appreciate Mr. Esposito's warm and honest portayal of Elvis Presley as a complex, imperfect, yet sincere human being as well as a great performer. I especially appreciated his clarification of Elvis' relationship with blacks, and relieved to hear accounts from Myra, one of the members of the Sweet Inspirations (the black female group that did background with Elvis from the late 60s until his death) that Elvis was not a racist and treated blacks with respect, courtesy and admiration. (in fact, he appreciated black music as a child sneaking to black churches to hear the singing). The only thing that bothered me was his account of the late J.D. Sumner and the Stamps running around chasing women the same as Elvis did. Even if it were true, this must be very painful for his widow and children to hear, and I think Esposito should have at least spoken to J.D. before he published something of this nature about him (I believe that J.D. passed away after the book was published). I'm sure if Elvis (who deeply respected gospel music) were alive, he would be appalled. Other than that, the book was very good.
Bad Writin' Tonight.......2001-06-04
This is one of the most inaccurate books ever written about Elvis Presley. It's obvious that Joe's affiliation with The Colonel was something that he tried desperately to rationalize because he is constantly lying in regards to how the Colonel ran things. He gets details wrong all the time, dates,...ect. When you compare this book to others written about Elvis, it's obvious that Joe's memory and his refusal to talk honestly about the Colonel and a few other subjects, make this a bad choice in what books to get about Elvis Presley. Even researchers ignore most of this book when writing their own books about Elvis. It's not that he doesn't talk honestly about the drugs either, he does. But the facts he states involving stories about the movie years and other things he gets the details all wrong.

Customer Reviews:
(RAW Rating: 3.5) - Faces on the Big Screen.......2007-08-04
WE GOTTA HAVE IT by Esther Iverem examines African-Americans' contributions to film over the past twenty years -- the good, the bad, and the ugly. Iverem is unapologetic as she takes African American directors, actors, producers, and writers to task over their works which she feels did not help to enhance society's view of African-Americans. However, her complaints are not one sided and she also calls out white society for the role they have played in the film industry as well.
From the point of view of a culture critic, she writes about popular films such as Menace to Society, Jungle Fever, Diary of a Mad Black Woman and even recent movie's like 2006's Pursuit of Happyness and Dreamgirls. She also covers movies that include black cast members even though the stories do not center around their lives (i.e. Star Wars, Gladiator, Déjà Vu). But, this is more than just a collection of movies. Iverem also writes about the history of films, includes interviews with various stars and commentaries on events such as the Oscars and smaller, lesser known film festivals.
Overall, WE GOTTA HAVE IT is a great resource for anyone interested in film, especially African American film. The reader will find write ups on well known films and lesser known films and documentaries as well. However, the reader must be sure to go into this book with an open mind because you may not always agree with her view. Also there is an inconsistency with which she writes about the different films. For example, some movies can contain a whole review while others only get a one or two line synopsis. Still, WE GOTTA HAVE IT, is a candid look at African-American cinema that will make you think.

Book Description
A revealing look at the influences and aspirations of today's hottest filmmakers
A new era has dawned in Hollywood, with a wave of innovative filmmakers redefining the art of big-screen entertainment for modern audiences. Entertainment journalist Josh Horowitz provides an in-depth look at twenty directors on the leading edge through a series of candid interviews.
Horowitz covers a full range of styles and sensibilities—revealing both the points of agreement and the sharp distinctions among this eclectic group:
• Kevin Smith's do-it-yourself aesthetics in Clerks and Chasing Amy
• Michel Gondry's surreal dreamscapes in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
• Trey Parker's love of fart jokes in South Park
• How Jon Favreau's teenage obsession with Dungeons & Dragons helped make Swingers
• Todd Philips' journey from documentary filmmaker to box-office success with Old School
Customer Reviews:
Review from Arizona Daily Star.......2006-03-23
Budding filmmakers looking for inspiration should check out Josh Horowitz's interview anthology, "The Mind of the Modern Moviemaker: 20 Conversations With the Next Generation of Filmmakers" (Plume, $15).
Horowitz, a writer and TV producer, takes a simple concept - sit down with some of cinema's emerging directorial greats - and elicits eloquent, investigative pieces that truly provide glimpses into some fascinating storytellers.
Interviewing the likes of Michel Gondry, Kevin Smith, Richard Kelly and Neil LaBute, Horowitz has each filmmaker explain his big break, work process and philosophy. He asks surprisingly blunt questions, querying the subjects about significant failures and insecurities.
The author isn't in search of an overwhelming zeitgeist. The interviewees emerge as disparate personalities, all after distinct goals. Brett Ratner ("Rush Hour," "X-Men 3"), for instance, proves to be a business-oriented company man who cares most about making money, while Smith ("Clerks," "Chasing Amy") seems to be content with catering to his small yet devoted audience with his uncompromising fare.
The book is an excellent specimen of entertainment journalism, and the thoughts, hopes and fears expressed by the directors in the book will make for just as interesting a read 10 years from now, when some will be giants while others will surely have faded into obscurity.
Phil Villarreal
Great Book!.......2006-02-18
This book is a really good book! My only complaint is that he had to cut some of the interviews down. The book is really well constructed and has a lot of interesting interviews which show you how hard it really is to get into the moviemaking industry. My favorite interviews were Richard Kelly and the Weitz twins. As an aspiring film maker, I recommend this to anyone who wants to go into the movie business or anyone who likes movies. It's really like getting a back stage pass into the lives of some of today's hottest directors.
Enjoy!
Interesting look at the next generation.......2006-02-16
I really enjoyed this book. There are some new filmmakers on my radar.
Great for film fans.......2006-02-16
If you have even a passing interest in film then this book is a must-have. I collect books on television and film and this one is as good as anything I've read in recent years.
An interesting mix of storytelling, humor, and info for wannabe filmmakers, the author of this book does a fine job of asking informed questions that both fans and students of film want to have answered. What made it really stand out, in my mind, was the selection of filmmakers interviewed. Specifically, it's a group of men and women just reaching the top of their craft. This isn't a book full of old timey Hollywood stories from Robert Evans or even Martin Scorsese - these are the people making films that people are talking about today, and will be talking about for the next fifty years.
I just finished reading it and then ordered another copy for my nephew in film school. A really fun book. Hope this helped.

Felt Like I Was There.......2005-09-11
Just finished reading Twenty Nights To Rock, This book is written in a very different way. Instead of being just about Bruce, Bill takes you on this tour from the fans appreciation and love for Bruce. Bill has gone to great length, discribing each of the concerts he attended on the tour. Talks of the settings, the songs, the attitude of not just the preformer, but of the fans present. While reading, many times, I felt as if I were there with the author as he viewed the crowd, the different personalities, the whole scene. If one wants to know how it feels to be a fan, all they have to do is read the wonderful accounting that Bill has written. Myself, I have never been to a Bruce concert, but you can bet I will some day, and I am sure as I look around at the people I will recall much of Bills' writing.
Thank-you Bill, for your time and effort, and for giving me such a great insight to Bruces' works.

Book Description
"Preferring Paul to John was like preferring Cliff Richard to Elvis Presley, or Donovan to Dylan. John was the leader; he was his own man." -Martin Amis John Lennon lives on. Forty years after the Beatles invaded America in 1964, and more than twenty years after Lennon's death, his work is perennially popular and continues to appeal across the generations. A man shrouded in myth and controversy, Lennon led a complex, enigmatic life. The Lennon Companion is a luminous and multifaceted exploration of John Lennon's life and work, a collection of over fifty articles from a stellar list of writers including Pauline Kael, Tom Wolfe, Martin Amis, Gloria Steinem, and Philip Larkin-a remarkably multidimensional look at Lennon's music, myth, and mystique.

Big on content, small on editorial detail..........2000-02-23
While this books is easily worth the cover price to any Madonna fan or pop culture theorist, as it contains dozens of articles and texts that would be otherwise largely inaccessable, the editorial work is horrible. There are several transcription mistakes, which are painfully obvious even on a cursory reading. There are also many mislabled items, most notably pictures. The worst is a series of articles that are from USA Today dated 1996 - that discuss Madonna's "new" video, "Like A Prayer",which premiered seven years earlier. The articles are obviously mislabled, and no one caught on.
A recomened book for the content, but not for it's shoddy editorial job.
One Hundred Percent Madonna!.......1999-06-20
Being an extrememly dedicated Madonna fan, I am inclined to like almost any book about her. This was no exception. My favorite parts were towards the beginning because there were a lot of interviews, which I love. There were a lot of articles on other people's opinions of her work and although they were enjoyable to read for the most part; some times it would get a little monotonous. There were also some parts where it seemed many articles in a row would be negative, and that was a little annoying to read over and over. But that's what opinions and commentaries are for, right? That's definitely what this book is!
RIVETING!.......1999-02-22
The above speaks for itself
Curious.......1999-01-07
This is an odd collection of commentary on and by Lennon, sometimes boring or missing the point. However, it is interesting to note how some things were received in their day, and the introductory essay from the Boston Phoenix is the most perceptive thing I've ever read about Lennon - apart from Lennon's own massive Playboy and Rolling Stone interviews, which are not included here. Fortunately, we do get the Maureen Cleave article from the 1966 Daily Mail. All in all this collection is somewhat random (as are its chosen illustrations), but interesting.
A Grab Bag (One) of Lennonia.......1998-09-26
This constantly engaging volume offers a grab bag of John Lennon "stuff" from the early days through his 1980 murder. For one thing, it destroys the myth that there was no isnightful writing done about John or The Beatles prior to 1968 or so. Articles by Gloria Steinem and Tom Wolfe from 1964 prove both entertaining and prophetic. As well, the book contains some great obscure interviews with John & Yoko; thus John's voice is as well represented as those of others writing about him. This is a must for serious Lennon fans, and a good read for casual ones.
