Always daring Hollywood censors' limits on content, Billy Wilder directed greats such as Marilyn Monroe, Jack Lemmon, Ginger Rogers, Marlene Dietrich, Kirk Douglas, Audrey Hepburn, and Gary Cooper. "Billy Wilder: Interviews" follows the filmmaking career of one of Hollywood's most honored and successful writer-directors and spans over fifty years. Wilder, born in 1906, fled from Nazi Germany and established himself in America. Starting with a celebrated 1944 "Life" magazine profile, the book traces his progress from his Oscar-winning heyday of the 1940s to the 1990s, in which he is still witty, caustic, and defiant. Often playful and sometimes outrageous, but just as often very serious, Wilder details his rise as a Berlin cub reporter to a fledgling screenwriter in Hollywood's "Golden Age." He tells the stories behind his brilliant direction of such classics as "Double Indemnity" (1944), "The Lost Weekend" (1945), "Sunset Boulevard" (1950), "Stalag 17" (1953), "Sabrina" (1954), "The Seven-Year Itch" (1955), "Some Like It Hot" (1959), and "The Apartment" (1960), among others. A dazzling raconteur, Wilder gives the scoop on the royalty of cinema, from the maddening magic of Monroe to the uncanny empathy of frequent alter ego Lemmon. Though his natural tendency is to spin marvelous anecdotes on the subject of show business, Wilder also delivers penetrating and instructive observations on his craft. On screen, his special blend of cynicism and romanticism was always expressed in a style that avoided showiness. "Billy Wilder: Interviews" includes in-depth profiles, spirited Q&A's, and on-the-set glimpses of the director at work. Taken together, the interviews form an unofficial memoir of a sophisticated artist once described by a colleague as the most unusual and amusing man in Hollywood. Robert Horton is the film critic for "The Herald" in Everett, Washington. His work has been published in "Film Comment," "New York Newsday," "American Film," and the "Seattle Weekly."
James Whale's Frankenstein (1931) spawned a phenomenon that has been rooted in world culture for decades. This cinematic Prometheus has generated countless sequels, remakes, rip-offs, and parodies in every media, and this granddaddy of cult movies constantly renews its followers in each generation. Along with an in-depth critical reading of the original 1931 film, this book tracks Frankenstein the monster's heavy cultural tread from Mary Shelley's source novel to today's Internet chat rooms.
Robert Horton was born in London in 1956. One of seven children, Robert became quite introverted, especially after the death of his father in 1967. Finding it difficult to communicate, Robert turned his hand to writing poetry as a means of expression and would write poetry when faced with difficult emotions. Roberts writing has become more prolific over the last five years and is now able to write on a variety of subjects in different styles. This book is a snippet of his works, tackling love, insanity, poverty and war. I hope you agree his words are insightful yet poetic. He often says "I am blessed with the desire to be a poet...yet will never truly be"
Few have failed to notice the increasing accommodation of evangelicalism to worldly culture. Unless this trend is corrected, evangelicalism will soon lose the distinctives that have catapulted it to unparalleled success in the religious marketplace. This bold work by Robert Gundry finds a powerful and much-needed antidote to worldliness in John's Gospel. Built on a unique combination of biblical exegesis, sociological analysis, and contemporary application, the book traces the influence of Word-Christology throughout the Gospel of John, unpacking its implications for North American evangelicalism. Sure to generate discussion-even controversy-are Gundry's adoption of a sectarian interpretation of John and his evaluation of contemporary North American evangelicalism. Seeing the evangelical tradition as having moved far down the road from sect to mainline church, he argues that it now needs a strong dose of John's logocentric sectarianism to avoid losing the edge that has made it successful.
This commentary demonstrates Gundry's conviction that Matthew relied on the Gospel of Mark and the document "Q." Furthemore, Gundry argues for a combination of historical data and theological embellishments in passages such as those that present the birth of Jesus the Sermon on the Mount, and Peter's walking on the water.
