Laura Cottingham celebrates Fassbinder’s achievement, placing Fear Eats the Soul in relation to his extraordinary prolific career in theatre, film and television. Her analysis pulls back the thin curtain that separated his work from his tumultuous life. [Taken from back cover].Notes: includes film creditsISBN: 1844570711

Reefer Movie Madness : the ultimate stoner film guide / by Shirley Halperin and Steve Bloom New York: Abrams Image, 2010.
Call No: 748.88 HALAuthor: Bloom, Steve ; Halperin, Shirley Source: USPlace: New YorkPublisher: Abrams ImagePubDate: 2010PhysDes: 336 pages, illustrations ; 23 cmSubject: DRUGS AND THE CINEMA ; DRUGS IN FILMS ; CRITICISM Summary: "Reefer Movie Madness is the perfect follow-up to Halperin and Bloom’s big-selling Pot Culture. It’s the most extensive guide ever to movies for the stoner audience, a real market that has proven its mass appeal with the successful Harold and Kumar franchise and the Judd Apatow library (Pineapple Express, Superbad).
In addition to entries on more than 420 films, there are contributions from well known actors, movie directors, musicians, and celebrities, including Jason Mraz, comedian Andy Milonakis, Snoop Dogg, Doug Benson, and Cheech & Chong. Reefer Movie Madness covers it all, from pot-fueled comedies and druggy dramas to sci-fi flicks and 1960s artifacts to documentaries, musicals, and blockbusters. With its colorful, easy-to-follow format and lots of eye-grabbing photos, sidebars (“Real Pot or Not? An On-Set Exposé”), lists (“DIY Inventions by Clever Movie Stoners”), and Q&As, Reefer Movie Madness is the guidebook that bong-hitting movie buffs have been longing for."

Teen Dreams : reading teen film from Heathers to Veronica Mars / Roz Kaveney London ; New York: I.B. Tauris, copyright 2006.

She examines the metamorphosis of Jane Austen's novel Emma into the Beverly Hills comedy Clueless and the way the American Pie trilogy has subverted the gross-out sex comedy into a lesson in sexual manners. She looks at the link between these films and some of the most innovative teen television of the last two decades, including Popular, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the teen detective show Veronica Mars. In the process, she demonstrates how teen films and tv series deal with the tragic and comic undersides of the American dream."--BOOK JACKET.Notes: Includes indexes.ISBN: 9781845111847Contents: Teen dreams: the critic at the prom -- John Hughes and the creation of a genre -- The friends who are bad for you: Heathers -- The heirs of Heather: Cordelia, Nicole and other mean girls -- The canon as teen dream: Clueless and others -- The trouble with boys -- On being good at things: female competence and sexuality -- Watching the teen detective: Veronica Mars.
