FROM THE CRITICS
Library Journal
This profusely illustrated annual provides an overview of the history of cinema in newspaper style, with entries resembling newspaper articles. Now updated to include the most recent movies and last year's uninspiring Oscar ceremony, the book at first appears anything but easy to browse, but its adherence to a chronological order of events helps one navigate the overwhelming presence of photographs. Far from essential but an attractive addition to circulating collections. Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
