VanBurenThese are movie reviews; and; yes; they are very fine ones--written in an easy voice that manages to maintain a casual tone while bouncing dynamically (and often hilariously) between the elevated diction of the most erudite poet and the goofy slang of the callowest teenager: they earned Hunter a Pulitzer. But thats not even whats so great about this book. His articulate explanations of a complex conservative point of view are among the most enlightening I have ever encountered. (I have been looking for years for a book that would help me understand what sort of value system would cause people I knew to be good and kindhearted to make political decisions so contrary to those that my instincts have always led me to choose (and I should have known that movies would serve as the only kinds of Rosetta Stones I could decipher).)0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Very happy with one exceptionBy S. FukasawaI am a huge fan of the last themed anthology of reviews by Stephen Hunter; Violent Screen; and this is more of the same. Agree or disagree; he is a terrific writer and I love reading reviews on a wider variety of films. My one complaint; the layout does not separate movies by title. Sure there is an index in the back; but Im not sure there are any more films reviewed in this book than Violent Screen and I thought that had the perfect arrangement which probably should have been replicated here. Or; at the very least put the movie title in bold at the lead of each review; this is the type of book I will pick up and skim from time to time; not read front to back.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Cinema popularoBy CustomerAs a syndicated film critic; I admire others like myself who write about movies out of a love of the cinema. Stephen Hunter is such a critic (as well as being a damn fine novelist) and this collection of his film writings was like buttered popcorn at a double feature; a pleasure. His insightful look at familiar films is a great way to spend a few hours when youve already seen everything playing at your local movie house. Four stars to Mr. Hunter.
