Romancing the Stone (Special Edition)
Director Robert Zemeckis (Forrest Gump, Contact) had a hit with this 1984 comedy that first teamed Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner, and Danny DeVito. Turner steals the show from the guys, however, playing a pushy romance novelist who gets stuck among some dangerous figures in Colombia and has only a rumpled guide (Michael Douglas) as an ally. The chemistry between the stars is infectious (the trio went on to make a sequel, Jewel of the Nile, and then an interesting, dark comedy directed by DeVito, The War of the Roses). Zemeckis–whose specialty at the time was creating set pieces of raucous action (as in his Back to the Future)–keeps things hopping with lots of kinetic material. –Tom Keogh

Customer Review: Recipe for a classic
In my opinion, there are certain modern films I’d call “classic” Romancing the Stone is one of these. With lines that are still quotable, “My minumum price for taking a stranded woman to a telephone is $500″, heroines that are still as beautiful, (Joan Wilder) heroes that are still as hopelessly over-confident, (Jack T Colton) and bad guys that are still crazily mis-directed (Ira and Ralph) over 20 years hasn’t taken away the appeal of this great simple adventure film. Great setting, humor, action, vehicles and ending make this movie worth re-watching again and again. If you like searching for treasure, fighting the bad guys, saving the girl and sailing into the horizon on your dream boat than this ones for you. Not too violent, sexual or profane…but maybe just enough this movie also has balance that you dont often see in movies now that go either too sexual, too violent, or have so much swearing you dont even care what happens in the movie. Worth every penny.
Customer Review: One of the best movies
Remembering watching this movie growing-up in the 80’s, I decided it needed to be a part of the household collection. A classic not to be missed, one of me and my moms favorite movies, this movie appeals to men and women alike.

Customer Review: A jewel on your bookshelf
Excellent photographic representation, with clear definition of each piece. Concise description throughout. Size of format was slightly disappointing. I can only say that should finances permit the hardback edition would be a true feast for the eyes!

Kitaj’s enigmatic and highly personal paintings engage with contemporary culture, his Jewish identity, and the horror of the Holocaust. His hero is C?zanne: “He is my greatest painter of all and the three last Bathers are my favorite art of all.” Kitaj recently embarked on a series of seven major new paintings inspired by C?zanne’s Bathers for an exhibition at the National Gallery, London. These new works are reproduced here for the first time, together with a series of black chalk drawings, directly inspired by C?zanne. The book includes a short essay about Kitaj’s work, which places the new paintings in the context of his earlier works and reveals his constant preoccupation with the Old Masters. There is also a new and previously unpublished interview with the artist.

The Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World of Salvador Dali (Adventures in Art)
Customer Review: Introducing youngsters to the creative insanity of Dali
It is hard to do justice to the imaginative insanity of Salvador Dali, but Angela Wenzel does a pretty good job for this volume in the Adventures in Art series. “The Mad, Mad, Mad World of Salvador Dali” introduces young readers to the Surrealist artist who knew how to put himself in the limelight in ways other than his paintings. One of things that Wenzel does is that she provides some of Dali’s own comments about his art, such as the 1937 painting “Sleep,” where a heavy face that looks like the film director Luis Bunuel is propped by my crutches and explaining the link between the writings of Sigmund Freud on dreams and Dali’s painting “The Burning Giraffe” (1936-37), where drawers are coming out of a tall woman’s body. Also included are the famous melting clocks of “The Persistence of Memory” (1931), the fried eggs of “The Sublime Moment” (1938), and the multiple pictures within “The Metamorphosis of Narcissus” (1937).

What I especially like about this volume is how it looks at the origins of some of these paintings. For “The Endless Enigma” (1938) we have the original sketches of the six different paintings that Dali hid in the finished painting, while a postcrd showing an African village became a face turned on its side in “Paranoid Faces” (1931). Then there was the “Portrait of Mrs. Isabel Styler-Tas” (1945), which Dali based on Piero della Francesca’s “Battista Sforza and Federico de Montefeltro” (circa 1465) by way of Giuseppe Arcimboldo’s “Winter,” a marvelous example of how the old becomes new in the hands of a talented artist.

Young readers will also be exposed to some prime examples of Dali’s imagination with regards to other types of art beyond paintings, such as his infamous “Lobster Telephone” (1936) and the “Mae West Lips Sofa” (1937), although I miss seeing the harp covered with silverware that he made for his friend Harpo Marx. There are also some choice photographs of “Dali the superstar” engaging in the art of self-promotion. Just showing young readers examples of Dali’s artwork is enough to get them interested in the artist, but Wenzel takes pain to explain how Dali created his masterpieces and what he was trying to do with some of these pieces. This is one of the more truly educational books I have seem about a great artist written for young readers.
