Avengers Assemble!: Critical Perspectives on the Marvel Cinematic Universe
by Terence McSweeneyWe are living in the age of the superhero and we cannot deny it. <P><P>Avengers Assemble! is a vibrant and theoretically informed interrogation of one of the defining and most financially successful film franchises of the new millennium. In the first single-authored monograph on the topic of the Marvel cinematic universe, Terence McSweeney asks, "Why has the superhero genre reemerged so emphatically in recent years?" In an age where people have stopped going to the cinema as frequently as they used to, they returned to it in droves for the superhero film. What is it about these films that has resonated with audiences all around the globe? Are they just disposable pop culture artifacts or might they have something interesting to say about the fears and anxieties of the world we live in today? <P><P>Beginning with Iron Man in 2008, this study provocatively explores both the cinematic and the televisual branches of the series across ten dynamic and original chapters from a diverse range of critical perspectives which analyse their status as an embodiment of the changing industrial practices of the blockbuster film and their symbolic potency as affective cultural artifacts that are profoundly immersed in the turbulent political climate of their era.

The Avengers Dossier
by Paul Cornell Martin Day Keith ToppingMore than any other series, THE AVENGERS typified the Swinging Sixties - beginning in 1961 with Patrick Macnee starring with Ian Hendry in a grainy, realistic spy thriller, and ending in 1969 with Macnee and the glamorous Linda Thorson blasting off into space in a surreal episode appropriately entitled 'Bizarre'. Meanwhile we had seen the memorable Honor Blackman and Diana Rigg in roles unusually progressive for British television.THE NEW AVENGERS in the mid-seventies reflected changing times but retained the essence of the show - as Macnee returned to play alongside another strong, independent heroine in the form of Joanna Lumley's Purdey. And then there was the film...THE AVENGERS DOSSIER is a uniquely comprehensive yet humorous survey of all the show's incarnations. As well as a remarkably detailed episode guide to both series - even covering the kinkiness factor and champagne count in both - this volume gives behind the scenes insights and revelations about every aspect of the programme. The film and its production are examined, and critical essays look at the history behind the cult.

The Avocado Drive Zoo: At Home with My Family and the Creatures We've Loved
by Earl HamnerThe Avocado Drive Zoo is a warm and personal, yet humorous, recounting of how Earl Hamner, his wife, Jane, and their two children have lived with and loved the animals in their lives. From the beginning, Hamner and his wife shared an uncommon love and respect for animals, and as their family grew, so did the number of their pets. By the time they moved to Hollywood and settled into a lovely residence on Avocado Drive, their home was much like a "zoo." Among the colorful cast of animals who have lived with the Harmers have been Jane's possessive cocker spaniel pup, Clementine, who bit Earl as he proposed marriage; twelve box turtles from Virginia; bantam hens and roosters and a baby chick named 'Mackie; and Talmadge the mouse whose gluttony ended an unusual relationship with the family. And then there was Gus the horny dog whose amorous inclinations brought on his early demise; Willie the family rat; Yarrow the white labrador; a family of coyotes; Surprise the cat who nearly decimated their family of pet rats; Raymond the rabbit and George the guinea pig who were soul and crate mates; the alligator who lived in their bathtub; and a host of other unnamed pets and critters. The Avocado Drive Zoo is filled with the warmth, love, and respect the Hammers have for the animals they have known. By the last page of this wonderful, charming book it is obvious that not only have animals enriched the Hammers' lives, but they are a resource for all families, providing parents and children with opportunities to grow in love, understanding, and respect for one another--and for the creatures who share our world.

Awake in the Dark: Second Edition
by Roger Ebert David BordwellFor nearly half a century, Roger Ebert’s wide knowledge, keen judgment, prodigious energy, and sharp sense of humor made him America’s most renowned and beloved film critic. From Ebert’s Pulitzer Prize to his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, from his astonishing output of daily reviews to his pioneering work on television with Gene Siskel, his was a career in cinema criticism without peer. Arriving fifty years after Ebert published his first film review in 1967, this second edition of Awake in the Dark collects Ebert’s essential writings into a single, irresistible volume. Featuring new Top Ten Lists and reviews of the years’ finest films through 2012, this edition allows both fans and film buffs to bask in the best of an extraordinary lifetime’s work. Including reviews from The Godfather to GoodFellas and interviews with everyone from Martin Scorsese to Meryl Streep, as well as showcasing some of Ebert’s most admired essays—among them a moving appreciation of John Cassavetes and a loving tribute to the virtues of black-and-white films—Ebert’s Awake in the Dark is a treasure trove not just for fans of this era-defining critic, but for anyone desiring a compulsively readable chronicle of the silver screen. Stretching from the dramatic rise of rebel Hollywood and the heyday of the auteur to the triumph of blockbuster films such as Star Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark, to the indie revolution that is still with us today, Awake in the Dark reveals a writer whose exceptional intelligence and daily bursts of insight and enthusiasm helped shape the way we think about the movies. But more than this, Awake in the Dark is a celebration of Ebert’s inimitable voice—a voice still cherished and missed.
