The Art of Watching FIlms -Book Review

Review by Michaela Delk, 2010-03-05

This was an amazing book, esp. because I was taking a film and literature class. It's readable; there aren't any big words that you can't understand just to make the text seem scholarly. The quality of the shipping was good. I got it the second week of class which was a good thing because usually when I order a book off of here I get it two weeks later and by that time I'd be three weeks behind in an 8 week course. All in all, it was a good experience.

Homework assignment

Review by Marvin S. Mcdonald Jr., 2009-11-02

The tutorial CD-Rom did not come with this book. It was needed for part of my homework assignments so I was not able to complete some of them without it.
