Movies That Mattered More Reviews from a Transformative Decade


Free Download Movies That Mattered: More Reviews from a Transformative Decade By Dave Kehr
2017 | 272 Pages | ISBN: 022649571X | PDF | 1 MB
Dave Kehr’s writing about film has garnered high praise from both readers and fellow critics. Among his admirers are some of his most influential contemporaries. Roger Ebert called Kehr "one of the most gifted film critics in America." James Naremore thought he was "one of the best writers on film the country as a whole has ever produced." But aside from remarkably detailed but brief capsule reviews and top-ten lists, you won’t find much of Kehr’s work on the Internet, and many of the longer and more nuanced essays for which he is best known have not yet been published in book form. With When Movies Mattered, readers welcomed the first collection of Kehr’s criticism, written during his time at the Chicago Reader. Movies That Mattered is its sequel, with fifty more reviews and essays drawn from the archives of both the Chicago Reader and Chicago magazine from 1974 to 1986. As with When Movies Mattered, the majority of the reviews offer in-depth analyses of individual films that are among Kehr’s favorites, from a thoughtful discussion of the sobering Holocaust documentary Shoah to an irresistible celebration of the raucous comedy Used Cars. But fans of Kehr’s work will be just as taken by his dissections of critically acclaimed films he found disappointing, including The Shining, Apocalypse Now, and Raiders of the Lost Ark. Whether you’re a long-time reader or just discovering Dave Kehr, the insights in Movies That Mattered will enhance your appreciation of the movies you already love-and may even make you think twice about one or two you hated.

Thinking Film Philosophy at the Movies


Free Download Thinking Film: Philosophy at the Movies edited by Richard Kearney, Murray Littlejohn
English | July 27, 2023 | ISBN: 135011345X, 1350113468 | True EPUB/PDF | 420 pages | 2.7/33.25 MB
Hailed as one of America’s original art forms, film has the distinctive character of crossing high and low art. But film has done more than this. According to American philosopher Stanley Cavell, film was also a place where America in the 1930s and 1940s did its thinking, a tradition that was taken up and enriched throughout world cinema. Can film indeed think? That is, can film do the work of philosophy? Following Cavell’s lead to think along the tear of the analytic-continental traditions, this book draws from both sides of the philosophical divide to reflect on this question.

Free Download Murder and the Movies (Audiobook)
English | August 05, 2020 | ASIN: B08DG8SSSH | M4B@128 kbps | 6h 5m | 326 MB
Author: David Thomson | Narrator: Chris MacDonnell
How many acts of murder have each of us followed on a screen? What does that say about us? Do we remain law-abiding citizens who wouldn’t hurt a fly?
Film historian David Thomson, known for wit and subversiveness, leads us into this very delicate subject. While unpacking classics such as Seven, Kind Hearts and Coronets, Strangers on a Train, The Conformist, The Godfather, and The Shining, he offers a disconcerting sense of how the form of movies makes us accomplices in this sinister narrative process.
