    The Go-Go’s were the first all-female rock group in history to write their own songs, play their own instruments, and reach the top of the Billboard charts with their #1 album, Beauty and the Beat. Made In Hollywood is drummer Gina Schock’s personal account of the band, which includes a treasure trove of photographs and memorabilia collected over the course of her 40-year career.The Go-Go’s debut album, Beauty and the Beat, rose to the top of the charts in 1981 and their hit songs "We Got the Beat", "Our Lips Are Sealed", “Vacation”, and "Head Over Heels" (to name a few) served as a soundtrack to our lives in the ‘80s.Now, after the release of their Critics Choice Award-winning Showtime documentary, and in anticipation of their forthcoming induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and their 2021 West Coast shows, Gina takes fans behind the scenes for a rare look at her personal images documenting the band's wild journey to the heights of fame and stardom. Featuring posters, photographs, Polaroids, and other memorabilia from her archives, Made In Hollywood also includes stories from each member of the Go-Go’s, along with other cultural luminaries like Kate Pierson, Jodie Foster, Dave Stewart, Martha Quinn, and Paul Reubens.With a style as bold and distinctive as any Go-Go’s album, Made In Hollywood is the perfect tribute to one of the world's most iconic groups.

    My Chemical Romance emerged from New Jersey in the aftermath of the 9/11 atrocity to become the standard bearers for a new fusion of punk, glam and emo. After steadily building a committed and enthusiastic following on the back of their first two albums, 'I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love' (2002) and 'Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge' (2004), MCR achieved global prominence in 2006 with the release of their platinum selling album 'Welcome To The Black Parade'. Followed by Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys (2010). Until their disbandment in 2013, MCR toured extensively throughout the world, adding to their widespread fan base with incendiary, sold-out live shows that established the quintet as the emerging force in alternative rock. 'This Band Will Save Your Life' tells the definitive story of the groundbreaking band; examining their influences and ethos and charting their rise from obscurity to the apex of the post millennial rock pantheon.

    Ben Hecht - Fighting Words...

    A vibrant portrait of one of the most accomplished and prolific American screenwriters, by an award-winning biographer and essayist.He was, according to Pauline Kael, "the greatest American screenwriter." Jean-Luc Godard called him "a genius" who "invented eighty percent of what is used in Hollywood movies today." Besides tossing off dozens of now-classic scripts — including Scarface, Twentieth Century, and Notorious — Ben Hecht was known in his day as ace reporter, celebrated playwright, taboo-busting novelist, and the most quick-witted of provocateurs. During World War II, he also emerged as an outspoken crusader for the imperiled Jews of Europe, and later he became a fierce propagandist for pre-1948 Palestine's Jewish terrorist underground. Whatever the outrage he stirred, this self-declared "child of the century" came to embody much that defined America — especially Jewish America — in his time.Hecht's fame has dimmed with the decades, but Adina Hoffman's vivid portrait brings this charismatic and contradictory figure back to life. Hecht was a renaissance man of dazzling sorts, and Hoffman — critically acclaimed biographer, former film critic, and eloquent commentator on Middle Eastern culture and politics — is uniquely suited to capture him in all his modes.
