Synopsis

In A History of American Movies: A Film-by-Film Look at the Art, Craft and Business of Cinema, Paul Monaco provides a survey of the narrative feature film from the 1920s to the present. The book focuses on 170 of the most highly regarded and recognized feature films selected by the Hollywood establishment: each Oscar winner for Best Picture, as well as those voted the greatest by members of the American Film Institute.  By focusing on a select group of films that represent the epitome of these collaborations, Monaco provides an essential history of one of the modern world's most complex and successful cultural institutions: Hollywood.

    Explores how nostalgia operates in contemporary US film and television.Bringing together prominent transatlantic film and media scholars, Was It Yesterday? explores the impact of nostalgia in twenty-first century American film and television. Cultural nostalgia, in both real and imagined forms, is dominant today, but what does the concentration on bringing back the past mean for an understanding of our cultural moment, and what are the consequences for viewers? This book questions the nature of this nostalgic phenomenon, the politics associated with it, and the significance of the different periods, in addition to offering counterarguments that see nostalgia as prevalent throughout film and television history. Considering such films and television shows as La La Land, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Stranger Things, and American Hustle, the contributors demonstrate how audiences have spent more time over the last decade living in various pasts.

    Discover the riveting life journey of Ash Jackson, an award-winning musician who turned her pain into powerful music. From her childhood dreams of fame, struggles with self-esteem, and experiences of bullying, to her pro wrestling career, battles with mental health, and remarkable courage in navigating her gender affirmation, her story is one of resilience, self-discovery, and redemption. Ash's music is more than an expression of art; it is a raw portrayal of her life, encapsulating themes of loneliness, love, and trauma. Yet, Ash's life is not solely confined to the realm of music. Her involvement in the anti-lockdown movement in Melbourne, and her subsequent defection and fallout are just some episodes of her multifaceted tale.
