David Bordwell and Kristin Thompson are two of Americas preeminent film scholars. You would be hard pressed to find a serious student of the cinema who hasnt spent at least a few hours huddled with their seminal introduction to the fieldFilm Art, now in its ninth editionor a cable television junkie unaware that the Independent Film Channel sagely christened them the Critics of the Naughts. Since launching their blog Observations on Film Art in 2006, the two have added web virtuosos to their growing list of accolades, pitching unconventional longform pieces engaged with film artistry that have helped to redefine cinematic storytelling for a new age and audience.Minding Movies presents a selection from over three hundred essays on genre movies, art films, animation, and the business of Hollywood that have graced Bordwell and Thompsons blog. Informal pieces, conversational in tone but grounded in three decades of authoritative research, the essays gathered here range from indepth analyses of individual films such as Slumdog Millionaire and Inglourious Basterds to adjustments of Hollywood media claims and forays into cinematic humor. For Bordwell and Thompson, the most fruitful place to begin is how movies are made, how they work, and how they work on us. Written for film lovers, these essayson topics ranging from Borat to blockbusters and back againwill delight current fans and gain new enthusiasts.Serious but not solemn, vibrantly informative without condescension, and above all illuminating reading, Minding Movies offers ideas sure to set film lovers thinkingand keep them returning to the silver screen.
