Book Details

Let’s go to the movies!

In this book, the author invites you to join him in “peeling the orange” and sinking our teeth into the delicious fruit that is film, and while we’re savoring the taste, appreciate it at an even deeper level. Why are movies so popular? Why do we love them so much? Like a favorite fruit, they feed a craving we have that we can’t fully describe. This book investigates that mystery, and through a deeper understanding of the role movies play in our lives, we might learn a little about ourselves. So come join the adventure, and let’s see what untold stories lie ahead. Roll ‘em!
