Book Presentation:
(Screen World). Movie fans eagerly await each new edition of Screen World , the definitive record of the cinema since 1949. Volume 62 provides an illustrated listing of every significant American and foreign film released in the United States in 2010, documented with more than 1,000 black-and-white photographs. This new edition of Screen World highlights the seminal, Oscar-winning look at our technologically obsessed age, The Social Network ; the Academy Award winner for Best Picture and crowd-pleasing hit The King's Speech , featuring Colin Firth in his Oscar-winning performance; and such other Best Picture nominees as Black Swan , for which Natalie Portman won Best Actress; the mind-blowing Inception , starring Leonardo Di Caprio; The Fighter , which brought Oscars to Christian Bale and Melissa Leo; and The Kids are All Right , with Annette Bening and Julianne Moore. Screen World 's outstanding features include a section of highlights and a comprehensive index with over 19,000 entries; full-page photographs of the four Academy Award-winning actors as well as photos of all acting nominees; a look at the year's most promising new screen personalities; complete film information: cast and characters, credits, production company, date released, rating, capsule plot summary, and running time; biographical entries: a priceless reference on nearly 2,500 living stars, including real name, school, and date and place of birth; and obituaries for 2010.

About the Author:
Barry Monush (Metuchen, NJ) is the author of the acclaimed Encyclopedia of Hollywood Film Actors: From the Silent Era to 1965; Everybody's Talkin': The Top Films of 1965-1969; Hollywood Musicals: Year by Year (revised third edition); and the Music on Film volume on West Side Story. He is a researcher at the Paley Center for Media in New York City.

Press Reviews:
Monush's annual survey consistently reminds readers that compelling films are produced outside Hollywood's glittery epicenter. Of course, he doesn't shun blockbusters and devotes significant coverage to Oscar-winning films like The Social Network and best-picture nominees like Black Swan. Indie and foreign films also enjoy the spotlight, each represented by a black-and-white still, plot synopsis, and listing of cast and crew. Additional segments profile promising new actors, top box office stars and films, and Academy Award notables, and provide obituaries. A worthwhile summary of 2010 productions for film studies collections. --Library Journal
