My all-time favorite film director in lively, penetrating, often very funny conversations with Cameron Crowe. What's not to love? ]]> <![CDATA[Chris added 'The Conversations: Walter Murch and the Art of Editing Film']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/62817270 to: The Conversations: Walter Murch and the Art of Editing Film (Paperback) by Michael Ondaatje
A fantastic book-length interview that finds the pulse beneath the art of film and sound editing. I reread it every time I'm editing a project, and Walter Murch always gives me fresh insights and inspiration. ]]> <![CDATA[Chris added 'In the Blink of an Eye']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/62817186 In the Blink of an Eye (Paperback) by Walter Murch

I really wish I liked this book more. The first 100 or so pages whizzed by thanks to a great hook. But the longer it went on, the thinner the story seemed, the more the characters felt like caricatures, and the less likely every single plot development became, until finally my suspension of disbelief hit eject.

Some of the dialogue is clever, but there's a razor-thin line between clever and cloying, and too often I found Green's writing on the wrong side of it. I'd love to hand those first 100 pages back to John Green and say, "Good start, now try again." ]]> <![CDATA[Chris added 'Portland Noir']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/62815413 to: Portland Noir (Akashic Noir) by Kevin Sampsell
I guess I'm a little biased, but whatever. I really liked the other stories, especially Gigi Little's. ]]> <![CDATA[Chris added 'The Book of Three']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/62815073 The Book of Three (Chronicles of Prydain, Book 1) by Lloyd Alexander
