LF - I love the quote that you posted at the top of this post. That was one that really stuck out at me from this book as well. =)

I agree that it was an enjoyable read but like you felt that it only scratched the surface of things. Overall though it was nice to relive some movie moments and to read about how certain films that I enjoyed affected someone else.

Thanks to all that have shown interest in my book, you bloggers are amazing! Once you have read the book please help me in posting your review on Amazon. I do not have a big corporation behind me so the power of the people are the only ones who can help me spread the word!

Cheers and enjoy

The internet ate my response to many of you a couple of days ago, unfortunately, and I wasn't able to try to get back on and say hello (again) before now. That and the router gave out completely yesterday and so hubby and I made a quick trip to the electronics store last night to replace it.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to comment!

Jaimie - I just realized that I didn't even mention any of the films that touched the author's life. We'll just pretend I did that on purpose so as not to spoil anything. :-)

Florinda - I think you would like it too. Are you going to see Indy this weekend or will you wait for the mad rush to die down?

Nymeth - It seems only fair. ;-) I am reciprocating!

Melody - The author did a very good job of reminding the reader of that in his book. I think it's very true!

Heather - It was a fun book. It was so easy to relate to!

Trish - Oh neat! My husband has saved all of his movie stubs over the years. I'm not sure he has them from that far back.

Mrs. S - I tried to see if Redemption High had made it to the internet for a sample viewing, but I wasn't able to find an episode or even a little glimpse of it other than the credit information.

Bybee - I hope you two will give it a try!

Kathleen - Thanks so much! I need to update my links. I hope you will enjoy Admit One! I look forward to reading what you think of it.

Carrie K - Exactly! Haha

Dancin' Fool - Thank you! I hope you will enjoy it if you do read it!

Another inspirational review! Films are also a big influence for me, it's a medium I really enjoy. And Tootsie is one of the greatest films ever!!

I will be checking this out.

The movie version of Rereadings!. Well, in a single person narrative. This sounds like a perfect birthday gift for my oldest friend. After I read it to make sure it's "safe". ;)

I'm glad you enjoyed it so much, because I just found out I'll be getting it too! I've also just added you to my LibraryThing Bloggers page, so drop by to make sure your name and link are correct :)

I think my son and I would both enjoy this book.

Thanks for the review link :) this is a great boo isn't it - and I too was tempted to watch Titanic to try and see the man himself!

When I was at mom's a few weeks ago I picked up a treasure box with little things in it including a ton of movie stubs (I am a giant pack-rat!!). As I thumbed through them I could remember every experience...don't remember my first movie in the theatre, though. My mom remembers fondly of seeing Indiana Jones while I was kicking away in her tummy (maybe not fondly, but vividly). :) Sounds like a good read!

I really enjoyed the tales in this one... it definitely tickled my funny bone! Dark, humorous, and insightful.

This book sounds interesting. And I like the way you wrote in this paragraph: "Movies are not just a form of entertainment and escape (well, some arguably are). They can be influential, open lines of communication, make people think as well as feel compassion. Movies encourage the use of one's imagination." How true it is!

2008-05-21T12:51:00.000-07:00

"Not only is Admit One a book about the influence movies can have on our lives, even in the smallest of ways, but also about one man’s journey to making his dream come true."

I like the sound of this. Grrr, you keep adding to my wishlist :P

As a fellow movie junkie, married to yet another movie junkie, I think both my husband and I would really enjoy this book. I'll have to keep my eye out for it. Thanks for the great review, Wendy!

There are several films that were very influential to my life. This sounds like a very interesting book!
