Product Description
LIV TYLER

A new study of the films of Hollywood star Liv Tyler, charting all of her film career up to the present - including Armageddon (1998), Cookie's Fortune (1999), One Night at McCool's (2001) and the Lord of the Rings movies (2001-03).

This is the only in-depth exploration of Liv Tyler's films available anywhere.

REVIEW BY DOUGLAS J. ALLEN (Lecturer in Social Sciences, Motherwell College, Scotland)

Thomas Christie's pioneering account of Liv Tyler's film career to date is a truly impressive product, combining a wide-ranging knowledge of the film world with a strong, readable narrative style. His meticulous approach has resulted in a work that is factually informative, while his judgements and opinions are scrupulously fair and even-handed. For anyone looking for an authoritative account of Liv Tyler's film career, drawn from an impressively wide-ranging selection of international sources, moving easily between the worlds of high art and popular culture, this volume can be thoroughly recommended.

FROM THE INTRODUCTION

It seems difficult today to imagine a time when the name Liv Tyler (1977-) could be met with a lack of recognition. Yet scarcely a decade ago, it would have been difficult for anyone to have anticipated the sheer scale of her meteoric rise to worldwide fame in the film world. As we will see over the course of this book, Liv Tyler's acting career has been remarkably diverse, encompassing a wide variety of different genres - prominent roles in seventeen films throughout the course of just over ten years. Thanks to her prolific and meticulously crafted body of work, she has clearly illustrated an increasingly versatile range of acting skills through her acute emotional observation and constant eagerness to experiment.

Her good humour, decisively down-to-earth attitude and apparent willingness never to take herself too seriously have made her not only one of the most popular young actresses in America, but arguably one of the most universally well-liked public figures of her generation. Yet in parallel to her oft-attributed reputation as one of the most straight-thinking and unpretentious performers working in the film industry today, it is significant to note that Liv Tyler has constantly expressed a desire in press interviews to keep her personal life private and as separate as possible from her well-publicised appearances in films.

Product Description
For nearly a decade, through his enigmatic and compelling Polaroids, Jeremy Kost has been telling the stories of New York nights from within its hottest party spots.

In 2002, while staying with friends in Chelsea, Kost borrowed the camera of one of his hosts and took it to The Cock. Ever since that fateful night, year after year, Kost has been the sole photographer to capture a complete millennial portrait of New York’s famed drag queens, go-go boys, transsexuals, and wild-partying celebrities.

An exhilarating trip through underground New York, It’s Always Darkest Before Dawn puts you on the guest list for a world of vivacious creativity, performance, costume, and evidence (if you needed it) that a certain kind of fabulous madness ain’t dead yet, and was around way before Lady Gaga!

Celebration, angst, drunken revelry, joy, exhaustion, vulnerability, honesty, and pomp and circumstance are all captured in the uncompromising immediacy of Kost’s Polaroids of personalities such as Amanda Lepore, Sophia Lamar, and oddly enough even former President Bill Clinton, Pamela Andersen, Paris Hilton, and many more.

It’s Always Darkest Before Dawn is Kost’s first monograph and collects the best, most outstanding images of New York’s club culture created in the new millennium. ... Read more

Best movie ever!
The Lord of the Rings movies have the perfect combination of emotional acting, fantastical scenery, and thrilling plot twists. Peter Jackson and his team did a superb job and deserved every single Oscar they got. The movies are a wonderful tribute to the books. Fortunately, they've been made so well that they can be enjoyed by all, from the Tolkien aficionado to kids who haven't yet read the books.

Fellowship of the Rings has always been my favorite of the movies. I love how it dwells in the history of Middle Earth. The color filters used to set the moods are techniques still underutilized by cinema.

Why the Four DVD Set?
The 4 DVD set is worth the effort for those who want to see what might have been, as opposed to what was actually presented.Those who do not wish to be overloaded (those who want 3 hours of entertainment) would be advised to get the original.

As such, I prefer the original presentation as a movie.This version is more in line with the book; not a bad thing, but definitely a problem if you know the books reasonably well.You do get a strong sense of what will be dropped in the next two movies by what is changed/added here.

The beginning is much more laid back.There is much more added to Lothlorien, not necessarily for the best, but the Gimli/Legolas relationship is set up much better than the original.

The appendices are quite detailed and reasonably put together. Theoriginal prologue is much weaker and (thank heavens) it was not used.

The soundtrack to the movie is not separated from the dialogue (unfortunately).The actors' comments can be heard separately (John Rhys-Davies is very good indeed).

The Tolkien biography is improved over what I have seen elsewhere.

The pictureboards are acceptable and there are a lot of them.

No Awe or Fear
i am one of the few who was disapointed with "The Fellowship of the Ring".It was not a bad movie, in fact, I almost hate to criticize; the special effects were great, the characters were well cast (I think Wood has done a great job with the character "Frodo"), and the movie was faithful to the book. The movie however did not fullfill my expectations. Maybe it's just that my own imagination was richer, but I expected more of the movie.It lacked the awe which I felt while reading the book.The "dark" aspect of Mordor did not create fear, Gandolph's imprisonment did not evoke feelings of futility, and the elf's archery did not fill one with awe. Maybe if I hadn't read the book first, the movie might have been more impressive.I'd rent before I'd buy, just so that I knew whether I really wanted it or not. I myself do not have the desire to see the movie again.

A Heretic's Lament
I regret that I seem to disagree with most of the professional reviews and ordinary mortals on this film. I agree that this movie is faithful to Tolkein's book, that Elijah Wood and Ian McKellan are well cast as Frodo and Gandalf respectively as are most of the other players and, yes, the effects & cinematic vistas are epic with the bad guys being really frightening.

Unfortunately despite all these good ingredients we still ended up as a movie that I found rather flat. Perhaps it was the need to faithfully cram the whole book into 2+ hours or the sheer effort of working with the 9 player ensemble constituting the "Fellowship of the Ring". Regardless, my experience was that while the scenery and effects are gorgeous, I ended up lying on my couch waiting for everybody to hit their mark and say their line. Somehow I found the drama inherent in the book lacking. Also, other than Frodo and Gandalf, none of the character relationships really seemed to develop. Especially disappointing is the apparent loss of all but the most superficial treatment of the development and evolution of the relationship between Gimli the Dwarf and Legolas the Elf.

For me the best part of the film was a comic throwaway line by Gimli during the escape from the mines of Moria that I certainly don't remember as part of the Tokien text. It was a welcome relief to the otherwise unyielding seriousness of the film. And, more to this note, the worst parts of the film for me were when Pipin and Merry were on screen. There characters struck me as rather more sophomoric and stupid rather than the boisterous and charmingly naive young hobbits I expected. The needed comic relief I expected of these two never materialized. Worse, it seemed that badly needed light moments were replaced by clumsy displays of oafishness and stupidity.

I'm hoping that "The Two Towers" will be a better effort as we can now leave character development behind us with the gaggle of characters that was the "fellowship of the ring". I own the DVD of LOTR and I console myself in the fact that I received 7 free movie rentals from the store from which I purchased it. Otherwise I would have regretted my purchase even more.

Totally satisfied!
There is nothing to add to all the positive critics you can read below.The movie itself is great, and the extras on the second CDs are a real treat! :)

The only thing bad about all this is how cruelly they taunt us with the extended version to be released in November! ... Read more
