review 1: An interesting read about the economics of Hollywood and the movies. Unfortunately, there were quite a few ways that would have made it much more informative, and I ended up with a lot of questions at the end that seemed to be pretty obvious ones that didn’t end up getting answered. The book comes from a series of articles the author had written for the Wall Street Journal, so it has the feel of a lot of shorter pieces, all put together to make a longer, but not really well flowing book. Bottom Line: It gave me a lot of interesting facts, but without a theoretical structure to hang them on I probably won't remember them, and I will still wonder how the economics of movies works. Oh well.
review 2: Interesting book with short episodes how the Hollywood emp... moreire is working. Author shares with readers complicated background of box office magic, recent development of digital frontier.I guess that book is completed out of newspaper or blog articles, so parts are not connected much and sometimes you are reading some bit of information over and over (I am eyeing you, this piece of info how hollywoods moguls now need to create a separate audience for each and every movie..)Book is light reading without much unwanted bias, contains up-to-date informations, for movie buffs must read. less
