Thirty-Four Ways New Moon the Movie Is Better Than New Moon the Book

Last year, Twilight proved to zillions of shrieking Twi-hards that no matter how passionately you love a florid, overwritten, hilarious book, the movie can be even better . How will this year's installment, New Moon , fare with a new director (the non-vagina-having Chris Weitz) and a new love interest (Jacob Black, played by Taylor Lautner)? Good news! Once again, Hollywood magic has delivered a version...

Filed under: Restaurants Note: There are no restaurants on the town seal. Photo: ewen and donabel, Flickr . So much for a menu of blood oranges and garlic: The owners of a planned " Twilight "-themed eatery in Forks, Wash., say they're studiously avoiding vampire cuisine.

Reds, Germans, and Hollywood Lust

It happens too often: a writer dies, and I’m reminded by the obituaries of books I meant to read but never did. Otto Friedrich’s City of Nets was a perfect example; I read all the reviews when that work came out in 1986, but it wasn’t until after Friedrich’s death in 1995 that I fell in love with his history of Hollywood in the 1940s. The part that interested me most were the...

Forgotten Books: THE GIRL ON THE BEST SELLER LIST -- Vin Packer

I've made no secret of my fondness for Grace Metalious's Peyton Place , and I've also mentioned Vin Packer's The Girl on the Best Seller List. Packer might be best-known for her lesbian-themed fiction for Gold Medal, but she wrote a number of quality crime novels for the line. Sometimes the novels might be based on actual cases ( The Evil Friendship ). In this case, it's the author imagining what might...

The Ambergris Week - Part 3: Finch

Behold the birth (and the death) of sporepunk . If Jeff VanderMeer´s FINCH could be summated in but one word (it can´t, mind you, but let´s pretend, just for argument´s sake), it could be this one: sporepunk . Naturally, the suffix punk is more than overrated, and the story doesn´t have anything to do with old cyberpunk or steampunk stories. It is, however, a good, old-fashioned...

Wolf's Bane

The Advocate looks at the question of whether author Stephenie Meyer's status as a devout Mormon means supporting her books and movies is indirectly supporting anti-gay initiatives like Proposition 8. Maybe a stretch since she isn't out-spoken (or even -spoken!)...

Way Gone: “The Missing Person”

Updating the private investigator film with September 11 shadings is not a terribly novel idea, but writer/director Noah Buschel isn’t an idea man. He likes feelings, atmosphere, actors, and emotion, and he originally said he was inspired to make The Missing Person because he was reading Raymond Chandler around the time of the attacks—but then he told indieWIRE that he was being slightly...

For the love of short stories

by Rachel In an interview in today’s Wall Street Journal , Alice Munro talks about why she’s attracted to writing short fiction. “I used to write novels and I didn’t get anywhere,” she says. She then goes on to say that she’s now writing “some halfway in between sort of thing.” Well, I love those halfway in between sort of things Munro writes. I’ve...

Could new talent in the book industry erase some of its gloom and doom?

These same books garner high sales figures, appearance in the New York best...
