In the words of one reader, Brian W. Fairbanks "has a real talent for extracting the essence of a given subject and articulating it in a meaningful way."
In I Saw That Movie, Too, he extracts the essence from several hundred films, and articulates some of the most meaningful opinions on the cinema you'll ever read. In the foreword, he also offers a perceptive analysis of the way that movies, and the way that audiences "see" movies, has changed from the time he was a young movie buff "obsessed by that light in the darkness" to the era of the multiplex and the DVD.
Smart, insightful, always honest, but never (or rarely) pretentious, Fairbanks is a life-long film buff who backs up his opinions with a knowledge of both the art and artifice of cinema.
Also available in bargain priced 5.5" x 8.5" edition.

"Worthwhile"
After downloading the preview for this book and reading the foreword, I thought this would be worthwhile and I was right.
The author knows his stuff. In the foreword, he talks about the changes in the film industry with such knowledge that I figured his movie reviews would be just as knowledgable and perceptive. They are. They’re also superbly written and very witty. They’re also unpredictable. Fairbanks trashes some classics, and praises quite a few films that aren’t considered classics but in his view deserve such classification.
What sets these reviews apart from those of most critics is that the author has a real solid and extensive knowledge of film history, and puts things in perspective the way only an historian would.
