Books of the Month!
Hello Everyone. Here are my five go- to books for the month of April:

The Godfather by Mario Puzo- whoa this book was so good that I read it twice! It goes into much more detail than the movies. The minor characters are much more fleshed out and the main characters have much more depth and soul.

This book has visually stunning images and a lot of back info about movies. Although it was a quick read for me I wasn’t aware that there were a lot of film noir movies that was made in this tiny time frame.

Vaughn Bode is one of my favorite artist. He created this character in 1959 and didn’t do a story line about him until ten years later. Although he did not fully flesh out this into a full story his son Mark Bode continued this story after Vaughn’s death.

This is one of the best biographies I have ever read. Russ Meyer is one of favorite directors. There is not a whole lot of content in terms about him however this book gives us a better idea about his life and struggles as a movie director.

An extremely hilarious novel! When Bettina Balser thinks she going crazy she decides to keep her crazy musings in her diary. Everything seems to get to her and it doesn’t help that she lives in one of the most populated cities in the world: New York City.

Movie of the Day: Dark Night of the Scarecrow
Dark Night of the Scarecrow (1981) directed by Frank De Felitta- I was actually surprised that this was a made for TV movie (debuted on October 24, 1981) for CBS! It was surprisingly good.

A man is wrongly blame and killed for a crime that he didn’t commit. He then acts out his revenge from beyond the grave ….or does he?

I am pretty sure that this kind of made for TV movie wouldn’t be shown on a major network channel but in the early 80’s CBS took a chance at the horror genre and totally did not disappoint!

Movie of the day: Harvey (1950)
Harvey (1950) directed by Henry Kosner stars James Stewart as Elwood a man who is convinced that he has a six foot tall rabbit named Harvey as his best friend. As his family and friends think Elwood is crazy about his imaginary friend they are some signs to prove that his bunny friend is in fact real.
Harvey is one of my favorite movies due to the fact Elwood still believe that the impossible is in fact possible in a grown up world. Regardless of what people think of him as long as he is enjoying his life he doesn’t care what else anyone thinks.

Yes everyone views Elwood as a crackpot and his sister thinks that he is an embarrassment to the family but Elwood is content living his eccentric life which makes this movie really relate able to me. One of my favorite quotes from this movie is ” I always have a wonderful time, wherever I am, whomever I’m with.” After watching this movie I feel like we need to be a little more like Elwood and not let the world get to us.
