Back cover description:
What’s On? … is the
timeless question we have all asked ourselves almost every day of our lives, as
we reach for the remote control and settle in front of the TV screen.
Jack Kost, a life-long movie buff and coffee addict, offers his choice of favorite movie and television masterpieces.
Providing possible
answers to the question of What’s On? with over 1,900 titles, from golden
oldies and timeless classics, to more recent releases, all meticulously logged
and summarized.
An invaluable and
collectable go-to source for discovering new favorites and revisiting old ones.
Perfect for film
enthusiasts and casual viewers alike, this guide will spark conversations,
bring back memories, and help you navigate the ever-evolving world of screen
entertainment.
A wealth of
recommendations and insights from a passionate movie buff to enrich your
viewing experience, complete with personal reminiscences and nostalgic
reflections, told with a world-wise critical eye, sardonic dry wit, a healthy
dose of cynicism, biting observations, and a well-founded rant here and there.
Just don’t challenge or
get him started on his personal favorites, like The Shining, Point
Blank, Jaws, The Exorcist, The Duellists, Romeo Is
Bleeding, or The Ninth Configuration. His opinions on these and
other iconic titles are as intense and unyielding as the movies themselves.
All compiled by an
author who not only watched the movies, but also read the books on which they
were based, did his research, drank a lot of coffee in the process, and
advocates for the importance and value of reading.
A glimpse into the
over-caffeinated mind of a writer with a passion for great stories.
What’s On? is a
celebration of the intersection between page and screen, and a reminder that
great on-screen adaptations often start with a great book and a strong cup of
coffee.
Kick back, grab your
coffee, and enjoy the show!
As author Jack Kost
says:
“Happy viewing … and do yourself a favor … read
the books.”
