Book Description
Lady Scarface When eight year old Tiana Brantz witnessed the cold blooded murder of her loving parents right before her eyes, she became Lady Scarface.....though at the time she didn't know it. The same bullets that sent her parents to heaven also left a scar on her beautiful face and in her broken heart. Designated as a ward of the state, Tiana, with the help of her "brother" Shabazz, manages to survive 10 years in the Baychester Diagnostic group home for adolescents. Once she is released from Baychester, Tiana finds herself in a whole new world with decisions to make. And decisions she does indeed make. On the surface, Tiana is the picture of poise and grace, rising to the top of the judicial scene as one of Atlanta's best Federal defense attorneys. However, underneath that elegant exterior is a murderous spirit, fueled by a thirst for blood and violence. Ms Brantz is definitely destined for greatness.....but so is Lady Scarface. Tiana takes no prisoners and shows no mercy, in the courtroom or on the streets of New York, where her brother oversees her empire. She is rich, beautiful, loyal and intelligent and along with Shabazz sets out to make a killing, literally, rolling over anybody that gets in her way. Most women wouldn't dream of getting their nails dirty. Most women would back down from confrontation. Most women would avoid death at any cost. But most women are not Tiana Brantz. Tiana Brantz is Lady Scarface! Lady Scarface 2 The streets of Atlanta had no idea what hit them...until it was too late. Lady Scarface thought everything was going great...until she was arrested for murder. Tiana brings her crew to Atlanta and the streets will never be the same again. By the time the streets realize what has happened, it is too late. The New Yorkers encounter some resistance along the way, but it's nothing that they can't handle. They do what they do when it comes to obstacles...remove them. Life is good for Lady Scarface, until she is arrested...for murder. On the streets, guns and death have solved all of her problems in the past, but her Desert Eagles wont help her in the Atlanta City Detention Center, nor will they help her in the courtroom, where she is fighting for her life.

Book Description
“Don’t get high on your own supply.” Brian de Palma’s brash, bloody version of Scarface was trashed by critics when it came out twenty-five years ago and didn’t do well at the box office, but has become a spectacular fan favorite and enduring pop culture classic since. “Never underestimate the greed of the other guy.” What makes millions of people obsess over this movie? Why has Al Pacino’s Tony Montana become the drug kingpin whose pugnacity and philosophy are revered in boardrooms and bedrooms across America? Who were the people that made the movie, influencing hip-hop style and swagger to this day? “The world is yours.” Scarface Nation is Ken Tucker’s homage to all things Scarface—from the stars that acted in it to the influence it’s had on all of us, from facts, figures and stories about the making of the movie to a witty and comprehensive look at Scarface’s traces in today’s pop and political culture. “Say hello to my li'l fren!” You know you love the line. You know you’ve seen the movie more than once. Now dive into the ultimate book of Scarface—mounded as high as the pile of cocaine on Tony’s desk with delicious details and stimulating observations. “You know what capitalism is? F--- you!”

Book Description
Everyone knows Mrs Danvers as a byword for menace in Hitchcock's Rebecca and as a poster girl for lesbians in the movies. But only dedicated fans know her brilliant creator. This book tells Judith Anderson's life story for the first time. It recovers her career as one of the great stars of stage and television and an important character actress in film. Born in Adelaide, Australia, in 1897, brought up by a determined single mother, she parlayed her rich, velvety voice and ability to give reality to strong emotional roles into stardom on Broadway in the 1920s. Not a conventional beauty, she was alluring, with her beautiful body, perfect dress sense, and striking, volatile personality. After playing glamorous roles, she was recognised as a Leading Lady of the American Stage under the direction of Guthrie McClintic in Hamlet and co-starring with Laurence Olivier and Maurice Evans in Macbeth. Her reputation as a great actress was confirmed by her landmark performance in 1947 in the ancient Greek Medea, adapted for her by her friend, poet Robinson Jeffers. In a long career, she appeared in Medea again in 1982 at the age of 85, playing the Nurse to fellow-Australian Zoe Caldwell's Medea. Ambitious and driven, Anderson toured extensively, made numerous highly praised appearances on television, and, after her unforgettable role as Mrs Danvers, was a sought-after character actress in film, playing her last role as Vulcan High Priestess in Star Trek III at the age of 87. She won many awards and was made a Dame Commander of the British Empire in 1960 and Companion of the Order of Australia just before her death in 1992. She had a stormy private life and two short marriages, which, she remarked, were 'much too long.'

Book Description
American police departments have presided over the business of motion pictures since the end of the nineteenth century. Their influence is evident not only on the screen but also in the ways movies are made, promoted, and viewed in the United States. Screening the Police explores the history of film's entwinement with law enforcement, showing the role that state power has played in the creation and expansion of a popular medium. For the New Jersey State Police in the 1930s, film offered a method of visualizing criminality and of circulating urgent information about escaped convicts. For the New York Police Department, the medium was a means of making the agency world-famous as early as 1896. Beat cops became movie stars. Police chiefs made their own documentaries. And from Maine to California, state and local law enforcement agencies regularly fingerprinted filmgoers for decades, amassing enormous records as they infiltrated theatres both big and small. As author Noah Tsika demonstrates, understanding the scope of police power in the United States requires attention to an aspect of film history that has long been ignored. Screening the Police reveals the extent to which American cinema has overlapped with the politics and practices of law enforcement.
