About the Item

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button: The making of the motion picture hardcover illustrated book December 2, 2008 by David Fincher (Author), Eric Roth (Author), Robin Swicord (Author) “I was born under unusual circumstances.” So begins the film adaptation of this 1920s story about a man who is born in his 1980s and ages backwards: a man, like any of us, who is unable to stop time. We follow his story, set in New Orleans from the end of World War I in 1918 into the 21st century, a journey that is as unusual as any man’s life can be. Directed by David Fincher (Se7en, Fight Club) from a screenplay by Eric Roth (Forrest Gump, The Good Shepherd), screen story by Eric Roth and Robin Swicord (Memoirs of a Geisha, Little Women), “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” stars Oscar nominees and winners Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchette, Tilda Swinton, and Julia Ormond. It is a grand tale of a not-so-ordinary man and the people and places he discovers along the way, the loves he finds, the joys of life and the sadness of death, and what lasts beyond time. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a film that melds the elements of a great script and special effects into a phenomenal project. Watching the film I was entranced by how the film makers seamlessly applied the cgi with real actors and places. If you loved the film you'll particularly love this beautiful coffee table book. It's packed with beautiful photos, actor and director commentary and a behind the scenes look at the special effects employed in the film. It's a great addition to the library of any fan of modern cinema.

The Blue Planet a Natural History of the Oceans Hardcover Book
Located in North Hollywood, CA
The Blue Planet A Natural History of the Oceans. From space Planet Earth is blue. It floats like a jewel in the inky black void. The reflection of the suns light from the vast expanse of water covering its surface creates its gem-like blue colour. In the entire solar system Earth is the only planet that has water in its liquid form in such quantities. Scientists have calculated that 70% of our planet is covered by water; small wonder then that humans have always been so fascinated by the oceans and what lies beneath. Today while we still have so much more of the ocean realm to uncover we have discovered enough to know that beneath the waves lies a vast treasure-trove of rich and diverse life. The Blue Planet leads us on a voyage of exploration from the coasts, the very edges of the oceans. Authors: Alastair Fothergill, DK Publishing, Dk, Martha Holmes, Andrew Byatt, David Attenborough...
