Summary: For dedicated fans of great old-time science fiction
Comment: Eye On Science Fiction by movie expert Tom Weaver presents twenty interviews with classic science fiction and horror filmmakers, including Herman Cohen, Alex Gordon, Beverly Washburn, John Hart, Robert Nichols, William Wellman, and others. Black-and-white photographs enhance the candid, open testimonies that span science fiction and horror fantasy subgenres, generations, artistic interpretations, interacting with stars, and the ever fickle and evolving desires of the movie-going public. Eye On Science Fiction is a very highly recommended reference and resource for academic Cinematic Studies collections, especially fun and informative reading for dedicated fans of great old-time science fiction and horror movies.

Summary: Psychotronic Alert!
Comment: This book is a great surprise. An eclectic group of interviews all connected by an affiliation (actor, producer, writer, etc.)to vintage science-fiction b-films. Some names you might recognize, such as Mike "Mannix" Connors or Richard "Jaws" Kiel". Other names you might not recognize, but chances are that they will be talking about someone you know in the interview. The best part is that interviewer Weaver seems to have a knack for getting his subjects to really let their guard down and provide some very interesting anecdotes. Heck, why not just say it - they really dish the dirt! Weaver also seems to have an incredible background knowledge of the films and the behind-the-scenes people involved, so he is able to converse on a somewhat deeper level than the average interviewer would. The interviews are mostly culled from kind of obscure genre mags, but unless you are the ultimate die-hard fan boy/girl who has everything, you probably haven't run across many (or any) of them. A little pricey, but worth adding to your collection!
