She’s caring for a five-year-old boy named Teddy who loves to draw but as his pictures turn increasingly sinister, Mallory suspects supernatural forces at work. It's a fascinating lesson in how NOT to make a movie. Hidden Pictures, by Jason Rekulak F resh out of rehab, 23-year-old Mallory Quinn finds the perfect new job: Working as a babysitter in the idyllic suburb of Spring Brook, New Jersey. The movie was a dud, and Hirsch chronicles all the big missteps that led to its failure. My favorite chapter was devoted to a movie I've never even seen - the 1994 romcom I LOVE TROUBLE, with Julia Roberts and Nick Nolte. Really, there's just a ton of great information here for writers & storytellers & aspiring filmmakers & anyone interested in movies. And if you're a John Hughes fan, there are some great stories about FERRIS BUELLER and PLANES TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES. I was eager to read this book because I'm a big De Palma fan and I wanted to read the chapters on CARRIE and BLOW OUT and MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE. He's probably most famous for editing STAR WARS and EMPIRE STRIKES BACK but he's cut dozens of 1980s classics - everything from FOOTLOOSE to STEEL MAGNOLIAS and even CREEPSHOW. Hirsch is a great storyteller and his body of work is incredible. It's not for everyone but (to paraphrase the cover blurb from Brian De Palma) if you want to learn how the sausage is made, this is the book for you. 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars Hidden Pictures: A Novel by Jason Rekulak 4.6 (32) Paperback 17.99 Hardcover 25.19 Paperback 17.99 eBook 14.99 Audiobook 0.00 Large Print 36.99 View All Available Formats & Editions Premium Members get an additional 10 off AND collect stamps to save with B&N Rewards.
