Summary: coachphil@stopdreamin.com Loves 99 Films Scenes for Actors
Review: Angela Nicholas has hit a "home run" with this tighly edited compilation of great movie scenes! I teach an on-camera acting class, in Studio City, CA and the students love the material! Angela has painstakingly edited these scenes & turned them into balanced gems. From Annie Hall, Pulp Fiction, to Working Girl, the material is so diverse and up to date. What a gift! Other scene study books, bog you down with stale dialogue! The movie scenes chosen by Angela, flow with comedic and dramatic timing. These scenes are brilliantly broken down and an excellent tool for teaching Film & TV acting. Angela has saved me from digging through endlessly boring scene study books. My students are now excited to perform scenes from movies they love. Angela, thank you for taking us to a whole new level! A "must have" book, for serious acting coaches and students! When can we expect a new edition of Film Scenes For Actors? We'd love to see more!!Thank you, Phil De Champlain

Summary: A book of great scenes that an actor can afford! Finally!
Review: As an actor, I am pleased that this is not just another collection of the same old dredged up scenes from outdated films that none of us have heard of or care about. Nearly every scene in the book is from films of the 80s & 90s, with multiple scenes from some of the best. Examples: 5 scenes from "Good Will Hunting;" 4 from "The Crying Game;" 2 from "Frances;" etc. This is good stuff. Angela Nicholas' book features scenes for actors in their 20s-40s, not the usual teenager/grandparent scenes you find in other books. (I don't know about you, but most of the actors in my class are too old to play teens and too young to play grandparents.) Well, I suppose I've raved enough -- it's so hard to shut up an actor!

Summary: Great Book, Strangely Organised
Review: Great, hard to find scenes, but not for monloluges. There are no monologues in this book.

Summary: GREAT Scenes, but Unoragnized
Review: I found this book great if your doing two-person scenes, but if your looking for a monologue, don't come here. It's also not very organized.

Summary: Finally, a scene book with good scenes!
Review: I've picked up so many scene books for auditions and usually they have, like, 20 monologues, of which 15 are from Eugene O'neill and/or David Mamet. This book, as can be seen in the title, offers much more than the usual. Not only that, but it's about half the price of any other scene book taht I've ever seen!

Summary: A Good Selection Of Scenes
Review: If you are into acting,want to make movies,write them or just watch them,this book is a lot of fun to flip through. Most of the scenes aren't from big "playing everywhere" movies so you don't have to worry about imitating someone else's performance. And with the few that are,it's a good exercise in how to make a charactor"yours" instead of DeNiro's (for example.) A worthwhile scene-book to own.
