Libraries may want more than one copy of this surefire popular item. (Booklist, August 1998)
Review
Lots of familiar flicks are included, and readers over a wide range of ages have the opportunity to gush, "So that's how they did that!" This book tosses in a few examples constructed just for this title, however (an 'alien' mask, a car explosion), which may set readers futilely wondering "What movie's that from?" Hamilton also presumes a degree of media savvy among his audience that precludes the need for carefully defining terms. This is undeniably browser heaven, though, and young buffs will find themselves on cloud nind. (Bulletin Center for Children's Books, September 1998)
