The film career of Dennis Hopper spans half a century, beginning in the mid 1950s and ending in the new millennium upon his death. Hopper had a strange but brilliant career on the screen, starting in the golden age of James Dean and John Wayne, going through the Corman B movies of the 1960s, the turbulent but brilliant 1970s, his big comeback in the 1980s, to his days as Hollywood's favourite villain in the 90s, then into the B movies and late TV gold of his final years. This book goes through Hopper's credits, the TV appearances (Medic, 24, Crash), his classic movies (Easy Rider, The Last Movie, American Friend, Apocalypse Now, Blue Velvet), lesser known classics (Tracks, Mad Dog Morgan, River's Edge), odd ball curiosities (White Star, Human Highway, Bloodbath), lost forgotten gems (Last Days of Frankie the Fly, Blackout, Catchfire) and everything in between. This is the ultimate guide to the screen work of Dennis Hopper, one of the most exciting and charismatic actors the world has ever seen.

The Classic Album Series highlights records from the past, forgotten, overlooked and cherished alike, selected for their influence, relevance and worth. In this edition, writer, musician and filmmaker Chris Wade looks at Black Sabbath's landmark record, Paranoid, released in 1970. It was a big seller in its day, though one could perhaps judge it more thoroughly by its influence, longevity and undying power. Featuring landmark songs like Iron Man, War Pigs, Fairies Wear Boots and the hit single title track, Paranoid is as close to perfection as early Heavy Metal ever got, and remains a firm rock classic nearly fifty years later. This book celebrates the sounds within, from a personal viewpoint, and also looks at the legacy of its eight perfect songs. Chris Wade is a UK based writer, musician, artist and filmmaker.

Buster Keaton: The Later Years

Buster Keaton: The Later Years

Chris Wade

Lulu.com
2020
nidottu
In the golden age of silent cinema, Buster Keaton was one of the world's most revered filmmakers, his fame and acclaim matched only by Chaplin. However, when his career and personal life took a down turn upon the arrival of sound, Keaton's achievements were forgotten, and for years he was seen as a faded relic from another era. Contrary to popular belief however, Keaton bounced back. He quit the drink, remarried and got his career back on track. In the 1950s and 60s, he kept on working steadily on TV, in commercials, telefilms, mainstream movies and independent features. This book explores the final years, and days, of Buster Keaton. Chris Wade looks at the wide variety of work he took on, such as Film, which Keaton made with Samuel Beckett; The Railrodder, one of his final two- reelers; and a host of other lost curiosities worthy of dusting off and re-evaluating. Wade makes a case for this latter period being a Keaton renaissance. Also includes a new Q and A with Gerald Potterton, director of The Railrodder.

Madonna in the Eighties

Madonna in the Eighties

Chris Wade

Lulu.com
2018
pokkari
This book takes a look at the cultural and musical impact Madonna's music, films and persona had on the world in the 1980s. It was the decade she helped define with a series of classic albums (from her self titled debut, through Like A Virgin and True Blue to Like Prayer), the hit movie Desperately Seeking Susan, and her revolutionary music videos. She became the most famous woman in the world and a pop idol rivaled only by Michael Jackson. Nearly thirty years since that decade ended, Chris Wade delves into this special time in a series of essays on her work, gaining fresh insights into the phenomenon of early Madonna, as well as interviewing those who worked with her.

The Music of Ozzy Osbourne

The Music of Ozzy Osbourne

Chris Wade

Lulu.com
2018
pokkari
Ozzy Osbourne is a rock legend and pioneer of heavy metal, but these days it seems that more importance is placed upon his persona and celebrity than the groundbreaking music he has been a part of since the early 1970s. There have been many biographies on his life, but none have gone into his music with any real depth. Writer and musician Chris Wade, a life long Ozzy and Sabbath fan, has decided to look solely at Ozzy's music, putting the head biting and drug taking antics to one side to chart a career that includes Sabbath classics like Paranoid, and solo masterpieces such as Blizzard of Ozz and No More Tears. It's time for the working class hero to be judged by his talents, rather than his rock star credentials.

ASPECTS OF SALVADOR DALI is a series of articles, essays and interviews on the phenomenon of this legendary Spanish artist and world icon.

The book includes an interview with Dali's muse Amanda Lear, plus articles on his childhood, his relationship with his wife Gala, his scientific interests, his suspect political beliefs, his work on film, his sexual obsessions and quirks, his battle between fame and integrity, his damaged reputation as a serious artist, his sad decline, and a personal trip to Dali's museum and resting place, the Teatre-Museu in Figueres. Not a standard biography, but a personal trip into the world of Salvador Dali.
