THE KILLER INSIDE ME – “You Gotta Go There” | LIT NOIR
https://litnoir.wordpress.com/2011/02/18/the-killer-inside-me-–-“you-gotta-go-there”
Welcome to the world of shadows! February 18, 2011. THE KILLER INSIDE ME You Gotta Go There. The Killer inside Me. By Jim Thompson, 256 pages, $13.95. This classic of shadowy, noir alienation predates Patricia Highsmith’s. The Talented Mr. Ripley. A friend recently asked me if I was interested in getting the much acclaimed DVD version of this Thompson story. But the kind of perspective possible in a novel like this is different from a movie. I’m rereading. The Remarkable Mr. Ripley. The Killer Inside Me.

THE THIN MAN – “Drawing Room Comedy with Corpses” | LIT NOIR
https://litnoir.wordpress.com/2011/06/27/the-thin-man-–-“drawing-room-comedy-with-corpses”
Welcome to the world of shadows! June 27, 2011. THE THIN MAN Drawing Room Comedy with Corpses. It’s impossible to read this book and not see and hear. William Powell and Myrna Loy in the classic 1934 film that inspired five. Sequels. The plot is preposterous and the Hammett novel (and its readers) don’t. Really care. Nick Charles typically stands in the midst of inexplicable events. With a drink in his hand, nodding wisely as if he understands everything and is. I mean, will you. And tagged Dashiell Hamm...

THE BLACK DALHIA – What Went Wrong? | LIT NOIR
https://litnoir.wordpress.com/2011/03/09/the-black-dalhia-what-went-wrong
Welcome to the world of shadows! March 9, 2011. THE BLACK DALHIA – What Went Wrong? The Black Dahlia, 2006, Brian De Palma, Director. KEEPER: Nothing stays buried. The novelist whose book this disaster is based upon (convoluted story of dirty cops, damaged dames, crooked politicians and violent murder and that’s the good part) is none other than James Ellroy (. But half way through this promising movie set in the noir 40’s goes awry. Why? Give us your take, so the Black Dahlia can finally rest in peace.

RECENT DVDs / BOOKS | LIT NOIR
https://litnoir.wordpress.com/recent-movie-book-reviews
Welcome to the world of shadows! RECENT DVDs / BOOKS. The Long Drunk by Eric Coyote, 2011. Kindle, $2.99. This is the gritty story of a homeless alcoholic who must solve a murder in order save his dog’s life. If that turns you off…wait. When I first started out as a graphic illustrator I thought maximum contrast meant black and white. Gradually I discovered that gray makes black seem blacker and white whiter. An excerpt appears in Lit Noir #3, available from The Lit Noir Store, to the right. And as much ...

https://litnoir.wordpress.com/2011/01/24/chinatown-roman-polanski-director-1974
Welcome to the world of shadows! January 24, 2011. CHINATOWN “One of the Greatest Films of All Time”. Chinatown – Roman Polanski, Director, 1974. John Huston, who’s first film was the iconic. Plays a pivotal role in the last American film of Roman Polanski (whose wife, Sharon Tate, was murdered in 1969) to create the ultimate film on LA, corruption and the underbelly of the American Dream. Polanski later fled the US after being convicted of statutory rape that stemmed from a party at Nicholson’s house.

A FULL RICH DEATH – “The best mystery ever.” | LIT NOIR
https://litnoir.wordpress.com/2011/01/26/a-full-rich-death-–-“the-best-mystery-ever-”
Welcome to the world of shadows! January 26, 2011. A FULL RICH DEATH The best mystery ever. A Full Rich Death. 204 pages, $12. This is an astonishing book that will leave you reeling. On the cover is a blurb by Ruth Rendell claiming, Dibdin has a gift for shocking the unshockable reader. That is dangerous because it gets us imagining all of the farfetched possibilities. But then wham! From which only we, the readers, will emerge (though not unscathed). To order this directly from amazon click: A Rich Ful...
