With six issues of their excellent CINEMA OF THE '70s magazine under their belts, publishing dynamic duo Dawn and Jonathon Dabell have branched out into the next logical direction with the brand spanking new CINEMA OF THE '80s. The first 100-page full-colour issue is now out, featuring my seven-page look at FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH (which recently celebrated its 40th anniversary). Elsewhere, this debut also takes in Jonathan's cover piece on the Arnie CONAN movies, Darren Linder delves into MANHUNTER, Ian Taylor covers WHO DARES WIN, Rachel Bellwoar examines BROADCAST NEWS, Simon J. Ballard takes a RETURN TO OZ, and David Michael Brown provides an overview of 80s De Palma. There's LOTS more, as well, including pieces on DEATH WISH II, FITZCARRALDO, THE NINTH CONFIGURATION, Woody Allen in the 80s, and Dawn's interview with writer/director Steve De Jarnatt (CHERRY 2000, MIRACLE MILE). Check Amazon for a listing of complete contents and ordering details.
