From the Publisher

★ 12/01/2013
There's probably a more dignified way to enjoy the pop culture group Gallery 1988's second collection of its Crazy 4 Cult art show than by stopping on every page to show your friends the brilliant takes on Donnie Darko, The Breakfast Club, Suspiria, or A Clockwork Orange. However, breathless excitement is the honest response to this collection of cult classic-inspired artwork featuring mixed-media takes on beloved films. As actor Seth Rogen says in the book's introduction, this is an accessible art collection for fans of offbeat interpretations of the movies they grew up watching. Highlights include Andrew DeGraff's map of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Jude Buffum's video game approach to The Princess Bride, and Michelle Coffee's plushie figure depicting the Dude from The Big Lebowski. VERDICT This book is highly recommended for libraries looking to update their art collections and make them relevant to a younger audience.—Terry Bosky, Madison, WI
