Flix You Missed
Where do you watch your movies? Probably not in theaters. This book gives you a guide to the movies you probably missed in the past 10 years. These films are sometimes quirky, sometimes moving, sometimes hilarious--sometimes all three. These flix are worthy of a wider audience than they received when everyone didn't have time to see them in theaters. You can find "movies you missed" blogs online, but they are often about a specific genre like science fiction or fantasy. The films in this book are exceptionally written with superb acting, direction, and cinematography. They appeal to a broad audience, but they are often missed. This is your chance to take a new look at films you didn't know about (or you did but didn't get a chance to see). We hope you enjoy some hidden treasures.
