Christmas is a week away! In case there are a few movie buffs in your life that you still need to shop for, here is a suggestion. The Great Showdowns (released last October) features the art of Scott Campbell, best known for his "Great Showdowns" series, featuring simple and adorable illustrations of movie characters facing off! It's an unconventional and unique gift for the film fan who has everything! I personally love that there is no index for the confrontations depicted; you either get it or you don't. It's kind of a badge of honor to make your way through the book and see how many films you can identify! I just gave this book as a Christmas present to This Cinematic Life contributors Colin and Rachel and they appeared to enjoy flipping through the book, identifying films, and laughing all the while. So consider gifting this to your favorite nerd. It's at least good for a laugh, and isn't that what Christmas is all about?
