"American Popcorn" Book Event with author Dennis Willis, Sat. July 14th!

Florey's Books welcomes local author Dennis Willis as he discusses his new book "American Popcorn: Hollywood and the War on Common Sense"

***Saturday, July 14th, 2-4:30pm***

About the book:

From all-too revealing trailers and remakes, to over-priced fuzzy 3D movies, is there no end to the condescending ways the big studios will try to sell you their latest blockbusters? American Popcorn is a compilation of scathing, honest commentaries from film critic Dennis Willis on a wide variety of subjects, including the broken MPAA rating system, ill-conceived movie star vanity projects, and how tough it is to be a Star Wars fan. Funny and insightful, you'll never look at movies the same way again!

About the author:

Dennis Willis is an award-winning producer, TV host, director, editor, screenwriter and film critic. He produced and co-hosted Reel Life (later called Film Trip) from 1993-98.
Mr. Willis hosts the Flick Nation radio show, a weekly 1-hour look at the entertainment industry from the inside out. He also hosts the weekly syndicated feature Flick Nation: Home Media Guide, and is the Afternoon News film critic on KGO Radio in San Francisco.
His written reviews have appeared in dozens of magazines and newspapers; and he has conducted hundreds interviews with filmmakers and movie stars. Since 2009, Mr. Willis has published the Flick Nation Movie Guide, a compendium of current reviews.
