Rutger Hauer has dazzled audiences for years with his creepy, inspiring, and

Blade Runner and a psychotic hitchhiker in The Hitcher, to a cold-blooded
terrorist in Nighthawks and a blind martial arts master in Blind Fury, but his
movie career was nothing compared to his real-life adventures of riding horses,
sword fighting, and leaving home at fifteen to scrub decks on a freighter and
explore the world. From poverty to working with a traveling theater troupe to
his breakout European performance in Turkish Delight and working with legendary
directors such as Paul Verhoeven (RoboCop, Basic Instinct) and Ridley Scott
(ALIEN, Gladiator), Hauer has collected all those moments here.

THE X-FILES 2008 MOVIE NOVELIZATION MMPB
by Max Allan Collins
Mulder and Scully are back in the thrilling novelization of the summer 2008
blockbuster movie based on the classic X-Files TV show! When a group of women
are abducted in the wintry hills of rural Virginia, the only clues to their
disappearance are the grotesque human remains that begin to turn up in snow
banks along the highway. With officials desperate for any lead, a disgraced
priest’s questionable “visions” send local police on a wild goose chase and
straight to a bizarre secret medical experiment that may or may not be connected
to the women’s disappearance. It’s a case right out of The X-Files. But the FBI
closed down its investigations into the paranormal years ago. And the best team
for the job is ex-agents Fox Mulder and Dr. Dana Scully, who have no desire to
revisit their dark past. Still, the truth of these horrific crimes is out there
somewhere...and it will take Mulder and Scully to find it! (120/0-06-168771-5)

YOU'RE NEXT! THE LOSS OF IDENTITY IN HORROR FILMS SC
edited by Anthony Ambrogio
Loss of identity, submergence of self, death of the soul — under various names
and in various guises — befalls individuals trapped in a horror/sf/fantasy
universe. An examination of the ways in which this fundamental terror is visited
upon people in the movies — and what it does to them — could provide a new
perspective on — and greater understanding of — the films that employ it and
perhaps lead to a deeper appreciation of what it means to be human and why
losing that defining aspect of our lives is so profoundly frightening. Offering
a fresh look at horror films, this A-Z guide covers films such as The Alligator
People, Blade Runner, Brazil, The Creeping Unknown, Fifth Element, Invasion of
the Body Snatchers, and many other genre films. (575/1-887664-80-7) (C: 0-1-2)
