Welcome to the Blog Tour for Connie Corcoran Wilson's It Came From The '70s. As part of the tour Connie is giving away Luggage Tags to ten readers who leave comments on either this post or tomorrow's guest post. Check out more on this at the end of this post.
Book Description
It Came From the '70s is the book movie lovers old and new have been searching for. The 1970s represented a fertile decade that produced such films as: Alien, Dirty Harry, Apocalypse Now, The Exorcist, Chinatown, The French Connection, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, The Godfather (Parts I and II), Star Wars, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, and many, many more. Featured in these pages are over 75 photos, major casts, a multitude of reviews, "Best of/Worst of" lists, and trivia for both the film buff and the uninitiated. It Came From the '70s is a slice of film history, painstakingly documented by noted author and journalist Connie Corcoran Wilson. The original reviews found here could not be replicated today. Consider them tiny time capsules capturing the zeitgeist of a decade.
My thoughts
Connie Corcoran Wilson takes the movie reviews she written in the seventies and compiled them in this book. The seventies had some classics and some flops and she covers many of them in this book. It‘s like going back through a time machine and reliving an era of cinema. I actually saw about 80% of the movies that are reviewed in this book and agree with about 90% of her assessments. I felt like I was back in my times deciding what movie to take my date to. I enjoyed the nostalgic trip to the films of the past.

It Came From the 70's is like a trip down memory lane, isn't it? Glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks, Dan, for your kind words. I probably don't need my own luggage tag, but they are cool!
Sincerely,
