In an age when information is instant, the power to influence becomes instantaneous and the methods of delivery have become cunning and sly. Teri Haux’s book, Movie Viewer Extraordinaire, is a tool that can help discern the crafty agendas of persuasion embedded within the movies we watch. Haux presents five basic guidelines that can help movie lovers, in particular families, to rediscover the joys of movie watching, without succumbing to the wiles of media manipulators. Best-selling author and radio and television host, Glenn Beck, has hailed Haux’s effort saying, “Movie Viewer Extraordinaire offers a unique and positive look at the power of cinema. It deftly presents the tools you need to sort the crud that Hollywood passes off as entertainment from the gems that enrich your life." Clearly written in common-sense prose, Movie Viewer Extraordinaire is a must read for parents, movie moguls, and everyone who loves the movies. |

Movie Viewer Extraordinaire by Teri Haux traces the subtle influences and manipulations used by the media industry today, particularly the role they play in molding public opinion, influencing consumer buying patterns, and undermining the traditional family unit. Through common-sense writing, Haux’s impeccable examination pierces the superficial appreciation we have for movies to reveal the sly and cunning sleight of hand used by the media giants to control and direct our lives. Haux’s Movie Viewer Extraordinaire delivers in its promise to show us how to take back our power as consumers of media. Movie Viewer Extraordinaire demonstrates to parents and families, in particular, how five basic guidelines can help them to rediscover the joys of movie watching, without succumbing to the wiles of media manipulators. Movie Viewer Extraordinaire explodes old myths about what we watch and why, and does so with smarts, humor, and a firm hand on the remote. |
