Waiting for Forever

Contentedly jobless, wanderer Will Donner (Tom Sturridge) decides to focus his energies on reconnecting with the girl he loved as a child, Emma Twist (Rachel Bilson) -- who is now a 20-something television actress living in Hollywood -- and spending the rest of his life with her.

The story starts out a little slow and you don't know where it is going but it grows on you. I really enjoyed it. It was produced by James Keach (Jane Seymour's husband).

Stuntman by Hal Needham

I finished this book last week. I really enjoyed it. Hal Needham is the most famous stuntman in the world. An absolute must for fans of books about moviemaking, this autobiography of one of Hollywood’s most acclaimed stuntmen—not to mention one of the most financially successful directors of the 1970s and early 1980s—is guaranteed to keep readers glued to their seats. Needham, who broke into stunt work in the late 1950s, was the stunt coordinator for the television series Have Gun—Will Travel for six seasons. Moving to the big screen, he worked on movies directed by some of Hollywood’s heavyweights (Wilder, Penn, Frankenheimer, Schaffner) and starring some of the movie business’ biggest names (Wayne, Douglas, Hoffman, Hackman, Sinatra). In the seventies, he segued into directing, launching that career with the wildly successful, if critically reviled, Smokey and the Bandit (which, he reminds us, was beaten at the box office that year by only one movie, Star Wars). Needham also, for better or worse, pioneered the use of outtakes during a movie’s closing credits. A well-written and exciting book (Book List - David Pitt)

It is a definite read. If you grew up in the 70's and 80's you will remember the films that he directed. He was also the first crash dummy for air bags!!
