HD Film Tributes music video: The Power of Love by Huey Lewis and the News. And a memory stirs... I was singing this once at YMCA after school care in... I reckon it was fourth grade? Anyway, I'm prone to randomly burst out in song from time to time, and for years I would do it in front of others.[1] Brian Niedermayer witnessed one of these soulful serenades as I belted out, for no reason, "it's the power of love," and he said "Ew!" I zipped up posthaste since I figured I must've done something ...

I saw Canadian Michael J. Fox, on “Family Ties” but did not need to read his award-winning autobiography, “Lucky Man”, to know adoration of him in pop culture comes from the box office smash, “Back To The Future!” My family’s favourite entertainment phenomenon from our childhood is this trilogy. With little prompting, I know what the actors’ dialogue, scenes, and soundtracks will be. It is mysterious, touching, funny, magical, relatable, and inspiring. It made everyone respect and admire Mike mo...

Same story as the one you've loved for 35 years, minus any of its comic pacing or narrative energy. How did George Gipe manage to render one of the most exciting stories ever told so lifeless and dull?Whereas most movie novelizations transcribe the scenes and dialogue verbatim, with little artistic embellishment, this one extends each sequence with copious (and often redundant) dialogue, and overtly dramatizes events that happened off-screen -- proving in the process that sometimes more is defin...

Considering that this is one of my favourite movies and a good movie novelisation has been a staple of my book collection over the last 27 years of reading, it's pretty strange how I've never read this before. It wasn't until a good friend bought me the trilogy of BTTF novelisations for my 31st birthday that I knew they even existed. Thanks to this quality gift, I got these books brought to my attention.As with all movie adaptation books, it's good fun to read and to add a different perspective ...

At some point I'm going to reread this book. I originally read this book back in high school. In high school I was not what you'd call a voracious reader. In fact, I was quite the opposite. Of course I was assigned the usual literary lineup of classics, Little Woman, The Scarlet Letter, Lord of the Flies, Fahrenheit 451. Once when watching a movie with a friend I asked her, "Who exactly is Dorian Grey?" She looked at me and said, "Its The Portrait of Dorian Grey." When I kept giving her the blan...

This really took me back… literally. One of my favorite trilogies ever from my childhood. There were some differences between the book and the movie but it didn’t make any difference in the enjoyment of reading this. I will be reading the other books very soon as well and I hope to enjoy them as much.

Questo libro di George Gipe è la trasposizione libresca del celeberrimo film omonimo di Robert Zemeckis e ne segue a grandi linee la storia. Ovviamente per riuscire a tirarne fuori un libro sono state aggiunti degli episodi qui e là, per allungare un po' il brodo. In particolare si dà più spazio a Strikland e al rapporto fra il George giovane e Marty. Queste aggiunte sono in gran parte intonate alla storia originale, tranne quando affronta la questione dei terroristi libici in cui si va dal ridi...

It's been years since I read this. The first time was just after the movie (and the book!) came out and I've read it a couple of times since. This was my favourite movie and reading the novelisation was like a "spot the differences" picture, although the book pointed out a couple of things I'd missed seeing at the cinema.

The writing in this novelization is so bad it actually enters into "so bad it's funny" territory. The choices made by author George Gipe are insane, from the opening where a family dies in a nuclear blast, to scenes that make Marty racist (see his reaction to hearing that Libyans are coming), homophobic (an entire out loud conversation is dedicated to Marty's concern that pretending to sexually assault his mother will alter his sexuality) and borderline sociopathic (he attempts to burn down the ...
