OSCAR 2001 - 03/08/02

DVDs, CDs, VHS & Books About 'Em
Catch Up With OSCAR^{^®} @ your library™

Big-name feature films are appearing on VHS and DVD faster than Mel Gibson chasing redcoats. And with the OSCARs^® looming — March 25 — you should be able to draw some movie buffs with a little bit of OSCAR^® @ your library™ promotion.

In case you have been hibernating this winter, this year's biggies, with literary tie-ins, include in part:

Movie	Literary Tie-In
Gladiator	anything Roman/Latin including a pretty good tale by Shakespeare, W.
Erin Brockovich	women's rights, toxic waste, courts and civil law, stiletto heels and the history of mini-skirts
The Contender	government, Constitutional law, women in politics
Requiem for a Dream	the novel by Selby, pharmaceuticals, addiction
The Patriot	American history, UK and British history, family relations, and, if you have the videos, maybe a Mad Max retrospective just for perspective
Chocolat	the Roman Catholic Church, cocoa products, confections, tooth care
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon	Asia, martial arts
Traffic	recent history of the Americas, smuggling, illegal drugs, law enforcement, cop stories, the audio recording of A Pirate Looks At Forty by Buffett, J.
How the Grinch Stole Christmas	anything by Dr. Seuss, there are few other titles involving Grinches

To assist in this noble effort we submit the 2K+1 LM&PR OSCAR^® and movie @ your library™ bookmark series. Four sets of four bookmarks to be printed on letter-size paper and cut to size by nimble librarian fingers. There are two classic OSCAR^® bookmarks plus the delicious — and buttery — popcorn themed bookmark and finally, the almost-too-cute-little-TV-set-with-rabbit-ear-antennae bookmark. Download the whole show FREE now (oscar2001.pdf, 455KB).
