The latest issue of Splice, the journal for all of those using popular cinema in the classroom, focuses on the work of one of the most successful and studied directors working today: Tim Buton. Articles in this issue discuss Edward Scissorhands (1990), Burton’s Batman films, and Sleepy Hollow (1999), covering such themes as mental illness and the representation of disability in the director’s work. John Atkinson

Peter Jackson’s trilogy was a project of enormous artistic vision and financial risk. This volume is the first to consider each film’s major concepts: their complex origins and narrative structure; their representation of masculinity, femininity, and race; generic patterns; industrial contexts; and film language. The book relates critical debates and key terms to the texts and explores their stylistic and cultural influence. This student edition (an instructor’s edition is also available) brings the story up to date with reflections on The Hobbit films.
Gaming is now an important media studies issue, yet to date there has been very little material written for teachers to use in the classroom. Dave Harrison, a media teacher and former gaming journalist, has written the ideal introduction to this topic for educators. Covering the history of videogames from Pong to Angry Birds; offering in-depth coverage of game genres, audiences, marketing, and promotion; and including ideas for classroom work and discussion, Gaming makes the delivery of this topic accessible to all.
