Popular Culture Association Ray and Pat Browne Award for the Best Reference/Primary Source Work in Popular and American Culture, First Runner-Up, 2019

Combining a cineaste's encyclopedic knowledge of film with a child's sense of wonder, Jim Ridley wrote about movies in a way few others can.

He reveled in the joy and mischief of cinema, dwelled on its beauty and violence, and navigated the full breadth of its mythology with clarity and enduring curiosity that earned him the respect of critics around the country. At the time of his unexpected death in 2016, Ridley was editor-in-chief of the alt-weekly Nashville Scene, the paper where his incisive, wide-ranging film reviews won him a devoted readership beginning in 1989.

People Only Die of Love in Movies takes its title from a line in the 1964 movie musical The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, the subject of one of Ridley's best-known pieces, included in this volume. In all, the anthology collects nearly one hundred of Ridley's film reviews, essays, and journalistic works, expertly organized by editor Steve Haruch into writing by film genre (e.g., Westerns, the Nouvelle Vague), cinematic theme (e.g., heroes, sexuality), and writing style (e.g., negative reviews, narrative journalism) to demonstrate Ridley's range.

People Only Die of Love in Movies invites its readers to revisit favorite films, discover new loves, and immerse themselves in the unparalleled writing of a discerning and knowledgeable critic.

Deep Moisture Without the Greasy Feel
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Deep Moisture Without the Greasy Feel I’ve tried countless lotions over the years for my dry skin, and this Vaseline Intensive Care Advanced Repair is one of the best. It has that classic Vaseline jelly component, but in a light lotion form that actually sinks in quickly instead of sitting on top of your skin. The first thing I noticed is how non-greasy it feels—you don’t get that sticky film that some heavy moisturizers leave behind. I can put this on in the morning and go about my day without leaving residue on my clothes or phone. The formula works fast. Within a couple of days, the dry patches on my arms and shins were noticeably softer, and by the end of the week my skin felt consistently smooth. It’s also truly unscented—no heavy perfumes, which makes it perfect for sensitive skin or for layering with a cologne or perfume. The fact that it carries the National Eczema Association seal of acceptance is reassuring too. The 20.3 oz bottles are generous, and the pack of three means I can keep one in the bathroom, one by the bed, and one in the guest room. That kind of convenience makes it easy to stick to daily use. A small note: because it’s a “healing” lotion, the texture is a little thicker than a lightweight daily moisturizer, but that’s exactly why it works so well. Just don’t expect it to be a thin, watery lotion—it’s more substantial. Bottom line: A rich but non-greasy lotion that heals dry, itchy, or sensitive skin quickly, and the value of the 3-pack makes it a smart buy for anyone who needs reliable daily moisture.

Excellant product..excellant pricing
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Another great product that I can now get from Amazon and not have to worry about "locating" in some store. Amazon's price is great for the sizing of the bottle, the product is absolutely non-greasy, very low in fragrance. I use it for an all-over body lotion and my skin stays soft.
