Sceneclopedia: Action/Adventure does a remarkable thing in bridging the gap between theory and practice by deconstructing great movies on multiple levels. Kelly Goodner here provides the circumspect eye of a Big Agency story analyst combined with the practicum of a working filmmaker. What results is a fascinating tool by which the reader can map the delicate balance of structure, character development, and theme, considering each as a component of the greater whole. This isn't a fill-in-the-blank screenwriting book - it's a deep dive consideration of the best of Hollywood filmmaking and the lessons a writer can apply to their own work."- Dennis Bakriges, production executive, Clash of the Titans
