MY SECOND PUBLISHED BOOK...
ABOUT ME

I've been a writer my entire adult life.  Stronger than my passion for the keyboard is my passion for the movies.  My three published books, IT'S STRICTLY PERSONAL: A Nostalgic Movie Memoir of 1975-1982 , IT'S STILL STRICTLY PERSONAL: A Continuing Nostalgic Movie Memoir of 1983-1991 and IT'S FOREVER STRICTLY PERSONAL: A Final Nostalgic Movie Memoir of 1992-1999, are the most personal stories you'll ever read about the movies that not only impacted my journey through the late 1970s, the 1980s and the 1990s, but also helped to shape the man I've become.  These books are dedicated to those who still remember, and those who will never forget a time when movies and blockbusters were changing, growing and evolving into deep-rooted memories for every child, teen and adult who sat in front of the big screen and waited for the magic to unfold.

​

I'm also the author of my own personal film blog since 2010.  Take a journey with me through my entire film collection in their alphabetical order and share my reviews, my thoughts, my feelings and my memories at...

PUBLICATION REVIEWS FOR IT'S STRICTLY PERSONAL

"Eric Friedmann can be proud of his accomplishment with this book. He has faced some of his weaknesses and overcome them with the help of a good movie. He generates some interesting thoughts on favorite directors like Woody Allen, David Lynch and Stanley Kubrick. Without hesitation he speaks his mind on the films and the people in his life. It may not always be comfortable, but it is always interesting, and of course, it is always personal."
