SlashFilm reported screenwriter/author Blake Snyder passed away on Tuesday August 4th of cardiac arrest.  Blake was best know for writing two really good books on screenwriting:

Save The Cat! The Last Book on Screenwriting You’ll Ever Need

This is a how to book on screenwriting.  Filled with really good information on the craft and business of screenwriting.  Nicely presented.

Save the Cat! Goes to the Movies: The Screenwriter’s Guide to Every Story Ever Told

This book takes an insightful look at 50 of the greatest films of the last thirty years.  Blake breaks each film down into 15 beats.
