As the guys at <I>Cahiers du Cinema</I> say, au contraire! Hollywood's spigot of stupidity shows no sign of slowing, and cheesy films continue to flood our multiplexes and gunk up our home entertainment centers at an alarming rate. This dire situation calls for a specialist. A professional. An expert in wading through motion pictures so vile that they aren't released; they escape. We need Mike Nelson! Hey, settle down there, pal--<I>you got him!</I></P><P>In more than sixty laugh-out-loud reviews and essays featuring his unique combination of erudite wit and shameless clowning, this screenscarred veteran takes us deep into the recesses of cinematic cheese. He examines legendary showbiz families like Culkin, Baldwin, and Estevez; uncovers an ancient quatrain in which Nostradamus foretells the coming of David Hasselhoff; makes the case for the Food Network and the Three Stooges; and skewers all kinds of movies, including <I>Lost in Space, Twister, Anaconda, The Postman, Spring Break, My Best Friend's Wedding, The Bridges of Madison County, The Blair Witch Project,</I> and many, many more. Here is a film critic for the rest of us: the outrageous, hilarious Mike Nelson.</P> 41301 1 7 2000 Mike Nelson's Movie Megacheese total:187|5:70|4:71|3:38|2:6|1:2| 187 762 257 15 5 0 false false Sat Sep 05 09:36:08 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 05 09:47:48 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Jan 22 13:05:46 -0800 2008 Tue Jan 22 13:09:21 -0800 2008 I learned to never watch Lost in Space, but I already knew that, as it stars Matt LeBlanc, a sure sig...more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Aug 03 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 27 11:47:51 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 03 08:02:50 -0700 2009 1 5 0 false false Sun Nov 04 19:41:19 -0800 2007 Sun Nov 04 19:42:56 -0800 2007 Mystery Science Theater 3000 and when I first got a copy of Mike Nelson’s Movie Megacheese, I was nonplussed.
