I have had this movie book for a long time, so I picked it up again to get some ideas of what light fare I could watch now. Unfortunately, it is so old? (2003), that none of the movies I looked up are even available! Luckily I do own a few of them on DVD, being favorites. That being said, I found the movie summaries, quotes, and general writing quite amusing. There was lots that I disagreed with, but it is still a fun book. Very different from my other film reference books.
The writing style is fun at first but gets old fast. Not every sentence should have 30-60 words. Plus, there are inaccuracies, so I'm not sure I trust their opinions.
