A decent if undemanding little book full of humorous reviews that had me chuckling away to myself, although some of the jokes fall a bit flat. The major issue I have with this book though is that it concentrates far too much on big hit films. A few more obscure oddities would have made things far more interesting!

Delightful
There are other ebooks on Amazon similar to this one and it's companion volume, but very few are as well done. The things I enjoy most in them are: relatively brief film plot synopses (many of the books mentioned above, give us tedious, boring blow-by-blow accounts of a film's plot and almost nothing else. Here, the author keeps things condensed in a nutshell generally, with personal interjections that make the synopses more enjoyable to read. The author's criticisms semi-eerily reflect mine as well, so he can't be wrong. Best of all, this fellow is funny as hell when necessary!
