- Hi, want to reccomend a book to all lovers of bad movies,
- Video Trash & Treasures V 1, 2 (citation attached).
-
- These are small cheap paperbacks with no movies posters
- or stills. The books are collections of short (1 paragraph)
- movie reviews, organized by genre (he calls them "festivals), with
- a short essay on each genre. The quality of the writing is very high
- (Morse is a mystery writer, though I am not familar with his books)
- and very funny.
-
- While he reviews only mainstream 'B's, the PC crowd will find much
- to be righteously offended by. But if you like the kind of movies
- that seem to get mentioned on this newsgroup, you'll enjoy the text.
