Book Review, © Copyright 2002, Jim Loy
This book is very good, and very funny. Not only can Roger Ebert rant and rave about bad movies, but he writes very well too. Read about the classics: Ishtar, Heaven's Gate, Caligula, The Tin Drum, Anna and the King, Home Alone 2, Assault of the Killer Bimbos, and many more. A few of these movies (Anna and the King, Dead Poet Society, or Patch Adams for example) are not completely bad, but are just bad in some stupid way. Others are really really bad (like Death Race 2000 or Caligula). I really enjoyed this book. And, as Mr. Ebert points out, a few of these movies are so bad that they are fun to watch. The book has a table of contents in the back, labeled "Index"; maybe that was meant to be humorous (maybe not)?
