内容説明
Ever seen "Young Hannah, Queen of the Vampires"? What about "Satan's Little Helper"? Or "Puppet Master versus Demonic Toys"? If you haven't, you've missed some of the worst, most laughable films ever made. In this book, film buff Steve Miller gives detailed information on 150 of the biggest turkeys ever to emerge from movie studios. For each movie, Miller includes a list of principal cast, director, and producer, a plot overview, a short review, strong points, weak points (sometimes these are the same as the strong points), viewer advisory, choice quotes, interesting trivia, and a trivia quiz (the answers to which appear at the back of the book). For bad movie lovers, this is the book you'll want at your side as you sink into the couch, reach for the popcorn, and watch "Gingerdead Men 2: The Passion of the Crust".

Fun

形式:ペーパーバック
I found this book quite fun It looks like a sour-grape review here. The author has some laugh-out-loud comments and seems to be frank, and fair.
Admittedly, I am a film buff, so a book like this is very entertaining indeed. And, unlike many of the other in this theme, touches on some of the modern bad films.
One of the funniest parts of the book is a "They Really Said It" section. The author pulls out a line, or lines, and you can tell, even in the "context" of some off-base plot, the words are just wrong.
If you have a love of film, or know someone who does, this is fabulous! I am getting a couple for people I know. There's several areas that will interest different kinds of enthusiasts, which makes it a great gift.

A book you should die before you read.

If you are a horror fan, avoid this book at all costs. Only those who like to snicker and make snide comments about the horror genre will get anything out of this. This is ostensibly a book about the worst films ever made, yet Steve Miller displays his ignorance by including several very good, and even fantastic horror films. Suspiria, The Black Cat (1934), The Ruins, Cemetery Man, Creature From the Black Lagoon and so on. Miller clearly knows little about horror films, and all the Betcha Didn't Know trivia will draw a great big "No S***" from any self-respecting horror fan. Miller's reasoning for why some of these films "suck" is also extremely goofy and in no one truly make a movie "suck". The Black Cat? It sucks because it isn't actually based on Poe. This is also why The Raven sucks. (So what? That has no reflection on the quality of the movie itself.) The classic Creature From the Black Lagoon? It sucks because the characters act more like hunters than scientists. (Which is part of the point of the whole movie.) And From Beyond? Again, it wasn't based closely enough on Lovecraft. Although Miller admits it is a pretty good movie...which begs the question of why it's included in the book. Brilliant.
Steve Miller is someone who clearly just hates the horror genre, and takes on the usual arrogant, snide attitude such writers usually take. In doing so he, ironically, has written a book that can easily be labeled one of the worst film books ever written. Indeed, if you hate the horror genre, you may enjoy it. You can laugh along with Mr. Miller about how stupid all we horror fans are. If, however, you enjoy the genre, this book will only cause you to feel angry, to raise your eyebrows in confusion, and to simply laugh at Miller's "amazing" trivia (New World Pictures was founded by Roger Corman? You don't say!!!)
Steve Miller has no idea what a bad film is. He also gives the impression that he even considers a movie to "suck" if it's violent or gory. He needs to avoid horror films altogether, and certainly shouldn't have the arrogance to write about them. Stick with Michael Bay blockbusters and romantic comedies Mr. Miller...the horror genre has plenty of good scribes writing books about it.
A terrible book. Worse even than Monster-A-Go-Go.

A perfect add to a true movie buff's coffee table
2010/11/4
形式:ペーパーバック
I received a copy from a friend as a gift. The chapters titles were funny on there own. The authors reviews of the movies kept me laughing and groaning. While some of these titles I haven't seen, his satire and humor made me want to check them out. Everyone has there own favorite bad movies including this writer.
I liked how each entry had a "Why it sucked", favorite quote, single entry quiz and tidbits of other random trivia. My favorite was chapter 15 "Test your stamina!"
I groaned at the movie titles alone... I can't wait to try to sit through one of these un-recommended movies
I've got this book sitting with my coffee table book collection and every time I have people over it's the first coffee table book they reach for now.
