1001: A Video Odyssey: Movies to Watch for Your Every Mood! FROM THE PUBLISHER
1001: A Video Odyssey is the MUST-HAVE video guide for anyone searching for the perfect movie to rent (or buy). No more standing around the video store feeling foolish! This entertaining and often hilarious guide points you toward movies you absolutely need to see, movies you may have missed and movies you never had any intention of watching, all cleverly organized and grouped by the politically correct -- and not so correct -- moods they inspire.
Written with wit, attitude and more than a sight touch of sarcasm, 1001: A Video Odyssey contains capsule reviews of over 1,000 movies in one hundred categories reflecting every mood, emotion, sentiment, attitude, and seasonal holiday. For each entry, author Steve Tatham lists the title, rating, key cast members, DVD availability and commentary with a wicked sense of humor. Unlike many rival video guides, this book includes junk food suggestions that have been specifically selected for each category, as well as a collection of off-beat quotes and dialogue.
FROM THE CRITICS
Internet Bookwatch
1001: A Video Odyssey - Movies To Watch For Your Every Mood is a movie buff's delight for simple browsing or film watch scheduling. Steve Tatham offers an entertaining and often very funny guide for video rental and movie collectors. This compendium of movies missed, forgotten, or never heard of is artfully organized and grouped by politically correct and no-so-correct ideas and attitudes. A hip, original, and fun video guide offers such novel categories as Zit Flicks; Before They Were Stars; Lethal Wenches; Dysfunction Junction; Splitsville Hits; Films That Should Have Won Best Picture Oscar, and (my personal favorite) Not In Front Of Your Parents. No cinema buff can call his film and video reference collection complete without the inclusion of Steve Tatham's 1001: A Video Odyssey!
