Title: Awful, painful to read
Review: This was probably the most pretentious pile of garbage I've ever had to read. Ignoring the movie titles them selves, this book read like a cheap check-out counter tabloid. It's obviously written by a die-hard hollywood fan, but not from a historical point of view. Oh no, it was written by someone desperately fawning over the in-crowd, wishing *so hard* that people were talking about *them*. If this book were a person, it would be found standing in a group of film students all trying to one up each other, just pining for the opportunity to say "Oh you don't know about so-and-so? pff." before turning its nose up and continuing on its self-indulgent soapbox.By the end of the second chapter I had taken to just reading the first line of each paragraph and managed to get the entire gist of the book. Each paragraph is filled with so much gossipy fluff, you'd think it was being written by a student trying to hit the minimum word count for an English assignment.
Is the review positive or negative?
