Advantages: Informative and fun
Disadvantages: Maybe too much text for younger readers

...really fun book, one of the features I really enjoyed was essays that were included throughout the guide which gives views on Springfield through the eyes of the resident’s of Springfield. The use of the colours and layout of the book really give it an attractive design for the reader. It is good going through the book and seeing what places you have spotted in the episodes from watching them and having a bit more background information. It came ... Read review

Advantages: Diverting and amusing
Disadvantages: Trivial omissions

...almost as many books on the subject of cult cinema as there are cult films. But most of them tend to be huge hardbacks with pictures of Arnold Schwarzenegger on the cover from The Terminator. They tend to adopt a slightly condescending tone and disparage blockbuster multiplex fare. Despite having Arnie on the cover. The Rough Guide to Cult Movies is different. It's an entry in the hugely successful Rough Guide series, most often associated with ...
...pocket-sized paperback, everything else about the book is pure fun. It's a mine of interesting facts for film nerds, and even the non-cinema obsessed will find a lot of entertaining facts. Perfect for sounding knowledgeable at parties, it's basically a step up from those 'Bluffer's Guide to...' books. And Jack Nicholson is on the cover instead of Arnie. Kicking off with a definition of what makes a 'cult movie', the introduction sets the tone for ... Read review

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: poor acting, poor story line, just poor!!

...has too be one of the most dissapointing i've seen in a long time. The acting is awfull and the story line is nothing short of pathetic. The only intersting part was a cameo by shaun ryder from the happy monday's and black grape. I am suprised that sean connery would have got involved in a movie as poor as this. It wasn't worth 35p nether mind the £3.50 i spent on renting the video. All concerned should stay well clear of this film. Its an ... Read review
