A must for any movie buff, Sep 25 2003
This review is from: Joblo.com Presents... the 50 Coolest Movies of All Time (Paperback)
I discovered this book through JoBlo's website, and it's a wonderful take on all of our fave films. Jo not only gives a fair and honest review to some of the best movies out there, he includes fascinating tidbits on "behind-the-scenes" action, as well as why he found each film so engrossing. It's as well-written as the reviews you find on his website, each chapter endowed with Jo's razor-sharp humour and wit. I've recommended this book to all of my fellow film-loving friends. If you love movies, you'll love this book and must add it to your library. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

Movie-Fan Must, Sep 23 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Joblo.com Presents... the 50 Coolest Movies of All Time (Paperback)
I've been a fan of Berge Garabedian for a while, and spend a good deal of time on his website, joblo.com. Garabedian's style is user-friendly. He resists the common, off-putting preachiness that most main stream movie-goers so loathe, and delivers straight-forward, honest, and simple insights. It sits on my shelf with Ebert's HATED, HATED, HATED classic and one or two others. As a fledgling film critic myself (http://www.reel-reviews.net), it has proved incredibly helpful. I was given Joblo.Com Presents as a Christmas gift last year and I still find myself reaching for it. Highly recommended.

BEST MOVIE BOOK EVER!!!, Sep 22 2003
This review is from: Joblo.com Presents... the 50 Coolest Movies of All Time (Paperback)
I purchased this book knowing who the author is, and what I was expecting was this awesome, grand, insightful book. What I got was a smart, witty, and brillent book about movies! Do you know what the 50 coolest movies are? Well you have to find out and read the book. Each review if full of detail, along with the plot, critique, trivia about the film, and what JoBlo (Berge) liked the best about the film. If you're looking for a boring movie review book, go read something by Rodger Ebert. If you're looking for an entertaining, fun book then I definitely recommend JoBlo.com presents...The 50 Coolest Movies of All Time!
