This review is from: 10 Sure Signs a Movie Character is Doomed: And Other Surprising Movie Lists (Paperback)
Given that this is a "list" book and there is very little discussion of WHY these movies were selected, I can't rate it higher. There is, as some reviewers pointed out, some obvious ratings here, but there's also some original stuff. I particularly enjoyed "Movies in Which Ben Affleck Cries Like a Big Fat Baby," the Joan Rivers' Oscar bloopers, 10 Highly Stupid Habits of Movie People," and Pop Songs on Permanent Rotation - I'd always wondered how many movies had used "Respect" or "All Star."
And his list of the worst movies ever was spot on - given that he limited it to 40.
