Yes, a long title, but one that sums up the contents of this over 300 page book rather well. I first heard about it in an interview with its writer Michael Adams. He’s the reviews editor for Empire magazine, one of my fave mags, with its diverse writing and criticisms on not just blockbusters, but sadly largely ignored foreign, indie and arthouse films too.
Adams set himself the task of watching a bad film every day for a year; along the way compiling and comparing the results. This book is the culmination of that impressive effort and from the pages I’ve flicked through it looks like it’ll be a wildly entertaining and hilarious read. Once I’ve happily trawled through it, expect a full review. For now, if you like discovering guilty pleasures and laughing at films that were never intended to be comedies, you might want to pick up a copy yourself. It’s only $10!
