Found this review from Forces of Geek in my newsfeed, thought it might be of interest to folks here.
Cinema Bizarro is a very good book about (mostly) bad movies.
The fact that such all-time turkeys as Robot Monster and The Navy vs. the Night Monsters are treated with an equal level of respect to such genuine genre classics as Invasion of the Body Snatchers and The Blob says a lot about the mindset of these reviews.
A book for kids covering everything from 7 Faces of Dr Lao to Woman Eater!
