100
Nights in the Dark is a collection of 100 humorous, insightful
film reviews and essays by renowned critic Joe Barlow. Want the low-down
on a particular film before you pop it into your VCR? Barlow tells
you which recent films are worth seeing, which you should skip, and
which will require years of painful therapy should you view them.
Best of all, he does it in the same playful, irreverent style that
has made him one of the Internet's most popular critics. Some of the films targeted in this volume: The Avengers, Batman and Robin, Blade, Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo, Eyes Wide Shut, Hope Floats, Never Been Kissed, Patch Adams, The Rage: Carrie 2, The Tigger Movie, and You've Got Mail. Essays include: The Enduring Appeal of the Star Wars Saga, an interview/retrospective with filmmaker Roger Corman, A Farewell to Mystery Science Theater 3000, and more.
