Review
The tone of the volume is buoyant and slangy, faithfully reproducing the slick terms for which the magazine is famous. If you don't know what "hoofology" is, if you wouldn't know a "shutterbug," a "megger," or a "yahoo" if you tripped over him, Elley provides a glossary of every zaftig phrase in the book. Though it shows signs of being rushed hastily through the press, the guide is a worthy friend to movie lovers, particularly if you are interested in mainstream films. You will find detailed commentary on independent, low budget, and foreign pics, but the tastes of the directory are geared primarily toward blockbusters and crowd pleasers. --Raphael Efrem Shargel
