Has anybody else read it or have it? Any thoughts? Info is appreciated! "The world's going to change tonight, doctor, I'm glad you'll be able to watch it. And... happy Halloween."

He goes through the films year by year. If he likes a film, his write-ups sometimes contain interesting angles; if he dislikes it, his dismissal usually doesn't add to the understanding about the film. And as I recall, it's more from the pov of reviews as opposed to production information about the films. Occasionally funny. So, for me it was a mixed bag. He does have decent coverage of 70's horror, but I don't think it's complete in terms of all films released. My God, what's Bond doing?... I think he's attempting re-entry, sir. http://www.eccentric-cinema.com/ Cole's Comics: All About Jack Cole http://colescomics.blogspot.com/

The plot summaries are kind of long and pad the book a bit, but the commentaries are pretty thorough. I've had quite a few "Hmmm I never thought of that" moments.
