About this ebook
"A large portion of this money, we of course have now learned, was put toward the scientific enterprise of discovering a new planet in the solar system and then, no other way to describe it, blowing it up."
A fun and poignant collection of real reviews of fake movies by some of today's best and brightest writers.
What seems like a funny, whimsical book, is actually an acute look at how cultural criticism works, what we find important or unimportant, and how movies help shape our world.
Featuring writers like, Kevin Wilson (author of The Family Fang), Antoine Wilson (author of Panorama City), Comedian Sofiya Alexandra, and many, many, more.
