Customer Review: Pauline Kael was right!
Kael's endorsement was good enough for me. The categories are so witty and ingenious, I wanted to solve all of them, but I'm just not maven enough. I hear S. Sondheim had no problem, though.
Customer Review: Best Movie Quiz Book Ever!
Had so much fun doing the quizzes in this book flying across the Atlantic with my husband, I was in New York before I knew it. Had to buy it for my friends. It's fun anytime but especially now with the Academy Awards this month.
