New Moon Praises Late Nights on Venus

Based on the frequently correct assumption that men and women disagree about "what is funny, romantic, adventurous, and too violent on screen," Jean Warmbold, a film buff and screenplay writer, has compiled this comprehensive listing of great "chick flicks." In other words, here's a collection of descriptions of comedies, romances, thrillers, and classics that women can really warm up to. Or as the author so cleverly puts it in her introduction, "blood relations over bloodbaths, apt wit over slapstick, mindful deed over mindless speed, and strong female characters who are no longer trapped inside a man's imagination or fantasies." Whatever you call it, it's an invaluable guide for movie viewing with your favorite girl!

Get a winner every time!

Instead of blindly searching for the perfect video to match your interests, peruse this comprehensive collection of titles and their reviews to insure you come home with a winner every time. Ms. Warmbold's reviews are thoughtful as well as insightful and a welcome help to the viewer. She includes the date, director, writer and cast of each video and film which is an added bonus to round out the background. Searching by categories aids in selection.

A guaranteed pleaser as a gift!

There's bound to be something a friend can enjoy in this! This book covers all genres of movies, and although men can certainly enjoy it, it does seem to speak to the female population. These are not "chick flicks", but almost all other movie review book are reviewed by men. These reviews by a female are very refreshing. Hope you all enjoy it as much as I have!
