Shit, Actually: The Definitive, 100% Objective Guide to Modern Cinema by Lindy West
4.0
#bookreview
First off thank you to @librofm and @hachetteaudio for the ALC copy of #shitactually by @thelindywest
Secondly I would like to take you to my second job I ever had, and one of the best jobs for a 17-22 year old kid to have! #marcuscinema I made some of the best friends here and I still have them in my life well over 10 years after I started working there. Hence the photo taken of the aforementioned movie theater!
Shit Actually was Sooooo entertaining! And once again Lindy’s audiobook narration skills are FIRE! Even if she came for my favorite Christmas movie with a butcher knife! #notcool #loveactually
As a former self proclaimed “movie buff” (can you really work at a cinema and not think this about yourself?!) I found her commentary on popular, and in some cases cult classic, films to be ridiculously honest and accurate! I particularly enjoy her breakdowns in action movies starring Nicholas Cage. I Adored the Rush Hour review because damnit she was so right about the racism and bigotry running rampant here that movie still slaps!
This is a book that it would be a pretty good idea to have some knowledge of the movies she discusses herein but I think even if you aren’t too familiar you’ll still be highly entertained. My rating is 9 out of 10 DVD’s of the Fugative (which is coincidentally the only film in this book I have not seen before, but I will be rectifying!) and on goodreads 4/5
