The cover shows almost no wear and looks fresh and sharp. The text is entirely free of marks, notes and underlining. The only real defect is some minor water damage, which gives a little waviness to the bottoms of the last hundred pages. -------------------------------------------In his publicity photo Anthony Lane looks as dull and self ... read more

"A collection of his reviews from the New Yorker. Dry humor done the way only Brits can do it."

"Lane writes like a love child of Pauline Kael and P.G. Wodehouse, passionate & insightful about movies and very funny, with some Woosterlike turns of phrase that bring tears to my eyes. These are mostly collected New Yorker film reviews from the 1990s and early 2000s, but they hold up well, especially the droll putdowns of pretentious turkeys."

By Frankie, Los Angeles, CA

"He writes with a light classy touch but is still completely unafraid to "work blue", much like a genteel Englishman who likes to slum in the Whitechapel District boozing and whoring when the fleet's in.
His self-deprecation is winning. Theres nothing like a critic cringing with self-doubt and who can't help telling you about it as therapy at our expense."

""What is the point of Demi Moore?" I <3 Anthony Lane. Other than the question of Demi Moore, the review of Halloween H20 is the best piece so far, mostly because it steps into "personal essay" territory and is really quite moving. I picked this up at a stoop sale and haven't finished it yet but am psyched to read the rest, especially the profiles at the end (Preston Sturges, Billy Wilder, et al.)"
