The Blood Poets

Summary: hardhead or hothead
Review: "Jake Horsley seems to arrive from out of nowhere, yet here he is--an almost fully-developed and only slightly stoned sensibility. This hothead fantasist offers the excitement of a wild, paranoid style. he lives in the movies, explodes them from the inside, and shares his fevered trance with us. But he doesn't lose his analytic good sense. he's not just a hothead, he's a hardhead, too. Maybe he could use more humor, but couldn't we all? (Intelligent movie criticism is being swamped in seriousness.) He's a marvelous critic. Tackling a new movie, he'll hang in there until he's balanced and sound. It's always a surprise."-Pauline Kael,

Review: Although the book may get some what dilirious at some points it certanly shoes a more alternative revue to alot of movies that we all thought where out there. You get a feeling that the author is in one way trying to distroy Hollywood but still shoes appraisiasion to Hollywood movies. I would get it to show you an alternative side to movie revues.
