Sellevision: A Novel 136 reviews Augusten Burroughs
Picador, 2003
Another Great Showing From Burroughs
+ Good first try
Sellevision was recommended to me by a friend, who suggested the book because I love the writing of Max Barry (of Company and Syrup fame). It turned out to be a great match.
Sellevision is a hilarious book -- simultaneously dark humored and lighthearted. It follows the lives of four hosts on the ...

Current Affairs - A Life On The Edge 2 reviews Maury Povich
Putnam Adult, 1991
Maury Povich is very smart and witty-he kept my attention.
+ Connie's one lucky lady
The book is an autobiography, however it was also a little-how to put it-true crime like, he being a news journalist, one might exspect that. The style of writing seems to be that of someone who is very good at speaking out loud. He also had this habit of jumping from subject to subject-which I ...

Nature Girl 153 reviews Carl Hiaasen
Grand Central Publishing, 2007
Great Weekend Read
+ Nonstop, wild ride + Not as bad as some of the reviews.
This book was an entertaining distraction from real life. Throughout the book I was excited to how the characters came colliding together in a hilarious situation born out of their own ineptness. This book is a funny tribute to human nature and Florida beauty. It was a great diversion for me ...

Ringmaster! 53 reviews Jerry Springer, Laura Morton

Just a few remarks from a viewer over in Scandinavia
With 49 reviews currently in here, I don't need to go in depth on this one. I am sure that premise, synopsis etc. has been discussed at length by prior reviewers.
This movie happened on me a few days ago, as leaves on trees clouded my sattelite dish and all I could receive was national ...

Jerry Springer: Undressed, Unleashed and Uncensored, Vol. 1 3 reviews Jerry Springer
Lions Gate, 2008
Rude, Crude, with No Socially Redeeming Features and Worth Every Penny
+ For the Springer lover
While this DVD was actually filmed in 2004, it has just become available to the general market. Prior to this time, it was available only as a pay per view item and that excluded a lot of potential viewers. The DVD contains three shows, filmed at a rate of one a month and each is about 55 minutes ...

God Laughs When You Die 4 reviews Michael Boatman
Dybbuk Press, LLC, 2007
A Wonderful Debut
+ fast, violent, and unsympathetic + Dark, Skanky, Funky Little Twisted Tales: Performance Art
Michael Boatman's debut collection is not one to miss by any means. He blends humor with horror, the strange with the unknown--and I loved it!
Reading through the pages, it just slipped right through my fingers, and before I knew it I was done with the book begging for there to be more. This is a ...

We Are Family 2 reviews Stephen Bishop, Maury Povich
Tommy Boy, 2002
Very inspiring
+ This is a rather impressive documentary
I really loved this because it was stripped down and REAL. None of the huge celebs in it had on make-up or wore flashy clothes. It was just them and there were tons of them. Diana Ross, Phoebe Snow, Bernadette Peters, Patti LaBelle, Eartha Kitt, Bebe Buell, Spike Lee, Dionne Warwick, Nile Rodgers, ...

For those unfamiliar with Something Weird Video, they specialize in releasing forgotten low-budget movies; their DVD's feature a plethora of bonuses that will keep collector geeks amused for hours on end. If your idea of horror is big-budget CGI-fests like Underworld and Freddy vs. Jason, you will ...
