Summary: The Rediscovery of Ed Wood
Comment: Unlike so many of the sequels which receive awards in this work, this sequel to the "50 Worst Films of all Time" exceeds the original. The Medveds have the huge advantage of having tapped into the huge underground "bad film" cult and discovered a motherlode of new bad films, of which Ed Wood's "Plan Nine from Outer Space" is the standout. (In turn this inspired the Tim Burton film.) Others include Night of the Lepus (a rabbit monster movie), Airport 79: The Concorde (winner of the worst romantic dialogue), and "Him" (the least erotic adult film ever made). When I was young I read this book from cover to cover and am still wondering whether the final claim, that one of the films exposed therein was a hoax, was itself true, and if so, which one. Surely not "They Saved HItler's Brain?" (Actually, that WAS real....)

Summary: Medved's Only Good Book
Comment: The Golden Turkey Awards is a well-written, funny review of some of the most inane and stupid movies that Hollywood has ever produced. Michael Medved was onto something here, but in later years he sold out by becoming somewhat of a whiny right wing critic of Hollywood. It's hard for me to decide between him and John Stossel (of ABC's 20/20) which one is in more dire need of a sharp blow upside the head with a 2 x 4.
