Back Shelf Beauties is the perfect guide to all the movies you want to rent on video and DVD. When you've seen all the new releases, Back Shelf Beauties brings you forgotten films, lost movies from your favorite stars and classic films that you have never seen. It includes films from modern day stars like John Travolta and Gwyneth Paltrow, but also films from classic movie legends like Humphrey Bogart, Spencer Tracy, Sidney Potier and Ingrid Bergman. Willie Waffle brings insight, historical background and a sense of humor to his reviews that seperates him from other, stuffy, know-it-all critics. Whether you are a film buff, or just someone who wants to be entertained for a couple of hours, these movies are for you.

This review is from: Back Shelf Beauties: Movies You Should Rent When The New Stuff Is Gone (Paperback)
Movie critic Willie Waffle has produced a delightful guide for people who want to get past the "new releases" shelf at the video store and find something that may have missed the multiplex. Waffle's astonishing range and engaging descriptions make this book an indispensible reference and as much fun as the movies he writes about.

This review is from: Back Shelf Beauties: Movies You Should Rent When The New Stuff Is Gone (Paperback)
I found this book a welcome gift. It was very helpful when picking out films I could enjoy with the grand-children. Thank-you, Willie, for the often humorous reviews.
I sometimes see Willie on our local FOX-TV station, and he's very easy to relate to.

Laugh-Out-Loud Funny !,
By Penguin Boy (Charleston, SC USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Back Shelf Beauties: Movies You Should Rent When The New Stuff Is Gone (Paperback)
I just received this as a gift, and it's a great, humorous resource for movies you might not think about first when visiting the video store or scanning those on-demand listing on cable. A lot of the review had me laughing out loud. I always enjoy reading his current reviews online. A great resource for your film library.
