Book Description

March 1, 1996
From undeniable Classics to mind-grating Bad Seeds. From elusive Unsung Heroes to risky Risky Calls. Complete with an easy-to-use five-pot-leaf rating system, incisive self-indulgent babble, troubleshooting procedures for the Bad Seeds gone berserk, and much much more, Baked Potatoes arrives in a blaze of glory, rating and reviewing over 150 films and videos for the discerning high.

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Blade Runner, Bambi, Repo Man, Superfly, Time Bandits, Highlander, 2001, Evil Dead II, Ganjasaurus Rex, Freaks, Cheech and Chong's Up in Smoke, The Maltese Falcon, Ronald Reagan's 1984 State of the Union Address, Gates of Heaven, Story of Ricky, The Blizzard of Aahhhs, Meet the Feebles!

Why say "No" when you can just say "Fine, I have a problem" and be done with it? Why read fiction when you can read strange but easily digestible sound-bite reviews written by marijuana users? There is no reason.

Join us for a picnic on the fried cinematic playground.

John Hulme and Michael Wexler are the editors of Voices of the Exiled and creators of the nationally syndicated radio drama Vanishing Point. Writers, filmmakers, and radio producers, they have been friends since high school.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant film guide -- not just for stoners!, October 29, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Baked Potatoes: a Pot Smoker's Guide to Film and Video (Paperback)
If you buy this book and you're a pot smoker: 1. Read the book sober first. It's extremely funny and generally accurate descriptions of films will make you want to see stuff you've probably forgotten by now. 2. Get stoned. Read it again. Mark the films that, when reviewed, make you laugh the most. 3. Rent those films. 4. Recommend book to all your friends. If you're not a stoner: All rules apply except the first part of #2.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best film guide period, June 17, 2003
By 
Nathaniel Woods (Cambridge, MA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Baked Potatoes: a Pot Smoker's Guide to Film and Video (Paperback)
This is the single best guide to film ever made; and the biggest flaw is that they've never made another sequel for recent movies.

This book can be enjoyed on two levels; on one hand, it is a film review book that has rated many different movies out there, and it is also excellent satire. I've actually bought movies that were recommended by this book.

In short, if you like movies, get this book.
