4.0 out of 5 stars The Midnight Show, it's worth staying up for, May 19, 2008

By	C. A. Luster "The Rook" (Burke, VA USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Being a fan of Eighties movies will help you enjoy this book, but Ken Knight gives you much more than just good reviews of the movies of the period. There is enough movie and well written additional story material that any adult should find it a good read. It has lots of insight into where we were as a culture and what we found entertaining. The beauty of this book is that it isn't just the PG stuff, but many of the wonderful adult movies as well. I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I picked up this book but I was pleasantly surprised with the detailed movie reviews of the 80s. I enjoyed a closer look at several movies I wasn't familiar with before. Ken includes several autographed photographs of some of the adult lady stars and a closer look at some of their thoughts and life styles. This may appeal slightly more to men than women but it should be of interest to ladies as well if they have any interest in what guys enjoy. It's a good resource for referring back to as a refresher as well. I recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent & enjoyable book!, May 18, 2008

I loved this book. Ken Knight is an excellent author. This brought back great memories of all of the hot babes and fun movies we all enjoyed during the 80's. The interviews with sexy Patty Duffek, Tane McClure, and Sybil Danning with the various movie reviews sure brought back great memories! It reminded you just how much you loved watching the Andy Sidaris and other babe flicks and makes you want to watch them all over again! I hope Ken writes another book similar to this one soon.
