Summary: 1 White Geezer thinks this book is Really Cool!
Review: Having recently run across this movie guide, it sure is darn good! Even though I've never heard of most of the movies reviewed, this guide, is great fun to browse through, and check out some flicks one may have seen, or is thinking of viewing. Though it concentrates mostly on recent (say post-1990) movies, there are other classics reviewed , and the comments are usually right on! There are 4 great Gene Kelly 1940's - 50's musicals , and all given the royal treatment, with the reviewer in awe of the late great Gene! Recent hits like GLADIATOR are also given some nice reviews. And a very old one (1916) is given a proper 3 Red Star thrashing (The BIRTH OF A NATION). 2 Classics with a strong "Black" shade were not reviewed, but really should have:CASABLANCA and GONE WITH WIND. Just a few quibbles make it an even better and fun read!

Summary: This book is better than them potato chips!
Review: I bought the book just because... I wasn't really *expecting* that much to come if it, although I do have the authors' website bookmarked for me to read before I visit the movies (about 3 times a week myself). Still, I bought the book, and in two days, the edges were all messed up. I had read it that much. Every person I showed the book took had to have the book snatched from them, since they were so into the book, and would just go from movie review to movie review. The reviews are not stuffy or stodgy... like someone saying 'I'm so intelligent and I know better than you do what you should like or not like'. Instead, with the 3 Chicks (that just *happen* to be Black), it's like sitting across a card table or else at the family picnic and talking about what we like, don't like, and it's so easy to find 'Yeah, that's what I liked about it, too... and what I didn't like that I couldn't put my finger on'. People reading the book were like me: they were hooked, quickly! I have just bought five more copies of the book to give as gifts - I want MY book for me. .... my foot is tapping. I'm ready for the next volume, Ladies!

Summary: Film Food For The Mind
Review: I highly recommend this book! It is as insightful and funny as their popular web site. Very nice to see movies reviewed from an African-American point of view.

Summary: Not just for black chicks...
Review: If you love movies, you'll love "3 Black Chicks Review Flicks." Besides being funny and presenting a great rating system, these women are intelligent and able to express themselves perfectly in talking about movies. Their reviews are honest and real and cross the boundries of sex and race, thus presenting valuable insight. This is 1 white chick who loves those 3 black chicks!

Summary: A Flashing, Flashing Green Light
Review: What a great book! Don't miss it -- it's hysterical and refreshingly irreverent, yet still intelligent enough to make good points about the movies being discussed. I liked seeing reviews of "Auntie Mame" and "All About Eve" mixed in with more current releases. We're looking forward to their next book. Be ready to laugh out loud, especially when reading about "Movies That Just Plain Suck."
