An odd book. The title on the cover says "Oliver Reed: Ten Top Movies", but the LT listing is "Movie Top 10". The author's listing says he writes in the genres of cinema, horror and erotica, and this listing of Reed's "top 10 movies" is clearly a personal one rather than his most famous or acclaimed movies. So you do have essays on "Women in Love", "The Devils" and "I'll Never Forget What'sIs Name", but instead of "Tommy", which the author calls "monstrous", the reader gets an essay on "Venom", an almost laughable movie. Instead of "Gladiator" or "The Three Musketeers" or "The Assassination Bureau", the author chooses "The Brood" and "The Hunting Party". The essays stick to the movies plots and there are plenty of photos. I'd recommend this to the Reed fan.… (más)
