A wide-ranging record of 21st-century moviegoing
Kurt Loder gathers more than 200 film reviews originally published on MTV.com and the Reason magazine website, supplemented by sidebars prepared for this volume. The selection ranges across Hollywood and independent releases, framing the book as a substantial snapshot of early-21st-century screen culture rather than a guide to a single genre or movement. Its organizing contrast—movies deemed good, bad, and “godawful”—makes room for both appreciation and pointed criticism, while Loder’s background in music journalism and television supplies context for the collection’s media-facing perspective. At 560 pages, it offers an extensive archive of opinions on the films that occupied the period’s popular conversation.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Film enthusiasts interested in a large collection of contemporary movie criticism
- Readers who follow both Hollywood and independent cinema
- Fans of Kurt Loder’s MTV and music-journalism work

The former Rolling Stone writer and MTV host takes off from classic Roger Ebert and sails boldly into the new millennium.
Millions grew up reading the author's record reviews and watching him on MTV's "The Week in Rock." In this collection of more than 200 movie reviews from MTV.com and, more recently, the Reason magazine Website, plus sidebars exclusive to this volume, Loder demonstrates his characteristic wry voice and finely honed observations. The author shines when writing on the best that Hollywood and indie filmmakers have to offer, and his negative reviews are sometimes more fun than his raves. This freewheeling survey of the wild, the wonderful and the altogether otherwise is an indispensable book for any film buff.
