Queued! The Best and Worst of Netflix in 101 Independent Movie Reviews, Vol. 1









"Queued" features 101 movie reviews by film critic Christopher Smith, whose 14 years as a film critic at a major Northeast daily newspaper has produced more than 4,000 movie reviews. Since Smith often is asked by readers, "What should I add to my Netflix queue?," he has begun a series of ebooks called "Queued!" Each volume will act as a guide to cut through the literally hundreds of thousands of movies featured on Netflix, as well as other online DVD rental retailers, such as Blockbuster and Wal-mart.

"Queued!" gives you a solid idea of what movies you absolutely should add to your queue, and what movies you absolutely should leave queueless.

Several major films are reviewed here, but what Smith set out to accomplish is to suggest films you might have heard of only in passing, or perhaps not at all, but which absolutely are worth your time.

Mixed into this group of reviews are some less-favorable choices, movies that receive such a massive financial push from the studios, the very idea that they’ve become part of the landscape suggests they might be worth viewing.

And so you rent them. And a sour feeling overcomes you when you realize you’ve been had. While this book focuses mainly on what you should add to your queue, a handful of some well-known yet terrible films have been selected to help save you time and disappointment.

As a bonus, these particular reviews tend to be the most fun to read.

With this first volume of "Queued!," Smith's hope is that you find movies that offer escape, insight and entertainment.
