Title: ‘This is THE book for movie fans. How do we know? Because we love movies too!'
Review: Co-authors Bill O’Neill and Steve Murray are both prolific writers – and they love to explore all manner of subjects form reiku to trivia. They have gathered fascinating facts about movies and movie stars and movie characters and have arranged these into Sections on THE MOVIE STARS (Leonardo Di Caprio, Bill Murray, Heath Ledger, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jenifer Lawrence, Nicole Kidman etc), MOVIES as movies (Fight Club, Die Hard, Pirates of the Caribbean, Indiana Jones, 300, etc), SCIENCE FICTION/FANTASY (Wizard of Oz, E.T., Harry Potter, Avatar, Planet of the Apes, etc), DIRECTOR’S CUT (find out who falls into the categories of legends, visionaries, perfectionists, rebels, American Icon, etc), ANYTHING FOR A LAUGH (Austin Powers, The Hangover, The Big Lebowski, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Clerks, etc), DRAMATIC TURNS ( Gangs of New York, The Deer Hunter, Eyes Wide Shut, Boyhood, etc) and BITS AND BITES (odd diets, before they were famous, strange inspiration, danger on the set, and much much more). Each section is followed with a Random Fun Facts and a quiz of sorts.An example of their style – STRANGE DIETS: There are many vegetarians and vegans running around Hollywood, from Natalie Portman to Woody Harrelson. Leonardo DiCaprio is a vegetarian but he gave that up for a moment on the set of ‘The Revenant.’ Concerned that the jelly bison liver that the props department had made didn’t look genuine enough, DiCaprio opted on eating the real thing instead. After it was cleared by his lawyers and agents, Leo bit in and had this to say: “The bad part is the membrane around it. It’s like a balloon. When you bite into it, it bursts in your mouth.” He also said he’d never do that again. He should have taken a word of advice from Jules in ‘Pulp Fiction’... “Sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I’d never know, ‘cause I’d never eat the filthy muthaf** ka.” Samuel L. Jackson is a vegetarian in real life too. Ashton Kutcher took it to the next level for his role as Steve Jobs. He mimicked Jobs’ fruitarian diet but didn’t do it correctly and was briefly hospitalized for pancreatic pain. Heard of the Marilyn Monroe diet? Apparently, she started her day with two raw eggs whipped in warm milk. She’d then skip lunch and would eat a huge dinner of boiled liver, steak, or lamb, and five carrots. Desert was a hot fudge sundae.’This is fun, informative, gossipy, and a very entertaining read! Keep it hand for both one-ups-man-ship, comic relief, and a fine chuckle. Grady Harp, March 17

Title: Great fun - movie trivia galore!
Review: What a fun book! I love trivia, especially movie trivia, and this book has it all. Most I had never heard of, too. There were also quizzes and little known facts about actors/actresses. It also talks about sound effects, different things actors/actresses did to get roles, or just plain interesting facts about different movies. Did you know that Brad Pitt is banned from China? I had no clue! Some other facts were just plain weird, like putting bologna in shoes and one who was a lion tamer and one who was a clown for parties. So many facts. I loved this book! It was great fun and an easy read. I would love to read more.

Title: Fun facts, fun question, and fun to read
Review: Movie Trivia Madness, by Bill O’Neill and Steve Murray, may not include facts about your favorite movie, actor or director. But, if you love (or even watch) movies, it’s sure to include something about someone or some movie you’ve seen and remembered. Anecdotes about directors' pranks perhaps, or actors who go too hauntingly deep into method … reminders not to give Jack Nicholson a cheese sandwich … The stories will give you plenty to laugh about, snippets to amuse and annoy your friends, and maybe even validation of some of your pet theories, all told in a lightly conversational voice, and accompanied with questions and answers to “test” your knowledge or just keep you satisfied that you guessed right. There’s even a f-bomb count.Well-presented, with sections and stories that follow on naturally, pleasingly broken up with questions and answers, Movie Trivia Madness is both a curious resource for movie aficionados, and a surprisingly good read for the rest of us … with more to follow!Disclosure: I got it on a deal and enjoyed reading it.
