Richard Roeper

Debunked!: Conspiracy Theories, Urban Legends, and Evil Plots of the 21st Century

Richard Roeper

Chicago Review Press, 2008

Fun read
This was a fun informative read. It makes you shake your head to think that so many people buy into the strangest theories about how something happened rather than going to the most practical and common place. I guess people don't want simple and common place. My only ...

Hollywood Urban Legends: The Truth Behind Alll Those Delightfully Persistent Myths of Film, Television, and ...

Richard Roeper

New Page Books, 2002

Recommended reading!
My wife and I first heard this book being promoted on television and as avid readers of entertainment publications and books, I figured that I would give Richard Roeper's second book on "Urban Legends" a try. Once I received the book and started reading a few pages, I ...

10 Sure Signs a Movie Character is Doomed

Richard Roeper

Hyperion, 2003

The man knows movies.
Mr. Roeper did a good job with this book. It was truly humorous and enjoyable. I also learned about what good movies have been made over the years, and also ones to avoid. Sometimes I didn't agree but I feel better equipped to go to the video rental store.

He Rents, She Rents: The Ultimate Guide to the Best Women's Films and Guy Movies

Richard Roeper, Laurie Viera

St. Martin's Griffin, 1999

Hysterical -- absolutely cannot live without .
We love this book - it is a humorous book not to be shelved within the confines of "video directories." Ever since Adam and Eve have the sexes disagreed over almost everything but one of the biggest issues men and women (at least the men I date never agree upon are ...

Schlock Value: Hollywood at Its Worst

Richard Roeper

Hyperion, 2005

I Beg to Differ
The first reviewer takes film far too seriously. Modern cinema is most decidedly not "our greatest art form." Sheesh! Most of what comes out of Hollywood these days is mindless pap. That's not to say that a lot of it is not entertaining. Even some of the stupid stuff ...

Urban Legends: The Truth Behind All Those Deliciously Entertaining Myths That Are Absolutely, Positively, ...

Richard Roeper

New Page Books, 2001

History Is Myth....Or....?
In this book there are many of those Urban Legends that we've heard of that have been circulating since we can remember. And, there are also many tales that we haven't heard of. Today we get most of these myths via email, but before email came to be, I remember ...
