Obsessed with Hollywood - Great Movie Trivia Product!!! March 26, 2008

Obssessed With... Hollywood: Test Your Knowledge of the Silver Screen (Obsessed With) (Obsessed With...)
I'm so glad I finally got this movie trivia book! I passed over this book a few times over the holidays, but now that I've finally gotten myself a copy and taken time to read it / play with it, I'm wishing I would have gotten this earlier. I definitely could have seen giving this as a gift to my fellow movie junkies. And I would have certainly enjoyed playing this myself some more if I would have gotten it earlier.
This book is packed with very good film trivia questions, though not too difficult. Over my first couple of hours of playing I was at about %50. Definitely easy enough to keep my interest and challenging enough to joggle my memory.
The lower right corner houses an electronic answer box that randomly gives you question numbers to flip to. You also use this box to answer questions, and it gives you instant feedback and tracks your accuracy.
The book itself, while solid, could have been put together better. The bookstore had a few copies where the electronic answer box had broken free from the book. In addition, after playing for a while I've come to think the binding is too tight. A spiral binding would have made flipping through the questions easier.
Regardless, the content is very good and this thing is surprisingly addictive. If you love movie trivia and want something fun to kill a few hours, this will do it.
They've also got a similar book about Baseball which I also bought. Obsessed with...Baseball: Test Your Knowledge of America's Pastime (Obsessed With...) I would definitely look into this series for other topics. This may not be as cool for home use as some of the newer multimedia trivia games, like the various "Scene It" games Scene It? Movie Travel DVD Game. Still, this book is very portable and well designed with great content. At the price of around $16-$17, it's not a bad value.
Definitely give this one a try.
Enjoy!!!
Lots of fun for movie buffs February 13, 2008

Never mind Hollywood, you will be obsessed with this book. Be careful, because if you have a relatively advanced knowledge of movies and Hollywood lore, be ready to spend the afternoon flipping pages and answering questions. Very cool idea.

Its a game, its a book, its just plan fun. YOu don't have to be obsessed with film, Hollywood or Brittany to enjoy this great find. More than a book, its a great parlor game. Any group- young or old will enjoy the multiple choice question and answer format of this clever book. Just open to any page- punch in the question and your answer selection from the A/B/C/D format. Now puch it into the handy elctronic gadget attached to the book. It will let you know if you are right or wrong and direct you to the next level question.
Its most fun with a group- Maybe your lunch crowd. A great way to pass the time. Great conversation starter- leave it out on the coffee table for anytime fun.
