Review: Movies in Fifteen Minutes by Cleolinda Jones
It's been a while since I read this, but I remember reading it in one sitting. My sister and I are both big fans of Cleolinda from her Livejournal and her previous Movies in 15 Minutes.
The ones in the book are not available online and include the first Harry Potter and the whole Lord of the Rings trilogy. They are very entertaining and most make me literally laugh out loud. They have a short-story quality to them so that you can easily read one of the movies in about 20 minutes.
They are written exactly like the ones on the internet, in a script like format. I really enjoy her voice. I recommend this to anyone who likes her movies in 15 minutes, as well as anyone who is a movies fan and needs a good laugh at the tropes and idiosyncrasies.
Originally posted on GR in Jun 2010. God I miss these. Cleolinda hasn't done a new one since the Avengers. She still has one more Twilight as well, and holy shit were those good. Her Twilight book recaps were the best ever. The Breaking Dawn ones... oh god the lolz. I started reading Twilight to see what the fuss was about, and didn't find the first book too too bad. New Moon made me eye roll and Eclipse made me rage slam the book multiple times... so I wasn't going to touch Breaking Dawn. Reading her summary I didn't have to :D
