The Greatest Reviews I’ve Ever Read

Carol Hoenig

4.9/5 (20979 ratings)

Description:Emmy-award winner John Barbour wasn't beholden to any network or its advertisers, so he could hate or love the films he reviewed for LA Magazine and Critic-at-Large for five years at KTTV without holding back. Without a doubt, he was one of the wittiest critics whose reviews sometimes got him in hot water, but having had an abusive mother and absentee father, being a high school dropout, and deported back to Canada at 17 years old, angering studio heads or disgruntled actors like Burt Reynolds and Charlton Heston didn't concern John. However, it was Lucille Ball who said, “Aside from the writers of our show, (Here’s Lucy) my favorite writer is John Barbour. Every first of the month, Gary (Morton), my husband and I fight over who gets to read his reviews first.”Even though the reviews are from the ‘70’s, the movies John reviewed are often seen on Classic TV, which led to author Carol Hoenig thinking viewers would appreciate John’s thoughts and honesty regarding them, whether they are decades-old or newer releases. She asked John if he still had those reviews. Thankfully, he managed to unearth them from his trunk, having forgotten about all those issues with his byline where he informed readers about classics such as Network, Grease, The Sting and so many others. What followed were conversations between John and Carol about movies, the industry, actors he appreciated and those he thought lacked talent. What followed was The Greatest Reviews I’ve Ever Read where readers will be entertained with each turning page that includes photos and some laugh out-loud commentary.CAROL HOENIG is President of Carol Hoenig, Publishing Consultant, Inc. and the author of her multi-award winning novel, WITHOUT GRACE, OF LITTLE FAITH, and THE AUTHOR’S GUIDE TO PLANNING BOOK EVENTS. Her essays, articles, book reviews and short stories appear in a wide number of publications. JOHN BARBOUR is recognized as ‘The Godfather of Reality TV’ as the creator-producer, co-host, and writer of the trendsetting hit Real People. He won the first of his 5 Emmys as the original Host of ‘AM LA’ in 1970 where he interviewed controversial anti-war guests like Mohammad Ali, Cesar Chavez and Jane Fonda. He was the first in America to do film reviews on the news, winning 3 more consecutive Emmys as KNBC’s Critic-At-Large and ten years as Los Angeles Magazine’s most widely read and quoted controversial critic. Prior to that he was a successful topical stand-up comedian, appearing on The Dean Martin Show, The Tonight Show, and others. He is the author of Your Mother’s Not a Virgin: The Bumpy Life and Times of the Canadian Dropout Who Changed the Face of American TV and The Wittiest Man in America…Is the Canadian. His films include The American Media and the Second Assassination of President John F. Kennedy, The Garrison Tapes and Ernie Kovaks: Television’s Original Genius. Most recently, John hosts a podcast, Talking Movies, and has interviewed Eddie Muller, Mike Farrell, Ed Asner (just days prior to his passing) and others.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
