If You Ask Me: The Collected Columns of America's Most Beloved and Irresponsible Critic

Hi. Im Libby Gelman-Waxner and Im an assistant buyer in juniors activewear. While I find my work both rewarding and creative especially with the new knits coming in I want more. And so I decided to become a film critic..... Move over Siskel & Ebert. Watch out Leonard Maltin. And just forget saving that aisle seat Mr. Medved. Libby Gelman-Waxner has arrived -- in the critics circle that is -- and the silver screen may never be the same again. Witty wicked and scathingly honest -- If You Ask Me is a hilarious collection of her columns from Premiere magazine. Just listen to Libby on some recent films and film stars:. Prince of Tides -- Barbras only spontaneous moment in Prince of Tides comes when Nick tosses her a football and she screams My nails!. Diane Keaton -- Shes a pioneer; she takes that thing that hangs in the back of your closet the thing that was too marked down to pass up Diane takes that thing and she doesnt call Goodwill she wraps it around her head a few times pins on a Smurf brooch and wins an Oscar..... The Last of the Mohicans -- Daniel Day-Lewis makes American actors look like giggly junior high school boys playing Nintendo during the prom; at one point Madeleine asks Daniel what he is looking at and he says Im looking at you Miss and let me tell you the usher had to conk me with his flashlight to make me stop whimpering..... Daryl Hannah -- All men in America my Josh included they all want a date with Daryl Hannah. A girl like Daryl -- were not talking about a Ph.D. in comparative literature; I think were talking about hair in the eyes and not much in the way of lingerie....
