To support the site, consider picking up a copy of Mine’s Bigger Than Yours: The 100 Wackiest Action Movies. It’s for fans of Cannon Films, and those taciturn one-name action movie grunters, Seagal, Norris, Schwarzenegger, etc.
But it also showcases the genre’s lesser lights, such as Reb Brown, Brian Thompson, Brian Bosworth, Vic Diaz, and the ubiquitous Cameron Mitchell.
If you like tough talking toothpick chewers, choppers that blow up, shoot outs in abandoned warehouses, and mysterious Asian heroin syndicates, Mine’s Bigger Than Yours! The 100 Wackiest Action Movies makes an excellent gift for the action movie buff in your household/life.
Bonus: the foreword’s written by Australian action genre Ozploitation king, Brian Trenchard-Smith, director of Strike of the Panther, Turkey Shoot, and Stunt Rock.
DEATH BY UMBRELLA! The 100 Weirdest Horror Movie Weapons (2016) is a must for horror completists, especially for fans who enjoy unique kills.
LA Weekly called the book, “rich with context and analysis…gruesome [yet] all in good fun…a celebration of the genre.”
Rue Morgue said, “…what separates Death by Umbrella! from your run-of-the-mill glossary is the amount of heart and appreciation within its pages…Recommended for gorehounds, list-lovers and trivia fiends…”
UK Horror Scene commented that, DEATH BY UMBRELLA! is”…a fascinating read…a gleeful yet insightful look into the world of movie gore…”
Thanks for reading. And keep an eye out for new reviews of horror, action and other genre films every Monday.
