BLAXPLOITATION CINEMA
The Essential Reference Guide
Written by Josiah Howard. A Super-Bad Blast from the Past! Dazzling, highly stylized, excessively violent
and brimming with sex, blaxploitation films enjoyed a brief but memorable period in motion picture history. Never before -
and never since - have so many African American performers been featured in films, not in bit parts, but in name-above-the-title
starring roles. Twenty five years after they first thrilled audiences the body of films known as blaxploitation are enjoying
a renaissance. Not only do the pictures continue to captivate film fans, but the entire genre, with its bevy of colourful,
utterly-contemporary film characters, irresistible soundtrack albums and catchy film titles, is finally taking its rightful
place among the entertainment industry's most enjoyed, and influential, movies. Directly answering the call for a new and
appreciative look back at a distinctly American motion picture phenomenon, Blaxploitation Cinema: The Essential Reference
Guide is the first truly comprehensive examination of the genre, its films, its trends and its far-reaching impact, covering
more than 240 blaxploitation films in detail. Blaxploitation Cinema: The Essential Reference Guide will become the primary
reference book on the genre, covering not just the films' heyday (1971-1976) but the entire decade (1970-1980). From Aaron
Loves Angela to The Zebra Killer, they're all here in one indispensable volume. Complimenting the text of Blaxploitation Cinema:
The Essential Reference Guide are many of the vivid, highly-theatrical, motion picture posters and ads that promoted the films.
Blaxploitation's rich and colourful poster art has been the sole subject of a number of coffee-table books. The hand-painted,
elaborately illustrated posters and ad campaigns associated with the genre represent a now-gone golden era of sensational
motion picture representation. Also features page after page of stunning action stills and original newspaper admats. In addition
to the A-to-Z reviews of blaxploitation movies, this book features interviews with ten great blaxploitation movie directors.

CINEMA SEWER
The Adults Only Guide to History's Sickest and Sexiest Movies!
Cinema Sewer is an ode to the seamier side of film and the culture which surrounds it. With an obscenely large
collection of rare press books, posters and obscure deranged movies at his disposal, author Robin Bougie has used his geek
knowledge and artistic skills as a comic book artist to give birth to this unseemly but loveable publication. Now, the celebrated
underground smash that is Cinema Sewer: The Magazine has been transformed and mutated into Cinema Sewer: THE BOOK - and it's
here to educate, entertain and infuriate! A mind-melting compilation of gonzo writing, illustrations and comics about the
most insane, sexy, awkward, cheesy, hilarious, upsetting and jaw-dropping movies in the history of film, Cinema Sewer joyously
celebrates the sleaziest aspects of the moviegoing experience, whilst delving deep into bizarre cinematic history. Robin Bougie
takes a dive to the bottom of the cesspool of horror and sexploitation, doing so in a distinctive manner that has made him
famous amongst a loyal following of cult film fans. If anything, Cinema Sewer acts as Robin's handmade journal, preserving
the DIY 'zine aesthetic and carrying it kicking and screaming into the future via articles packed with bizarre trivia and
personal insights about the movies your mama always warned you about! Softcover - 192 Pages - A FAB Press Publication.
