Predator - The Unofficial Guide to the Movie Franchise by Nick Naughton Pdf

Predator is a product of the last great era of Hollywood action films - the eighties. A decade of bone crunching blood splattered foul mouthed blockbuster epics (Robocop, The Terminator, Die Hard, Commando) that wouldn't know what a PG-13 rating was if it skewered them with a spear and ripped their spinal column out to keep as a trophy (as the Predator is apt to do on occasion). In this book we'll take a deep dive into the original Predator and all the sequels it spawned. We'll discuss all of these films in this book and we shall also - of course - discuss the two AvP pictures too. We'll look at the background of each film, the development of them, and discuss worked and what didn't in the actual movie.

More than a decade since the last of the films was released, theTwilight Saga remains a pop culture sensation. Much of the conversation around it has changed over the years as its primary fanbase has grown into adulthood. Many have called into question the details that kept the public swooning.

The Binge Watcher’s Guide to the Twilight Saga aims to explore this work with a critical and respectful eye as you watch. Consider it your slightly judgmental best friend. This guide also includes movie trivia, soundtrack lists, and the series’ Lore. It’s a one stop shop to all you need to know about the films.

Predators by Marc Andreyko Pdf

Action-packed, blood-drenched lead-ins introduce the main characters from the film, played by Adrien Brody and Laurence Fishburne, and set up Rodriguez's reboot of the Predator film franchise by showing how the characters fought for their lives and arrived on the Predators' alien planet. Then, after an adaptation of the film itself, find out what happened to the surviving characters immediately after the movie, when they were stranded on the hostile world with only each other -- and the faint hope of escape -- to help them outlast the Predators.

Beautiful Monsters by David McIntee Pdf

The end of the 1970s was a turning point for science fiction and horror films. A new film would blend these genres together into a cinematic experience that would cross boundries, and which would feature a villain that audiences and critics alike would find far scarier than the knife wielding antics of Michael Myers or Jason and Pamela Voorhees That film was Alicn. In this unofficial companion, David McIntee takes us behind the scenes to reveal how the Alien films were developed, what their influences and antecedents were, and how they have continued to develop and influence to this day. We also take in the popular Predator films and see how, through various ranges of spin off merchandise, we arrived at the 2004 clash of the titans, the long awaited Alicn vs Predator movie. This book takes you further than ever before into the domain of the beautiful monsters. Book jacket.

Beautiful Monsters by Michael Long Pdf

Beautiful Monsters explores the ways in which "classical" music made its way into late twentieth-century American mainstream culture—in pop songs, movie scores, and print media. Beginning in the 1960s, Michael Long's entertaining and illuminating book surveys a complex cultural field and draws connections between "classical music" (as the phrase is understood in the United States) and selected "monster hits" of popular music. Addressing such wide-ranging subjects as surf music, Yiddish theater, Hollywood film scores, Freddie Mercury, Alfred Hitchcock, psychedelia, rap, disco, and video games, Long proposes a holistic musicology in which disparate musical elements might be brought together in dynamic and humane conversation. Beautiful Monsters brilliantly considers the ways in which critical commonplaces like nostalgia, sentiment, triviality, and excess might be applied with greater nuance to musical media and media reception. It takes into account twentieth-century media's capacity to suggest visual and acoustical depth and the redemptive possibilities that lie beyond the surface elements of filmic narrative or musical style, showing us what a truly global view of late twentieth-century music in its manifold cultural and social contexts might be like.

Predator by Alexander Kontorovich Pdf

Когда на улицы Таркова опускается тьма, когда обычные люди, вчера ещё бывшие добрыми соседями, начинают убивать друг друга за банку консервов. Когда привычный порядок в одночасье сменяется диким беспределом… Обычный офисный хомяк внезапно превращается в жестокого и безжалостного Хищника. Клавиатура отброшена в сторону, в руках — тяжелый дробовик. Возврата к прошлому больше нет, остаётся только одно — стать самым страшным зверем в этих каменных джунглях. Добро пожаловать в Тарков! Эта книга написана под впечатлением от игры «Escape from Tarkov». Посмотрим поближе на одного из участников — Дикого! И если про метаморфозы уголовников все понятно, то как Диким становится обычный человек, вчерашний офисный работник? Сможет ли он переступить всё и превратиться в хищного зверя? Оказывается, да, причём достаточно быстро. Привыкшие к клавиатуре руки столь же спокойно станут нажимать уже не кнопку «Enter», а спусковой крючок. Не вызовет особого сомнения и необходимость обыскать ещё теплое тело противника. Недолго будут терзать муки совести. А вот сможет ли такой хищник остаться в душе человеком? И сохранить хоть какие-то положительные черты? Зайдём в Тарков — там всё и посмотрим.

My Year of Flops by Nathan Rabin Pdf

In 2007, Nathan Rabin set out to provide a revisionist look at the history of cinematic failure on a weekly basis. What began as a solitary ramble through the nooks and crannies of pop culture evolved into a way of life. My Year Of Flops collects dozens of the best-loved entries from the A.V. Club column along with bonus interviews and fifteen brand-new entries covering everything from notorious flops like The Cable Guy and Last Action Hero to bizarre obscurities like Glory Road, Johnny Cash’s poignantly homemade tribute to Jesus. Driven by a unique combination of sympathy and Schadenfreude, My Year Of Flops is an unforgettable tribute to cinematic losers, beautiful and otherwise.

Lost in Time and Space: An Unofficial Guide to the Uncharted Journeys of Doctor Who by Matthew J. Elliott Pdf

BBC's immensely popular Doctor Who series, featuring an extraterrestrial Time Lord exploring the universe aboard a time machine resembling a police call box, is a significant part of British pop-culture and a cult favorite worldwide. The series has changed radically over the years, with thirteen actors portraying the Doctor to date, and with more than 50 companions joining him on his adventures. But the show's 800 televised episodes (so far) are just the tip of the iceberg, as the Doctor has referenced countless encounters never expanded upon onscreen. After five decades of time-traveling adventures, you might imagine you knew all there was to know about the greatest hero in all of time and space, but it turns out he was living another life entirely while we weren't looking. This is the story of that life. RiffTrax.com writer Matthew J Elliott, the author of Sherlock Holmes on the Air, Sherlock Holmes in Pursuit, The Immortals: An Unauthorized Guide to Sherlock and Elementary and The Throne Eternal, as well as numerous radio plays based on Sherlock Holmes, The Twilight Zone, Vincent Price Presents, Logan's Run, Perry Mason and The War of the Worlds, has accepted the Herculean task of chronicling those "stories between the stories." This is not a typical Doctor Who project-but, then, Matthew is not a typical Doctor Who fan. Beautifully designed, the book features an insightful foreword by Alan Barnes, the author of the animated Tenth Doctor adventure The Infinite Quest, and a writer and editor for Big Finish Productions' audio dramas featuring five of the Doctor's earlier incarnations.
