Super Bitches and Action Babes
Author: Rikke Schubart
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 0786429240
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 369
Book Description
With actress Pam Grier's breakthrough in Coffy and Foxy Brown, women entered action, science fiction, war, westerns and martial arts films--genres that had previously been considered the domain of male protagonists. This ground-breaking cinema, however, was--and still is--viewed with ambivalence. While women were cast in new and exciting roles, they did not always arrive with their femininity intact, often functioning both as a sexualized spectacle and as a new female hero rather than female character. This volume contains an in-depth critical analysis and study of the female hero in popular film from 1970 to 2006. It examines five female archetypes: the dominatrix, the Amazon, the daughter, the mother and the rape-avenger. The entrance of the female hero into films written by, produced by and made for men is viewed through the lens of feminism and post-feminism arguments. Analyzed works include films with actors Michelle Yeoh and Meiko Kaji, the Alien films, the Lara Croft franchise, Charlie's Angels, and television productions such as Xena: Warrior Princess and Alias.

Book Description
What if facing your worst fear was the only way to save mankind? At an early age, a group of unknown assailants tore Jazmi from her quintuplet sisters. As a commanding alien/human hybrid with psychic abilities, she suffers from guilt and shame, blaming herself for them being separated as toddlers. With unwavering dedication, she vows to find them no matter what. When the striking man from her dreams finally comes for her, they should have enough power between them to locate her kidnapped siblings. After all, without them, the invading aliens will have a clear path at destroying Earth. Raiden strives to maintain firm control of everything and everyone around him. As a powerful alien/human hybrid mage, the weight of global expectations tears him down. Once Jazmi reveals herself to him, Raiden's tight restraint threatens to unravel. If that happens, all will be lost. In a shared vision, Jazmi and Raiden witness the Akurn invasion and the destruction it will cause. Unknown to Raiden, while in the same vision, Jazmi is swept into a personal premonition--one that tells her she has to do something she swore she'd never, ever do. The mere idea paralyzes her with uncontrollable terror. But if Jazmi can't overcome her fears and Raiden can't trust himself around the luscious Jazmi, all will be lost. Those Ancient Aliens who left so long ago will once again control Earth's fate. And the only chance to save mankind is slipping away.

Book Description
From his first feature film, The Duellists, to his international successes Alien, Blade Runner, Thelma and Louise, Black Hawk Down, Gladiator, and American Gangster, Ridley Scott has directed some of the most compelling films of the last 30 years. Apart from his work as a film director, Scott has engaged in a vast range of activities, including that as a designer, producer, film mogul, and advertising executive. The Ridley Scott Encyclopedia is the first book that focuses on all aspects of his work in a wide-ranging career that spans nearly 50 years. The entries in this encyclopedia focus on all aspects of his work and are divided into four categories. The first focuses on Ridley Scott's work as a director, encompassing his feature films from The Duellists to Body of Lies, as well as his work in television, including commercials. The second category focuses on the people who have been involved in Scott's projects, including actors, directors, producers, designers, writers and other creative personnel. The third focuses on general thematic issues raised in Scott's work, such as gender construction, political issues, and geographical locations. Finally the encyclopedia incorporates entries on films by other directors who have influenced Scott's approach to his work as a director or producer. Each entry is followed by a bibliography of published sources, both in print and online, making this the most comprehensive reference on Scott's body of work.
