Product Description
Review
"...light-hearted and humorous..." -- Howard Maxford, Film Review, March 2008.
Product Description
Disaster movies have been around from the very beginning of film. This fun, thrilling, unique genre has always captivated audiences around the world and spawned millions of fanatical disaster devotees. Indeed, some of the most successful movies in history have been disaster films. There hasn't been a book devoted exclusively to the disaster genre in some thirty years! Until now...This is a new, comprehensive roadmap of the genre. The book: is a history of the genre; includes reviews of all the disaster films; articles on the films and the genre; includes full details about directors and the stars of the genre; written in a humorous, even satirical, style; includes posters and photos and original illustrations. Each chapter is devoted to a specific 'type' of disaster: aeroplanes, earthquakes, avalanches, volcanoes, ships, meteors, fire, storms, radiation, viruses, mad bombers, killer bees, wild animals, aliens, and includes full information and reviews of each film in that category.

Format:Paperback
This book is ok.An encyclopedia of disaster movies,funny sometimes,a few pages with colour pics and some black and white pictures here and there.But i hope there will be another book with more pictures that concentrates only on the best films in this genre.Medusa touch and Two minute warning are two films i miss in this book.Rollercoaster is included so why not those two ? And Die hard is in it so why not Black Sunday ?

Format:Paperback
This is a fabulously entertaining read, covering all areas of disaster films. By turn informative and hilarious. Worth double the price paid! If you love disaster movies, you must buy this book.
Format:Paperback
This book is a great read.Covering all your favourite Disaster Movies as well as some not so well known ones.The authors present the information in a light hearted manner and their written commentries more often than not provide "laugh out loud" moments as they take great delight in detailing their favourite catastrophic scenes.
It is clear that this has been a labour of love for the authors and this book has sent me scouring Amazon for as many cheesy Disaster epics I can lay my hands on.Fantastic stuff!
