ARTERIAL SPRAY (http://arterialspray.wordpress.com)
Arterial Spray is a blog made by two girls, with a lot of passion for action movies. Vicki and Susana are  both into "fake blood, ludicrous technology, and explosions" so there no fooling them when making an action movie. They would not be considered professionals on the subject but they do give the peoples view on it. For being the peoples voice they do give really detailed analysis on the movies they watch.

ACTION MOVIE FREAK (http://www.actionmoviefreak.com)
Action Movie Freak is a formidable blog to follow. Not only is it detailed on its analysis but it adds some fun into it. This blog is more into the "badass" action movies where it is gory, loud, and vulgar. This blog has been around for quite some time so the age and experience has added some value to its words.

ACTION CHICK FLICK (http://actionflickchick.com/superaction/)
Action Chick Flick is my personal favorite out of all the blogs I have displayed. This blog is well established and has won an award for being the best action film blog in the web. It is made possible by Katrina Hill who used to be a G3 host.

This source talks about what is ruining action movies today. This post is by Alyssa Rossenberg but she is restating a fact made by David Denby, a well known critic. The main argument here is that the main thing that make acton movie popular is what also is messing them up. Action scenes are put on a larger scale now but is it slowly taking away the view on the protagonist making them smaller.
