Action Film Blogs:
Guardian.co.uk is a fantastic blog
to refer to for information on the most recent and memorable action films throughout
history. Each film blog post is written by a different author, which helps keep
the stories interesting with every new perspective. This website primarily
focuses on writing its’ reviews on films and specific entertainment battles
between action movies come opening weekend such as The Avengers, Hunger Games,
The Dark Knight Rises and etc. This
source is significant because it allows me to learn how to analyze a film from
a different set of eyes and helps me acknowledge how some people interpret a film.
Slacker
movie blog dedicates each post to a specific theme like 80’s action films such
as The Terminator, Rambo and Die Hard or even the top 5 movie guides
to on films based off of video games. This source presents a more interesting
quality because it doesn’t just review the most recent film that came out to
theatres, this site focuses on those mysterious action films that have not been
promoted for months before their release. This blog is useful because it gives
people a more pleasurable approach to reading about action film reviews and
recommendations for similar hardcore action films.
This blog is a smaller subcategory
amongst the entire website geeknation.com dedicated to action movies and some
films are even reviewed by woman. Not only does this source show relate to my
perspective of being a girl who writes her perspective on the latest action
flicks but also it helps me get a grasp on what people want to read. This
website, like most, writes reviews on the film and even post their expectations
before the film comes out to theatre.
Action Film Academic Sources:
This website helps people who are naïve about
the action film genre understand the basic information of the historical
background. The main argument in this website is that action films are aimed at
a male audience rather than to a female. This source gives detail information
about certain films after a specific time period, which gives the reader a
broader knowledge and interest of the genre.
Although this website is purely dedicated to
action films, it still gives you the access to look up certain categories like
100 Best/ Worst Action Films or just a specific film you are looking for on the
website. This website helps other bloggers or move lovers compare their reviews
to come up with a brief speculation whether or not a film will be successful
before they see it in theatres. This website is important to give everyone a
brief knowledge of a action film whether it be movies like Fast Five or Taken which
might build up personal bias or critique beforehand.
This source gives specific details why people
have a large appeal to action films; it has to do with the adrenaline,
explosions, fast car speed chases and beautiful women and men. This article
separates actors out from the rest who are known, primarily, for being in
action films, these actors include Chuck Norris, Clint Eastwood, Steven Seagal, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Statham,
Bruce Willis and Sylvester Stallone. This article helps me to understand the
appeal to action films which will help me write my blog using logos, a more logical approach to each
post on a specific action film.
