"You like movies because you're one of life's great watchers." So says Woody Allen's irked, soon-to-be-ex-wife in Play It Again, Sam, obviously having had enough of his sedentary lifestyle. Hmm, I think she would have left me, too. But, hey, do a female's myriad charms really stack up against the corny delights of Cocktail, the vicious cynicism of The Sweet Smell of Success, the dark ferocity of The Thing, the fantastic imagination of Westworld, the perverted milieu of Happiness or the heartbreak of Kes? For these are just some of the films covered in the fifth part of this lewd, politically incorrect guide to the treasures of twentieth century cinema. Author Dave Franklin also throws in a bevy of bitches, the worst-ever holidays and a tribute to old men feasting on teenage flesh.

The fourth part of a politically incorrect series that mainly focuses on twentieth century movies. Everything from blaxploitation and action gods to Jodie Foster and the most controversial films ever made is covered.

Chick flicks. Brokeback Mountain. Bollywood. Superhero movies. Sophie's Choice. Sandra Bullock. Avant-garde musicals... If this sort of stuff is your cup of tea, then this isn't the book for you. Blokey film enthusiast Dave Franklin instead concentrates on the politically incorrect delights of Coffy, Magnum Force and Boogie Nights while paying tribute to the likes of Christopher Walken, Paul Schrader, 70's disaster movies and Brian De Palma. There's even some tongue-in-cheek appreciation of the God-like Steven Seagal. So settle back, forget about identity politics and the prevailing lefty narrative, and immerse yourself in a book that values celluloid entertainment above all else. Or as Rob Reiner says at the start of the immortal Spinal Tap: "Enough of my yakking. Let's boogie."

From Peckinpah and Schwarzenegger to Ulzana's Raid and Switchblade Sisters, Dave Franklin takes a politically incorrect look at the glories of twentieth century cinema.In this second volume of his Baby Ice Dog Movie Guide, he offers eight Fucked-Up Films, a bit of tit trauma, ten of the best Starring Debuts, some macho idiots, a tribute to Michael Douglas' prime, and a quick examination of some of the most over the top performances in movie history. Not to mention eco-horror, the odd catfight and a handful of ridiculous deaths.So grab a beer, settle back and enjoy…

Part coming of age story and part exploration of the maddening nature of dreams, Girls Like Funny Boys is a potent mix of sexual obsession, guilt and fame.'Gina crouched, resting on her haunches to continue the conversation. Her legs were too far apart. There was a hole in her black tights just above the left knee. Johnny felt a hot urge to poke a finger in it. He wished she'd leave him alone. He wished she wasn't wearing tights. He stared at her lopsided mouth and the way her fat lower lip jutted out. It was so red it bordered on purple, the colour of strawberries on the turn.'Meet Johnny Goodwin. He's grown up in a quiet Brisbane suburb with loving parents, a faithful dog and an unrequited yearning for his teenage sweetheart, Angie Everson. Now in his last year at school, he's finally caught her eye by starring in a teacher-baiting pantomime. Dreams are already taking shape of a career in entertainment, perhaps with Angie by his side.And all he's got to do is pass his exams, get to uni and keep away from Gina Wood, that weird girl who once let him touch her..."Girls Like Funny Boys wasn't what I expected - and that's simply not fair as Dave Franklin's not meant to be writing to a formula. But I really didn't expect to find this as engaging, as involving and quite as emotional as I did. I loved Johnny, rode the waves of his life every step of the way. I laughed out loud at points in this book, and found myself sniffing back tears at others... Most of all I just loved this book." - Australian Crime Fiction

Dave Franklin probably won't be the last author to offer his take on Korean life - he might just be the most caustic and honest, though." - Groove Korea magazine"Startlingly different." - Australian Crime Fiction website"...the writing has pace, and is hilarious in places. An expose on Korean culture on and ESL teaching this book is not. But as a simple black comedy, English Toss is worth reading." - The Korea Herald
