FLESH AND BLOOD The National Society of Film Critics on Sex, Violence, and Censorship Peter Keough, editor
The
nation's foremost film critics discuss sex and violence in the movies, challenging
current trends toward censorship.
Flesh and Blood includes some of the most provocative work of
many of our finest critics, raising the level of discourse on the subjects
of sex, violence, and censorship in film. It addresses such topics as
voyeurism, women as aggressors, alternative life-styles, slasher films,
and issues of exploitation. It not only offers a spectrum of opinion on
an issue of current interest but it also entertains with the most intelligent
and well-written reviews of hot contemporary films to be found anywhere.

LOVE AND HISSES: The National Society of Film Critics Sound Off on the Hottest Movie Controversies Peter Rainer, editor
Love
and Hisses pits the nation's leading critics against each other as they
take opposing sides on the most hotly debated movie controversies.
"A remarkably stinulating book, high in entertainment." "Love and Hisses will delight those who have found themselves
in disagreement with a critic about a particular controversial film." "Revealing and introspective insight on how film reviewers differ in
their standards and analyses of movies they have come to praise or reproach." |

THEY WENT THATAWAY: Redefining Film Genres Richard T. Jameson, editor
The
nation's top film critics discuss and review the movies and players who
have defined or redefined movie genres, and thereby our responses to film
itself.
They Went Thataway examines the movies that have defined their
genres — and those that have transcended genre conventions. In ninety-three
impassioned and enlightening essays, members of the highly regarded NSFC
offer their thoughts on thirteen film genres — from Westerns (Unforgiven)
and gangster films (Goodfellas) to star vehicles (Pretty Woman
and Top Gun). Plus: a checklist of "Genre Classics" — don't miss
films in each category — and an index of films, directors, and actors.

gems available on video.
"American criticism at its best." "A hip fan's guide to films still in limbo, somewhere between initial
failure and sainthood." "A rich resource for video renters with a sense of adventure." |

THE NATIONAL SOCIETY OF FILM CRITICS is a group of more than forty writers
from major general-interest publications. From its founding in 1966 through
1971, the membership wrote mostly for New York-based national magazines.
From 1972 on, the group has grown to include writers for daily, weekly,
monthly, and quarterly publications across the country, from mainstream
newspapers like the Los Angeles Times and Washington Post
to alternative weeklies like the Chicago Reader and the Boston
Phoenix.
