Summary: "Chinese cinema continues to go from strength to strength. After art-house hits like Chen Kaige's Yellow Earth (1984) and Wong Kar-wai's In the Mood for Love (2000), the Oscar-winning success of Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) disproved the old myth that subtitled films could not succeed at the multiplex. Chinese Films in Focus II updates and expands the original Chinese Films in Focu: 25 New Takes with fourteen brand new essays, to offer thirty-four fresh and insightful readings of key individual films. The new edition addresses films from mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and other parts of the Chinese diaspora and the historical coverage ranges from the 1930s to the present." -- BOOK BLURB

Summary: "Crime movies inhabit dark and desperate worlds, yet they account for many of Hollywood's most triumphant successes. In full acknowledgement of this achievement, Crime Wave offers an authoritative and informative, stimulating and entertaining guide to the crime movie phenomenon, from its early days to the present, charting its history and celebrating the people who have given it a special and enduring place in cinema goers' affections. Chapters focus on landmark Hollywood films - from 1931's The Public Enemy, through The Maltese Falcon, Point Blank, Dirty Harry, The Godfather trilogy and Goodfellas, to LA Confidential and Oceans 11 - telling their stories and on the way discussing many more crime movies, both major and lesser known." "Crime Wave represents and investigates gangster and heist movies, blaxploitation and noir, murder mysteries, vehicles for vigilante or buddy cops, even a gangster love story. It features biographies and filmographies detailing the key participants and background details of the film's making, locations and sets. It also explores each film's sources and influences, its impact on the crime genre and current fashion, including spin-offs, copies and sequels. It examines the films' themes, style and box office fortunes."--BOOK JACKET.

Summary: This is a study of blaxploitation advertisements and the genre, examing the complex relationship between blaxpoitaton text and spectator. The heterogeneous identity at play within blaxploitation's black spectators is examined. Class becomes important to studying blaxploitation and its audience not because it demarcates a subgenre that diverged in interest from other films concerned with violence and ultrasexuality but because class - specifically the way in functions in blaxploitation advertisements - can help reconceptualize the blackness of blaxploitation and its spectators in more dynamic ways. The genre is situated in a complex historical moment where three relatively autonomous influences on black identity operated simultaneously.
