Book Description

The birth of the blockbuster: The prodigies of the 1970s revolutionize cinema The 1970s: that magical era betwixt the swinging 60s and the decadent 80s, the epoch of leisure suits and Afros, the age of disco music and platform shoes. As war raged on in Vietnam and the cold war continued to escalate, Hollywood began to heat up, recovering from its commercial crisis with box-office successes such as Star Wars, Jaws, The Exorcist, and The Godfather. Thanks to directors like Spielberg and Lucas, American cinema gave birth to a new phenomenon: the blockbuster. Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, while the Nouvelle Vague died out in France, its influence extended to Germany, where the New German Cinema of Fassbinder, Wenders, and Herzog had its heyday. The sexual revolution made its way to the silver screen (cautiously in the US, more freely in Europe) most notably in Bertolucci's steamy, scandalous Last Tango in Paris. Amidst all this came a wave of nostalgic films (The Sting, American Graffiti) and Vietnam pictures (Apocalypse Now, The Deer Hunter), the rise of the anti-hero (Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Dustin Hoffman), and the prestigious short-lived genre, blaxploitation.

A lost art.......2005-08-02

This is a wonderful book in the series with wonderful reproductions of the posters of the decade. Makes a wonderful gift for someone who loves movies as well as a great coffee table book. Highly recommended

A trip down memory lane.......2005-03-04

When I first looked at this book, it was like going back to my childhood, well, sort of, it was so neat to see posters of some of my favorite films from back then and a lot from movies that I never knew they made. The artwork on those posters is most certainly something to see and admire!!! If you love art and or movies this is THE book to get you won't be disappointed!

Jaws, Star Wars, Grease, Taxi Driver do I even need to go on.......2003-08-26

Like the other decade books in this series Film Posters of the 70's is a sensational buy. You could either keep it intact as a collection of posters in a book to show and discuss with friends, or cut the book up and actually have a vast number of posters up on your wall. This book is about a third the size of your standard film poster and most movies are full page colour. Any of them would look great up on the wall.

The 70's gave the world Star Wars, Grease, The Godfather, Mad Max, Alien, Taxi Driver, Texas Chainsaw Massacure, Halloween, Rocky and a very blood thirsty shark who changed human perception of sharks for decades to come named Jaws. These films along with other greats fill this book. Roger Moore also took over from Connery as James Bond and Clint Eastwood made a heap of Westerns. Find them here as well.

5 stars all the way!.......2003-02-18

Excellent... add it to your book collection! If you are a Star Wars fan check this out!

a must.......2000-02-27

back in the day this was the best visual present.if the poster was cool then the movie would get Love.a picture can tell a thousand words.and the 70's had the coolest posters and arguable the best films in Movie History.before video tape you walk to the movie house and see the poster and the reaction you felt led you or back the other way.a solid must have book.

A must.......2007-02-07

This book is a necessary addon for the RPG, so it must be purchased. It add some good stuff and all the spells.

Mistaken Identity.......2007-01-11

As any WOW fan would know it is an online world full of advantture and role playing. The world is complex and difficult to learn for a newbie. So a book on how to navigate this complex world, full of hints and tips would be very helpful. Even at the heavey price of this book! Well this book with its hardcover and hundreds of pages of information does not have anything in it about the online role playing. It is printed as a optional board game for people who prefer playing a dundeons and dragons scenerio. This book is very misleading in its content and worthless to the online gaming fan.

Good...but one small thing..........2006-02-07

I won't go into a detailed review here as those above have covered it quite well and I don't want to end up repeating what was said,but there was one small problem I did have...in the magic items second set items from the MMORPG were mentioned...but strangely enough not all the basic suits were covered. Where is the Dreadmist,the Wildheart,etc. Even the tier I epics are not covered (which I can accept that one),but the other zero tier's should have also been there. But again this is a small problem in what is otherwise an excellent book.

A solid 'rules crunch' supplement.......2005-12-27

More Magic and Mayhem adds magical, alchemical, runic, and technological options to the World of Warcraft RPG. Other than the occasional editing gaff and one minor annoyance, it's a great buy. Note that this is NOT a stand alone role playing game. If you do not own the World of Warcraft RPG (the hardback, not the PC game), it is pretty useless on its own. The rest of this review assumes that the reader is familiar with the (hardback) World of Warcraft RPG.

There are three new classes: The Inscriber is an Arcanist variant that can use individual Runes. The Witch Doctor is a Healer variant that has special abilities (cheesily labeled 'Mojo') that enable it to create especially potent magic potions. The RuneMaster emblazons Runes on his body to augment it in various ways, and can also cast Runes from Rune Patterns. The class concept is utterly opposite of a typical Dungeons and Dragon's Monk, but outside of casting Runes the class abilities are similar: extra damage from unarmed strikes, fast movement, immunity to disease, extra attacks during a round but each attack is at a -2 to hit, etc... etc... The main difference is that a Runemaster has a list of special abilities to choose and may pick one at level 1 and every 3 levels after.

There are four prestige classes. The Argent Dawn Templar sacrifices class abilities in gained from previous classes in order to gain powerful new abilities. The Enchanter captures the energies released when a magic item is destroyed and can use that energy to add new abilities to other items. If your high level party has three dozen +1 magic items lying around, he can turn them into a pile of scrap metal and a +5 magic item in a matter of hours. The Ley Walker uses the ley line energy that crisscrosses the universe. She can grant herself fast healing for a few rounds, spontaneously cast dimension door or teleport, use a small number of metamagic feats without using a higher spell slot, and change any damaging spell to do half of its damage as 'ley' damage - which cannot be resisted. The Steam Warrior specializes in piloting Steam Armor.

There's a nice selection of new feats. Most revolve around runes and runecasting or the new rules for Alchemy. The Alchemy section has dozens of new concoctions an alchemist can create. They offer substantial benefits - +4 to an ability for an hour, recovering 6 levels of spell slots, invisibility, healing 8d6 damage. On the other hand, using the Craft (Alchemy) rules from the main book means that the typical PC or NPC that does alchemy work will require a week or two to craft a very simple elixer and months to put together a complex one.

The Runes introduced into the book all fall into categories called Rune patterns. The Inscriber class learns individual runes just like spells. The RuneMaster class attunes himself to one pattern at a time (more than one pattern at a time with feats), and can cast any rune within his attuned rune pattern by spending a spell slot of the corresponding level.

The spell section introduces a new action type to the game, a 'Swift' Action. A swift action is like a Dungeons and Dragons free action, but a PC can only make one per round. Some spells can be cast as swift actions. A small variety of new spells are introduced.

The magical item section is huge. The technological item section is nice, but it would have been nice to see something nearly as big as the magic item section. Technological 'Mods' add technological features to existing items, like rapid reload for firearms, vibrating blades, and armor that shocks those that touch it.

The last bit delves into a new system for determining the capabilities and features of steam armor. These rules replace the ones in the World of Warcraft book. (That is my annoyance with the book, which I mentioned at the beginning. I dislike when a new set of rules just ignores the previous set, instead of building upon it.) They cover such things as passenger compartments, extra shielding, adding hit points, etc... etc...
My only other pet pieve for this section is that size Large and Huge steam armor boosts the wearer's Strength by +10 and +15, respectively. I would think it more logical to provide independent Str scores for the armor once it reached a certain size. Goblins are among the foremost Steam Armor builders on Azeroth, and their -2 racial Strength penalty make them a poor choice for Combat Steam Armor pilots.

The only thing I hoped for but did not see was rules for the creation of Phlogiston, the special fuel many Warcraft technological devices require. Apparently 'Magic & Mayhem' details its creation, but this book does not.

Solid Companion Volume, but journeyman errors abound.......2005-12-07

As a freelance RPG writer with very little actual printed work under my belt (so many unprinted, but paid for, products... *sigh*), I know that my opinion on such things is not often asked for, but here in this review I will give it, nonetheless. Simply and objectively put, this is a solid, well designed supplement. It contains nothing that supercedes the original Magic and Mayhem too terribly, although it does reprint some items whose creation methods and overall effects have changed between V3.0 and V3.5 "fantasy roleplay" (Just say it, D&D). The reprints are useful, however, and well described. The feats are, by and large, balanced and well composed, as are the spells (finally, Mages can use Firebolt!). While I personally would have added rules to the Core Classes for such things as the Paladin's new Seal spells (making them class abilities instead of wasting precious spell slots on them), or made Enchantment a series of Feats on the same level as Alchemy (thus allowing any character with the inclination to become an Enchanter), the methods used here are stable enough to be adapted to just about any game.

However, this book, much like the new edition of the WoW RPG, suffers from journeyman level editorial and proofreading mistakes that, honestly, should have been caught - a simple spell check would have done it. Page 196, for instance, the word "at6" in the Exploding Sheep description would have become the appropriate "at" had the body text been spellchecked. Also, much like the new WoW book, stylistic errors are also present in a good many places, such as a style type marker for the Shaman/Witch Doctor 2nd Level Spell list being retained instead of the proper style being implemented. Widows and Orphans - hanging sentences or "abandoned" words and sentences - are not as prevalent in this text as in others, but are still there. I admit I haven't been looking for it very hard, but thus far, I have not seen the customary "Page XX" reference.

A solid book, with some very easily-caught (at least I would have thought so), mistakes. Overall, I'm very impressed by it.
