Description

With the hilarious 'instant cult classic' "Seagalogy", Vern wrote a book that shook the very foundations of film criticism. Now he's back, and this time he's got all of 'the films of badass cinema' in his sights! From "Die Hard" to "The Discrete Charm of the Bourgeoisie", "Transformers" to "Mary Poppins", Vern has an opinion on everything, and he's not shy about sharing them.

Reviews

"Vern is the greatest writer about film writing about film anywhere that film is written about. If you disagree, I will pay a big guy to punch you in a soft place." - 'Moriarty', Ain't It Cool News * "Equal parts Hell's Angels and Pauline Kael, Vern is a National Treasure!!!" Guillermo Del Toro, director of Pan's Labyrinth and Hellboy. "We can't believe this actually exists, but the world is certainly a better place for it." New York Magazine "Uproariously funny... the film book I never knew I always wanted to read." Nerve.com"

Author Bio

As a frequent writer for Ain't It Cool News, Vern has gained notoriety for his unorthodo reviewing style and his expertise in "the films of Badass Cinema." His review of the slasher movie CHAOS earned him a wrestling challenge from its director; his explosive essay on the PG-13 rating of LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD prompted Bruce Willis himself to walk barefoot across the broken glass of movie nerd message boards to respond.
