NEW FEATURED LINK:
Crime in film . . . where it belongs
*************************************************************
From Matthias Merkelbach, who runs this site:
"I like to present to you my website located in Germany dedicated to the international phenomena of film noir: www.der-film-noir.de . We are online since November 2010 and recently present reviews for 200 movies from 1922 till today. Our reviews give an overview about the content, history, style and quality of the movies – also regarding the editions on DVD and blu-ray on the European market. We are linked with German Amazon and present approximately 1600 articles of film noir media in our Amazon shop.
The whole project is a 100% private initiative of me and a partner and it is completely financed out of our own pockets. That’s one of the reasons, why we recently only have a German version running. Right now international link partners are of high priority for us. . . .

About Bookgasm
Hey, have you read the new Nora Roberts?
Are you a member of Oprah’s Book Club?
Do you enjoy stories about the struggles of the disenfranchised in our society?
If you answered “no” to all those questions, we’d like to welcome you to BOOKGASM, the site dedicated to READING MATERIAL TO GET EXCITED ABOUT.
That includes all kinds of genre fiction, from horror and sci-fi to mystery and suspense. It also includes graphic novels, trashy paperbacks, cheap magazines and other things that much of America pretends to be ashamed of, for no good reason.
At BOOKGASM, we celebrate these escapist efforts, through daily news, reviews, interviews and other things that don’t end in “-ews.” Think of it as a community; we encourage your posts via the comments section under each item.
