Since the early 1990s, Gale and now Gale Cengage Learning – a world leader in e-research and educational publishing – has published VideoHound’s Golden Movie Retriever (VGMR), a massive, groundbreaking guide to movies on VHS and DVD. Featuring over 28,000 movie reviews, on films ranging from the popular to the downright obscure, VGMR offers an informed, irreverent take on the movie industry and stands as THE definitive guide for both hardcore film freaks and those who consider themselves merely film-curious. The Hound rates movies from 4 Bones (pick of the litter, think The Godfather ) to “WOOF!” (baddest of the bad, think Weekend at Bernie’s 2 ) and brings together a collection of ridiculously comprehensive indexes, which (aside from growing exponentially each year like the Blob) allow readers to delve deeper into the movie-verse from a multitude of angles. VGMR is most famous for our Category and Series indexes, an astounding collection of cross-references that enable readers to look up movies based on thousands of categories, including specific themes, subjects, locations, settings, or even more esoteric insanity, like movies that feature “Nuns with Guns,” “Exploding Fish Tanks,” “Alien Cops,” or “Flatulence,” to name a few. And, as a bonus, with so much knowledge captured within its hallowed pages, VideoHound’s Golden Movie Retriever is perfect for use as a booster seat, bullet-proof vest, step-stool, car-pool buddy, fertility idol booby-trap weight-substitute (Indiana Jones only), surrogate father-figure, bludgeon, and 2000% of your recommended daily fiber.
