This is going to be a slightly different book review, mostly because this is an art book. This book is Adult and NSFW it does portray nudity and adult situations. It also states boldly that all models and characters are 18 years and older.

So before we start meet Winky, he’s a funny little fellow who likes to photobomb, more specifically he likes to block the view of the private parts. He usually spends his time hanging out near my bathroom or bedroom mirror but decided to join in on this blog. Mr Winky does not come with the book and the book contains full frontal male, erect nudity.

The book itself is a beautifully HARD bound; it seems well made and durable enough. The paper is THICK, not quite cardboard but damn close. The colours are vibrant and the art is spectacular.

We start things off with an introduction by Eric Arvin author.  The book is basically a parody of movie posters, re-imagined with a gay theme. 

The book is divided into sections; Classics, Science Fiction, Action, Horror, Thriller, Drama, Comedy, and Musical. I won’t spoil all the pages for you, i will list just a few of the movies these pictures parodied instead.

Cleopatra, Nosferatu, King Kong. Star Wars, Aliens Vs Predator, Planet of the Apes, Jurassic Park, Jaws, Nightmare on Elm street, Friday the 13^th, and Night of the Living Dead, there are over 50 so this is a small selection.

This book is excellent; it is fun to flick through and see the fantastic art, and to imagine if movies were a little gayer. 

I highly recommend this book, it would be great for any gay man (there is no lesbianism in this book), movie lover or art lover.

The only issue I have is that I want to get some of these in full movie poster size format and i would have loved for the book to be LONGER.
