Part biography, part retrospective and part stroke book, Bullets, Bombs and Babes (and not necessarily in that order) is a treasure trove for Sidaris fans. The filmmaker’s self-depreciating sense of humor evident in his films, DVD commentaries and interviews luckily carries over into print as well, in this colorful and lavishly illustrated hardback. It’s a coffee table book for coffee tables crying out for quasi-pornographic photos of Playboy Playmates holding automatic weapons. Andy writes about his family, his Emmy-laden career with ABC Sports and even his friendship with Regis Philbin before getting to the real goods on his dozen T&A action films that will prove to be his legacy. But wait, there’s more! You’ll find interviews with Sidaris regulars like Roberta Vasquez and Julie Strain and, for no good reason (but who’s complaining?), 12 nudity-laden color pages of Sidaris stars in various stages of undress. Sometimes the less-than-terrific layout resembles that old movie magazine from the ‘80s I think was called Preview (where film articles of questionable journalistic merit were fleshed out by porn ads in the back), but when you think about it, that’s entirely appropriate. Check out the mention of HITCH on pg. 27; you’ll find it opposite the photo of Carrie Westcott in a sleek, black, bodyhugging outfit about to be attacked by a ninja. www.hitchmagazine.com
