Three new books for the clicking and the buying

DateSunday, March 27, 2005 at 2:16AM

Passengers on the right side of the tram will notice three new books topping the recommended reading list.

OK, The Guerilla Film Makers Handbook has been mentioned here before, but now it's o'r yonder where it belongs.

Sin City is about to take theaters by storm, and after working on it with Robert Rodriguez I am reminded of how inspiring and educational his book Rebel Without a Crew is. Sin City is based on three graphic novels by Frank Miller — Sin City, The Big Fat Kill, and That Yellow Bastard.

If earning $7000 by subjecting yourself to medical testing is a little much for you, try the entertaining kick in the pants that goes by the title How to Make an Action Movie for $99. I'm not kidding, and neither is the author. It's as provocatively titled and darn near as useful as the excellent How to Write Movie in 21 Days.
