Action Movie Freak
ME
I'm Helen Gynell, graphic designer,
in Miami, and I
#standupforstunts
(sign
the petition).
I'm Bahamian (not American) by birth and citizenship #greencard, and
a Radical Feminist (my agenda
is to see more physically strong, properly attired women in Action
Movies). My dream is to write the roles I want to see.
MEET THE TEAM
There is no team for this website (I sometimes get that
assumption), it's just me. One old action movie super freak.
This website is a work in progress, a labor of love, my hobby.
There are many things 'wrong' with it. Mainly all the HMTL I know was
deprecated by HTML5, and I am working (my knowledge of code is like
crayons) to fix things like videos not loading, things getting
outdated, etc. Please feel free to email me anything you notice: ripley@actionmoviefreak.com.
WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE
There are probably many things that should be
here but aren't (so many more Quotes to add). If your favorite star
or movie is not here, again, please email me. Chances are it's a
just an oversight on my
part. I always want to hear from anyone who likes/loves Action
Movies. I am adding new stuff all the time. The
Action Movie Subgenres project is
ongoing . . .
Backstory on Subgenres: I did 4 days of work on making sample pages and
comprehensive Action
Movie subgenre lists for an Action Movie Freak book deal, but they
ended up choosing
Action
Flick Chick Katrina Hill for the job, so there is no
affiliation between this website and
the book by the same name. But, I got the idea for the cool
subgenres section out of it, and a lot of inspiration about how to
expand the site. Being a Graphic Designer, I mocked up my cover
based on the
Horror Movie Freak version provided. The middle one is mine,
their final one is on
the right. Glad they went with Stallone!

Speaking of Action Movie Lists,
AllOuttaBubbleGum.com used to do an annual Top 100 Action
Movies (The
AOBG Action 100) inviting lots of Fellow Freaks to
participate, this is came in handy for TimeOut.com's "100
Best Action Movies of All Time" which I was honored to
participate in (some heady company:
List of Contributors).
SUPPORTING THOSE WHO DO
My greatest pleasure in working on the site is
when people send me stuff they want me to watch. I am as
supportive as I can be (I am not wealthy). I have posted many
things and promoted amateur/independent films and short films on
social media, etc. I am flattered to be asked to watch, and thrilled
to do so. The last thing I attended was Year 3 of the
Artemis Women in
Action Film Festival in L.A. April 20-23, 2017.
FELLOW FREAKS
I spend my free
time working on the site, watching Action Movies, reading about
Action Movies, or talking about Action Movies on facebook with some
super nice and incredibly talented stunt people, ActionFest fans, TIFF film
lovers, and real-deal writers, directors, and Fellow Freaks.
I have fun with Photoshop . . .


PAYBACK action movie magazine "Celebrating the emergence of WOMEN in ACTION MOVIES"
I started an Action Movie mini magazine that I never have time to
work on . . . but hope to get back to.

FOR THE FUTURE
I'd like to see Stuntmen, Stunt Coordinators, Fight
Coordinators, and Second Unit Directors get the Oscar recognition they
deserve! I wish that ALL Action Movies had outtakes, and, that
they showed who did the stunts (with real footage) at the end of the
movies showing the Stuntman(woman) and their names.
I wish I this website a Search feature. I
wish I had more time for the
Action Movie Calendar. I wish I didn't have to work
and could work on the site full time. I do not make money off the site.
NO PAID ADS
The mini 'ads' you see in the footer are free, and are just things I
like, like the
Artemis Film Festival, or relatives.
