Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
From A Brivele der Mamen, a 1938 Polish soap opera in Yiddish, to Zulu Dawn (1979), a lavish portrayal of African-British violence featuring Burt Lancaster and Peter O'Toole, the Blockbuster Guide is an A-to-Z resource of more than 23,000 movie reviews. Along with each concise summary/review, Blockbuster includes the year it was made and the number of stars (0 to 5) the film rates, who directed it and who acts in it, how long it runs and to what category it belongs, what language it's in, and most helpful of all, whether it's been released on video. In addition, there's an index of directors and their movies, an index of actors and the movies they appear in, and memory-aid boxes by each film's name so you can check the ones you've seen. The guide does an impressive job of providing vast information in few words, thereby allowing for a great breadth of listings while maintaining a manageable size, convenient to keep as a permanent VCR or coffee-table companion. --Stephanie Gold

A BOOK TO OWN AND FINDING MOVIES!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Blockbuster Entertainment Guide to Movies and Videos 1999 (Mass Market Paperback)
A definitive comprehensive book to have because it gives the actors & actresses their list of films for a collection you'd might have or don't to check mark off of. And tells how many stars it gives for the rating of their review. Last who's director of that film by Blockbuster Video!

Consider this one, before Leonard Maltin's guide,
By A Customer
This review is from: Blockbuster Entertainment Guide to Movies and Videos 1999 (Mass Market Paperback)
The blockbuster guide is worth it. It is at least better than Maltin's. His reviews are extremely critical and closed-minded. I also recommend a Cd-rom guide to movies & videos that blockbuster released, it is a fun way to search for a movie. To be honest, check out Martin & Porter's Video Movie Guide 1999 before you make a final decision, its the best.

Blockbuster Better Than Maltin,
By
This review is from: Blockbuster Entertainment Guide to Movies and Videos 1999 (Mass Market Paperback)
I have both the Blockbuster Entertainment book and the Leonard Maltin, and I have foound the Blockbuster to be far more complete and inclusive than Maltin's. Maltin doesn't even show James Arness. Eva Marie Saint, and a host of other fine actors that do appear in the Blockbuster edition. I wish Blockbuster would put out a more recent edition than the 1998 one.
