Can't beat the $10/year price...but buyer beware... at the end of the year they will automatically charge your credit card for their full subscription price $100+. Best to log on to your Entertainment Weekly account and cancel the auto-renew.

Entertainment Weekly (1 year)

Going into my 5th subscription year, I'm not an audiophile, not a TV junkie, not a movie nut, not a Hollywood sycophant AT ALL. But my wife and I read a lot. EW is always received enthusiastically every Friday.
It is some of the best quality writing to keep you amused and interested as well as in touch with the rest of the entertainment world. It's hip!....and that's from a 65-year-old-f**t. We get a heads-up on the best of the most recent fiction and non-fiction as well. We also get good film reviews and a comparison with critical opinions nation-wide. I subscribe to five quality magazines but always grab EW first. Enjoy.

Yes, it's true that some articles won't interest you. There's been a ton of writing on Twilight that I don't really care about, but a lot of people do! They can't please everyone 100% of the time. Now in exchange for my patience I will receive a ton of writing on Lost--whoohoo! It's a great magazine, fun and interesting and smart. Gives you info without trashy gossip. Keeps you informed about all the latest books, music, movies, DVDs, TV, etc. The perfect mix of good articles and photos. I got my first subscription years ago and can't imagine going without it. Great price on Amazon! I feel bad for the people that pay more without realizing.

The magazine is great. Amazon magazine subscription service is poor. I renewed EW and still had 6 weeks left on my old subscription, Amazon states that the renewal will be added to the current subscription. False - they started the subscription the day I renewed and I've received 2 magazines every week. I won't be ordering magazines from Amazon again!

I have been an EW subscriber for almost ten years now, and I can't imagine my life without it! (Okay, so maybe that's dramatic, but it does put a little smile on my face every time I check the mailbox and there's a new issue waiting for me.) Sure, there may be articles that won't be interesting to you personally. There may be reviews of movies, TV shows, music, books, theater that you might not agree with. Just don't read them! However, I've found that the articles tend to be extremely well-written, the reviews insightful, and the extras (Bullseye, Top Ten Lists, etc.) are guaranteed to make you grin. If you like any of the following: celebrities, books, movies, music, TV, humor, or fun--you will enjoy receiving this.
One of the best things about EW is that they are usually on top of the latest trends in pop culture. Just a few of the things that Entertainment Weekly loved before they became popular: LOST, True Blood, the Hunger Games, Twilight, Mad Men, Breaking Bad, and The Wire. Being a dedicated EW reader means you get the chance to recommend great stuff to other people you know will appreciate it.

This is also one of the best deals around. For ten or fifteen dollars, you get 53 issues of the magazine (Some of these are double issues, but still). If you assume a ten dollar subscription, that's only fifty-three cents per issue! Think of it this way--for the price of two magazines bought hastily in an airport, you get a weekly take on all things popular culture. I have bought subscriptions for a number of friends and family members, and they all say the same thing--THANK YOU.
Some others have mentioned that if you choose auto-renewal, they will automatically bill you for the full amount of the subscription price. In my case, this simply is not true. I have been an auto-renewal subscriber for a few years now, and I always get a card in the mail a couple of months before my subscription is up, telling me that they can renew my subscription for ten dollars or cancel. So, you will probably still be able to get the same price, and you will definitely receive multiple notices before they charge you.

I love this magazine. Love it. And I really think you will too.

I've had subscriptions multiple times. Each time has been enjoyable. This is quite simply the best AND cheapest entertainment magazine to subscribe to out there (especially considering there are a ton of ways to get free or reduced subscriptions out there). The reviews on occasion are off base but for the most part are pretty spot on. Snarky, self depreciating, sometimes overly self indulgent articles are the code of the day here. They will occasionally give to much love to some people, movies, items, books, music, and whatever else you can think of BUT the lame is outweighed by the not lame.

So long point short; IF you care about all things entertainment related in the usa and feel the need to get a magazine about it...this IS the best; the only cons i can think of are that every issue isn't always a winner and a lot of what they cover you can easily find free somewhere online...but than for most people a magazine is more convenient for picking up and reading than their computer :)

I really enjoy this magazine. I went on this magazine tirade last year and subscribed to about eight and out of all of them I only kept this subscription and one other. It's a well rounded entertainment magazine that covers movies, t.v., music, and books. I like that there's a little bit of everything. It's perfect reading while I'm commuting to and from work.

I have been a big fan of Entertainment Weekly so I usually purchase it through them directly but I wont do that anymore! Ordering through Amazon was extremely easy and i couldnt believe how fast i started to receive my subscription so I highly recommend them to anyone!!

EW is a perfectly fine subscription (especially at the $15 price-point). It is colorful, entertaining, and an enjoyable read. I would have to take issue with the advertised 52 issues though. Through the first 8 issues I received - 3 were double issues. What it is closer to is 3 issues a month (with one being a double issue). So plan accordingly. For the first three months of my subscription (12 issues - I have received 9 magazines). It is a great value though so I would still recommend it at the price offered currently.

I tried Amazon's magazine subscription service last year. Recently, I was notified of the upcoming automatic renewal with the opportunity to cancel in a timely fashion. I was pleased with the $15/yr subscription price for Entertainment Weekly until I heard that some Amazonians got it for $10. Hmm.

Still, EW is a terrific magazine with something for everyone from so-called geeks to cognoscenti. It's well-written, informative and often highly amusing. I also subscribe to the New York Times, so I liken my reading EW as equivalent to my watching The Daily Show and Colbert Report; a needed break from the tough stuff.
