4.0 out of 5 stars Very Comprehensive, August 1, 2003

This review is from: Videohound's Golden Movie Retriever 2004 (Paperback)

This is a very comprehensive book. The movies are rated from four bones to woof!. Each movie comes with a distription of the plot as well as complete cast and production personel. The book is divided into sections. One section is the catagory section which groups the movies into every catagory and topic conceivable, such as; school daze, dates from Hell and modern cowboys as well as places such as Minnesota, San Francisco and Florida. Obviously a movie can fit more than one catagory. There is an awards section that lists all of the major awards given such as the Oscars and Golden globes and the Independent Spirit Awards. the list also includes the razzies, for the worst in Hollywood. There is also an actor, director and cinemotograoher section. since the book is comprehsive it is quite large and expensive. I recomend the Leonard Maltin Book. He writes thoruogh reviews and has a cast and director index and the book is less expensive.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best movie guide out at the moment, February 19, 2004

By 

David Richard (New Orleans, LA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Videohound's Golden Movie Retriever 2004 (Paperback)

This is the best movie guide available today, not so much because of its reviews (they're as generally reliable but opinionated as any other guide) but because of the massive amount of indexes, which go way beyond other guides. Definitely worth purchasing as a physical companion of sorts to the online Internet Movie Database (imdb.com).

5.0 out of 5 stars Necessary for any movie buff., September 3, 2004

By 

Kimi Is The Best (Pheonix, AZ) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Videohound's Golden Movie Retriever 2004 (Paperback)

Since I am a movie buff, I LOVE this book, and read it in bed! It's a good read for anyone wanting to know what kind of movies they would like to see. It's a lot better than anything Leonard Maltin has ever done, and it's also better than Roger Ebert's I hated, I hated, I HATED this movie, which is good, but it contains mostly B-movies.
