LEONARD MAILTIN'S MOVIE GUIDE November 8, 2009
P. Hartley
Excellent, as always, except due to the number of old movies not included anymore, the current editions might be better if issued in two volumes to cover all movies.
Also, could he helpful if movies were categorized by type, i.e., comeday drama, western, mystery horror, historical, etc.
There is a larger version available. October 31, 2009

Yes I almost bought this more than useful book. Then sitting next to it is the same book word for word that has twice the surface for twice the price. Of course if you are economically conservative and have good eyesight the smaller book works well.
It is always fun to see how close one comes to Leonard's conclusion which is not always the same as yours. Yet if you have not seen the film you need some sort of guide. And to get a feel for how he thinks when making his judgments there is an introduction covering how he rated some of the most popular films.
Be sure to read the section "Key to This Book" as it tells the different media or lack of for each film. Some films are includes because of their popularity even if there is no recorded media such as "John Goldfarb Please Come Home"
Once again many of my favorites have been left out such as "Out There" (1995) ASIN: 6303965954 and "Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death" (1989) ASIN: 6305078599, based on "Heart of Darkness."
However with 19,000 entries you will be kept busy trying to find out what else is missing.
Leonard Maltin's 2010 Movie Guide October 23, 2009

I am an independent producer/writer and whenever I need to look up
information on a film, I always turn to Leonard Maltin's guide. As
far as I am concerned, he is the only critic that really knows his
stuff. I get the impression that not only does he really know movies,
he loves movies. This makes a big difference from the sour grapes
reviews that you get from other so called reviewers who are mainly
failed writers or just jealous of anyone that succeeds.
If you want a good solid review, you go to Leonard.
