5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely indispensable reference, 11 Feb 2004

By	A. A. Jones (England, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Leonard Maltin's Movie and Video Guide 2004 (Leonard Maltin's Movie & Video Guide) (Paperback)

I have been buying the Leonard Martin’s Movie and Video Guide for at least 10 years now. I find it an absolutely indispensable reference and the latest version is no exception. I like the style of rating from 4 stars right down to BOMB and more often than not I share the opinions of the reviewers. I admire the no-nonsense layout, constant for every film, and I think a good balance on content over presentation is maintained. I would love that every film ever produced could be included but you would probably be looking at a 3-volume version if that were the case. I long for the day that can be achieved with a DVD-Rom version release and sadly miss the Microsoft Cinemania effort.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great content, pity about the presentation., 13 Nov 2002

By	PETER KING "FILKINS FILMS" (LONDON ENGLAND) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Leonard Maltin's Movie and Video Guide 2003 (Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide (Mass Market)) (Mass Market Paperback)

This would be the best of all the film guides were it not for the total omission of all foreign (i.e. non english speaking) classics, the small format which makes reading difficult and, above all, the irritating, idiosyncratic indexing which makes accessing a title a confusing nightmare.

Five stars for content, none for presentation

5.0 out of 5 stars There is a larger version available., 19 April 2005

By	bernie "xyzzy" (Arlington, Texas) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Leonard Maltin's Movie and Video Guide 2003 (Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide (Mass Market)) (Mass Market Paperback)

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.
