Customer Reviews

Blockbuster Better Than Maltin

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.

A BOOK TO OWN AND FINDING MOVIES!

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!

A Great Objective Source

I find the Blockbuster Guide to be honest, concise and objective but most of all, the reviews are accurate. The guide tells it like it is and doesn't try to promote anything.

Consider this one, before Leonard Maltin's guide

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.

Great short summaries to help pick a movie!

This is a great guide to movies, one of the best you can get. The only thing I didn't like about the book was it reviewed EVERY movie ever made, almost, so there were a lot of old movies to search through. But overall, it is a great guide to movies! Every movie-lover should have a copy!
