Book Reviews of Leonard Maltin's 2006 Movie Guide

Book Review: New edition of an old favorite.
Summary: 5 Stars

It's popular in today's world to complain. So I'll complain some.

First, all of his movie ratings don't agree with mine. For instance I think that the Weber musical version of 'The Phantom of the Opera' was the best movie of 2004, and he gives it two and a half stars. 'The Gods Must be Crazy' only got three stars, it should have gotten four. On the other hand, 'The Pirates of the Caribbean' got two and a half stars. That's about right. He did better here than a lot of other critics who seemed to think it great. Oh yes, the type is too small for my tired old eyes. Since I don't want any fewer movies reviewed, make the book bigger.

Now for the good parts, 16,000+ entries. That's a lot of movies. The mail order movie suppliers for rare movies seems expanded and brought up to date. And I guess that I've got to say that he has gotten most of the ratings about right.

To anyone interested in movies, this is one of those books you can't put down.

Other reviewers here have complained about bindry problems. My copy had no errors.
