Book Reviews of Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide 2008Book Review: 2008? Actually, just early 2007 Summary: 4 Stars
I love Leonard Maltin and I think this is by far the best of the movie review books, but each edition seems to be published earlier in the year. How can they call this the "2008 edition" when it doesn't include reviews of many 2007 movies. Want a review of the third Pirates of the Caribbean film? Not here. The fifth Harry Potter? Not here. Transformers? No. Ratatouille? No again. The only big summer movie I could find reviewed was Spiderman 3. Why publish the "2008 edition" in early August? Summer is prime time for movies and it seems reasonable to expect reviews of the 2007 summer movies in a "2008" book. I agree with paying the extra four bucks for the larger edition, but do be warned that the typeface is really not all that larger than in the smaller edition. If you actually do need large print to enjoy a book, then, unfortunately, even this larger edition won't be much help.
