| Videohound's Golden Movie Retriever 2008 (Videohound's Golden Movie Retriever Series) by Gale Group Duh! | | Couldn't wait to receive this tome of video nuggets, but the first movie I looked up, one of my favorites, had a short, lame, synopsis that didn't even touch one iota on the uniqueness, humor or twists involved in the plot. (It's a cult classic, Rustler's Rhapsody, with Tom Berenger and Andy Griffith; hilarious). It is more than obvious that the editor and staff didn't see the movie, nor talked to anyone that had. Guess I'll relegate it to the use as a door-stop or grandchild booster at the dinner table. There are worse fates, I guess. | | Videohound's Golden Movie Retriever 2008 (Videohound's Golden Movie Retriever Series) by Gale Group helpful resource guide for judging movies | | Video Hound is a trusted resource in checking out movies before viewing--the reviews are usually right on the money and are often humorous to read. I use this guide book and cross reference the reviews with Leonard Maltin-- using both books, you cannot go wrong. | | Videohound's Golden Movie Retriever 2008 (Videohound's Golden Movie Retriever Series) by Gale Group Practical Suggestion | | This is my fourth VH book. Because of the price, I limit my purchase to one every three years.... Personally I love being able to pull out the book and find the name of some movie I can't remember simply by looking up the director, actor, genre, etc or even better, comparing MY opinion to theirs (which is usually pretty spot on). BUT HEY, VH guys, why not show us some loyalty/compassion and put out One book every five years and sell (at a much cheaper price) yearly adendums? just a thought. | | Videohound's Golden Movie Retriever 2008 (Videohound's Golden Movie Retriever Series) by Gale Group Has Everything! | | Video Hound has all the movies and is cross-referenced like a text book that a 8 yr old could understand. Highly recommend. | | Videohound's Golden Movie Retriever 2008 (Videohound's Golden Movie Retriever Series) by Gale Group The definitive bible for Movie info! | | Just purchased the new 2008 edition to replace the 2001 edition that is dog-eared and well-used. This is the definitive guide for finding what you need about just about every movie ever written. We've never been skunked when looking for information, and this has a handy place on the side table for crossword puzzles, movie trivia, or for those "what movie was she in?" conversations. | | Videohound's Golden Movie Retriever 2008 (Videohound's Golden Movie Retriever Series) by Gale Group Product Description | | With 27,000 on-the-money reviews between its covers, the 2008 VIDEOHOUND lives up to its reputation for putting out the movie review guide fans desire. Always popular with 9 Indexes: Videos A-Z; Category Index; Kibbles & Series Index; Awards Index; Cast Index; Director Index; Writer Index; Cinematographer Index; And Composer Index | | Videohound's Golden Movie Retriever 2008 (Videohound's Golden Movie Retriever Series) by Gale Group Amazon.com | | VideoHound's Golden Movie Retriever 1998 is the most comprehensive single-volume film guide you can buy. It contains capsule reviews of more than 22,000 movies, written with wit and good humor; the films are rated in a range from "four bones" to "WOOF!" Each entry notes the year the film was released; its running time; its availability on videocassette, laserdisc, and DVD; its chief credits; and whether the film was made in black and white or color. Unlike many rival guides, the Retriever includes made-for-television movies, straight-to-video releases, miniseries, and television shows that are currently available on video. But that's not all: the second half of the volume is an enormous book of lists, making it a valuable film encyclopedia as well. The award index covers not only the Oscars, the BAFTA Awards, and the Cannes Film Festival winners, but also the Golden Globe, the Canadian Genie, the Independent Spirit, and the MTV Movie Awards. VideoHound's Golden Movie Retriever 1998 categorizes films by their country of origin and by director, star, writer, cinematographer, and composer. If you want to find information on the World Wide Web, check out the directory of the best film Web sites. Best of all is the category index, which catalogues movies according to conventional genres ("Comedy," "Film Noir," "Romance") and also under topics as wild and diverse as "Murderous Children," "Flatulence," "Satire and Parody," "Cyberpunk," "Marriage," "L.A." and "Nuns with Guns." VideoHound's Golden Movie Retriever 1998is a lively and entertaining guide that will point you toward new experiences in film and strengthen your cinematic expertise. |
