5 out of 5 stars Favorite Movie Guide.......2005-12-20

I have been buying film guides for about 25 years and this is my favorite. I obviously share similar tastes to the reviewers, because if they give a movie 4 stars I usually find it entertaining. It also doesn't have the insufferable adolescent snobbery that you often get with some guides e.g., Time Out.

5 out of 5 stars Great book for best Popular, Indie/Art and Foreign films !.......2004-12-19

The TLA Guide is a fantastic reference for the cream of the crop in films of all genres. As the title states, it is discerning by cutting out what they consider to be films that are low quality or just plain bad. Of course its debatable what films should or shouldn't be included according to taste (If you are looking for H.O.T.S., A Nymphoid Barbarian In Dinosaur Hell or Beaks:The Movie, you should look elsewhere). In the introduction of the book it says..."It's not our goal to include every film ever made, but to bring attention to films that we feel have achieved artistic success, amassed some popularity, or made an impact-past or present-on the art form". I think they do a pretty good job of their intentions. This book is a "best of film" type of guide in that I can browse through the books film listings and almost all the titles listed have cinematic value. They do rate popular, big budget and B-movies that are duds(rated at one or two stars),but only the more "important" ones so you don't have to sort through pages and pages of mediocrity. The book is well organized, clear & direct in the reviews(also they don't give everything away in the plot)and they have the best Index Listing of Foreign Films according to country of origin(better than Videohound and Time Out's list is confusing). More than 10,000 films are reviewed. I don't think they are in competition with the "list everything" type of guides such as Videohound but if you are a movie lover I would also buy another guide as a supplement like the Martin & Porter Guide or Videohound. The TLA Guide is a great choice. Highly recommended!

5 out of 5 stars *The* seminal critic of our times.......2005-12-26

(Note: this review assumes that you are not terribly familiar with James Berardinelli. If you are, skip to the last two paragraphs.)

Growing up in a Dallas suburb, there was nothing much to do but to get a ride over to the local multiplex and catch the latest flicks. Early on in my preteen years, of course, almost anything would catch my interest (save for something like Jane Eyre), but after awhile it became apparent that my time would be better spent going to movies that were actually decent. So, this led me to peel open and dog-ear the "Guide" section of the Dallas Morning News, always skimming the review snippets before deciding to which movie I would beg my mother to take me. However, while this system proved adequate early on, it became apparent that I was still spending time watching alot of terrible movies, movies that had been given such wonderful critical catch phrases as "Two Thumbs (Way) Up!" (which I'm sure must be trademarked or something similar by now) or "Four Stars! One of the best movies of our time!" Which, of course, led me to a gradual disillusionment and the growing belief that all critics were cash-mongerers being paid off to write catchphrases to be used in advertisements.

I still think that about many critics. But eventually, I discovered rottentomatoes.com and it proved to be a good, brute force way of finding quality movies to spend a hard-earned 8 bucks. I came to notice, however, that one reviewer in particular kept standing out for well thought out, well-read (and well-seen) reviews, many of which corresponded to my tastes and interests. It was in this way I came to find James Berardinelli. His name was a bit of a pain to remember at first, but it soon became synonymous to me with pure, intellectual and quality reviews.

Very few critics, I feel, are able to properly enunciate precisely why they feel a movie is good or bad. I've read many a four star review of Pulp Fiction, for example, that was filled with vague assessments and ephemereal praise; namely, that the critic had realized they had just seen something wonderful, but couldn't quite express why. And sometimes this enunciation can be done in overkill; however intelligent a review from the New York Times or the Chicago Tribune may be, sometimes they seem a bit *too* intelligent, a critic trying too hard to maintain an image or trying to be Faulkner when Hemingway would suffice.

It is, however, this precise skill of putting down in words that certain "je ne sais quoi" many of us may feel when watching the latest masterpiece that makes Berardinelli brilliant. It is his irreverant attitude to the worst of movies, and his superbly insightful and analytical approach to even the most untouchably brilliant of movies and his refusal to reduce his thoughts to a catchphrase that makes every read an enjoyable one. I never read reviews in my free time for fun before, but now I pour over Berardinelli pages as if looking over a great literary tome. And in fact, his reviews may be; each review opens a dialogue with the reader, explaining everything what one wants to and needs to know. One has a question, and Berardinelli has anticipated it and answered it. If anything, I wish his reviews were longer.

However, it's simply more than just Berardinelli agreeing with my tastes. In fact, I found I disagree with him on quite a bit of movies, but unlike many other critics, a point of divergence is not an irreconcilable-"oh-he's-just-one-of-the-crazies-who-liked-star-wars-episode-one" moment but rather a way to see an alternative opinion presented intelligently and analytically. If anything, if you're used to just reading reviews from your local newspaper, Berardinelli will elevate your level of discourse with movies and will broaden the way you think about the art of filmmaking.

That being said, why do you need to buy the book when all his reviews are archived for free on his website? If you've a soft-spot for reviews and movies, this is a good addition to your library, beating out the more mainstream works such as "Videohound's Golden Movie Retriever year XXXX" (which I never read for fun). Even then, a collection such as this belongs in the category of art criticism, not movie reviews, and for that reason a hard copy will always be welcomed as a permanent reference for the thoughts and analyses of one of the most important critics of our time. If that's not your thing, having a hard copy of the reviews means that you can always quickly look up a review without having to worry about booting up a computer or remembering how to spell "Berardinelli." If anything else, this makes sure that you vote with your dollar and support a critic who deserves greater exposure.

(I realize the overly-glowing tone of this review, but if you've read Berardinelli, you'd understand.)

5 out of 5 stars Thoughtful and open-minded.......2005-12-22

I have been taking recommendations from Berardinelli's website for a few years. This book is a compilation of his favorites from about the last 10 years, and are arranged by genre (Action/Adventure, Animated, Comedy, Drama, etc.). An appendix uncovers some 'easter eggs' (want to see Gollum's MTV speech from the DVD?), and another reviews directors' cuts. Berardinelli includes only 'recommended', 'highly recommended', and 'must see' movies.

Berardinelli exudes both open-mindedness and conviction in his reviews. He sees through audience manipulation and recognizes artistic vision. He's not syndicated, and has only his fans to please. I get the distinct feeling that he writes reviews to create a more demanding movie viewing audience. If my feeling is right, I hope he succeeds.

You'll have to visit Berardinelli's website (www.reelviews.net) to experience the other half of his vocabulary: the colorful invective he uses to trash truly bad films. A great example: "I have written this review as a public service to those who stop by my video column. I sacrificed my time so others don't have to. Feel free to ignore this warning..".

5 out of 5 stars James Berardinelli = Mr. Movie........2005-12-11

James Berardinelli's Reelviews website has been my go-to source for movie reviews since I stumbled upon it a few years back. I admire his candor and insightful analysis of films and the film world. Just like a previous reviewer said, since discovering James I have not wasted money seeing a dud film in the theater).

Best of all, you can always trust James to tell the truth. If the movie is schlock, he lets you know; if the movie is decent, he'll tell you who might be most attracted to seeing the film in theaters (often times by providing a list of similar films like a "if you liked these, try this" recommendation); and if the movie is great, James sounds the horn. And I must admit, while I look forward to seeing four and five star films, I look forward to reading the one and zero star reviews (there's just something deeply gratifying and entertaining about a reviewer ripping some piece of schlock to the tiny bits it deserves...call it my guilty pleasure).

So if you want a "Reel" honest review, James is your man. Pick up the book, check out the website (I recommend spending some time running through "ReelThoughts" for a few great ideas about what is going on in the entertainment industry, what could/should be going on, and so forth), have yourself a ball. I only hope Mr. Berardinelli can find the time to put together a DVD guide as well for those of us - and he knows were out there, growing in number - who prefer the comfort of home to the current theater experience.

You da man, James. Keep it up!

5 out of 5 stars :).......2005-12-11

I've been an avid reader of James' website for the last year of so. I have come to value his reviews over almost everyone elses. He never fails to expose a bad movie and tell exactly why in an intelligent, and sometimes humorous way. I've often been prompted to see a movie that I otherwise would have probably overlooked. James, if you read this, ignore that jerk who gave your book a one star. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but writing scathing reviews that are based on questionable informatio is unecessary. I look forward to reading more of your reviews and your next book. Take care!

3 out of 5 stars THIS BOOK IS LONG ON PLOT SUMMARIES AND SHORT ON ANALYSIS.......2005-12-11


This book provides heavily edited versions of James Berardinelli's website movie reviews. Unfortunately, instead of skimping on plot descriptions, he skimps on analysis, which is his strong suit.

My first exposure to Berardinelli was the first version of this movie guide. And I didn't think much of it. Some time later, I was discussing Berardinelli with a friend, who advised me to check out his complete reviews posted on his website. After reading the complete reviews, with all of the analysis intact, I finally became a believer. But despite all of this, I now own both versions of his movie guide, which I find useful for quick-reference purposes. (Note: If this movie guide contained Berardinelli's complete, unedited movie reviews, I would bump my rating up to four stars.)

Note to ALL film critics: In the future, try to restrict your movie plot summaries to just one or two paragraphs, and then get on to what you were truly put on this planet for, i.e., providing analysis and criticism.

5 out of 5 stars Coby DVD550 - neat lil DVD player.......2006-06-11

I bought the DVD player for my son. I wanted something that did not have a flip-top screen that could be broken. The Coby player has bright buttons and a very clear screen for such a small viewer. We love it.

4 out of 5 stars Easy manageable size. Reviews are very small. (Splits in half!).......2005-10-11

The big downside to these volumes is that they eventually split in half! However... I also own a stack of other film encyclopedias but for weight and manageability this is the best of the lot. The book is around 2 inches thick - but is the size of a novel and you can hold it in one hand. It is a full resource (with over 18,000 titles!), easy to carry around and has a full listing of directors and cast at the back along with Oscar winners. Overall the reviews are not very good and they are limited to just four of five lines at best. I mostly do not use it for the reviews though. It is more of a "find a director or star that you like and quickly flick through the index and the corresponding works to see what else they have done". For that it is very impressive but if you are looking for in-depth reviews then you should go elsewhere for the more unmanageable volumes and Arnold Schwarzenner to help carry them around for you.

2 out of 5 stars Guide is found lacking.......2005-09-04

Very simply, this is not the best movie guide out there as other reviewers have stated. While, it does add a lot of new films released each year, it does so at the expense of older films. The reviewers have a tendancy to gush over these new releases and underrate or compleletly ignore films that truly have standed the test of time.

I don't want to get in a rant about specific film reviews but I think the reviewers do follow a certain pattern. If the movie made lots of money it is most likely to be rated higher than so called "flops". However, an exception is made for films that are too violent, too sexual, or too dark, even if they were succesful or developed a cult following because this is basically a family orientated movie guide. Movies made in the last several years are usually rated higher than the ones that were made in the film industry's youth. Many people's opinion will agree that today's films are more entertaining for today's audiences but I am of the opinion that there are film treasures to be found in all eras. In some cases the reviews of these older films are so vague that it makes me wonder if the reviewer ever saw the film that is being reviewed or are they just recycling and paraphrasing some old review. The biggest weakness of this book is that it does not include a great many movies at all. In comparison with the Blockbuster movie guide and Maltin's classic guide, this one is the most likely to have the film missing. It is weak on B-westerns and films prior to the 80's. Maltin's classic guide is good because at least pre 1960 films won't be dropped and forgotten completely, the blockbuster guide is nice because it has detailed reviews that aren't too pompous in regards to the reviewers opinion.

Besides the lack of old reviews I do have a problem with this guide's ratings of many more modern films. Independence Day given 4.1/2 stars, this film is truly awful besides the special effects. The US is having all kinds of problems finishing off the Iraq war yet we could beat aliens in a day or two with the president doing the dirty work. This is laughably bad even though President Bush might think it is believable, Starship Troppers was better or at least more entertaining treating basically the same subject tongue in cheek, the reviewers gave Troopers 2 stars. Perhaps the most disappointing visit to the theater I ever had was going to see Star Wars episode one, the reviewers gave it 5 stars, saying it was only second to the original. What? Enough said. Episode two also got 5 stars. I could go on all day ripping on the reviewers here, instead let me just say this is not for film buffs, maybe if you are half way interested in films and want to save a couple of bucks buy this guide. No guide will ever be fully comprehensive or objective, and this one is truly an example of that fact.

This book is a "must have" for movie buffs like myself!

It's AWESOME!!!

5 out of 5 stars The Greatest Book Ever Written.......2005-02-11

Oh my gosh, I honestly don't know where I would be without this book. You have no idea how many movie buying/renting decisions have all been decided through this book. Their rating system is fun, although I don't rely on it completely. Some of my favorite movies have received the Turkey, and some I didn't think too highly of got rave reviews. Mostly I use the book just for informational purposes though. It tells who directed and starred, the year it was made, and even why it got the MPAA rating it did. This is the ultimate guide to movies, whether you're just looking for a movie to rent or wanting to know the year a movie was made, this has it ALL!

          Book Description

          From the Government housing slums in Detroit to the bling-bling penthouses of the Hip-Hop monarchy, Marshall Mathers has had quite a journey. This is a presentation of the documentation of his life that is angry, vivid and shockingly honest. By taking the stories, characters and rantings that exist on his albums, a dramatic, operatic and highly comedic adventure is told. In addition to biographical events, the authors draw on the self-created characters that exist in Eminem's music. This is a graphic novel about the World's one and only true crossover rap superstar, and a story both as profound and profane as the man himself.

            Product Description

            An exciting graphic novel from the creative team behind the groundbreaking Godspeed: The Kurt Cobain Graphic, published by Omnibus Press in 2003. From the Government housing slums in Detroit to the bling-bling penthouses of the Hip-Hop monarchy, Marshall Mathers has had quite a journey. This is a presentation of the documentation of his life that is angry, vivid, and shockingly honest. By taking the stories, characters, and rantings that exist on his albums, a dramatic, operatic and highly comedic adventure is told. In addition to biographical events, the authors draw on the self-created characters that exist in Eminem s music. This is a graphic novel about the world s one and only true crossover rap superstar, and a story both as profound and profane as the man himself.

            4 out of 5 stars Kingdom Hearts chain of memories guide review.......2006-07-09

            It helped dramatically and I found it to be really well done and very helpful in explaining the different cards and what they truly did....... Also its a good thing to have when deciding on going through the game and what world cards to use....although I was already half way through with the game when I had it.....It was still nice and helped me with my other half decisions....

            5 out of 5 stars perfect product.......2006-06-28

            when i bought the item i opened the box and the book included everything it said. Also it was in perfect condition-no dented corners or riped pages-. when i used the book it it included all the secret items in the game. if you are a kingdom hearts fan i suggest this book to you. perfect product

            5 out of 5 stars Kingdom Hearts COM is great.......2006-03-23

            this book helped a lot I like both the kingdom hearts games and this made it easier to see if i missed anything :-)

            3 out of 5 stars A credible effort.......2005-04-28

            The Official Guide for Kingdom Heart: Chain of Memories is a useful book for helping you understand the more generic aspects of the game. For example, the sections on cards, combos and room descriptions are very well done. Of course, you can always get these information on the Internet for free, but hey, this book has colors!

            The walkthrough for the various worlds, however, is a little thin. It's understandable though, considering the randomized nature of these rooms. That said, the book at least attempted to provide deck and levelling up strategies, which always help in an RPG game like this. The tips for boss fights are also quite helpful, even though some of these fights are rather straight forward.

            Fans of this game may also know that when you complete the game, you can unlock an additional mode. This guide included some snippets on this mode too. All in all, I'd say the book just about cover everything you need to know about the game, and a little more. I'd recommend this to those who doesn't mind shelling out the cash for a more colorful version of an Internet FAQ.
