Leonard Maltin's Movie and Video Guide 1999

FROM OUR EDITORS

With more than 1,600 pages, Leonard Maltin's 2002 Movie & Video Guide tests the limits of mass market binders; but size isn't its only virtue. Its more than 20,000 capsule movie reviews (including more than 300 new entries) provide everything from synopsis to ratings to running times to the name of that actor you can't quite identify.

FROM THE PUBLISHER

To create this quintessential guidebook to the movies, Leonard Maltin has added some 400 new film entries, bringing the total to more than 19,000, and kept pace with video and laserdisc releases.

SYNOPSIS

It's been nearly 30 years now since Leonard Maltin produced his first movie guide, and for the last 12 years, the publication of his very popular movie and video guide has been an annual event. This year is no different. The 1999 guide, like previous editions, offers the straight scoop on classic cinema, recent releases, foreign films, made-for-TV movies, and straight-to-video low-budget wonders. This new edition contains more than 19,000 entries, including more than 350 new films; updated and expanded actor and director indexes; and information on which films are available on videotape, laser disc, and DVD. If you weren't here for Maltin's recent barnesandnoble.com chat, here's your chance to see what you missed.
