Great movie reviews, but too small print
I buy Maltin's Movie Guide every four years. When it arrived this year I was shocked at the much smaller size, thus smaller print.

I don't need glasses to read, but for this new edition I need a magnifying glass! I love the reviews and rely on them when deciding which movies to watch on TV.

This is definitely a good buy, but there is one ridiculous fact about Leonard Maltin's 2009 Movie Guide (Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide): They give the RIDICULOUSLY overrated movie 2001: A Space Odyssey four stars and give movies like The Shawshank Redemption and Forrest Gump two and a half. The reason they gave for giving this rating to Forrest Gump was something about how dumb it is that he was on-hand for all these events in history. HELLO? That's the whole comedic point of the movie! Anyway, it's still a definite good book to have, that was the only problem I had with it.
