Leonard Maltin's 2011 Movie Guide
Just about all the movies ever made listed in this book, very informative - leave it next to my remote control and every time that I watch a movie I refer to the book to find out what review it received, what year it was made and other info. Can't do without it.

A Great purchase
I have nothing to criticse. the book arrived in mint condition much quicker than I had imagined. No more needs to be added. Thank you.
Downsized in paper but still full of listings for 2011
I have used various guides aside my television over the past 30 years to help me ferret through the movie offerings on, first, network television, then cable, and now on the 35 or so premium channels I recieve on Dish Network. Unlike some that use books like this one, I am not a DVD renter and don't use the book to make those choices. I use it to help me understand which may be the best offering on any of the 35 channels I get when I want to relax in my recliner and watch a film.
I have been buying Leonard Maltin's movie guide for about the past decade, deciding it was the better bet among those that are available. The best one I've known was published under Stephen Scheuer Movies on TV and Videocassette, 1993-1994, a critic that got out of the film rating business in the mid-1990s. I preferred his opinions over those I get from this book but have come to conclude Maltin's guide is the most reliable among the books available now including those by Roger Ebert Roger Ebert's Movie Yearbook 2010 and older editions by various people who tried to publish a film review book consistently but couldn't such as this one DVD & Video Guide 2007 (Video and DVD Guide).
Part of the reason Maltin's book perseveres while others fade is his name recognition; another reason, perhaps not so obvious, is the heavy lifting in the book -- watching the movies and writing the reviews -- is done by a team of reviewers and editors. They don't just watch new movies, either. Maltin's crew constantly updates their scores, as they have done with the original Mel Gibson Mad Max, which they gave 2 1/2 stars in the 1980s and later upgraded to a more appropriate 3 1/2 (of 4) stars. You'll note from year to year this is one of the few books that reassesses the grades, meaning they look at movies over time and the contributing authors discuss them with each other.
For 2011, this book got a little smaller -- about an inch shorter and an inch narrower and marginally less thick -- but still carries 1,643 pages of reviews, actor and director listings compared to 1,643 pages for 2010. Most of the better movies from 2009 and Oscar nominees from 2010 (Invictus, District 9 found their way into the book. As has been the trend in recent years, Maltin's book has loaded up on newer films and let go of some older ones, especially less well-known films and those made for TV, to make room for newer movies.
I don't like this trend but I'm sure the publishing company doesn't believe it can sell a 3,000 page book every year, either, so something has to go and it tends to be older, less well known films. That aside, the team concept is one of the reasons I buy this book every few years. Since Steven Scheuer got out of the film book review business, Maltin's has been my TV tray guide to flicks old and new. It may not always speak for you in its content but, if you give it a chance, it'll help you find something worthwhile to watch when you navigate through the mass of listings on your cable or dish providers on-screen display.

Bigger every year
This thing gets bigger every year. No more flipping through it with one hand. And it omits a large number of older movies which have been shifted to the Classic Movie Guide Leonard Maltin's Classic Movie Guide: From the Silent Era Through 1965 which is almost a must-have if you watch Turner Classic Movies. There have been many who have tried to emulate Maltin, but none has been able to compete in the long run.
