Customer Reviews:
Beware Before Subscribing (2008-01-29)
I’ve subscribed to MovieLine/Hollywood Life since it’s premiere issue, watching it morph into something less about movies and more about how the rich and famous spend. If that weren’t bad enough, the past two years I’ve had nothing but headaches just getting the issues I’ve paid for. I received Mar/Apr 2007 and then nothing until Sept/Oct 2007. Again, a new issue is on the stands for Winter and I’ve not received it. Their customer service is of no help and there is no phone number one can call to sort it out. Save your money and avoid subscribing to this magazine. I gave it one star because I think I had to rate it but it does not deserve any stars.I bought this from someone selling magazine subscriptions (2005-04-03)
For the low, low price of about twice what amazon sells it for, I bought a two-year subscription.

I was relieved to find out that it’s a real magazine, however, and so I gave it a little more than one star.

It’s an okay magazine, but it’s nothing great, and like other people have mentioned, it’s really small.

Also, all of the pictures of celebrities are in People format, in that they are all pretty small, and there is text in white text superimposed over all of the pictures. It makes for a bad magazine to cut out pictures from.

The magazine paper’s a little bit nicer than People, though, but like I said, you get a lot more content in People.Terrible–and there’s so little of it (2005-01-25)
My title is the punchline from an old joke (”How’s the food at that new restaurant?” “Terrible, etc.”). It’s especially fitting here.

Lots of photos–LOTS of photos–of pretty nobodies. Little content otherwise. The famous snarkiness of Movieline shows up, wearily, now and then, but there’s no life in it.

And, as a couple of other reviewers make clear, you just can’t be sure that you’re going to be getting it when you expect. I’d already received a couple of late issues when my most recent number arrived in the mail. It’s the Christmas edition, with a brief article on what DVDs are best for giving as gifts. It arrived on January 21.

Followup: I just received the “April 2005″ edition, along with my Don’t-let-this-be-your-last-issue!! card. Inside, some movies are described as “this month’s.” One is _The Amityville Horror_. It premiered April 15. This issue also gives us the scoop on _Sin City_ (released April 1), _Fever Pitch_ (April 6), and _The Interpreter_ (April 22).

It is May 13.
