VIDEO & DVD GUIDE 2003
The Best Guide to What's on Video You
Can Buy
By R. Scott Bolton
Clear off your book shelf! The latest edition of Ballantine Books' VIDEO MOVIE
GUIDE is here. And 2003 marks a new era for the annual release: The 2003 guide
has undergone a title change. With the huge surge in DVD sales, the VMG is now
the VDG - the Video & DVD Guide.
Now, more than ever, the Video & DVD Guide is the place to look for information on titles you're thinking about renting or buying. With more and more titles being released each week to DVD - both new and catalog titles - the Video & DVD Guide's 18,000 movie listings will tell you all you need to know.
The VIDEO & DVD GUIDE has been hailed as the best video guide on the market. Newsday has called it "The Best All-Around Volume" and People magazine has said it's "The Best." That's music to my ears considering that many of the new reviews you read in the Video Movie Guide were written by ... yours truly.
As always, included in this year's 18,000 mini-reviews are hundreds of new entries. The VIDEO & DVD GUIDE also lists DVD availability and features director and star indexes; a complete Academy Awards listing; an alternate titles list and a directory of where to buy those hard-to-find titles.
There are two editions available and both are handily-sized so you can take them along with you. The trade paperback, priced at $19.95 (but often available for as little as $14.00), is printed in a larger format and is easier-to-read. The mass market paperback edition is the size of your standard paperback novel with 1600 pages crammed between its covers. Obviously, the type's a little smaller but - if you're on a budget - it's also a little cheaper: only $7.99.
The Video Movie Guide is a tool you don't want to be without. Otherwise, you could end up renting ABERRATION, and you wouldn't want that. Read more about it in the VIDEO & DVD GUIDE.
