Customer Reviews
Renewal
I have been reading this magazine for two years and truly enjoy reading about the latest movies and updates on my favorite television programs.
Subscription Review
Fast processing. Actually a little to fast. Was trying to time the expiration of my old subscribtion and the order said allow for six weeks for processing. Howver, in about three weeks began receiving mags from new order. So for about three weeks have been getting double issues.
Essential
I couldn't live without Entertainment Weekly. Now my daughter is hooked on it, too. Amazon's two-year subscription price is a good deal.
OK for Amazon's Price - but EW Can Be Trite & Vapid
Entertainment Weekly attempts to straddle the line between Fan/Tabloid content and serious stories, but usually fails at either. The first few pages have some valuable entertainment news, with a minumum of fluff. The next 60% of the magazine is where the articles cover artists to appeal to the lowest common denominator. The last 1/3 of the magazine is mostly reviews of movies, TV shows, DVD, music (CD,DVD, and online), and books.
One of my pet peeves is too-frequent issues dedicated to upcoming movies. Then, subsequent issues cover then again during release. only to rehash them yet again as and end-of-the-year retrospective issues. If you live and breath movies, this might appeal to you. For me there's too much time spent on movies that aren't worth seeing even once, let alone cover them in issue after issue.
So why do I subscribe?
For around 50¢ an issue, there is value in the magazine. Decent coverage of new and re-issued DVD movies, TV shows, and music. With studios re-issuing the same DVD's again and again, EW does an OK job of describing whether to consider an upgrade. I have saved $ by not buying a new version that is of no real improvement to what I own.
I've also discovered movies and music I haven't otherwise run across.
As long as you don't pay more than $25-30 per year, Entertainment Weekly is a fair value. Just don't pay their $1.00+ per issue renewals - buy a new subscription from Amazon for way less.
Entertainment Weekly
EW is my husband's favorite magazine. He looks forward to it every week. Getting it through Amazon allowed me to get 2 yrs for what I would have paid for one year through renewing subscription.
