Now Playing At A Theater Near You

Premiere covers the film industry like no other magazine out there. Sure, there are plenty of other "movie industry" titles to choose from, but few do it with such style. I have been a loyal subscriber for nearly a decade. In that time, I have always found their articles and interviews to be top notch. Each year brings 4 special movie preview issues, that not only tell you what's coming out when, but these previews also offer (usually) spot on predictions about how each film will preform.

I also like the magazines regular features and columns. "If You Ask Me" by Libby Gelman-Waxner is always good for a chuckle. The column talks about the current film trends. Each issue has 2 review sections: One for new/upcoming flicks, while the Home Guide tackles what's new at the rental counter. The Action section takes a look at who's hot, casting news, a bit of rumor and speculation, scene stealers, Q+A with Glenn Kenny, the fun, Go Figure, and other tid bits. Another gem is The Filmmaker Series that spotlights a major Hollywood type every month. Each issuue ends with a mini interview, with a film star, called Idol Chatter.

Some of the "news" in the magazine may seem outdated since this is a monthly. But Premire makes up for that, with in depth coverage, of all things film. Highly Recommended for all film goers and buffs

Perfect Blend of Industry News and Showbiz Glitz

I have subscribed to Premiere magazine for about 10 years now. And I'm still not bored. There are movie reviews, previews of what's coming soon, sneak peeks into what's in the works, interviews with stars, directors, writers, and producers, in-depth articles on the making of movies and unmasking of studio woes. Premiere gives its readers insight into the realities of movie-making: the good, the bad , and the ugly...and the absurd. But along with the business, there is the glamour and gossip of Hollywood. There are plenty of interviews with stars accompanied by big, sexy photo layouts. This is a magazine whose editors clearly love the movies and are fascinated by all aspects of the business. They give us industry news and allow us to see how this fascinating film industry we have in Hollywood functions -but without denying the fun of Hollywood's glamorous, glitzy, sex-crazed marketing machine. Be sure to check out Libby Gelman-Waxner's monthly humorous take on what's at the box office. And the DVD reviews in the "Home Guide " each month will help you decide which DVD's are worth a look. There are magazines that have more movie-star gossip; and there are trade magazines that have more industry news. But Premiere is the perfect blend of both for the movie-lover and video-rental junkie.
