Entertainment Weekly (1 year) [MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTION] [PRINT] Reviews
I very much enjoy this magazine. I look forward each week to recieveing it and being caught up with what entertainment has happened and is comming up. But I like more than most magazines beacuse it is not as involed in tabloids. While it will endulge from time to time, for the most part if give an educated look at the music, movie and entertainment business.
I’d never ordered a magazine subscription from a vendor before so was a bit hesitant thinking the follow-thru might be less than stellar, but the price was so good it was worth a try. My first issue arrived right on schedule. What a pleasant surprise – I’m impressed.
I don’t feel this is a magazine I will renew when it’s time. It’s a so so publication. Other than programing and recent dvd/cd realeases. There is so much going on “creatively” (I’m not looking for gossip)in the movie and music world, I just thought the magazine is “tepid”

I’ve been a subscriber for many years and really enjoy everything about this magazine. I especially love the good and bad gossip of the News monitor section. They have great photos and great choices of highlighted shows.
If you are into entertainment news – this is the mag for you. It’s loaded with all the “inside” stuff that’s hard to find. A great mag!
I used to enjoy receiving my copy of EW every week and read it cover to cover. Not anymore. I’m letting my subscription run out and will never look at its pages again. Gone are the witty, snarky reviews, interesting articles, and the full coverage of everything in entertainment. Now it plays obvious favorites, panders to whatever teenybopper flavor of the month is hip at the the moment, and pounds out articles with all the depth of shampoo instructions. All you have to do is look at EW’s shameless boot-licking of that hack Stephenie Meyer and you’ll see what I mean.
Going into my 5th subscription year, I’m not an audiophile, not a TV junkie, not a movie nut, not a Hollywood sycophant AT ALL. But my wife and I read a lot. EW is always received enthusiastically every Friday.
It is some of the best quality writing to keep you amused and interested as well as in touch with the rest of the entertainment world. It’s hip!….and that’s from a 65-year-old-f**t. We get a heads-up on the best of the most recent fiction and non-fiction as well. We also get good film reviews and a comparison with critical opinions nation-wide. I subscribe to five quality magazines but always grab EW first. Enjoy.
All the Hollywood hub-bub that’s fit to print(and some that’s not) is packed into every issue of this weekly magazine. If you or someone you know likes to know the latest in the world of movies, music, TV, books and what those unpredictable celebs are up to, you’ll be right on top of things and in the know immediately.
Articles on up and comers,big stars(is that wedding on or off?),reviews of new movies, books and music, what’s hot on TV this week(what are those crazy ‘survivors’ up to this week?), what’s in , what’s out,(or in some cases who’s in and who’s out)are among the highly entertaining entries. You’ll know when that classic movie you’ve been waiting for to be released to DVD will be in stores, and what CD’s are at the top of the charts.Weekly features include style,monitor(who got engaged, married, arrested etc), box office list toppers and TV ratings.
“Entertainment Weekly” is a fun and light read that will keep the entertainment buff in the know and up to date on all the dish and disses,all the picks and pans. For yourself, or as gift you can’t go wrong for the price of this weekly subscription. The savings is huge by buying it this way.
It may not be the type of magazine you will keep forever, but it’s one that you may pass on to your Doctors office, or let the kids use the pictures for school projects. 5 Stars for a great package deal!
I let my subscription lapse for about two years and just recently renewed again. I was surprised to find that I missed this magazine. It’s not deep, it’s not all inclusive, it’s not a necessity – but it is – surprise! – entertaining!
As an “old” person, it’s a good way for me to keep up to date on the pulse of the entertainment world – there are reviews about things I might have missed otherwise, advance notice of books, movies, music, and I can go thru it quickly. I’m glad I renewed!
First off, I usually just stick to rating & critiquing movies. But, every time I see an ad on this website for this Time/Warner (or whatever the hell the company calls itself this week) rag-mag I start to see red.
“Entertainment Weekly”, which was once an interesting weekly deluge from the ho-hum of everyday life, has become just another rag crapped out weekly to stand on newstands week after week prostituting for your hard earned cash.
Back in the summer of 89, “EW” was released and after I read a few issues, I decided to subscribe. I was instantly hooked (the new issue would arrive in my mailbox the Saturday before it would hit regular newstands) & I liked getting the latest news and reviews from movies, music, T.V., and video (that was later added in the mid-90′s).
The problem with the magazine started in the late 90′s. I started to notice that “EW” would cover a big movie or event that hadn’t yet been released and then the following week bash the hell out of it, or try to get some piece of dirt on it in order to generate more sales.
I also hate the damn lists that “EW” comes up with. The latest entitled “The top 100 most memorable movie lines” was a joke. These lists have always annoyed me, because I feel they are truly not thought out and therefore not thought provoking.
The other & most important thing I noticed was the absolute lack of an honest review.
Case in point, a few weeks ago I picked up the latest issue in which the movie “Catwoman” had been reviewed (I wasn’t to sure if it was Gleiberman or Shwarzbaum that critiqued it).
I first logged onto “Rotten Tomatoes.com” to see what percentile “Catwoman” recieved from the nation’s critics.
Out of roughly 115 reviews “Catwoman” only got 10% of the good reviews while the rest trashed it (a film needs, at least, to get a grade of 60 – 65% in order to place it as a fresh or good movie). That makes “Catwoman” the worst reviewed film, so far, for 2004. Yet, “EW” gave the film a B. What erkes me even more is that “Catwoman” is released by “Warner Bros.”, the same company that owns the rights to the “Harry Potter” films, “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy, & yes, the “WB” owns “Entertainment Weekly”.
Is “Warner Bros.” trying to bribe or threaten its own critics at one of its most popular & lucrative magazine’s?
I’m not the only who has seen this developement. People have written in saying that there is favoritism among “Warner” products that are reviewed in the magazine. “EW”, of course, hotly denies anything of the kind thumping there chests and standing behind there reviews, possibly in fear of being fired (they will deny that also).
My only question to the reviewers at “Entertainment Weekly” is, “Whats it like to stand in your own pile of bull**it?”
Or better yet, “What’s it like to stand on a Democratic Podium?”
