... review which both tended to give away the whole plot - especially that all-important twist at the end! So, that was a whole month of films ruined for me... Eventually I found "Film Review", which is somewhere between "Sight and Sound" and "Empire". For me the most important aspect of a film magazine is the quality of the reviews. These tend to be pretty good. They are written in an intelligent and approachable way, and conveniently for me tend to coincide with what I think about fi...more

"Film review" is a general film magazine much like many of the other film magazines on the market at the moment. It is, however the longest running magazine of its type, covering fifty-one years of film-making and reviewing -although I know many people believe that this accolade goes to "Empire". It originally started life as a free promotional magazine which informed film-goers what would be hitting their local ABC cinema within the coming months. (A fairly recent example of this type of magazine would be "Flicks", which I believe began to charge, but which I certainly haven't seen since its attempt to make that transition.) Over ...

If Empire is the government of film magazines then Film Review is the Worcestershire county council (no offence to either!).Empire is commercial in its critiscm and easily bribed to hype the bigger more expensive productions whilst FR generally talks up what it perceives are good movies over what they really think, hence Evolution getting four out of five. This is the only issue I buy though as it has a complete A-Z filmography of last year’s releases. The reviews are taken from the magazine over the year, which is ideal for the winter video watchers who start to go through cinema releases they want to see now on DVD and VHS. Its an ...

*** The following review was written in september 2000. I have left the review untouched but have placed an update at the end to cover any changes since it was written. *** It was way back in the early 80's that I first started to buy film magazines although I've been a movie addict for as long as I can remember. Film review was one of the first I bought. It has gone through a number of changes in its long history but the current product is, I'm afraid to say, a great disappointment to any movie fan. Over the past few years I've seen the magazine diminish in size both in the number of pages (currently averages about 100) and ... Read the complete review
