Advantages: A wide variety of articles and news, they always get the stories hot of the press!

Disadvantages: Can at times be quite opinionated, but it's a magazine after all.

It's always hard to choose the right magazine; some are so opinionated that you don't really get all the information you want. In some respect I'm talking about Total Film here, some articles are very opinionated and they only tend to publish stories about what they like, however on the other hand they do well to give in depth view, even if it is a little biased.

I remember buying my first copy because it had some free gift, I can't quite remember whether it was the issue with the film posters I still have up in my room, or the director's book that's sitting on my shelf. If they are to be praised, they never give out duff freebies! However that's not the reason to buy this magazine.

The reason why I do buy this magazine; opinionated articles aside, is because they always get a scoop on what's up and coming in the film industry. I don't tend to buy magazines to read about films that are soon to be hitting the big screen in the next month - that's what the internet is for! However, many times I've bought the magazine to find out what I can look forward to seeing in the next 6 - 12 months; trust me, they do well to scoop the big news!

Also they do cover stories on various actors and actresses, directors and producers. It's always good to know why a story was created, how hard it was to play a certain role, or what directors hope to be doing in the next year or two. This is an all rounded magazine which is what I like about it, in summary it's got; the latest scoop on up and coming films, general production news of films, actor/actress/director/producer profiles and interviews, reviews of films/DVD's, and a good freebie with almost every magazine. It's your sort of average film magazine with lots to get your teeth into.

Summary: Something for everyone, get up to scratch on what's going on in the film industry.
